  1. so if he says 'not my fault' it's not whining?
  2. Austin Healey 100/4, n'est ce pa? but of course! Austin Healey 100/4, n'est ce pa? but of course! to be period correct for a new car they should have used a Healy 3000...
  3. Those are the two I visit now and then. Music Millenium is far cooler, but has fewer used cds. Its new cd selection is better, though, IMHO. gregmo That's my take as well, I know the people at MM so I tend to go there but there's nowhere with the kind of new jazz CD selection that was common 10yr(?) ago.
  4. Happy B-day & thank you Ms. Pepper.
  5. I was introduced to him once, he seemed v. shy. I think that's of a piece with the music, but maybe I'm just imagining that. Beyong the Bluenotes, I liked the one with Lee Konitz, who also seems like a thoughtful introverted kinda guy.
  6. When I worked in a record stare, some customers would 'auto-correct' his name to Winston!
  7. My issue with the critics poll is that they used to put the Rising Star/Deserving More Recognition right after the regular results in each catagory (tenor sax, etc.) so you could easily see see who'd got screwd by having their vote split between the two - so obviously their was no hard and fast rule about who was rising and who not, although I think at one time they tried to quantify it but that didn't work out, IIRC... and I always hated that I couldn't vote for new Star/underappreciated/whatever as a reader. And what's up with Ray Charles not being in their Hall of Fame? If anyone is Jazz, Blues AND Beyond, it's he.
  8. Hudson Hornets driven by moonshiners, that's stock car racin' to mee, evrything since - not so much.
  9. and if they play material from BW's recent Gershwin and Disney albums it could get beyond weird, maybe in a good way...maybe not.
  10. Ray Price, San Antonio Rose (trib to Bob Wills, not the later duets with Willie) $2.62 CND w/tax, mono, great sound, just a couple of audible clicks.
  11. Hey Allen: Do you know this book? http://catalog.multcolib.org:2084/search~S1?/theartaches+by+the+number/theartaches+by+the+number/1%2C2%2C3%2CB/frameset&FF=theartaches+by+the+number+country+musics++500+greatest+singles&1%2C1%2C/indexsort=- and if so, what do you think?
  12. My maternal Grandmother, who lived in Portland, always called it "Grant's Pants"!
  13. Cadence interview is well worth reading: choice nuggets on Ziggy Vines and Vegas, among other subjects.
  14. Yes, the blues (of various sorts) are part of the 'roots of rock', but only part - so are lot of (usually) less romantic things...and listing ingrediants ain't cooking! So I ain't subscribing to this, in any sense.
  15. I'm rather partial to folk melodies like "Down In the Willow Garden" and "The Purple Heather" but I think THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MELODY would have to be Ornette's "Lonely Woman", if I had to chose which of course I don't...
  16. The Riders were inconsistent at best, but they still have the same record now as the Stamps and are 1 & 1 in games with them so they may make it to the Grey Cup yet...but not giving up the one point and keeping possession and better field position on that kickoff was a bad mistake.
  17. The only effective way to address your perception of the crappiness of now would be in some kind of now way, whatever that might be, I have no clue...my 11 yr old listens to all kinds of stuff I just don't get, but has also developed a fascination with Ravi Shankar with no prompting from me that I can recall.
  18. Undercurrent I remember as most excellent, Peckin' Time I have no strong memory of at all. It's never the same again after any moment in time, each and every one!
  19. If it happened in a Hockey game, it would be a 5 or 10 minute penalty, if that.
  20. If the 'Riders play the Grey Cup in 'the city that rhymes with fun', peoples in SK may loose their minds.
  21. In this context, R = right He's right-handed, or correct? MG presumably, but not all right handers hit right, although they almost always throw right, some go both ways - 'switch hitters'. No puns inteneded, really.
  22. In this context, R = right
  23. I run hot 'n cold on Philly Joe; but when it's hot, it's way hot!
  24. Interesting bunch of players, but are they going to play the myth(s), the reality, the contrast, or what?
  25. If he's trying to 'pass' as human, I think he's failing...but he's a nice pianist and the one time I saw the 'American Quartet' they were v. good, esp'ly Dewey. Plays his ass off at the Cellar Door, presumably 'cause Miles kicked it first!
