yuk. thanks. my guess would have been a low failure rate. new technologies and atrophy over time are worries, as well. could lighting strikes/power spikes wreak havoc with a plugged in drive?

thanks for the fine info. i will do

i'm a newby at saving my reams of recorded material on usb hard drives. do any readers have suggestions as to economical efficient choices?

there was one on the tracks that i narrowly missed a few weeks past, perched on a rail. you bagged yours!!!!!!!!!!!

on a recent bitterly cold starlight january night, while the rest of mansfield slept, a small, dedicated group of mansfield's highest ranking male citizens and those who had left their ranks, gathered at a small elongated now vacant building on north diamond street just north of east 4th street to celebrate the festive times enjoyed there for years. one frequent customer mentioned leaving an empty pizza box bouquet monthly, for the ladies who sometimes provided the only joy in their loveless lives. 'safety was important to us. we never knew when our secretaries and coworkers would turn on us, spilling our eccentricities and telling the whole town, costing our cushy jobs. after a few years, the secretaries had become mechanical and boring. their triests had just become impersonal duties of their jobs, but these ladies were different.' heads were bowed, flasks were capped and a retired local minister who had been a regular, prayed for the many ladies who had been their gracious hosts, and for their souls, giving thanks for them, and wishing each, as many called out their names, many safe and healthy tricks. some of the guys recalled their favorite ladies, and many a tear was shed. then each gentleman kissed the painfully cold metal, some with their tongues, raising their right hand to touch the sign in their one time humble palace of downtown pleasure, fired up remote starters, jangled keys, driving sad and alone into the frigid pure clean air of a stunningly beautiful starlit moonless night.

Are you talking about this one; or this one? I only have the former, live in the mid 70's and it's very good. This one seems to be fairly new and possibly not out on cd before, anyone know anything about it? Here's the blurb from Amazon; Product Description During the first half of 1978, Stan Getz toured Europe with a sextet he co-led with trombonist Bob Brookmeyer. The other band members consisted of Andy Laverne on piano, Mike Richmond on bass, Jeff Brillingen on drums, and Efrain Toro on percussion. Afterwards, Getz would continue playing in Europe with different formations that sometimes featured a similar rhythm section to the one employed with Brookmeyer plus other guest musicians. This show features seven tracks including 'They Can't Take That Away From Me', 'Billie's Bounce' and 'I'll Remember April'. Gambit. 2009. shortly after that stan got a new recording deal with columbia and issued a 2fer recording with laverne and richman called 'another world'. on that recording he did at least one extended number with the echoplex, which i really loved, and which showed a promise of things to come, but they never came. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- not to be forgotten is the 60's string recording (russ garcia) of lovely lovely readings of ballads, 'cool velvet.' it is still a special favorite with me.

npr did a series of recorded live sets, JAZZ ALIVE, with some great jazz musicians in the early 80s. one of the most memorable was a long duo set, or maybe two, with stan and elvin, which was recorded on the french riviera. (..........if i could just find thosecassette tapes. mosaic could do a fab box set with those few years of jazz alive tapes.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ not to be overlooked is the little known mickey one soundtrack, arranged by eddie sauter, which was recorded very shortly after stan's fathers death. mixed in the wondrous kaleidescope of sounds, polka included, are moments of the most eloquent descriptions of despair and desolation that i have ever heard. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...........aloc is sad to say that a mature betty furness in a westinghouse commercial on studio one or westinghouse presents or something stimulated a tenderaged aloc. aloc always did, and still has, eccentric tastes, but margie's perkiness........ tyler moore copped a very tiny measure of margies bubbly qualities. is margie still being shown, except in rest homes?

'This is my backyard at high summer:' do nurture your lovely lovely yard often with some delius and mozart, and maybe some feldman(victor and mort), too.

that's indeed strange, because miles was a cat.

BIG O, of course

Butch Waller is the leader of "High Country": http://highcountrybluegrass.com/ So, "High Country" still survives after all these years.

a friend writes: "I'm actually familiar with Vaerse's work. He was a forerunner of Stockhausen and many of the 20th century composers who experimented with electronic music. When I was much younger I followed the development of electronic music until Christof Penderecki (sp?) came along with his orchestrations that made synthesizers moot. I knew Frank Zappa from a composers seminar he gave at OSU in the 80's. I was working in the Secretary of States office and Zappa came to the office to pick up some voter registrationm forms. Back then he was requiring everyone who attended his concerts to register to vote. He walked by the department where I was working and came in to say hello. You should have seen the looks on my co workers faces!"

has the internet bluegrass station in d.c. shut down? i remember playing "paul bley and peacocks not one, not two...." for one of my hardcore mandolin playing friends. i thought he would really be impressed. after one of the solo bass pieces he remarked "when do they start?"

Thanks, Bev. I like my music to be a bit more daring as well. I'm starting to get the sense that as ECM ages, its repertoire as a whole is less and less likely to be daring. I could be wrong though, just my impression. FWIW, I'm a big fan of the label. i went through an ecm phase for most of the 70s when i bought little else. some of the early ecm has aged so very beautiful and many stand alone for their stark beauty and uniqueness.. the touchstone, crystal shadows, egberto, some of the very classy surman stuff, nice guys, eberhard, chick's solo efforts, some of the rypdal stuff, keith's gorgeous staircase, paul bley's prodigous and introverted enter, to love. i think maybe my reactions to jarrett have colored my perspective on all of ecm for the past decade. he is barely tolerable these days and i dont know why. i know that i have missed much really fine music.

I'm looking forward to this one! aye

maybe change forum name to fotissimo? last night in the neighbor's backyard, OLD IDEA, plugging their new delmark release. often buttery toned cornet and brilliant composer JOSH BERMAN, tenor saxophonist with a wonderful rich tone that only comes out of a fine old horn KEEFE JACKSON, bassist ANTON HATWICH, vibraphonist JASON ADASIEWICZ, and drummer NORI TANAKA.

Okay, okay. But you've got to admit that Sinha would be a good name for a beer - maybe even better than Singha. I still like Chang better than either one.... haha. after a 6 bagger of the stuff in an afternoon, one should be allowed to drop a letter.

Have you ever tried Chang? I find it a little less bitter than Sinha. no. thanks!!!!!!!!!! apparently sinha is brewed under many names. it lost its charm after consuming a 6 bagger today. sinha is just ok, no way excellent. .....it takes a pretty picture, though.
