While I too am confused about the message in flat5's post, reading different accounts of the accident provides some clarification. Depending on the source, Golub was either "dragged", "hit", "clipped", etc. by the train. From what I gather, he fell onto the track, but was helped back onto the platform by others as the train came in, and therefore only his leg was injured by the moving train. As far as the dog's role in the incident, Golub is quoted as saying, "Nobody had enough time when I was jumping in front of the train to stop me, but there was a guy who helped pull me up. I'm lucky I didn't fall underneath the train." Given this reluctance to assign blame, I'm inclined to extend the same courtesy to Luke.

Funny? Sort of. Genuine? No. This "interview" is a fake, one of many written by people emulating "yogiims" to explain/entertain about a vast array of topics.

Howard McGhee - Plays Music from "The Connection"
sonnymax replied to Head Man's topic in Discography
I like the Payne/Drew score, although not as much as the one penned by Freddie Redd. Considering the fact that Payne has Clark Terry, Bennie Green, Duke Jordan, Ron Carter and Charlie Persip on hand, how can you go wrong? -
Howard McGhee - Plays Music from "The Connection"

Everybody heard this one? -
Well, it's not your point, but that doesn't mean that my views are irrelevant. Threats, no matter how unlikely, are still a possibility, and in this matter they are unnecessary and easily avoided. There is absolutely no need to publicly share information that might in any way reflect negatively on our host. What we say privately is our own business. I can't understand why this alternative would not satisfy the different positions expressed here.

I'd like to add two points, if I may. To say that Jim has "nothing to fear" in a potential copyright lawsuit argues the point that he would win any such litigation. Such an argument misses the point that he nonetheless could be harassed with the threat of legal action. That harassment, brought on by our actions, would be inexcusable, imo. My second point is this: if a member is interested in obtaining or sharing a questionable title mentioned in someone's post, they need only send a PM to that person. A private message is an easy and effective way of communicating information that might raise questions or concern in a public forum.

That's fine. I'll settle for a Sky King Tele-Blinker ring!

Given that it shares the same title, I'd imagine it is.

Looks like a Fender Stratocaster!

If you ever see the Mingus Big Band perform Boogie Stop Shuffle, you'll be treated to Ku-umba Frank Lacy singing the words to the Spiderman theme over Mingus's music. It's funny to watch the faces of audience as they experience the same "ah-ha" moment you describe.

You guys should read the article before posting comments. Nobody "entrusted" or "paid" the woman, she did it on her own without permission and without other people's knowledge.

Maybe we need a secret handshake.

Of course, the Chicago Jazz Festival is hardly complete without the after-fest jam sessions at the Jazz Showcase, hosted this year by Ira Sullivan and Stu Katz. Although the Festival is free, the Showcase isn't. It will cost you $20 to see who shows up from the Festival, and to enjoy a host of talented local artists. If you've never seen Ira, you have to go!

I guess Herbie should know. He used to play jazz. -
Comedian Phyllis Diller dies at 95

A smiles is a curve that sets everything straight - Phyllis Diller Rest in peace, and thanks for setting us straight. -
Personally, I'm glad to see the RVG remasters go. Aside from some of the early stuff (Miles Vol. 1 & 2, Monk's Genius Vol. 1 & 2, Eminent J.J., and a few others) I never did care for those things.

It took me less than 10 minutes to find lossless versions of all the Sun Ra titles in that box on the Internet. Why should I pay someone else?

My dog doesn't like Sun Ra or Sunny Ade
sonnymax replied to The Magnificent Goldberg's topic in Miscellaneous Music
Past trauma or neurological conditions can make it difficult to train individual dogs, but it isn't true that "pugs can't be trained". No offense, but the problem probably lies in your methods. 99% of effective training is teaching owners how to behave. As to the OP's question, my two cats have never displayed obvious distaste for any of the music they've heard. With names like Max Roach and Sonny Rollins, I guess this isn't surprising. Of course, I've never subjected them to smooth jazz. I'd conduct an experiment to test this possibility, but APA guidelines for ethical research prohibit me from doing so.
