there are 4 days a year when our ymca is closed and this is my day off from hitting the machines hard. that means i enjoyed several beers before breakfast. i love these opposite days. depending on what kind of beer it was i may have covered all the major food groups with just one pint. guinness is even suggested for good breast milk development, but i've been drinking it for years and haven't started lactating yet. :party: :party:

My link IMPD: Naked man declares 'opposite day' Updated: Thursday, 05 Apr 2012, 4:37 PM EDT Published : Wednesday, 04 Apr 2012, 11:48 AM EDT INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A naked man in a public area told police he was nude for “opposite day,” according to an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department report. Several people reported seeing the man wandering Broad Ripple without clothing. ------------------- The comic strip Non Sequitur ran a week's worth of cartoons on "opposite day" about a week ago. It all started when Danae put the opposite shoe on first in the morning than the one she usually put on first. http://www.gocomics.com/nonsequitur/2012/03/26 http://www.gocomics.com/nonsequitur/2012/03/27 http://www.gocomics.com/nonsequitur/2012/03/28 http://www.gocomics.com/nonsequitur/2012/03/29 http://www.gocomics.com/nonsequitur/2012/03/30

My link Waltham House Waltham Cross March 24. 1861 My dearest Miss Dorothea Sankey My affectionate & most excellent wife is as you are aware still living—and I am proud to say her health is good.

Buy your tickets here! Submitted by Thuto Durkac Somo on Tue, 3 Apr 2012, 1:18pm Tune in on April 7 to WKCR 89.9 FM for a full day of Billie Holiday's music. Born in 1915 Baltimore, Holiday grew up during the prominence of Jazz legends Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, and the growth of Swing Jazz. With a haunting voice at once filled with Jazz cool and melancholy, Billie Holiday was beautiful in her music, and exemplified the harsh state of racial inequality, and misogyny.

david s. ware is apparently well and performing after his kidney transplant. i had a spirited bar discussion last night where a friend pointed out that everyone in the organ donor daisy chain profits but the donor and family. several organ donors have had pauper's funerals.....

lowe hath no equal in his passionate disarming stewardship of the music and the precious souls who make it. let us drink a toast to our dear friend allen.....

that mets veteran knuckle ball pitcher is one incredible special human being. there is a fine new book about him just out.

just in time delivery as a fine method of inventory and cost control. the intricate remarkable efficient american delivery system has been considered a given by myself and the rest of us. maybe just in time delivery isn't a given. My link Most Americans take for granted the intricate systems that make it possible for us to engage in seemingly mundane day to day tasks like filling up our gas tanks, loading up our shopping carts at the local grocery store, obtaining necessary medications, and even pouring ourselves a clean glass of water. When we wake up each morning we just expect that all of these things will work today the same way they worked yesterday. Very few have considered the complexity involved in the underlying infrastructure that keeps goods, services and commerce in America flowing. Fewer still have ever spent the time to contemplate the fragility of these systems or the consequences on food, water, health care, the financial system, and the economy if they are interrupted. A report prepared for legislators and business leaders by the American Trucking Associations highlights just how critical our just-in-time inventory and delivery systems are, and assesses the impact on the general population in the event of an emergency or incident of national significance that disrupts the truck transportation systems which are responsible for carrying some ten billion tons of commodities and supplies across the United States each year. A shut down of truck operations as a result of elevated threat levels, terrorist attacks, or pandemics would, according to the report, have “a swift and devastating impact on the food, healthcare, transportation, waste removal, retail, manufacturing, and financial sectors.” (complete article with link)

Yes. There aren't many tunes I dislike in themselves - 'Misty', 'Feelings' etc aside. But there are some I could do with a break from due to their constantly being played - not necessarily a problem in the tunes themselves. But that weariness can be overcome by an inspiring performance. Groove Holmes has done super versons of those two. MG There's a live Bill Frisell CD where he starts to play one of them and stops. Someone in the audience sniggers and Frisell barks something to the effect of 'What?' I don't much like 'My Ship'....but I like the version on 'Miles Ahead', mainly because of the Evans arrangement of the orchestra. a spacious nine minute bob brookmeyer orchestral arrangement, with bob soloing, on the tomato label with german vocalist helen schneider(right as the rain) is my favorite. the recording includes superb arrangements by bob b. and helen schneider.

JS on a roll- he comes by his screen name honestly. :tophat: :tophat:

isn't that a porn shop chain??? :rolleyes: consumers overwhelming dislike ringing up their own groceries, but in 10 years, we will all be doing it, all the time.

My link Bacteria are everywhere and in much larger amounts than you may realize. A new study looks at how much a lone human presence affects the level of indoor biological aerosols and the results may be shocking to some. A person’s mere presence in a room can add 37 million bacteria to the air every hour — material largely left behind by previous occupants and stirred up from the floor — according to new research by Yale University engineers. “We live in this microbial soup, and a big ingredient is our own microorganisms,” said Jordan Peccia, associate professor of environmental engineering at Yale and the principal investigator of a study recently published online in the journal Indoor Air. “Mostly people are re-suspending what’s been deposited before. The floor dust turns out to be the major source of the bacteria that we breathe.”-item continues with link

My link It's not just Donald Trump who's yelling "You're fired!" Consumer Reports, in its May issue, says a third of its subscribers fired their supermarket in the past year. In an article titled "Best & Worst Supermarkets," some 24,200 readers get a chance to vent about 42,700 shopping experiences. More than half say they have at least one complaint about their current store, and almost a third have two or more. The biggest complaints, says project editor Tod Marks, include markets setting their prices too high (cited by 43 percent of shoppers as their reason for firing a store), not having enough checkouts open (cited by 27 percent), having rude employees (17 percent), or not having advertised specials in stock. Inept bagging, scanner overcharges and missing price tags round out the gripes.

I really dig the Helen Merrill/Dick Katz version of Lonely Woman. i'm lucky enough to own the katz merrill. there is a stunning early to mid 1960s version of lonely woman with a denny zeitlin-charlie haden-(i forget the drummer)- trio(my shining hour), if you can find it. the whole recording is a study in understated intelligent eloquence. a fresher less tired trio version of quiet now is on the same recording. 8 wilkerson's 8 bold souls recorded a stunning version of lonely woman with wilkerson offering a blistering alto solo.

being nearly 70, surely they won't want any of my old junky rusty failing parts, except for perhaps quartering me as a cadaver. i continue to donate :rolleyes: blood every 6 weeks, however.

that whole jobim-getz-clare fischer-gilberto brazilian 60s scene blows big time(i hated it then); girl from ipanima and how insensitive are unbearable.

i dearly love paul and dave, but if i hear TAKE 5 one more time..... standards are like women. there comes a point where they are just worn out. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

bingo!!!!! i don't recall hearing a jazz version.....

fakebook standards, i s'pose....... alfie is tedious. that's high on my list, as well.

i've never ever :blush: :blush: been able to hack jitterburg waltz in any incarnation, including the one with woody shaw i'm now hearing.

My link In some jazz quarters, playing open or ‘free’ is still considered to be a cop-out, as if it’s easier somehow than playing changes. But playing good music has everything to do with imagination, creativity, experience and attitude and nothing to do with the format you choose to express yourself in. Playing open is hard – to do it well and make good music you have to be listening all the time and creating your own structures in real time. When you’re playing changes (which is not easy either . . . ) you at least have the song form as a prefabricated structure to base your improvisations on – with open playing those structures have to be put together on the spot.
