Another big fan of Michel Pilz! Listen to clips from these two recordings: Michel Pilz/Bob Degen: Tilly's Eyes Peter A.Schmid-Michel Pilz Quartet: Sschmilz

"When TV didn't think of being politically correct" More to the point: "When our society believed it was acceptable to be openly demeaning to women."

So much music, played with wit, humor and honesty. Rest peacefully. I don't think he rambled, but he sure did mumble!

Has anyone listened to the free download of "Diane"? The first several seconds are marred by "warble" in the piano introduction, something that is not apparent on the OJC reissue. Don't know if the other tracks contain additional irregularities.

It would appear so. Before falling prey to "the dark satanic lesbian vampires who had sucked the life out of him" (too wordy, just say "Kardasians"), Jenner won a gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 summer Olympics. This was back when Olympic athletes were strictly amateurs and the Soviets dominated the field and track events. Jenner became a national hero, and his image was featured on the Wheaties cereal box (back when that used to mean something). He was awarded the AP's Male Athlete Of The Year (along with several other titles) and was later inducted into the Olympics Hall Of Fame. He made numerous TV and film appearances in the late 70s-80s and even had some success in auto racing. Now you know.

To the OP, it's not okay to copy an article word-for-word and post it here on the board. Forum rules instruct members to "post a small snippet, then include a hyperlink to the full article."

That's an improvement, but it's not nearly as good as it might be if you had the proper position/angle when taking the picture. Why not put a little effort in this area (like the inexpensive tripod I suggested earlier), then use the software to correct whatever minor distortions remain?

Quite understandable that you wouldn't have time to listen to that many discs within the return period. I wonder if it might be worthwhile in these situations to run each disc through a free ripper/converter application (I use X Lossless Decoder for Mac). It will give you a report that identifies any errors in a matter of minutes.

You fail to mention the fact she was found unresponsive in a bathtub, just like her mother, a few weeks shy of the anniversary of her mother's death, and not longer after the Lifetime biopic "Whitney" began airing. In our modern 24-hour news cycle, this certainly rates as "newsworthy", albeit very sad news.

I also enjoy the sound of this particular kind of trio, especially BassDrumBone. Here are some other suggestions. Hal Crook has recorded a few albums with bass and drums, as well as some with guitar and drums. I also like Nil's Wogram's Nostalgia Trio, a bone-organ-drums outfit.

It's not an album cover, but it is the work of famous photographer, Julio Mitchel.

Not really. According to livestrong.com, there's an almost equal amount of macronutrients in both nuts. "A 1-ounce serving of dry-roasted almonds has 170 calories, 6 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber. The same portion of peanuts contains 166 calories, about 7 grams of protein and 2 grams of fiber." Also, "the difference in fat content is minimal." In the end, it largely depends on what type of nutrients you're looking for. "Almonds are the nut to choose if you need to boost your intake of antioxidant vitamin E. ...On the other hand, peanuts are better sources of the B vitamins, especially folate and niacin."

If no one offers you a suitable app recommendation, might I suggest you look at the many inexpensive iPhone tripods? If I understand your problem correctly, you are unable to photograph the LP cover head on without some perspective distortion. Perhaps a tripod would solve your dilemma.

insensitive, ignorant and offensive.

Bobby Keys, longtime saxophonist for the Rolling Stones, died on Tuesday at his home in Franklin, Tenn., after a long illness. He was 70. "The Rolling Stones are devastated by the loss of their very dear friend and legendary saxophone player, Bobby Keys," the band said in a statement. "Bobby made a unique musical contribution to the band since the 1960s. He will be greatly missed." Keys was still a teenager when he played sax for Buddy Holly in the 1950s and later performed with John Lennon, George Harrison, Eric Clapton and Joe Cocker, in addition to the Stones. "He was a good friend and an inspiration to play with," said longtime friend and Nashville rock veteran Michael Webb, who performed with Keys in a band of Southern rock all-stars, Bobby Keys and the Suffering Bastards. Webb said Keys had a liver ailment and had been in and out of the hospital in the past two months. Keys wrote of his struggles with heroin and life with the Stones in the autobiography "Every Night's a Saturday Night." Keys was not a full-time member of the Stones but frequently led the horn section when the band went into the studio or on the road. Some of his best work can be heard on the songs "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," "Live With Me," "Brown Sugar" and "Emotional Rescue." NBC News

So BPI (The British Recorded Music Industry) and ERA (Entertainment Retailers Association) run the Official Charts Company, the outfit that wants us to believe that the number of records shipped equals how many are sold. Funny how the media just passes this along as fact.

Great recording.

Okay, if you're going to get serious and on-topic about it. Here's a blog I found by this guy named Scott who made his own shawms, and he discusses in detail everything you might want to know, including tunings: Scott's Making Do Oh, and one more thing: It's SHAWM WOW!

I never played a shawm, but more than one person expressed the opinion that my playing was a sham.

I am greatly saddened to hear of Tommy's passing. I've been a Car Talk fan for many years, and I continue to enjoy the rebroadcast of past shows. It's good to know that there are other people on the board who enjoyed his infectious laughter and appreciated his special kind of wit. I encourage folks to check out the free podcast of Car Talk at http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast/podcast_detail.php?siteId=9911203 Rest peacefully Tommy, and thank you.

Really? Then why did you say: I wrongly assumed you were successful based on this: Personally, I'm glad the quote is still there. I perceived you as being less-than-honest in your response to Dan that you were not saying Bill's comments "should or should not" removed. In my reading of your posts, You certainly were expressing the opinion that they should be deleted. And you are not wrong in believing that, because it is your opinion and you are entitled to it. I think I'm not alone in saying that it was good of you to contact Noal. Now, I realize that I might have misread your subsequent posts, for I assumed after being rebuked by Noal you went ahead and contacted Amazon and had the comments removed. If I am incorrect, I apologize. Lastly, of course you can begin any discussion you wish on the board. It's your right. However, I am still struck by the irony that starting this thread about not wanting to be associated with Bill enables anyone searching about Bill Barton to find this discussion and well...you.

Let's be honest, Allen. Of course you're saying Bill's comments should be removed from public view. By your own admission, you tried to convince Noel of this, and you were rebuked. You went ahead and contacted Amazon hoping that they would agree with your opinion, and you succeeded in getting it deleted. Undoubtedly, some people here will agree with your actions, and others will not. What I'm left wondering is why you felt the need to create a thread about this matter. In doing so, you have renewed the "association" between Bill and Organissimo, as well as yourself.
