When did he say the BNBB would reopen? May 2003? Don't care if it ever does, btw. Just pointing out that I would not count on anything.

I got home today and my furnace was not working. It's about 20 degrees F outside and 65 degrees inside. So, I go downstairs, do the obligatory poking around, give up, and call for service. About 2 hours later the service guy calls. Once he determines that I have a Lennox furnace, he informs me he can't fix it if it needs any parts as he's no longer an authorized Lennox dealer. When I describe the symptoms, he tells me exactly what he would do - remove the vent pipe, remove the upper fan motor cover, then the fan itself and check to see if it's jammed. If it is, free it up and give it a try. He tells me to try this before calling the Lennox dealer and really get hosed. So I do. Guess what - it worked. It took me about two hours but I did it. The furnace is up and running and I saved myself $85 for the off hours service call plus the $85 per hour labor charge. I figure I saved at least $170, maybe $200 if it took him a little over an hour. B) Seeing as I would have had to fork out $185-200 for a lousy furnace repair, I'd say I now have an opportunity to pick up a couple Mosaics. I've had my eye on the Roach set, what with the Stuff Smith disaster still fresh in my mind - and a couple of Selects perhaps - the Pearson and Amy or one of the new ones. Now mind you I just picked up the Eldridge, Mulligan and a partial Stuff set about two weeks ago justifying that purchase by saying that I returned a leather coat that I received as a Christmas gift and received enough money back to cover the cost of that purchase. Think this one will fly with headquarters?

Avast. So this bilge rat thinks he can scare off the likes of me???? Well blow me down. Why in t' name o' Blue Beard did he post this image on t' net in t' first place? Aaarrrrrr. Blast his stinkin' hide. I oughtta have him keel hauled and strung from the yard arm. Aaaaaaaaaarrrrr. I fart in his general direction.

You're right - contemporary/precursor of the Group of Seven. Seeing his work - and the Group of Seven - in real life is amazing. Beautiful work. I've spent a lot of time in the areas from which these guys drew their inspiration so their work really hits home. I'll be visiting Ottawa in about 3 weeks and am looking forward to checking out the National Gallery of Canada's Thomson and Group of Seven stuff

So was this guy member number 600?

Ever hear of the Ramen Noodle Soup diet? B) You can get 6 packages for a buck round these parts. That's lunch and dinner for a week for a little over 2 bucks. Drink lots of water. What do you pay for lunch every day - about 5 bucks? Dinner - another 5 bucks? That's 10 bucks a day x7 days a week = $70. Subtract the 2 bucks for the Ramen Noodle Soup and that leaves $68 - and your Mitchell set. The more you eat, the more you save You can definitely have your cake (or Ramen Noodle Soup) and eat it too! No pain, no gain There is no try, only do.

I think it's closer to Chief Cook and Bottle Washer.

I have discovered that there is an evil cartoon character named "MoJo JoJo" on a cartoon show called the Powerpuff Girls. Perhaps this is the MoJo to whom you refer.

The list posted by Big Wheel on the linked thread is the official list of WCCs. Jazz Guitar, New Wine, A Gasser and a few others in the other list in htat thread were not part of the WCC series. Here's the Quote

I guess I should have read the posts just before mine as they are about the same auction. Oops. At any rate, Marie did in fact respond to my email: In a message dated 1/24/2004 7:49:35 AM Pacific Standard Time, **************.com writes: Is this auction for disc 7 only or for the whole set? I believe by reading your description it is for disc 7 only. But the fact that you have displayed the cover of the Mosaic box and quoted a review of the entire set makes me think that the bidders on this auction might think it is the entire box. I can't believe that anyone would pay $43 (the current high bid) for disc 7 alone, especially since the set is still in print and available complete from Mosaic. If this is a misinterpretation of the bidders, I urge you to clear up this issue or cancel the auction as the bidders, in my opinion, will be getting ripped off. If I have misinterpreted your description and the auction id for the entire set with box and booklet, you have my apologies. Thanks Ed Swinnich yes, we cancelled the auction. It is only one disc. Marie

Well, maybe I did my good deed for the day. I know that intervening in ebay auctions can be a sensitive issue among some who do sell on ebay, but I contacted the seller and let him/her know that I thought their description was misleading and that I thought that it should either be clarified or the auction should be ended. Looks like they chose to end the auction early.

With 7 hours to go, this auction for what appears to be disc 7 only from the Bunny Berigan set is at $43. Click Here If you ask me, the description is not clear enough, especially with a photo of the Mosaic Box and a review of the entire set. Somebody's going to be very disappointed.

Who the frig is Takashi???? Thank you

Michael McDonald I saw that MCI commercial and got hooked. I know - what a sucker. Anyways, I picked up his Motown album based on that and really dig it. Fabulous version of Too High. I found a few of his other more recent releases very cheap on half.com - some pretty decent tunes on those too.

With a 1957 birthdate, I was a Captain Kangaroo devotee have lots of fond memories of the show. Reading the article brought a smile to my face. Thanks for posting that.

Look carefully. It's not MoJo, it NoJo. It's a cutesy, happening, hip nickname for Norah Jones fashioned from the first two letters from NOrah and the first two letters from JOnes. If you missed the MoJo vs Nojo thing you might have missed that there is some sort of rumor floating around that Norah Jones is really Ravi Shankar's daughter. Really!!!!

It says somewhere in the article that "NoJo" is the daughter of Ravi Shankar. Is this true? Can someone confirm this?

NoJo ???? B)
