(1024x768) faces don't lie; governments do. the false bravado, the makeup hiding tears and fears..... my job has been threatened and taken, as has or may be yours.... we hope not... the feds wants to take the local postmarking jobs (for a start) to cleveland(about 80 jobs). the newspaper article said something like the proposal is available for inspection at the local post office. i asked to see it. it's not there, at least for public inspection. doesn't that tell us something? <br type="_moz"> there's a community meeting at senior high tonight at 7pm where the cold facts will be administered. show these fine public servants our local support. are the good times really over for good?? merle haggard http://youtu.be/BRtqUNEKXdg

few folks can speak knowledgeably of jazz and it's lineage. as we all know, there are mountains of fine jazz predating bird.

saturday, sunday, monday on wkcr http://www.studentaffairs.columbia.edu/wkcr/ Submitted by Ellen Walkington on Wed, 17 Aug 2011, 1:46pmWKCR will dedicate 72 hours of broadcasting to the music of Lester Young and Charlie Parker. Join WKCR as we dedicate three days of programming to the music of two of the greatest saxophonists: Lester Young (born 8/27/1909) and Charlie Parker (born 8/29/1920). Each can be heard for 36 hours beginning August 27th. The music of Lester Young is an eternal font of jazz, returned to again and again by each generation of musicians. His lyrical conception, intimate tone, and sly, shocking phrasing helped redefine both his instrument, the tenor saxophone, and the jazz solo in general. In the Basie band, his flights of fancy found support on the ground of fresh swing rhythms. Combined with the burnished singing of Billie Holiday, his wit took on an edge and softened pained sophistication into raw beauty. It's no stretch to claim Pres as one of the greatest this music will ever produce. Dig for yourself from 12m on the 27th until 11:59am on the 28th. In Charlie Parker, we find more than just incredible technique, fearless improvisation, and newly advanced senses of harmony and rhythm. His fusing of all three opened the door not just to bebop, but to everything that followed, from Lee Konitz to Anthony Braxton. There are many others who contributed to the bebop revolution, including Diz, Monk, Klook, etc., but it is in Bird's music in which we hear the birth of what we now mean by "jazz." His tragic passing does not lessen the imprint of his contributions, and in the end it is always best to search for this impact in the music itself. Be sure to do so from 12n on the 28th until 11:59pm on the 29th. ------- Submitted by Leena Mahan on Tue, 23 Aug 2011, 12:56amWednesday August 24, 2011 6-9pm: Tune in to the Musician's Show this week to hear from percussionist, drummer and vibraphonist Ches Smith.

thtanks for the excellent inf0--there's more than thought.

thanks for that new release, but we're supposed to be giving you something.

thrift rack (1024x768) A naked Adam may have fallen upon an equally naked Eve without the need of props. But in this day of curiously unerotic sexual explicitness and demystifying psychological close-ups, we are in desperate need of the feminine wiles that once characterized style icons like Marlene Dietrich, Babe Paley, and Jackie O. (I think a hat qualifies, Ladies...) It isn't what I do, but how I do it. It isn't what I say, but how I say it, and how I look when I do it and say it. (Mae West) The right hat may also enliven our imagination of the past....an old-fashioned cloche, a picture hat, or a toque trimmed with a pouf of polka-dotted veiling is just enough to make us feel as if we were living in another, romantic age. http://www.hatladies..._hat_quotes.htm a classic jeanne ruarke issue tea for two prez with king cole http://www.youtube.c...h?v=VAG_Yo8709o

mulligan on clarinet-- i find it refreshing, but there isn't much of it. all that i recall is on the limelight issue "feeling good' with strings. is there more??

this magnificent thread, with all respect, may i submit that neither this nor any will remotely touch the political thread for self-righteous fervor, absurdity, lies, and nonsensical rhetoric.

relax, it's just coffee i thought.... waldron/blake http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAQpjP_E13U

considering all that, and i did, the skills of many jazz musicians border on the super human.

aloc don't eat none of that espn dog food,..... http://www.mansfieldnewsjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=PluckPersona&U=59765e993e204111b3346127254f17b2&plckPersonaPage=BlogViewPost&plckUserId=59765e993e204111b3346127254f17b2&plckPostId=Blog%3a59765e993e204111b3346127254f17b2Post%3a050236b5-7709-4a15-bde2-3f8525b13af6&plckBlogItemsPerPage=5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HywJReWoaM

has anyone played notable natural jazz on the natural horn???? i have little doubt that julius watkins, willie ruff, tom varner, or john clark, among others, could have tore one up, had they chosen to. http://www.csufresno...inor/horn.shtml

things ain't what they used to be

Listening now - Good selection of music. Guess I missed Clay Grossman. The host is Peter Kostakis. Still a good show. Probably the first time I've heard Bob & Ray on a jazz show. kostakis and art lange are on at that time every week. langes knowledge of recorded jazz and love for its many facets is seemingly unending. i'm unsure how he came by it. he's got to be in the production business. in the last few weeks, wnur has added some VERY knowledgeable 6 to noon jazz hosts to their weekday jazz schedule, many with broad historical perspective. frankly, for a couple of years, they weren't were the listening, except for a few dedicated veteran hosts.

sadly no http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/jazz/jazzlibrarya-z.shtml#h

brother aloc was 63 then. brother jim is 55 & change now...neither one of us should be trying to do in this heat what we did when we were younger. Nowadays, I don't even try. Don't need to, so don't try to. Now, if you would have been in this heat when you were 25 or so, you'd have kicked ass, I'm sure, and enjoyed plentiful beerage and bodacious barbequeage after you did. In the air-conditioning, of course! sad to say, the ears and brain, as well, slightly lose their ability to react to, comprehend, absorb, and emote to remarkable music performance.

the rangers are fast BECOMING the class operation of baseball.

