Dunno 'baht technical stuff, Guv. MG

Wouldn't a guy as savvy as Horace have got this? He was one of the first modern jazz musicians to get his own publishing company. MG

But there's a range of odd breathy sounds that flute players make - Rahsaan was particularly great at this, but quite a lot of African flute players do it, too - which stand for "blue notes", or have a similar function within the music. MG

Because the production costs of records are paid for out of the artist's royalties - ie they don't get any until those costs are paid (if ever). But Horace actually was getting royalties. So a copyright that won't be issued, the production costs of which have been paid for by Silver, is of no value to EMI. MG

Isn't that what he was doing in the seventies? "Silver 'n wood" etc... Haven't heard any of that stuff. MG

Quite right - but Bill mentioned him - rather quickly But I think Mann did himself in as an influence on flute players generally, through tending to focus on Soul Jazz. 'Course, I like it MG

I never knew that in American, gardening exclsively meant growing food! Learn something every day. What do yo ucall it when you grow flowers, bushes & etc in your garden? Actually, I suppose you have more reliable weather than we do. My father-in-law used to lose tons of stuff when the weather turned as crappy as it normally does in Britain. Only the rhubarb seemed to do well under any circumstances. MG It's a lovely colour. You'll be brewing your own beer next Pinched yours last night MG
