Based on what you've said, there seems to be a comfort factor issue in play.....and as such, I'd probably take a pass and not return the call.

Wow, that Photo Shop program works wonders!! You really can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!!!

Gentle Giant

Last night, I noticed this line in one sellers item description (for a book): I do not refund postage, just the cost of the item if I have grossly misrepresented an item. Well that outta give ya an extra confidence boost!! Bid away!!

Heck, I slapped on a suit and strolled into the National Gallery of Art yesterday and offered it up (for free) as an Object d'Art and your superiors quickly summoned the guards had them escort me from the bldg.

I just sold a disc to a very nice man in Austria who hadn't read the payment instructions (PayPal, check, cash) and kept inquiring about the possibility of wiring the money to my bank etc.. I told him I wasn't set up to do that and finally suggested he just send me a 10 Euro note and I'd send him 1 Euro change w/the disc. I then discovered that I only had a few 100 Euro notes in the drawer and no small change.....must have tossed all the coins in the 'spare change/charity box' in the airport -- %$#@ !! Asked a few friends over the weekend if they had any coins...nope! Aware of her recent trip to Paris, I then asked my kids 2nd grade teacher at school yesterday if she had a spare Euro? Winner!!!!

Yes, thanks Mark.... 'PB' is the one!!

Is your pleasure the important factor here?

Are any of those european ZYX Fantasy 20-bit titles copy controlled? Reason I ask is that it took a good 8+ minutes (each) for Nero to 'fight' its way through the Adderley 'SF' and Monk 'Himself' digipaks. Normally, the data extraction stage would take 2 min. or thereabouts.

There have been a boatload of 'em for sure...but the one that comes to mind at this hour is that Bill Murray 'Stripes' one ---- and anything else that Goldie Hawn was in (excluding 'Death Becomes Her').

I bet that 'plane wreck' is better than Byrd's 'Street Lady' by an order of magnitude.

<<<By the way, I called Friday AFTER the first set and they couldn't tell me who was in the band. Of course, Wallace only announced it at the beginning and end of each set. Blues Alley is a fucked-up joint in many ways.>>> I know what you mean. During the Curtis Fuller show it took some 30 minutes for someone to pass me a note with the name of the trumpet player scribbled on it (Donvonte McCoy). I wasn't expecting 'snap too' service or anything but the funny thing was that she said she'd had a difficult time finding anyone in the 'back' who actually knew. I dunno, maybe that's not all that odd? <<<<I love the way we totally derailed this thread.>>>> Too true......I suppose we should bug out & refrain from offering up thorough critiques of the chips & salsa and assorted beverages that they serve in there.

<<<<I was sitting against the middle partition (so I got to hear all the dropped dishes - I think last night was a record). >>>> Yes, that's for sure!! <<<I agree that Val Jeanty, the turntablist, was quite a good looker. What silky blonde hair? She wore a knit cap the whole night! >>>> Yes, she was a looker...........but I was actually talking about a patron who was seated directly in front of me at another table. That would be great if you could post any setlist info that you get from your friend.

Fire up a Camel and gaze at the ceiling.

Yeah, really.

Bridge Street Books on 'M' Street next to the Four Seasons in Georgetown.

BTW, Bertrand......I didn't recognize that one uptempo number that really showcased the bass player. I think it was the 3rd song. Did you happen to catch the name? That was truly !

Really? I was at the 8....you? I was sitting at the table for three right next to the stairwell up (I like that table). Roney was great...but did you notice (assuming you were at the 8 show) how he suddenly started frowning at the end of the first number? No question about..pointing to his ear and shaking his head....he was clearly unhappy at the way things were 'gelling' and I figured it was that turntable biz gone bad. I really thought that turntable was an annoying distraction, as did the other two seated at my table. Then again, that woman in the red top (back facing me) with the silky blonde hair who kept slowly stroking it all night long was a 'berry, berry good' distraction. Say, you weren't the guy w/shaved head & leather jacket next to her, were you? As for Allen, when she was playing the piano, she was her usual magnificant self.....I just don't like the fender rhodes. The bass player was tremendous. All and all, the last 2 numbers (w/that lovely ballad) was what I'd really hoped to see when I walked through the door.

"Emulate"..."highly developed group interaction". Sounds like what the Wallace Roney Sextet tried to do at the show tonite .....the original Miles tutored clone isn't he? When I see Geri Allen banging away on the fender rhodes and the others trying to interact with the woman spinning a silly turntable for a couple of tunes from the 'Prototype' Lp, I think 2nd rate. I'll take the Cox stuff any day. B-)

Why are they considered to be 2nd rate?

No info on the French Jazz Trio??? ...this can't be!!! Is this the Georges Arvanitas Trio in disguise?? Where's Brownie? Don't tell me he's gone off to yet another reunion and is stumbling around Algiers again in his tight fitting old Legionnaire uniform with a bottle of Blanc de Noirs in one hand and a Diplomaticos in the other? ** if he's not around, Claude will do nicely..........after all, those well-to-do Luxembourgers are all in that French cultural orbit anyway. B-)

Even though the three LPs were purchased by 'thesquaresaol' on different dates, it's quite odd to see an 'A+' sandwiched in between 2 negatives. That's a first.
