thank you.

I just purchased a ticket - first row in the balcony. That'll be me whooping it up when you come on stage, Steve.

I did a little searching and found it! Rick Torme Banner

The limit is 3.

Yes, indeed. And Hoagy Carmichael, too. I'm pretty sure Norm doesn't mean Great American Songbook stuff, although that's deflintely pop. If we stick to the sixties and later, we'll probably get somewhere near what Norm wants. Except I don't know if he means to include black pop or not. A lot of black pop does very well in jazz as they're not too far apart in the first place. Let's say People get ready A change is gonna come Shake Ain't that peculiar Sookey sookey Let the music take your mind Slippin' into darkness Inner city blues What's goin' on Papa's got a brand new bag Ain't it funky now Sing a simple song Who's gonna take the weight Love the life you live (Your love is) so doggone good Papa was a rolling stone Endless love Living for the inner city Higher ground Don't you worry 'bout a thing All in love is fair (four from one LP!) In the heat of the night Secret agent man Concrete jungle I no get eye for back When a man loves a woman Goin' out of my head Barefootin' Cissy Strut Ain't no sunshine Doctor Feelgood Just my imagination Young, gifted and black Theme from Shaft See? There's plenty. MG what are the jazz versions of these tunes?

Let's start flooding the Internet with a new catch-phrase to express outrage toward an outside party. The catch-phrase is: Those Fucking Wombats!

So far, I've received 7 of the 14 titles I ordered two weeks ago. And yet I've received a total of 14 cds in two shipments. The answer to this riddle? They sent me the same 7 titles twice! What's a guy to do?

For those of you who have received partial shipments and have questions, have you read the following your shipping notice? UNSHIPPED ITEMS? Please Read!!! We keep most unshipped items on backorder for up to 30 days from the date of the original order, at which time the backorder will automatically cancel without further notice. Items marked C/O (cut-out) or LMTD (limited) will not be backordered. If you paid by credit card, you have not been charged for any unshipped item(s). If you paid by check or money order, this invoice is a credit memo that can be used on future purchases, or you can contact us to request that we send you a refund check. If you log onto Oldies.com, click on "your account" then "latest purchases," you can see which titles you might eventually receive (in purple), and which titles you should start looking for elsewhere (marked "discontinued.")

try lightening up a bit. you'll live longer. If you like Zappa, maybe you'll find the other threads interesting too! sorry, my bad. i thought you were being sarcastic and dismissive. gonna switch to decaf for a while. :blush2:

Got 15 minutes to waste? This has got to be one of the strangest guest appearances ever on the old Steve Allen Show. Frank Zappa, age 22, playing the bicycle and instructing Allen and his band how to play experimental music. Lumpy Gravy indeed!

what do you like to drink while smoking a cigar? "Asthma doesn't seem to bother me any more unless I'm around cigars or dogs. The thing that would bother me most would be a dog smoking a cigar." - Steve Allen

Flora art - it's not just for album covers: Check out this devils food cake from Brooklyn's JollyBe Bakery: Floraphile Shannon Wade, of Portland, combined elements from the covers of The Pete Jolly Duo and Mambo for Cats into her tattoo.

While I can't argue with your personal experience, your statement isn't logical and it runs counter to my own experience. How "cool" a cigar's draw is depends on the amount of outside air contained in the smoke. The more outside air, the cooler the draw. The length of a cigar has little to do with this, but ring size is important. The larger the ring size, the more area there is to bring in outside air. Hence, a 52 will be "cooler" than a 44 (measured in 64ths of an inch). Smoking a torpedo cigar (one with a tapered end) is supposed to further enhance the coolness of the draw.

I am very happy with the Boveda humidipaks. Unlike the cheap foam inserts, Drymistat tubes, and other humidifers that just keep pumping out moisture, Boveda is a 2-way system that releases moisture when it's needed, and absorbs it when it's not. As a result, there's less fluctuation in the relative humidity. You don't have to fill it with water or solution, and you can lay the humidipak right on top of your cigars. Boveda offers humidipaks at different RH levels (65%, 69%, 72%, 75% and even 84% for seasoning a new humidor. I've found that two 72% humidipaks are perfect for my 25-cigar humidor - my digital hygrometer almost always reads 70% RH! They're not expensive ($3 each at Amazon with free shipping), and they last two months (maybe longer). Check them out: Boveda

as you get older, you learn to live with a few clicks and pops.

But seriously folks, here's a useful purchase for the novice cigar smoker: Here are some things I've learned along the way: 1) Don't bite off the end of a cigar. Buy a cutter or a punch. 2) You'll tear the wrapper by removing the band too early. Peel it, or better yet, wait until it loosens toward the end of your smoke. 3) Lighting your stick with a matchbook match or a fluid lighter can alter the taste. Use wooden matches or a torch lighter. 4) Relighting is fine during a single smoking session. Saving half of a smoked cigar for later is a less satisfying experience. 5) Relax and savor your cigar. Smoke too fast and it will burn too hot, causing tears in the wrapper and a harsher taste. 6) Machines? Are you serious? Never settle for anything less than a hand-rolled cigar. 7) Even a great cigar will taste/burn poorly if it's not stored properly. Follow the 70/70 rule (70 degrees Fahrenheit/70% relative humidity). 8) Don't assume the cigar store adheres to #6. Are the display cases closed? What humidification system do they use? Does the hygrometer read "70/70"? 9) Pair your smoke with a suitable beverage. Avoid fruity or ice-cold drinks. Coffee, espresso, root beer, or ice tea are good non-alcoholic choices. 10) When you're done, let the cigar burn out. Crushing it in an ashtray creates more stink.

Just sittin' back, relaxin' with some smokin' poo.

Don't worry boys, she's got sisters! Courtney, Tiffany, and Andrea!

Haven't similar threads about Mr. Tanno's sales list always appeared in the Reissues forum? I'm not complaining, mind you. I'm just curious about the reason for the move.

A 3CD box set called Wildflowers: The New York Loft Jazz Sessions - Complete was issued on the Knitting Factory label back in 2000. It featured full versions of some tracks that were edited for the original vinyl releases.

This 3CD set is being reissued by Douglas on Sept. 8. It appears to have new packaging/notes, but I don't see any indication of whether or not it's been remastered as well.

I believe it's Abraham "Boomie" Richman. He played in several big bands (Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman), backed singers like Sinatra, Ella, Tony Bennett, and Peggy Lee, and did a lot of session work for TV. Supposedly, he also performed the sax solo on Buddy Holly's "True Love Ways." He wasn't a West Coast guy, but a native of Brockton "Shoe City" Massachusetts.
