  1. up at the top of my screen, between the my controls andnew messages I get a string of stuff that says: member['g_use_pm'] AND Object->member['members_disable_pm'] == 0"> · It wasn't there after the initial upgrade, but appeared at some stage of the tweaking process. What gives?
  2. I chatted for a while this afternoon on my Mac running Safari. Seemed to work fine. Takes several seconds for the java thing to work itself out and start running, then it was fine.
  3. Here is Albuquerque there is the Outpost Performance Space which would be a very cool venue for the group. The Outpost is a member of the Western Arts Alliance. That is an organization that could hook you up with a bunch of different presenters. Hope you guys can hook up a tour out this way...
  4. Is that where the ever-popular term "getting reamed" came from? Since we're on the topic........ Better than playing the office party for these guys...
  5. right now it's beautiful here in NM. Sunny and climbing into the 60s this afternoon. But it looks like a little bit of snow is on the way for the weekend. Ski places still haven't opened yet...
  6. mmmmmm......turducken..... None for me, but we are brining our turkey again this year (soak in a saltwater solution with some spices over night-- makes for a very moist turkey). We learned last year that it makes the drippings too salty to use for gravy or in the stuffing...
  7. My first "paying" gig was when I was 15 or 16. My high-school band director booked our little combo to play an office party at the local Boise-Cascade paper mill. Originally we were just going to get snacks from the party, but I talked them into giving us each a ream of paper! (think I aimed a little low?)
  8. I like how the colors bring out the blue in my avatar!
  9. Continuing the hijack: Jerry also does a pantomime of Basie's "Cute" in "Cinderfella" (Welcome back, Paul. You've been quiet for a few days...)
  10. You can check out the Les Brown band in the big prom scene at the end of the original "Nutty Professor" where they're featured quite a bit (including Les' brother Stumpy (Shorty?). Somewhat off topic: the Basie band w/ Joe Williams appearing in Jerry Lewis' movie "Cinderfella".
  11. Golly! I'm looking forward to some great imput from spamland...
  12. Reginald Veale Georges Duboeuf Marco Polo (Pollo?)
  13. That tune is in the old Real Book as "Memories of Tomorrw". Don't know about other performances/recordings by Jarrett, but the tune appears to have been recorded on guitar here and on "romantic jazz piano" here. Good luck, and God speed...
  14. e-mailed re: Diz '48, Griff, Moody, and Jackie Mac. I'll find someone a little more 'cool' to burn me all of the others...
  15. Rex Reed Frank Lloyd Wright David Matthews
  16. So where does Miles fit in this discussion? Sure, he was ahead of (or at least on) the curve around '59 with Kind of Blue, but he kept the way-inside Wynton Kelly trio into the early '60s [insert plug here for this week's AOTW] even as he (and Trane) are going out a bit. Still playing very straight-ahead tunes and arrangements.
  17. Got mine today. Looking forward to the tunes!
  18. I had some barber college haircuts when I was a teenager. They were definitely cheap, and sometimes good. But then there were those times when we'd be about two-thirds of the way through the haircut, and the student would just freeze, with a blank/scared look on her face. Then she would say something like, "Um... I'll be right back..." She would go get the superviser, and that's when the real teaching and learning began! Teacher tries to reassure me, assess the damage, encourage the student and keep the whole thing moving so they can get the next cheap bastard in the chair. A few weeks of extra product and careful hat placement and the damage worked itself out.
