  1. are there any surviving recordings of the pre coltrane pianist alice mcleod? as i recall she was a driving pianist at that time.
  2. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-i've always thought of smooth jazz as a caponesque puerile limp sort of thing. the folks who consider it sexy clearly have an identity problem. http://moozone.com/c...g/album/1032762 From SilverlakeSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 4:25 Six AmSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 3:12 Nothing But MeSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 5:55 A Flower In The DesertSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 5:25 What We NeedSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 5:20 DowntownSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 6:13 I'm AliveSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 5:04 The Big SleepSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 5:04 Session 56Smooth Jazz Sexy Songs 4:45 All Good ThingsSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 4:24 Miles AwaySmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 3:31 Black SaturdaySmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 4:45 Stripper ParadiseSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 4:34 Sax In The City - Saxophone MusicSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 3:02 Liquid Step - Smooth Jazz MusicSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 4:56 Club L'amour Erotic MusicSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 5:02 MoodSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 5:25 PrismSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 4:36 Keep A SecretSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 4:24 One - Porn MusicSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 4:09 Remember Lounge MusicSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs 4:45 Nu Love Background Smooth Jazz MusicSmooth Jazz Sexy Songs
  3. ah--the prime disease of american businesses
  4. ah, yes--the arena league game!!!!!! it certainly kept me awake. players both sides looked severely gassed in the 2nd half.
  5. " I think she can make a contribution, saying visible in the media and getting involved with efforts to clean up governance at public corporations in the U.S. In my opinion, most of the financial crisis and the looting which has produced the U.S. wealth gap is caused by weak, corrupt, and inept boards. We have big structural problems in our laws, and in our constitution apparently according to the Citizens United ruling. Everybody knows." BULLSEYE!!!!!!!! THANKS boards are invariably, but not always, rubber stamps. there's a (microsoft plant) fly stirring the yahoo ointment somewhere. the hp board was another example of a stupid firing of an effective ceo, mark hurd, when no one was in place to replace him, over some minor financial and sexual pecadillos. heck, the vatican doesn't have standards as high as mark hurd was held to.
  6. boards with balls?? how uncommon. of course, microsoft, will one day own yahoo. maybe then yahoo should be named................microhoo.
  7. dozens of newspaper readers ideas and photos have been censored, and perhaps accounts suspended. the actions are ostensibly to protect the public and/or individuals from personal attacks. that's ok. it's their business; it's their rules. who is looking out for the eyes and delicate impressionable minds of our youngsters?? here are some 9-11 coloring books, aimed at our 'mature' kids. how many of 3 and 4 year olds watched the 9-11 horror with us while we shared popcorn; how many diverted the youngster with another activity? at watch age should youngsters see the ugliness of the world that come into our homes each night, enlighten and entertain us. there is the issue of the insensitive portrayal of muslims in some of the books, but my views are directed at the overall general pictures our youngsters were to color. do 'mature' kids in your family still do coloring books, even at 3 or 4?? heck, no. they are into more exciting electronic gizmos, sometimes using our own better than we do. local children's services officials have spoken to me about routinely available sex and violence and worse, and news which is piped into all of our homes, and all too often, the effect on these young folks too often molds their behavior and character abhorrent, crude, and violent. what they see, hear, and learn in schools would give you and me an education about lack of taste. a couple of properly tattoed, pretty, young high schoolers recently pointed out some web sites to me that made me feel like an out of touch quaker. i'm no quaker. the depictions you and i saw in our books and movies, and discussions of nazis, or japanese citizens or indians was blatantly and purposefully crude, too, but are we doing any better now, or as well. we won't be going back to howdy-doody time, capt. kangaroo, or romper room, but our children, their children and society, are paying a horrible price for the, whoevwer is to blame, inability to parent or control what they experience APRIL 29-2009--The Federal Emergency Management Agency has removed a children's coloring book from its web site following criticism over its inclusion of drawings of the September 11 terrorist attack oAPRIL 29--The Federal Emergency Management Agency has removed a children's coloring book from its web site following criticism over its inclusion of drawings of the September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. The coloring book, titled 'A Scary Thing Happened,' is geared towards helping kids 'cope with disasters,' and was prepared by a Minnesota crisis response team. Until yesterday, the coloring book could be downloaded from the FEMA web site. As seen below, the coloring book's cover montage includes a drawing of one of the Twin Towers on fire as a plane approaches the second building. A similar image, which children could color in, appears on page 12 of the book. If you'd like a copy of the entire 25-page coloring book, click here to download a PDF. The coloring book was created in 2003 for the Freeborn County Crisis Response Team and was illustrated by Marlys Jentoft, a 68-year-old grandmother of 10. In an interview, Jentoft, pictured above, told TSG she was unaware of the recent criticism of the coloring book, but would redo the drawings if asked. Jentoft, who volunteers for the Red Cross and church and crime victims groups, said that she did not give much thought to including the 9/11 images since, 'I feel like it was happening in the world and kids saw it. It is life.' (2 pages) twinkle twinkle little star http://www.youtube.c...feature=related

  9. modern musicians have more musical competition than ever, even if it isn't 'live', not to speak of the public's other distractions. music is too often, especially with me, relegated to the 4 or 5th subject of my multitasking schizoid attention span, and yet, i demand exciting, demanding, powerful, complicated cerebral music. were music made no more carefully than many of us listen to it, it would be even crappier than it is now. thanks for the perspective noj.
  10. i hope there is time for you and me today to stop for a minute or two and reflect upon the great wonder and mystery of life.
  11. in fairness to our board members, i started this thread wondering if anyone had heard from bill barton, wondering if he was ok. had i known where it would have led us, i would not have begun it.
  12. i still go about loving the beautiful i see and hear with no respect for time or society, and with increasing isolation. that comes with growing old, i guess. strangely, i mix that romanticism with a generally despairing pragmatic, matter of fact, view of life. what i cannot reconcile, i haven't come close, is me, an agnostic leaning heavily to atheism and having a deep, deep love for the finest spiritual and sacred expression.
  13. there is the unlikely, but completely plausible possibility, that another individual might have used bill's computer. i don't personally feel that to be the case here, but we should consider it.

