last time i was looking for a 40 ouncer, miller was the best i could find.

wow! lord, i hope this day is good-don williams

paul is a buckeye? he is even better than i thought!

yeah but i can get a 24 ounce natty ice or 24 ounce hurricane hi gravity for 99 cents. good bang for the buck. they are now marketing a caffeinated beer.

best wishes for a speedy recovery, Paul. i have known you only a few weeks, but you have already cast a giant shadow.

any one knew the name of a live recording he made at montreux in 1976? this is one i have to get.

if mickey one could be presented in a manner similar to 'i want to live,' you will have a winner.

not his b'day, either?

any excuse will suffice to justify listening to africa/brass. by the way, who did the horn arrangements there? mccoy?

my deepest apologies. i have amended the header. going to see the lieb man in a few weeks. of course, i am drinking.

'16 tons' 'love for sale"

paycheck's 'take this job and shove it' comes to mind; and brubeck's 'hi-ho hi-ho! its off to work we go'.

strangely, less dukies than one would expect have done well in the nba.

long night ahead. put down the natty for awhile:

budweiser natty ice. below is from epinions.com: The best among the cheapest, which makes it the best among the commercial brews. Jan 21 '06 (Updated Jan 21 '06) Pros For me, it is inexpensive, lacks major flavor Cons For some, it will be inexpensive, lacks major flavor The Bottom Line Certainly there are other brews to sample out there with much more complexity. But for a commercial brew, this one is as good as the others and much cheaper, too. Full Review Five stars you say? Listen: Natural Ice is cheap. Natural Ice has alcohol. And Natural Ice taste like… Budweiser. Well, perhaps it is not exactly like Budweiser, but it is close enough that almost all of you should not care. Sure it doesn’t taste like burned hops or a fruity banana. But it sure is cheaper then that beer that tastes like burned hops, and it gets you drunk just as quick. Personally, while I can taste a difference in the many wacky brands of beer, I must ask myself – does Samuel Adams truly taste better then, say, Budweiser Light? Or does Reisdorff Kolch truly taste better then Mackeson XXX Stout? Well, perhaps in that case, maybe. But still, in the world of major commercial brews, one beer is really the same as the next. Due to its cheap price and similar taste, I find this to be the best beer among it’s competition – major commercial beers. When we went over to Busch Gardens, we took the beer class. In this class at one point they offer you the cool, crisp refreshing taste of Budweiser, and you are allowed to taste it next to the cool, not-so-crisp-because-we-stuck-it-in-an-oven-for-several-days aged Budweiser beer. There is certainly a difference, but I distinctly remember my friend saying of the aged Budweiser – “this is pretty good” (it had real flavor like flowers and all eight of the different ingredients), and of the new Budweiser “this tastes like as*” (it had the flavor- or rather lack of flavor – or regular Budweiser). Which brings up my argument in this particular review: Can you really tell the difference between one of those $5/bottle beers and carbonated rat urine? And more importantly, can you truly tell the difference between Budweiser Select (panned here) and Natural Ice? Or even Budweiser and Natural Ice? I say – perhaps you can taste a difference, but whether one will taste better then the other is truly doubtful. From what I understand, Natural Ice has several differences from the main Budweiser label, the main one being that it is brewed much faster which leads to its cheaper price. There is also some freezing involved that allows them to remove water and increase the concentration of alcohol. Yay! Natural Ice is 5.9% alcohol, whereas regular Budweiser is 5% (Bud light, for those sissies out there, is a meager 4.2%). This means that if you half-quart a Natural Ice, you will be 40% more drunk then your friends half-quartin’with Bud Light, and 10% more drunk then your friends half-quartin’ with Budweiser (which is still not all that drunk). For me, the taste is … carbonated water with a slightly sweet, beer-like aftertaste. I will say one thing: this is one of the more fizzy beverages out there. It is more fizzy then Budweiser, and even more fizzy then Coca-Cola. This means many burps, and a rather filling beer. It also means that as you drink it, you will taste fizz. Not harsh beer, not fruity hops, but fizz. Just like Budweiser. On many other beer reviews of “better” beers, they tell you about the head, the look, and the aroma … Well, this is Natural Ice! Damn the head, look and aroma. You’re here because you’re poor and you want to get drunk. Still, the beer pours a dark yellow, with a white head that quickly leaves the glass. There is not much of an odor, but what there is smells once again like… Budweiser. For you that are so fond of putting this beer down, I offer the Natty Ice Challenge: take a bottle of Budweiser, a bottle of some wacky micro-brew, and ye old Natural Ice. Let a friend pour it so you don’t know which is which. Then choose the best. No cheating, now – we know that microbrew will taste different! Still, is the Natural Ice bad? It really won’t taste worse then Budweiser, and may taste better then that wacky micro-brew depending upon which brand you choose, and how much flavor you want in your beer. Most important with beer is – does it work? Will you feel all warm and fuzzy as you drink it? Will baseball be a lot more interesting and that bucked-tooth girl sitting next to you more attractive? With some beers – namely for some reason Michelob Ultra, the answer is no. But having just drank two of these, I can say that the answer is a most pleasant yes. And it got rid of my cough, too! Those of you looking for a wacky label and a slightly unusual flavor will prefer other beers. But for the majority of Americans – this beer will be just as good as another, and a lot cheaper at that. Five stars for the best among the commercial brews, and five stars for being cheap as well. Recommended: Yes Beer Name: Natural Ice Price per six-pack ($US): 3.50 ($1 for a 24 ouncer) Beer Rating: Better than most

