yeah man, I hope he's sitting on a cloud somewhere looking at those many satisfied and happy people walking out of that store, going home to listen to the same music he dug so much during his lifetime. (no smiley needed here I think)

I think you should at least have used this one and at least more than once at that.

thanks very much everyone and thanks for the cake Claude, it goes well with this talking bottle opener: click to listen

Off topic: Ubu, I'd propose you get this one while supplies last.

cool beans!

the book you mention was issued in English in 1975 excellent writer BTW, that Jost

I once went up in an elevator to the sound of Charlie Parker - weird shit. I danced my ass off in that small room, people who got on the elevator with me, got off again real soon. I wonder why ?

that was what my was intended to express, maybe I should have used or to express I don't understand BNs release schedule in this case.

I'll point it out again: for fans of mini-LP sleeves, the latest batches issued in digipac came in mini-LP sleeves here in Europe.

sorry I'm one day late. That will teach you not to have your birthday during the weekend! Hope you had a good one and that your family also enjoyed it!

yeah, either that or the "Sixth Sense" anyhoo: great album, that volume 3

Columbia & Legacy

(and his friends called him "The Mole" )

happy birthday both of you! you'll have to share the cake, but it's big enough it seems to me

I remember seeing this way back when. Hasn't this been posted before? If not, I'm sorry I didn't. I was as impressed as Jim. So either that makes two nutcases, or hell, I don't know...

Soul on Top - doesn't seem to be available as a single disc right now. That particular tracks is on the Ballads compilation. I was just gonna post that one but Sherlock beat me to it

aaah yes! I recently got a copy of the album Hi Fly he did with Karin Krog. I am ashamed to admit I haven't even listened to it yet. Is it any good? (easy to answer by listening I know, but maybe someone has something to add)

I had already gathered that from going back into the URL of the pic you posted. Hence my Orange and Poison Ivy attempts at a sophisticated joke. Too much so as it turns out...

we had presents last week when we visited my family in the Netherlands. That's one of the very few tiny spots on the globe where St. Nicholas is still celebrated. It's the original Santa so to speak, before he was commercially perverted and before he got dragged to Christmass by people who didn't want to bother to have two of these friendly nice guys like Nicolas and Jesus who with their unseen power bring presents to everyone. Anyhow, in the netherlands St Nicolas arrives in a boat from Spain where he lives. He brings a bunch of Zwarte Pieten (Moors) with him. The looks of the scene would probably make any US equal rights fighter drop dead from over-excitement. The guy has a white horse. He arrives some two weeks before his actual birthday, which is celebrated on the 5th or 6th of December. The kids are allowed to put their shoes out; in my time we still had a fire place, nowadays the kids go with the central heating system. The story is that the workers (the Moors) climb through the chimney and drop sweets and small present in there. Parents of course use this time to make their kids behave better. If you're not nice, you're not gonna get what you wished for. In less modern times (in my youth actually) there was the additional factor of the Roe (a bunch of twigs to flex on a children's behind) and the bag that the helpers use to carry their gifts around. Kids were told that if they weren't nice, they would be put in the bag and dragged off to Spain... The grand finale is a huge pile of gifts, preferably thrown into a fire place (no fire allowed!) or put in front of the door by a friendly neighbour. The kids love it. There are a lot of specific songs (probably the only song EVERY dutch person knows is Zie Ginds Komt de Stoomboot, quoted by Ornette on one of the Golden Circle albums BTW; its tune is based on an ancient Baltic folk song) and sweets and stuff like that. Anyhow, I had convinced the kids the doorbell and the racket wasn't me but one of the Saint's friendly helpers. We tried to have each kid take turns in opening their presents, but with a 7, a 4, and a 2 year old, that is NOT an easy task. All the excitement that has been building up for weeks comes pouring out the moments the presents arrive. Poor kids

??? you wanna turn into a hot dame everyday? or do you want to pull HER legs? I thought she might be family of Orange, sorta like Poison Ivy, but it turned out not to be the case.

now we're getting somewhere! A couple of years ago I found a copy of a TTech disk in my racks. I believe I had picked it up years before on the instigation of some (indeed) amateur musician friends. I must have liked it then or why would I have bought it? Anyhow, I put this stuff on while doing a paint job (painting my racks actually) and YECH!!! OUCH!!! put that shite off!!!

yeah either that or we really are living in a Matrix of sorts and every birthday is a software glitch...

the problem with digital distribution is that it is way more sensitive to piracy.

and here was I thinking my dyslexia had got the better of me again....
