relaying here items found on twitter related to jazz, breaking news, jazz, upcoming jazz, politics, photos, tales of the unusual has the makings of a living vital thread. if folks want, a jazz twitter thread might be an option. an item on the demise of the numbers of our jazz worshipping community would seem a fair place to begin--- BillHemmer Bill Hemmer God Bless, Mama Jazz, 89. My first job in radio was running the audio board for her jazz show, playing her records. cin.ci/t2hrYC45 minutes ago Favorite Retweet Reply Former WMUB-FM jazz host Phyllis "Mama Jazz" Campbell, one of the most popular personalities on the Miami University station, died Saturday in Eaton, Ohio. She was 89. Mama Jazz was a WMUB-FM host for 29 years. She started as in 1979 doing a two-hour weekly show that grew into a four-hour, five-days-a-week show in 1984. The show ended in 2008, when WMUB-FM dropped jazz in favor of evening news and talk (before the station was sold in 2009 to Cincinnati Public Radio). WMUB-FM had been playing reruns since December 2006, when at age 85 she stopped doing original broadcasts due chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (which impedes air flow) and emphysema. Here's a link to our 2003 profile of Mama Jazz. "Everyone had a story and aspecial memory of Mama. Once you heard that voice, you could never forget it," recalled Cleve Callison, former WMUB-FM general manager, in a comment to the Miami University News and Public Information Office. "She was feisty as all get-out, passionately devoted to jazz and unabashedly loyal to her legions of fans. I can't think of anyone I've met in radio who has seen that kind of devotion doubled back so much as the lady simply known everywhere as Mama. The song running through my head right now is 'Hello Central, Give Me Mama Jazz,' an adaptation of the classic 'Dr. Jazz' by Dave Greer and his band, one of Mama's favorite groups." Campbell also worked in other capacities at Miami from 1967 until she retired in 1994, first in the personnel and guidance department and later as secretary to the dean of the graduate school, according to the university. She was at Miami University 60 hours a week between her day job and radio shift, the university said. She graduated from Miami-Jacobs Junior College of Business in 1941 and attended Miami University. Prior to joining the staff at Miami, she was a bookkeeper for Ashman Heating Company in Eaton. Miami's announcement today said Mama Jazz was commended by the G.H.B. (George H. Buck) Jazz Foundation in New Orleans in 1993 for preserving the music of New Orleans jazz musician George Lewis "and his living pioneers of New Orleans jazz," by locating lost masters and having them digitally transferred to compact discs. Buck said: "You turned your back on the commercial promotion department of so called jazz labels, and decided to give the art form, the true art form, a chance to be heard by the public. As a result southern Ohio has been a much richer place to live and work." Campbell is survived by, her husband William, sons; Perry of Alabama and William "Corky" of Columbus; daughters Jane Campbell Gordon of Eaton and Gail Campbell of Oxford; a brother, grandchildren and other family members. Barnes Funeral Home in Eaton says services will be held at the convenience of the family at a later date. Tags: Mama Jazz, Phyllis Campbell, WMUB-FM

wow!!!!!!

thanks for the tips, folks. now i know i want one!!!!!

realizing that it, at home, it would be just a substitute for desktops and laptops, i so far, have held out. satellite radio doesn't interest me, nor does itunes. the increasing access of wifi hotspots suggests that it might be a good buy. i'm interested only in radios, modest in size, that would access most online stations. has anyone experience with wifi radio?

how humans can navigate through that way of living is a mystery to me; one day, we may discuss how the greek gladiators had their 'boys', as well, particularly before battle.

the puritans and catholics aren't necessarily to blame. that lifestyle has a possibility of working very well, and may yet again, but the clash of marketed sex with those concepts blows brains up.

to me, the recent major college sports scandals involving young men, or little boys, call for some clear thinking. this is a greater problem than one would first think. from my observations, it is endemic to this culture. it is widespread and built-in. we are a puritanical culture, religiously and morally, with a taboo on sex. a lot of this comes from the catholics, but more comes from the puritans. simultaneously, this culture, since the 1920s has been sold using basic freudian psychology, promulgated by a nephew of sigmund freud's, who picked up on freud's psychology early on and sold it to a bunch of marketers. we've been sold goods with sex attached to the goods, at the same time the sex is taboo, (any kind) has been for a very long time. this creates a tremendous frustration in this society. we need to rethink the situation entirely rather than throw a bunch of law books at (a few defendants), not the real problem. a few defendants aren't the problem; that's a reaction. this society has far too much reaction and not enough response to too many problems. we don't have enough people thinking through the problems, this one in particular. this problem will never be ameliorated, the problem of adult power over kids. there will always be adults taking advantage of children. did you hear about the 9 year old boy convicted of child molestation? he is required to have his picture posted in his juristiction for the rest of his life anywhere he moves. people will be notified that he is a child molestor. at age 8 he was caught playing with a 5 year old girl. the law went way beyond its limits here and ruined a kids life. he didn't have the power and sway of a bigtime athletic coach or powerful adult figure. marvin gaye http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1tN0ZKnRgs

of course, i put it in the wrong place. sorry. i agree about more than the slight possibility of outside causes. sorry. weren't those virusses of a few years back designed into the iranian computers, in much the way saddam's air defense computers were compromised, and perhaps our own?