"WHAT HE SAID" A COLLECTION OF QUOTES BY FREDERICK DELIUS (Compiled by Bill Thompson) Emotion is the flesh and the blood of music. Nothing is so wonderful as elemental feeling; nothing is more wonderful in art than elemental feeling expressed intensely. Music is a cry of the soul. It is addressed and should appeal instantly to the soul of the listener. It is a revelation, a thing to be reverenced. It is only that which cannot be expressed otherwise that is worth expressing in music. The only way for any man to write music is to follow the line of his own feelings. Always stick to your likings - there are profound reasons for them. The real musical genius writes for no other purpose but to express his own soul, and in so doing finds life's greatest satisfaction and joy. Give vent to the expression of your feelings in your own way, and you will eventually find it. Music is a way of expressing one's feelings; and one ought to follow one's own inclinations entirely, otherwise one will never attain to any intensity of expression or emotion - the two essential things in music. No composer whose chief idea is to be brilliant or startling ever lasts. Cleverness counts for very little, in my opinion. I believe that harmony is entirely a matter of instinct. In music, which ought to be the expression of emotion, only that which is based on emotion is capable of development, and nothing based on technique or on anything objective will develop into anything but mere intellectuality. You can't make music out of theories. When a man has to write about his methods of composition you may be sure he has nothing to say. Form is nothing more than imparting spiritual unity to one's thought. It is contained in the thought itself, not applied as something that already exists. The Negroes showed a truly wonderful sense of musicianship and harmonic resource in the instinctive way in which they treated a melody, and, hearing their singing in such romantic surroundings, it was then and there that I first felt the urge to express myself in music.

an occasional can is tolerable, but the taste grows old at the bottom of a 2-liter. pepsi jazz smells like stale mopwater. should have been called pepsi lite-jazz?

Wouldn't it be easier if we all just put our money in Nessa Records? Same deal. we are very thankful for those many who have committed their bankrolls, not just their ears, to loving this wonderful music, and, presenting new efforts of new (and veteran)artists.

thank you. i will be checking my library tomorrow. my Hasse arrived today

have ordered many of the CIMP releases by phone. often the boss answers the phone. the cadence people are a delight to deal with and they sure know their stuff. sadly, my subscription to cadence has lapsed and i miss that little black and white book every month.