Pics or it didn't happen! TOGTFO! ..thinking that the man with the golden palm has recently increased his clothing and grooming budget. we've all been there, goldy. perhaps someday we'll have a thread for coworkers who overly fumigate them selves.

pardon the sensitivity to heat and athletics. 5 years ago in sunny 95 degree heat, aloc was playing, outside at 2pm, full court basketball with a bunch of in shape young bucks well less than half his 63 years he, 3 days later, found that he had suffered a mini stroke during the game. his shots all were missing the basket 2 feet to the right and he got a bad headache. texans are athletically superior, it seems; brother aloc is not.

why can't politicans keep their mouths shut?? http://www.mansfield...gItemsPerPage=5

Ben watching every game, enjoyinh the outcome and evolution, mostly, but still reserving judgement on the teams' overall character (which is what matters most to me) until the regualr season has wrapped up. Yoo many chances in the schedule betweennow and then to take a nap, look away, and UH=oh, how did THIS happen. Then there's the upcoming off-season, do we make the effort to resign C.J. Wilson or do we do the FA shuffle? Me. I like CJ, but with the moves made at the deadline, JD has shown that he knows what his team needs and will find a way to get it as shrewdly as possible, so if CJ gets made an offer he can't (or doesn't want to) refuse, I want to see what's taking his place. Funny thing last night, though. Beltre (get that hammie mended up, bro!) was somehow right up by some mike in the dugout and was louder than hell all through the Rangers 5th. When Cruz hit his homer, there was a loud OH SHIT that was heard over the airways, louder than the announcers. Another one was heard when Mike Napoli followed right up with a solo shot, another SUPER loud OH SHIT out of the dugout and on to the airways courtesy of Adrian Beltre. But yeah, too much time between now and then to get all fanboy and just LOVE the Rangers, but...they went through too long thinking that things would just "happen" for them like they did last year, and no, things don't just "happen" you have to work to get them. Starting to see more and more of that as the end draws nearer, and when Beltre, who I've longed viwed as the wok-ethic "soul" of this team gets back (early Sept., most likely), that is when the tale will be told - will CJ bump it up and lock it in? Will Colby lose the vestiges of Bad Colby that still pop up at eh least expected places? Will Matt Harrison finally decide that all the drama of one rough/dangerous/bad inning just isn't worth it any more? Will Derek Holland just freakin' GROW UP? Will Alexi Ogando manage to keep zooming through this uncharted territory w/o one day just...breaking? Lots more questions to see answered between now and the end of September, but I've been most very happ with watching them get worked out, and am very happy at the preliminary answers. Been to the ballpark for seven games this year, most I've been to since...ever? Probably got a game or two left in me before it's all over too. I want to commit to this team, an almost have. But after years of Cowboys & Mavericks style-over-substance, and too many years of Rangers Tease, I need to know that there's more than just "sports entertainment" going on in Arlington. With all the injuries this year, if we can win the division in a convincing manner (i.e. - keep the Angels at bay ourselves w/o having to depend on the kindness of strangers) and win the West, I'll be satisfied. After that, either Yankees or Red Sox have the more veteran team, and a veteran-type patience with at bats is the one thing the Rangers have yet to learn, and I think that will be their downfall in this years' playoffs, should they make it. But just making it, even more than last year, will be a triumph, because there has been no "lightening in a bottle" this year. This year has been all about work - full team work - in the face of adversity, key players out for long stretches, wildly inconsistent pitching, a team just now starting to look like they're finally going to "click on all cylinders", well, ok, let's see. They've been winning enough to lead the west all season, but they could also have had a record by now that would have been SCARY good, easy. At least 10-15 of their losses were due to a laxity of mental character, the inability to just make the plays that needed to be made, and that could/should have been made. But that's getting better now. I'm willing to be convinced, but they're going to have to convince me. .....playing baseball in that intense heat would wipe out, or seriously diminish, any team by season's end. although your stadium is fabulous, your team would be better in a dome.

jim thome hit 2 homers in detroit last night. the second was #600, cementing a key tiger loss. tiger fans gave him a rousing lengthy standing ovation. that says as much for tiger fans as it does thome. i was listening to the tiger radio broadcast at the time. what a classy crew!!! (the very inexpensive mlb app (about $10/yr) allows me to listen to any and all mlb radio broadcasts live. they are usually synched with the tv broadcast or very very close. given the choice, i, most times, listen to the radio feed leaving the hdtv off. our imaginations are brighter and skilled baseball wordsmiths paint better pictures than the brightest screen).