  15. http://www.mrsec.com/2011/09/report-texas-lawmakers-about-to-get-involved-in-sec-expansion/ According to Orangebloods.com — the Rivals site covering the University of Texas — lawmakers in the Long Star State are on the verge of involving themselves in Expansionpalooza 2011. If they do, that could potentially be bad news for the SEC. Until late last week, Texas politicians had given Texas A&M a free-pass to exit and head east to the Southeastern Conference. But now legislators are worried that Texas and Texas Tech could bolt from the Big 12 and race west to the Pac-12. Some/many/most politicos in Texas don’t want to see that happen. So… According to Orangebloods: “Sources said the reason lawmakers are hot is that they received assurances from the Big 12, including (UT president Bill) Powers, that the Big 12 would survive without Texas A&M. And because of those assurances, lawmakers did not take an aggressive stand against Texas A&M withdrawing from the Big 12. But that may be changing. Sources said members of the Legislature are or will be reaching out to Texas A&M president R. Bowen Loftin to tell him the Aggies may no longer have the blessing of lawmakers to leave the Big 12, especially if it looks like the Big 12 will collapse.” In addition the site claims that Big 12 sources have said there is “an increasing likelihood of litigation” against the SEC. Good luck to the Big 12 on that front. The Big Ten began the expansion craze last summer. The Pac-10 then began flirting with Texas and others in an effort to swipe four- to six-teams from the Big 12, which would have extinguished the conference in one push. The Pac-1o was conducting an all-out raid last summer. By comparison, the SEC simply answered a phone call this July.......

  17. there are NO excuses for the lack of personal accountability and responsibility, as far as i'm concerned. we all have lots of excuses where we could justify lots of things, but most of us chose to accept personal responsibility and the consequences.
  18. Well, as I am always hinting here, the problem of jazz is that it is boring to most folks, and rightly so. Interesting to musicians, and the recorded music is interesting to collectors (often people without any musical preparation). So it is for musos and - ok I won't provide a term but people who like lists of records, personnel, recording dates, and the corresponding lines of objects. It is basically rarely interesting as composition (instrumentalists mistakenly think they are composers and think that their passe musical ideas are different idiomatically rather than just being cliched and outdated) and does not really work well as either a popular or public music - i.e. not catchy, but no gravity either. I'm not applying this to the music of the 20s and 30s which worked differently and in a different context, and in terms of the 30s is still organically connected to a lot of what gets done popularly today. Much music is minor music, that's it, and it is all optional (Zappa's idea: the world's finest optional entertainment). Contrary to the presumed attitude of the jazz audience aloc described, jazz is not so highbrow, but it is fiddly, fussy and musician centred, and if you ever worked with musicians you'll know, uh, all about that... you are getting awfully close to the kernel, david, and in very few words. thanks.
  19. one of jazz' biggest problems is that it is too often arrogant and exclusionary. walk in to the usual 15 people attending a jazz concert, and there is usually a certain arrogance, or at least intolerance of uninformed remarks, nonjazzmusicians, or questions. i'm guilty, and i don't even play....... if jazz is fucked up, you and i bear our individual burden of blame.
  20. http://blogs.ottawac...azz-that-sucks/ 4) Trumpeter Nicholas Payton weighed in this morning, via Twitter: “I don’t see how any sensible person can look at all the bulls— masquerading as Jazz being celebrated today and not know why Jazz sucks.” Uh oh. His elaborations are here.
  21. roses may soon bloom in this lowland again, and shed their blooms at autumn's call. earth reclaims man's spent structures as effortlessly as rose bushes shun their dying petals. when men choose to help, it is the better. (1024x768) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BorLMmHve44
  22. everyone's gone to the moon (1024x768) (1024x768) i look for real things. not much is. not the the painted faces on tv spewing government and corporate mind control. not those politicians and preachers and lovers lies meant to seduce me. not the 'friends' and family who only want my money, nor the painted ladies with tonka toy emotions a sincere smile, or someone sobbing on my shoulder, a mahler symphony, a ben webster ballad, or even a sincere emotinal outburst from a loved one, or a lonely train whistle in the night, an old old hound dog, that glass of lovingly made bourbon, or for breakfast a fried egg sandwich at white castle... these are the things i live for. 99% of the rest is roadkill. everyone's gone to the moon jonathon king Streets full of people All alone Roads full of houses Never home Church full of singing Out of tune Everyone's gone to the moon Eyes full of sorrow Never wet Hands full of money All in debt Sun coming out in The middle of June Everyone's gone to the moon Long time ago Life has begun Everyone went to the sun Cars full of motors Painted green Mouths full of chocolate Covered cream Arms that can only Lift a spoon Everyone's gone to the moon Everyone's gone to the moon Everyone's gone to the moon More lyrics: http://www.lyricsmod...han_king/#share
  23. You're welcome. (Now we'll start working on capitalization). ted, or Ted now you've gone a little too far, Ted. my good friend Goodspeak and myself had extended vitriolic exchanges lasting days over capitalization some years ago on this forum. it ended amicably. my beloved cat is now named Ms. Goodspeak.
  24. i've corrected the matter, ted. thanks for reading, and your input.
