Agreed! She taught in the Highline School District, which borders my West Seattle Neighborhood. Living in Seattle I imagine I've gotten a little extra coverage of this than those outside the area. Let me tell ya’, this woman is crazy – plain and simple. She’s a repeat child molester and she’ll do it again if given the chance. I'm quite shocked that anyone would try to defend her or justify her behavior. You should see some pictures of this boy when he was 12. He looked like a pre-pubescent child. She needs psychiatric care and should stay away from children, PERIOD.

Amen! btw, where can I find those 70's sessions (especially the ones with the improvised pieces)?

Izaak Mills, AKA Mr. Vitamin A. His group FLOSS has a new disc out on Monktail Records. He's a bad mutha - SHUT YO MOUTH! I'm just talkin' 'bout Mr. Vitamin A.

We all know what the real deal is.... I smoked a lot of this stuff as a teenager and I grew like a weed. When I was about 19 I stopped smoking hash and started doing LSD, and whadiyano, I haven't grown an inch since.

I never heard that before.

I agree 100%!!! And I'm a drummer.

Yoko's awesome!

I just don't want to see this thread slip away Up you mighty thread!

Can I invite a videographer to document this shin-dig?

Greatest record ever made! With the exception of this one of course: But in all seriousness, Jackie is one of my all time favorites. His tone is da bomb! (as the kids like to say)

In my opinion, the DH Qt. hasn't made an exciting album since 'Jumpin' In' in 83'. That band was a motherfucker! Julian Preister, Kenny Wheeler, Steve Coleman, and Steve Ellington...WOW! The group has put out very well executed and technically impressive rcords since then, but to my ears somehow something is missing.

I'm gonna try and make it. Sounds good!

Congrats Dave, I can't wait to hear the show....kinda got a Freedom Thing goin' on doncha? I hear that! Happy Independence Day!!!

Hey hey it's the Monkees!

Thanks Joe, and if you guys ever are thinking of coming to Seattle, let me know and I'll try to help you find the proper venue. I'm sure Mr. Wilke would be glad to see you. -john

Yes, thanks Dan. I had read this last week but hadn’t gotten around to posting it. I think it does a nice job of summing the CD up in as few words as possible. I’m proud of this CD, but the next one is going to turn some serious heads. We added a new trumpet player named Samantha Boshnak. She studied with Erica Lindsay and Baikida Carroll in NY and she is a fine soloist and fabulous composer. We plan on recording in August, with our second CD out in the Spring of 05’.

No I don't. I should pick it up. I think Wizard is my fav too....more later.

I been listening to some of my old Todd Rundgren records of late (Runt, The Ballad of Todd Rundgren, Something/Anything?, A Wizard, a True Star and Todd) and I must admit, I love his songs. He's a great guitar player, producer, singer and all, but his tunes are just sweet, catchy, and thoroughly life affirming. He grew up in the same neiborhood as I did (Upper Darby PA just outside of Philly) albeit 15 years before me. His more ballady tunes definitely have that Philly Sound (early Hall and Oats, the O'Jays, etc.), but he infuses them with a white boy, british invasion kind of sensibility. I really dig his Utopia Prog-rock stuff too. Anyone else here a Todd Rundgren fan?

I missed this one.... I could have sworn that it was a woman.

There is a board member here with the last name of Seman...I will not reveal who. Care to step forward Mr. Seman?

I'm thinking late June early July.

Luckily my wife's father does tile for a living, and a good friend of mine is a carpenter. They say they'll be helping with the house...we'll see. Shit, I'll do the work if they'll just show me how.

Don't worry, I'll make room.

Thanks Philly, This house will need some work, but I'm itchin' to get started. I never really cared too much about keeping up the rentals I've lived in. But now that it's mine I'm really in to it. Multiple trips to Home Depot, reading home repair books, checking out home repair web sites. When I take a walk I notice other peoples houses and I say, "oh that's nice, ohhh, good idea I should do that, etc. It's weird. Glad you liked the Reptet, we go back into the studio in August. My other group Non Grata has its second disc coming out in the fall. catesta, With the earthquake threat around these parts, brick house aren't very common or sought after. But I love the look of old brick homes. What year was your house built?
