Blue Train

Barbara Eden Larry Hagman Mary Martin

Jane Goodall (it was her 79th birthday yesterday.) Dian Fossey Birutė Galdikas

Unfortunately, Kevin Whitehead is wrong. Beside the announcer mentioning he has Alzheimer's and it was probably his last performance there. http://www.londonjazznews.com/2013/02/review-icp-orchestra-at-vortex.html http://m.allaboutjazz.com/article.php?id=43942&pg=2 This one also mentions he had a brain hemorrhage some years before the onset of Alzheimer's. http://drimble.nl/regio/zuid-holland/drechtsteden/11131157/misha-mengelberg-treedt-op-in-alzheimer-cafe.html I do agree without him they'er still a great band. Maybe Steve Beresford will replace him in the U.S. like he did for the 2nd set of the above.

I found something that sheds light on things. I couldn't make this peformance. Misha has Alzheimer's. He plays the first set on this. There is also an interivew with Evan Parker and Han Bennink beforhand. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01rl306 From the sound of it. This tour will probably be the last time to see Misha performing.

Steve: You sure about Misha? I don't see anything on their website and the Litefield site still lists him being involved. http://www.littlefieldnyc.com/event/240385-instant-composers-pool-icp-brooklyn/ The full itinerary for the U.S. Tuesday, April 2 University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, CO 7.30 pm 719-255-4065 http://www.uccs.edu/~vapa Wednesday, April 3 Seattle Art Museum, 1300 First Avenue Seattle, WA 8:00 p.m. 800-838-3006; http://www.earshot.org/Events/spring.html Thursday, April 4 Duende, 468 19th Street Oakland, CA 9:00 p.m. 510-893-0174; http://duendeoakland.com Friday, April 5 The Reedemer Lutheran Church, .

Posted this back on Dec. 6th. Once again taking into account the idiotic amount other teams have been throwing around...even for catchers. "WTF? are they going to have to pay Clayton Kershaw after the monopoly money they're throwing around?"

    You're welcome. Let me know what you think of the Inrabagon & Ullman.

To give you and idea just how incompetent what passes as journialsim is today. He was 72, 79, and 82 when he died. Didn't realize how many things I have involving him as an engineer. Including Ole Coltrane. Be well! P.S. He was 79.

So everyone that used to go to Green Mill, Empty Bottle, or for that matter Velvet Lounge are now going to the Hideout and Elastic. I don't agree about the Green Mill. I went through several months of calenders, which is why I made the comment I made. Several good performances at the Hideout and Elastic that I won't be able to make for anyone interested. With the talk about Roscoe Mitchell in Houston and sorry if this a repost. Surround Sound: Prairie and Beyond From cities to environmental ecosystems to musical notes, how things fit together and influence one another to shape patterns and systems is a topic of limitless discussion and a site of continuous innovation. This panel convenes some extraordinary thinkers across discipline to consider ideas such as organizing sound, planning dynamic spaces and innovative environments, improvising and self-organizing systems, and convening natural and manipulated environments. Thursday, April 18 6:00 pm-8:00 pm Panelists: Roscoe Mitchell, Ken Vandermark, Pamela Jennings Moderator: Dieter Roelstraete Location: Chicago Cultural Center, Claudia Cassidy Theater

Last night, it was Mitsuko Uchida dropping Mozart. Tonight it was supposed to be Sonny Rollins. Thurston Moore's Chelsea Light Moving Speaking of Chicago. What exactly happened to Green Mill and Empty Bottle? P.S. Keeping in mind I there were no problems the first 7 times. Last three Sonny Rollins performances we had tickets for. 1. Took my fiancee to see him for the first time in Detroit. It was our first time in Detroit. I broke my foot while running the next morning. I needed surgery for the first time in my life. 2. Fiancee was sick and we gave our tickets in the UK away. 3. A respiratory illness cancelled tonight. There might be a hint in there for us and Sonny Rollins.

Which deal is worse. Not counting the option years. 6-year contract to a pitcher who is 30. 8-year contract to a catcher who is 26 Of course, in a different sport....the Cowboys just gave a 33-year-old QB who always finds a way to lose....$55 million guaranteed.

You're welcome.

Just so you know. I have ordered many things in the past from them. Never had a problem.

For those who haven't heard about the Not Two label before. http://www.nottwo.com/Wytwornie.php?W=0

While trying to figure out which has the cheapest overall price for the EU.....discovered Jazz Messengers only has 6 copies. Other options. http://www.productsfrompoland.com/servlet/Detail?no=1278 http://www.instantjazz.com/shoppingcart.php

Latest update on his facebook. "Sonny begins rehearsing a new group next month, in preparation for his first 2013 concert, on June 22nd at the Blanche M. Touhill Performing Arts Center in St. Louis."

This was posted on his facebook back on March 6th. No updates on his health since. Also, as of right now the only performance scheduled on his site is on June 22nd. "A Message from Sonny Rollins Ive come up with a respiratory problem, and I have to cancel some upcoming shows. My doctor has given me the green light for June. Please check my web site for my new dates. Meanwhile, Im busy working on my next CD, Road Shows, vol. 3. Many thanks, Sonny"

Speaking of Shipp. Here is his take on Braxton. http://www.furious.com/perfect/matthewshipp2.html

The Woody Allen thing is creepy on several levels of creepy. Here is Mia retweeting their only bilogocal child's tweet on Father's Day. https://twitter.com/MiaFarrow/status/214388860057157633

You have to remember this places quoting system.

Yes, of course I do. I was responding to the question about Ozzy. I went can't see the wood for the trees. FTW, indeed.

  FTW!!! Blue Train, have you heard Ozzy's speaking voice?   Before or after all the drugs, booze, bats and ants?

Has anyone heard Adele's speaking voice? It's like night and day. She has a serious cockney accent when speaking. Is Monday supposed to be Monday Michiru? What do you recommend from Muldrow and Hussein?
