The links are dead, unfortunately.

I just checked what I was able to get. Some odds and ends, but at least a couple of thousands of threads. At least I've got such classics as 'eBay Craziness - redux' and the Lou Donaldson call threads. And, yeah, the Mobley Korner seems to be there too. Has anyone else been saving anything from the BNBB?

It bothers me that the last thing (ever?) posted was some stupid comments from 'l p'. I was into the process of backing up all the threads, but was in no way finished. I assume they are now all gone for ever. Damn.

A friend recently played me Oscar's 1979 album for Pablo, 'Night Child'. It has the novelty of Oscar playing the Fender Rhodes, something I think he never did again. Interestingly, he seems to play a bit differently, using more sustained chords, which I know from my own experience can be fun doing if you normally play acoustic piano. As a whole, it's not by far one of his best albums. But at least I never heard anyone play the Fender Rhodes that fast...

As evident on another thread, I'm here now too! Is it just my imagination, or are there more posts than ever at the BNBB both here and at the AAJ forums now? I won't have time to check multiple forums for a while as I'm entering a busy period up to my graduation, so I'll try to stay here for now. But there seems to be a couple of old-timers still just posting at AAJ.

Thanks!! Allthough this means you've made the upcoming 'Ask Hans' forum obsolete!

The BNBB demise came at the same time as I went into a much more busy phase in my life, as I'm into my last year of law school, and online activities have been forced to a lower level. But, here I am, and I'm leaning more towards this site than AAJ right now. If there's somewhat less activity over here at the moment, it suits me fine because then I'll be able to stay updated at all with the dicussions. But Pharoahrock definitely affected my choice as well. Who from the BNBB are we still missing over here? Ed Swinnich, Chris Albertson, Joe... and quite a few more. Hope they'll show up. Great job, B-3er!!!