By Yossi Melman and ReutersTags: Iran threat Iran nuclear An explosion rocked the western Iranian city of Isfahan on Monday, the semi-official Fars news agency reported, adding that the blast was heard in several parts of the city. According to reports, frightened residents called the fire department after the blast, forcing the city authorities to admit there had been an explosion. Original report of blast in Iranian city of Isfahan as appeared on Fars website, Nov. 28, 2011. Do you think Israel is behind recent 'mysterious' explosions in Iran? Join the discussion on our Facebook page Speaking with Fars news agency, Isfahan’s deputy mayor confirmed the reports and said the authorities are investigating the matter. However, after the incident was reported in Israel, the report was taken off the Fars website. It seems that city authorities and the Iranian government were embarrassed by the reports of a blasts, releasing contradictory versions of the alleged events. One example is a statement given by the same deputy mayor to the Mehr news agency, saying he had no reports of an explosion. In a photo from 2009, Iranian technicians work at a facility producing uranium fuel for a planned heavy-water nuclear reactor, just outside the city of Isfahan. Photo by: APAnother confirmation came from the head of the city's judiciary, who said an explosion-like sound was heard. Meanwhile, the Mehr news agency reported there has been a blast at a petrol station near the city. Another report pointed to a training accident. The reported incident occurred about two weeks after Gen. Hasan Tehrani Moghaddam was killed together with 20 other Guard members Nov. 12 at a military site outside Bidganeh village, 40 kilometers southwest of Tehran. The Revolutionary Guard said the accidental explosion occurred while military personnel were transporting munitions. It should be noted that Iran operates a uranium conversion plant near Isfahan, one with an important function in the chain of Iran's nuclear program. It first went into operation in 2004, taking uranium from mines and producing uranium fluoride gas, which then feeds the centrifuges that enrich the uranium. Since 2004, thousands of kilograms of uranium flouride gas were stockpiled at Isfahan and subsequently sent to the enrichment plant in Natanz. North Korea supplying Syria, Iran with prohibited nuclear technology, report says IDF official: Iran explosion may delay Tehran's missile development track Iran insists Israel not behind blast that killed missile expert Earlier Monday, a top Israeli security official said that the recent explosion that rocked an Iranian missile base near Tehran could delay or stop further Iranian surface-to-surface missile development. The official added, however that the Iranian nuclear program was continuing to gain ground, despite considerable international pressure and attempts to destabilize the Iranian regime.

I was also in Catholic grammar school(2nd grade). The nuns stopped classes and we prayed. Never saw them so sad. Not only was he the first Catholic president, but my neighborhood was also largely Irish-Italian, so a president of Irish heritage was particularly special. second graders rarely know such grief. they, right or wrong, if possible, are shielded. thx for sharing.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15871058?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter US country duo Sugarland have been named in legal action launched by those involved in a fatal stage collapse at Indiana's State Fair in August. Families of four people killed and 44 survivors are suing the band, stage riggers and show producers, citing lack of reasonable care in its organisation. Sugarland had not taken to the stage when the tragedy occured. Seven people died when a freak gust of wind caused the structure to collapse onto fans during the event. Mario Massillamany, representing of a number of law firms who filed the claim at an Indianapolis court, said Sugarland had the final say on whether their performance would be cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. They also contend that the band were ultimately responsible for lighting and other equipment at the scene. "This tragedy could have been prevented if the responsible parties had been concerned about the concert-goers that night," he said. The undisclosed claim for damages will help to cover medical bills and other expenses, it was added. Relief fund Sugarland's publicist has said no comment will be made about the legal action. They have been named in two other separate claims by victims of the stage collapse. In October, Sugarland played a free concert in Indianapolis, a short distance away from the site of the tragedy. They asked the audience to donate to a relief fund for the victims, which has already distributed thousands of dollars in assistance.

"my favorite Motian recording is either the trio with Haden and Bley from Montreal from 1989" agree-the trio had an edge that night and drained their considerable souls.

From Bill Frisell: "No words for what I am feeling now. Music is good. Paul Motian was a MUSICIAN. He taught me, brought me up. Pointed the way. Showed me things I never could have imagined. Led me to places of extraordinary beauty. Indescribable. Paul never let up for one second. Raising it up. Always. No compromise. Listen to the MUSIC." Bill Frisell

http://www.vosizneias.com/95560/2011/11/23/aircraft-crashes-into-mountain-east-of-phoenix/ Apache Junction, AZ - Authorities say an aircraft has crashed in the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix but they don’t yet know what kind of plane it is. Advertisement: A Pinal County spokeswoman says 911 calls began coming in around 6:30 p.m. Friday about an explosion near the Lost Dutchman Mine Park in the Apache Junction area. Sheriff’s officials confirmed that some type of plane had crashed, and rescue crews were on their way to the crash site in rugged terrain near the peak of a mountain. Video on Phoenix-area television stations shows several fires burning on the mountainside. An FAA spokesman says there are no immediate reports of any missing commercial aircraft.
