  1. LINK What: Catherine Russell is one of America's most treasured singers. Her jazz and blues renditions reach into the heart of the Great American Songbook. Russell and her quartet are headed from New York City to the 2012 Monterey Jazz Festival (next weekend), and she's making a stop in Sacramento for a show Friday at Harlow's.
  2. THX, I'M OFF TO KROGER OR WALMART AFTER THE FIRST NFL GAME
  3. i have a shopping list for tomorrow, thanks to 2 fine and respected organissimo gentlemen. 2 months ago i was running hard and jumping rope and may not be too far gone. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
  4. when there are 4 sixteen team major conferences, the ncaa will be out of the picture.
  5. there are numerous athletes from notre dame prep playing major college athletics.
  6. the really great singers, and there are and were precious few, are in control. her genuine reverence and respect for the wonderful old cats and old ways is so special....
  7. thank you, don, for relating your experience; i will heed your wise counsel. it is so gratifying to hear of your ultra-successful knee replacements. should the same rule of thumb perhaps be applied to nonreplacement knee surgery?
  8. for the first time in my life, i've a physical problem time won't heal. my left knee, 2 months ago, started hurting bad. 1 month before that i was running and jumping room and was made of iron, or so i thought. exercise or rest, ice or heat-the pain won't go away. i know where this can lead. before she died, my late went the frightful road of 2 total knee replacements. 2 months ago, when the knee was much better, my family doctor took a look and said it was osteo, and suggested weight loss and warm towels. being mobile was one of the biggest freedoms in my life, and i'm not ready to give it up, yet. are there suggestions for treatment, or should i just trade the knee in?
  9. LINK "In making the transition from sidewoman to bandleader, Russell says the challenge wasn't taking on business responsibilities so much as getting used to being the center of attention. "I had been encouraged to do my own thing for a long time," Russell says. "The first few gigs I did in 2005 I thought, 'What have I done? Now my name is on the ticket. They look at you when you sing. They look at you when you don't sing!' It was terrifying.""
  10. after the summer, after the rain
  11. THAT DENTIST WOULD IMPOUND MY HEAD, AND I HAVEN'T FUNDS FOR DENTURES.
  12. a good reason to hear 2 of my favorite recordings in this world, song for and out of the mist. for a time in the 90s, mr. jarman had put his horn away. we are richly blessed that it did not stay so.
  13. the recent nfl bountygate decision isn't what it seems. bountygate decision isn't what it seems "Note that this does not preclude the Commissioner from disciplining the players, even to the extent that they were previously punished. In fact, it opens up a new avenue of discipline for the League, based on the violation of the compensation provision. The players, who were immediately reinstated, may wish that they were subject only to the Commissioner’s discipline by the time this is all over. In any event, it provides an interesting window into the various and fine demarcations drawn when assessing the language of a collective bargaining agreement and its application to employees in a disciplinary environment."
  14. OFTEN, THOSE RANDOM SELECTIONS WORK WONDERS, BUT I NEVER USE THEM. ABOUT ONCE A WEEK I MAKE A 4 HOUR SPOTIFY LIST, RECORD IT AND MAKE AN MP3 FILE. MAKES FOR JOLLY GOOD LISTENING. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

  18. 2 splendid comments (thanks), but the cage comment was hilarious, his ode to silence notwithstanding. cage never got around to the silence blues. i hope someone does....
  19. nina passed away the same day as my wife, in 2003. there are no reasonable approximations of either to me. just let them be.
  20. when fred rips into one of those lovely broadway show tunes, i really perk up. when he wanders into leaves of grass, i doze off in about 2 seconds.
  21. now, if they can just have michel legrande write the score................. the incomparable nina, and her art, should never be defamed.....................
  22. those pregnant spaces between notes in a paul bley, bill evans, motian, or a red garland trio are prime examples, to me, of one of the most beautiful parts of music, to let the harmonics of a drum or piano or bass "visible." folks who 'pound' a piano or horn ceaselessly without catching the waves are missing a major part of the richness of the music, the silence.
