Any of you wise guys bother to listen to the samples Danny linked? Mind you, it's nothing earth-shattering or innovative, but the music is competently played and quite enjoyable. Very few guitar/sax duo recordings out there. It deserves a listen, imo. Sorry to learn Mr. Fortunato passed away last October.

Where's the contradiction if he's heading home, as I suggested?

Hey Bu! Watch out! K.D.'s gonna crush your head! crush, crush

This great song is Gerry Marsden's homage to his birthplace, Liverpool. It's a busy, yet friendly place - "the place I love. And here I'll stay". I don't see that he's speaking to any one person in particular. And given that he's asking that the "ferry cross the Mersey", I assume he wants it to take him to the place he loves. The song comes from a 1965 film bearing the same name. It stars Marsden and the Pacemakers and portrays the excitement surrounding the Liverpool music scene with the rise of the Merseybeat sound.

This topic has already been addressed Etta James.

Couldn't disagree more. It's not any easy instrument to master, but those who do make it sing and swing. To my ears, a well-played bone sounds good in a big band, in a bop/hard bop/post-bop outfit, and in freer settings as well. Some people hate bass solos, others make a face when the drummer gets some. You're entitled to your personal preferences, but I think you're missing some great music by dismissing the trombone.

Thanks, that was a fun video.

"Down The Rhodes"? What a lame title.

Understood, but you would be wrong and not entitled to that money.

I thought this was a story about a lawyers' convention.

You might want to steer clear of Pyle electronics. They seriously overrate the power output of their amps by advertising wattage in peak, not effective (rms) values. That "40w" mini-amp puts out 8w @ 1% THD.

After weeks of trouble with the revised website and countless threads on the eMusic board chronicling people's problems and complaints, I'm amused by members who still feel the need to start new threads saying, "I don't like the new design. It doesn't work. You don't care about us. If you don't change it back, I'm outta here!". In addition, there are those who make a point to post a quick snipe on each and every thread, just so everyone is reminded that they're one of the mob. Anyone who does make a move toward the door receives an additional month's credit for free as an incentive to stay. I've never read anyone say, "No, you can't buy me off. I meant it, I'm gone". Instead, it's "Well okay, I'll take your free gift, but in another month I'm outta here!" How many will actually leave for good remains to be seen, but I'm sure they'll slam the door a few times on the way out.

Not sure where you got this information, but the obituary you linked to says he appeared on hundreds of recordings in a career that spanned 70 years.

I've noticed fluctuations in the price on various non-music items in the save for later section of my shopping cart from time to time. I doubt it's the result of manipulation but instead, a reflection of fluctuations in the cost of the items. If a distributor raises the cost, Amazon would understandably increase the price. My experience has been that prices drop as much, if not more, than they increase.

Now these are baffling (as well as a bit nauseating)!

Happy Turkey Day! Go to an Amazon page featuring an mp3 for sale. Look in the upper right corner and click on "$ redeem a gift card or promotion code and view balance". Insert the code STUDYBRK to receive $2 credit toward an mp3 purchase. Note: The credit expires Monday, November 28, so use it or lose it. Now, pass that stuffing!

So much pain, so much sorrow, so much drama. Such is the life of many who regularly post on the eMusic board. While there's certainly a good amount of unnecessary stress and confusion in dealing with this new format, I find the nastiness and histrionics of some members rather laughable. For some reason, I've encountered few of the problems others report, and I've had no difficulty downloading files or saving titles to my list.

Doh! I finally appreciate what you've been saying all along, Jim. If this music is now in the public domain, it should be just that - public, i.e., free. In most cases, Jordi and his ilk contribute nothing substantial, i.e., improved remasterings, restored original artwork, etc. All they are doing is making money off of that which already belongs to us. It really is quite ludicrous to pay for what they are selling.

Have these tracks appeared on other CDs or download services meanwhile? To answer my own question, these two tracks (and "All I Want") are featured on a third disc included with the Japanese limited edition of Then And Now: The Definitive Herbie Hancock. Since the Japanese edition of River already includes A Case of You, the Japanese get to buy all four of the bonus tracks on CD. Of course the whole thing is a major rip-off... Most of what Herbie has released in recent years is a rip-off.

The almighty buck takes a front seat again I see. If you're gonna take a stand on something that's as good as anything else, I suppose. WTF? Really? Are you trying to start trouble? Depending on how one reads it, one could ask the same question of you. I don't know your intentions, so I don't assume there's anything underhanded about your comments.

Spreading more rumors, are we? Sad, very sad.
