my father in law, a heavy drinker, who worked at the city bus garage, had lost his drivers license years before. when tipsy after work, which was often, the police would bring him home on back of their motorcycle. his dog, a spitz, each time she heard a motorcycle approach, would rush to the door to greet him. Spitzy survived him by years, yet always rushed to the door..........

but playing slow is so difficult. should one practice fast to be able to play slow???

Thanks for the link! IMHO, the greatest jazz improvisers had the ability to think of and execute high quality lines at tempos the reast of us can only open our mouths and say, "huh? to me, braxton is the fastest.............

sweet-thank you sir!!!!

The National Transportation Safety Board said states should shrink the standard from the current .08 blood alcohol content to .05 as part of a series of recommendations aimed at reducing alcohol-related highway deaths."

thank you!!!

http://jazztimes.com/articles/27721-lee-konitz-a-q-a-by-ethan-iverson "Lee: I have one of these little dictation machines, a $49 machine with digital pitch control and a bunch of tracks. I have Lester Young solos, Wayne Shorter solos fromLive at the Plugged Nickel, some Jamey Aebersold records, some Warne Marsh. I can listen to it at the different speeds. I haven’t had that facility because I don’t use a computer. Ethan: It’s fun to hear those solos slowed down, isn’t it? You can hear what the notes are, finally. What I find amazing with people like Lester Young or Warne Marsh, is that even when you take their fast lines and slow them down, it sounds swinging—it’s still so rhythmically accurate. Lee: They somehow slowed it down in their learning of the lines, and they’ve gradually sped it up as they felt each note. I think that’s the process. I’ve been invited in August to be part of a workshop in Denmark and then immediately after to go to a week’s workshop in Slovenia. I had been invited to do that a few years ago, but I didn’t do it maybe because I wasn’t feeling well or whatever. I’m looking forward to that kind of intensity."

indeed!!! rich rich faire!!!! thx.
