i'm not sure if he is the best player, but he is the most awesome athlete to ever play the game, with the possible exception of the young big dipper.

jeanie n showbarto1940s Show! Ok, we’re excited about a brand new (although obviously nostalgic) project we’ve been working on which is going to be debuted at The Pheasantry, King’s Road, Chelsea on the 22nd March! Entitled “A Nightingale Sang”; it’s going to sound and look totally authentic – my band will feature a string section plus the fabulous Ed Benstead on trumpet and flugelhorn, also Joe Bickerstaff on piano, Jason Simpson on double bass and Sophie Alloway on drums. We will be playing hits by artists as diverse as Vera Lynn, Edmundo Ros, Duke Ellington and Dizzy Gillespie. The venue is beautiful and dramatic with an almost art deco style, but it only seats 90 people so please make sure you book in advance on 0845 6027 017 tickets are a very reasonable £15. Show Time 8:30pm / Doors Open 7:00pm

the sudden loss of a dear friend or loved one is one of life's mysteries to which there is no answer. the tears and heartaches will most surely be replaced by more urgent ones. may fond memories sustain and comfort you, my friend. yesterday was a not dissimilar day for myself. "this day began with a funeral for a spirit too much alive to now be stone.... a block away and minutes later, i gazed upon the majesty and beauty of a quarter hour old baby boy, and wondered on his future. as i struggle with my onrushing mortality, somewhere between those endpoints, i ponder mysteries i cannot begin to deal with or understand."

this is a nearby marsh last july. it's now a few feet underwater. we've had a rainy near snowless winter. i've shovelled snow perhaps 3 times. the other times i used a light broom. the trees in the background are now bare of leaves.

this day

giuseppi logan project About this project Giuseppi Logan was a contemporary of Albert Ayler, John Coltrane and Pharaoh Sanders. An accomplished sax player, as well as clarinet, flute and piano player, Giuseppi became known for his free form compositional genius. Having studied at the New England Conservatory, in the sixties Logan was hailed as one of the bright lights of free jazz. In the seventies, Giuseppi disappeared from view and remained lost to the music world for over 30 years. Around 2009 Giuseppi was found playing for change in Tompkins Square Park and assistance was found to get him housing. At the same time I was returning to my roots as a jazz musician and getting deeply into free-form jazz guitar. As I heard Giuseppi’s story and that he still loved to play, I recognized a rare opportunity to work with a gigantic talent. Through friends and contacts, we were able to connect and after one failed attempt that saw Giuseppi hospitalized for months we met up with Cooper Moore and Larry Roland in Manhattan for a full day of recording. The highlights of the session are captured in the Giuseppe Logan Project, with 3 new original compositions and Giuseppi’s unique twist on 3 classic jazz tunes.

thx for the enlightened remarks. i'm going through some serious arm nerve pain the last 2 weeks;i drink too much cola.

from the book of wiki--- 7 Up is a brand of a lemon-lime flavored non-caffeinated soft drink. The rights to the brand are held by Dr Pepper Snapple Group in the United States, and PepsiCo (or its licensees) in the rest of the world, including Puerto Rico, where the concentrate is manufactured at the Pepsi facility in Cidra. The 7 Up logo includes a red spot between the '7' and 'Up'; this red spot has been animated and used as a mascot for the brand as Cool Spot.

diet coke wreaks----i refuse..............

are you a coke head? From a recent, Coca-Cola corporate presentation. The average human drinks 92 Coke products a year. In the US, that number is 403. The point of the chart, from a corporate strategy, was to point out how "under-coked" the emerging word is. In China, Coke consumption is just 38 drinks per year per person! Coca-Cola Just so you realize, Coca-Cola is a lot more than Coke. Here's a look at just their $1 billion brands. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnUKurl7Fog Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/coca-cola-consumption-per-capita-2012-2#ixzz1ncFhIrXJ list of coca cola products: coca cola product list

out of the past recordsA collector of vintage vinyl knows there are two sides to every story. And the stories are plentiful, amusing and inspiring at Out of the Past Records, 4407-09 W. Madison, owned and operated by Charlie Joe and Marie Henderson. West Garfield Park residents since 1963, the Hendersons are the neighborhood’s power couple — the Berry Gordy and Diana Ross who never left. Part of the great Southern post-war migration, they’ve witnessed a panaroma of social change. They survived the 1968 West Side riots and the subsequent community upheavals. They survived a 1977 arson in a previous West Madison Street location. They survived a flood last year that left more than four feet of water in their store’s basement. They have survived the economic downspin around their current space, which they have occupied since 1986. (article continues)
