That list never fails to make me smile. I posted it on the BNBB one time, and also here last year, on the thread about figuring out your blues name. -Erik (a.k.a. ol' Skinny Eyes Parker)

They did as of January, I'm fairly certain they haven't changed their setup...

one beer please! Now if you could change it to "Organissimo Rocks!", I think we've got a contendah for their next album cover.

Here's a few off the top of my head.... Phil Collins - Against All Odds Phil Collins - Another Day in Paradise Phil Collins - I Wish it would Rain Down Phil Collins - Do You Remember Phil Collins - Don't Lose My Number Phil Collins - Something Happened on the Way to Heaven Phil Collins - Groovy Kind of Love Phil Collins - Both Sides of the Story Phil Collins - True Colors Phil Collins - You'll Be in my Heart Phil Collins - One More Night Hmmmm....I think there might be a pattern here, but I can't quite put my finger on it

I don't have it yet, but have read some good reviews here and there. There's some interesting comments about Douglas in this thread... By the way, you're very lucky you have a radio station in your area that plays this kind of music!! My choices seem to be classic rock, top 40 (or whatever it's called these days), or tejano

"Tavi Tankar"? ...hopefully this isn't too obscure of an SNL reference for most of us??

Clem - On a side note, Peggy Lee's corpse appreciates your interest in any royalty fees that may be due to her estate... Peggy Lee (aka Norma D. Egstrom) 5/26/1920 - 1/21/2002

Just noticed the new Dave Douglas, "Strange Liberation" with Uri Caine & Bill Frisell, on the website. edit - they also added some of Pat Metheny's old ECM titles as well, if anyone's looking for 'em...

Norah Jones' father? ...the sarcasm's baked in, dontcha know?

I woke up to a huge thunderstorm and 10" inches of rain on Sunday morning. The street had about 2' of standing water in it until about 2:00 pm, so I couldn't even leave to go get the newspaper! There were alot of folks who thought they could get through the waters, only to stall their cars, and have to leave them until later in the day. Bet they won't try that again!

I can see it now, smack dab in the heart of KC: "Rooster Ties Fabulous Used Vinyl and CD Emporium" Note - pretend this isn't a picture of couw in his listening room with his puny television set, but some of the inventory in Rooster's store

I don't agree with the sentiments that either of you seem to be stating in your posts. If all of the draftees starting having Manning's attitude, then I think it would spell doom for the NFL, which in my opinion is the best professional sports league in the U.S. Way too many athletes in the NFL (and other sports as well) think they're better than the team. It's all about me, me, me. I've got way more respect for the guys with the blue-collar attitudes, even when they're collecting million dollar paychecks. The guys who take less money to stay with a team they've played for, the guys who accept where they've been drafted and play as best they can. The guys that go to Cincinnati or apparently San Diego nowadays, or Jacksonville.

I agree that the Giants gave up too much for Manning, who is going to have a hard time living up to expectations, I think. Plus Manning's attitude about the Chargers will hurt him, at least for a while, in the eyes of many fans. Looks like a selfish, spoiled brat who thinks he's above the rules to me. Rivers and Big Ben should be more effective than Manning, with less pressure on them to be superstars right from the start. I can't figure out the Cowboys' draft. To have their choice of the two best running backs available - Jackson or Kevin Jones - and trade away the pick for some lower round picks, plus a #1 next year makes no sense to me. In effect they just postponed their #1 pick this year until next, and gained a couple of lower round picks. I think it was a mistake. Gotta hope that Julius Jones turns out to be a great running back, and that they have a great first round next year, with two picks. Buffalo has a tough schedule this year, so their first rounder should be a top 10 pick at least.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I've always seen my life as divided into two parts - before kids and after. And I wouldn't ever wish to go back to the pre-kid era. I never knew my heart could feel so much love for someone else! Welcome to the world, Zora!! I think she'd be a great honorary mascot for this bulletin board!

Claude - Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I missed your comments in that thread somehow. If this edition doesn't have the mechanical whirling noise that Golden Arm mentioned, then I'm going to probably pick it up. Need the extra 16 tracks! -Erik

a little Freudian slip of the keys, I assume?

JGThomas - Thanks for responding. Hope I can make it up to Austin and meet you at the show. I'll let you know if my plans work out. It would be great to see Johnny E's show on Friday night as well - wonder if I could drag my 6 year old out with me to see Reptet

I noticed the '04 remaster of "ASCENSEUR POUR L'ECHAFAUD" on that list. Anyone know if this is the long version or the short version of this material? I'm trying to decide whether to replace my recent Jazz in Paris version, which is the short one. And I'm curious about the echo/no echo thing as well, and whether this is the same (bad?) mastering as the recent Japanese issue, as mentioned by the Man with the Golden Gun on this thread. Thanks, Erik

According to AMG, the soundtrack to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is similar to Black Oak Arkansas' High on the Hog... Any other strange connections you've noticed on AMG??

I may have to take a trip up to Austin that weekend. Any other Organissimo's thinking about attending?

Maxwell's Silver Hammer anyone? I have days where it's ok, but other times where it drives me crazy. And everytime I hear it I see Steve Martin from that campy Sgt. Pepper movie that had the Bee Gees & Frampton in it...

I am expecting your divided thumb to resemble this: edit - you got my first response before I deleted it

Ok, ok, since the forthcoming answer has piqued my curiosity sufficiently: How exactly does couw divide his thumb for his other, lesser recommendations?

How exactly do you divide your thumb for other, lesser, recommendations??

Against my own advice, I'll provide a stupid answer Morton was called Jelly Roll because of his ability to make the piano keys "roll" like Jelly. That was the deal. He played so fast, it made the keys roll like jelly because it... I don't know, it just couldn't take the speed of his fingers. Art Tatum used to do it without the jelly-rolling thing, and played beautiful. But I don't think he ever got the accolades that Morton did, mainly because Jelly Roll Morton was the first one. Anyway, I know alot about that kind of music, and I admire those players.
