Well, I never used it to remove promo labels, but I have used it to take many-a price tag off used LP jackets. Simple run a flame over a small portion of the stick (no too much - just a few passes by with the lighter) then slowly peel that section off. Do it again on another small section, repeat as necessary till sticker is removed. The heat temporarily melts the glue underneath the sticker and allows you about 15 seconds to peel without tearing the paper or leaving glue residue. Hope that helps.

BeBop thanks man!

Got it ghost. It's-a-comin'. Thanks again, I really appreciate it.

More More!!!

Got it

Sounds like Michigan has a shit load of great radio stations and a thirst for adventurous music. I've heard that Ann Arbor is a very progressive place as well. I'll have to make a visit out there some time. Thanks for the tips...keep em' comin'.

3-0 BoSox in the second! Go SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buckner's revenge!

Yours is comin'

Don't be shy now...who's next?

Hey all, Monktail sent out CD's to local media only last night. We're trying to get on top of a local media push for our appearance at this years Earshot Jazz fest. We are going to send CD's to radio stations outside the Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia next week. So if you all would be so kind to oblige, could you tell me the name of your local jazz stations? Call letters and city is fine. I'll do the search for contacts. Of course any additional info (like shows likely to play outside jazz) would be helpful. I reall appreciate this. Thanks -John

Thanks so much everyone. I got a pretty hefty list at this point. Hopefully it will lead to airplay and a possible performance near you! BTW, I have discs for sale if anyone wants one. We been selling them for $15, but anybody here who wants one can get it from me for $10. They have letterpress covers and are limited edition 1 to 1000. Check out www.monktail.com if you wanna give us a listen before making any kind of commitment. You guys are the best!

Philadelphia Freedom - Elton John

Anyone else? I'm stuffing envelopes tonight.

Does anyone else have a local jazz station that plays outside stuff? Come on now, speak up

Hey all, I'm doing a big mailing tomorrow sending out promo and CD for The Monktail group I'm in (www.monktail.com). Can you all give me suggestions on radio stations around the country that play this kind of stuff (out jazz)? Addresses and specific DJ's to address them too would be nice as well. Thanks -John

It's a very sad day in the Seattle jazz scene today. Everyone is sending me emails regarding Don's death. I knew him relatively well. The sax player in one of my groups studied with him for years. A great teacher from what I hear – and a great man. He had a radio show with Bud Young (of Bud's Jazz Records – Seattle best record shop) on the local college station. I used to do the drive time jazz show on Mondays and the 'Bud and Don show' came on right after mine. Don would always have a CD or record by somebody I'd never heard of before. And upon further investigation I'd find myself saying "How come I have never heard of this guy before?!?" He was soft spoken, had a great sense of humor, and always had stories to tell. One time he told me a story of when he was touring with Woody Herman. Apparently the door to Serge Chaloff's hotel room had gotten damaged from someone pegging it with a knife over and over, so the hotel charged him for the door when they checked out. The band was waiting on the bus, and Serge had not shown up. Finally, onto the bus steps Serge with the door over his head saying, "If I'm paying for the door, I'm keeping the door!” Don always had a story to tell like that, and much knowledge to impart. We will all miss him. Seattle's jazz scene won't be the same without him. Take care Don.

Whoa! $40 bucks for that bad boy. Out of my price range right now unfortunately. Anybody got a Xerox machine and a postage stamp available?

Thank MF, I will.

Does anyone know how far along George Lewis is on his book? I talked with him a couple years ago and he was in the thick of it. Now with the extra $ he got from the MacArthur Award I would assume that he's in a better position to hammer it down...Anyone?

Indestructible!, Where did you hear this? A friend of mine is booking for the Seattle Improvised Music Festival and he was hoping to bring Henry Grimes to Seattle for the fest. If he's moving to NY this may negatively affect the feasibility of it happening. If you know, when is he moving?

I been trying to get a hold of Alan for a while now. Anybody know where he's at?

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! Lee Marvin is also awesome in this film.

I know I'm a little late on this, but I wanted to relate a story that's been saddening me. A few years ago I ran into a woman named Zoë Anglesey at Bud's Jazz Records in Seattle. She said she was a jazz writer and was looking for jazz in Seattle. We talked for a while, exchanged stories and it turned out that this woman lived in Brooklyn and was on vacation. I told her about a few things happening in town and she gave me her card and told me to give her a call if I ever was in NY and to send her stuff for review if my band had a CD coming out. She was very pleasant and warm and I have kept her card in my wallet ever since. Well, my band has a CD coming out in September so I was putting together a list of writers, radio stations, etc. to mail to. I did a Google search on Zoë and I saw a site advertising a benefit for her. I dug a little deeper and I discovered that she had passed away earlier this year. She died of non-smoking related lung cancer. I was very saddened. Now, I only met her once and we only talked for a ½ hour or so, but for some reason it has affected me. She seemed so full of life and had a youthful spirit. I did a little more research on her and it appears that she was an activist and poet as well and was well respected in the NY jazz scene. So…did anyone here know her and be willing to share a story or two about her? I’d love to find out more about this woman who I knew very little about but was touched by once in a record shop in Seattle.
