Wouldn't it be more appropriate for them to walk up to the podium to the sound of their own Grammy-winning album? Nothing against James Brown...just not familiar with the Grammy protocol.

It's a vast right wing conspiracy.

22 minutes per side, I think, is a maximum that can be pressed on it, to keep it sounding ok.

I'd love to go back to the Lp-length cd releases. 45 minutes is a perfect amount of time to say what you want to say. ..Just sayin'.

Kamasi is a musical director of Black Lives Matter? Seriously, I don't know.

I've got nothing else planned for April 1, so I'm thinking of going to see it on the opening day...if there are any local theaters that will be showing it.

I'm excited about this gig, never having heard Ramsey live. Somewhat ambiguous about the solo aspect of the gig. Anyone heard him solo? I would imagine he'd be more comfortable in the trio or quartet setting.

Do you work out? Ride a bike, jog, that sort of thing..

Is absinthe provided, or it's byob?

Good one! What about cat naps? Anyone take those?

Are you saying you'll be moderating the forum members coitus preferences also? Those, who, for one reason or another, distance themselves from my coitus suggestion...how about a warm glass of milk before bedtime?

I'm really liking the pictures underneath Pat's photo.

I think I might have this record, or definitely saw it before. Is it on Teichiku Records, or Progressive? Label looks just like the original PR labels. Tangentially, Teichiku Records owned or was in some way affiliated with Baybridge Records, another Japanese label that reissued American albums in Japan around the early 1980s.

Lousy? I've watched the trailer. It looked like Karate Kid Drummer.

He's from your neck of the woods. From memory, I think he played for tv studios in LA for many years. I had one of his trio cds, on Four Star Records iirc,..capable playing, left me underwhelmed. Just my $.02.

I remember reading Arthur Rhames' bio, which indicated that he played on the streets of Manhattan for several years, mostly in the Upper West Side area. Any other examples of musicians of note[no pun intended], who gigged in the streets when they were already known players? What would attract a musician to play on a street/in the subway? Desire to be heard, want of funds, other "life's circumstances"? Arthur Rhames in the early 1980s. Somewhere in the City.

Sounds generic. Don's sound is technically very facile, no doubt, but I find his playing anonymous. Just my $.02

It's time for that Chicago trip I've been thinking about. Perhaps a long weekend this Spring.

What's the attraction for buying these on el Pee? Odds are the lp masters were digitally processed.

Sounds cool. Real early John Hicks on this recording. How's the sound?

I was just playing Hank Jones - ARIGATO LP from 1976. It's a ok. I thought Progressive had Japanese connections. The back cover of Arigato lists some Japanese names among the producers, if I'm remembering right, and had a Japanese style liner notes insert inside the jacket.

Maude Lebowski: Do you like sex, Mr. Lebowski? The Dude: 'Scuse me? Maude Lebowski: Sex. The physical act of love. Coitus. Do you like it? The Dude: I was talking about my rug. Maude Lebowski: You're not interested in sex? The Dude: You mean coitus? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV_0PzeZRs8

The tv is installed, which took all of 20 minutes from unpacking to watching. Things have really progressed in last decade, I'll tell you that. The manual for this tv is about 10 pages, whereas my old one was a folio. I don't have to futz around with cables, there's only one hdmi going from the surround sound receiver to the tv. Coming from the edtv, the picture on the 4K is f***ing amazing. If anything, it's almost too vivid, too good, unsettling at first. I have not been able to watch any HD soccer matches yet..what would this motion blur look like? All in all, I'm really mesmerized by the almost palpable visuals of this thing. Now I have to get a universal remote, since I'm using four remotes now - LG tv SONY blu-ray PIONEER surround sound receiver ROKU Any suggestions on the universal remote that is "old people friendly"?

Having coitus really helps me transition into a fulfilling, relaxing sleep.
