  1. Too weird. Look at all the che posts at Jazz Corner.
  2. che needs to drink more beer (and eat more Mexican food). It might help him to relax.
  3. Feck. How does Reece get such a huge sound from his trumpet? When he plays, my mind pictures a regular-sized trumpet with a HUGE bell.
  4. I got into the Mosaic thing too late and missed it.
  5. I purchased the Dizzy Reece select many months ago when it was a new release. I decided, tonight, to listen to the COMIN' ON session with Reece, Stanley Turrentine and Bobby Timmons. To my surprise, the COMIN' ON disk still had the shrink wrap intact. Jeez, I've never listened to this disk before? In conclusion, the combination of Reece and Turrentine is very good.
  6. A very poignant observation no matter what side you're on.
  7. The one and only. Play, brother Elvin.
  8. I do believe Schlitz is a very under-rated beer. I don't know if people put it down due to it's reputation/name or the price (or both). I believe, if Schlitz or Old Milwuakee were offered to beer drinkers via a no-name glass, people would accept them as good American beers.
  9. Friday night's dining pleasure: a glass of Corona, and a large bowl of caldo de pescado served with fresh limes, cilantro, and corn tortillas. I'll get to the Old Milwaukee after I finish the Corona and the soup. I survived the work week. The weekend is here. I'm in the mood for some Horace Silver and some Sonny Rollins. B-)
  10. Bully.
  11. Oh yeah. Firefox is the superior web browser versus Internet Explorer, in my opinion. Did you get the updates for Firefox. It's up to version 1.02 as I type these words.
  12. This is also smart. I use Firefox 99% of the time. Some web pages are written for Internet Explorer and Firefox can mis-display these pages. Otherwise, Firefox is my browser choice. I use the hell out of the Tabbed Browsing option.
  13. Also, consider adding a custom Windows HOSTS file such as the one offered here. I keep my HOSTS file updated from this sight whenever an updated HOSTS file becomes available. You can hardly have too much protection from potential computer threats.
  14. Yeah, I know, you can't make me happy. But, how about a Hank Mobley T-shirt offered through Mosaic Records? I want my Hank.
  15. Norton checks for 'viruses.' The BAD items found by X-Ray Tech are probably not viruses. The BAD items are probably other types of malware such as adware, spyware, various browser hijackers and the like. You need Norton and other given anti-spyware programs such as the couple I listed in my post above. I've read some opinions that say, these days, Norton is not 'the best' anti-virus program (even though it's what I use). Some people recommend the free, online virus scan from Trend Micro located here. Viruses are only a part of the many items that can infect your computer in these modern times.
  16. Man, get the BAD shit cleaned out. Afterward, go here, get a copy of Spybot, get it updated, and set it to 'Immunize.' Go here, get SpywareBlaster, get it updated, and set it to protect you from everything. Your computer shouldn't continue to get infected as much as it has been.
  17. Not alone! I drink with my buddy Johnny Coltrane. Maybe my buddy Billy Evans.
  18. I hope Concord won't try to fix, too much, that which wasn't already broken.
  19. Post your software situation here. You'll probably get a good solution. I did a search on your error but didn't find an answer. http://forums.techguy.org/
  20. Lee Morgan was the 'toothpaste factor?' I never knew. I always thought it was Hank Mobley who found a way to make his sound more 'round' with toothpaste. I love this Board! I learn something new every day.
  21. This is what happens when we build our society around the automobile. As a result, the government needs to do some managing (whatever that means) of the price of gasoline.
  22. I drive a passenger car with a four cylinder engine (a Plymouth Breeze). I'm spending about $30 per week just to drive to work and back. It makes me wonder what it's like for those people who drive a gas guzzler every day.
  23. And, I drink it only when I'm at home, alone. Which, I've heard, is the worst kind of beer drinker.
  24. No more Jeff B please.
  25. Although there are good things about all parts of the USA, Arizona sure ain't Pennslyvania. I was surprised when I read that catesta is planning to leave Arizona. To agree with him, Phoenix is not the same as Tucson. In comparison, Phoenix is too big and too damned hot. Me, I'm not going anywhere. Everything I want is here. Hot weather, good Mexican food, cold beer, easy living, and nice people. Chorizo and eggs for breakfast. A favorite of mine. I've learned from the Hispanic people in the Tucson area, when it's hot in June, breakfast should consist of chorizo & eggs, or menudo, and a cold Mexican beer. You can find good tamales at Pepe's Tamales & Tire store. Pepe's offers some of the best chips & salsa and tamales I've had the pleasure of consuming. I was out last weekend with my Dad. We took a drive in his Jeep. Within 30 minutes of where I live we saw a ghost town, learned of some American Indian history, drove through a stream, talked to a rancher, saw a javalina, walked down an abandoned mine shaft, had a sandwich, drank some coffee, talked to a hiker, and tested the Jeep's mountain climbing ability. We drove back to town while enjoying a sunset of pure purple. At day's end we had a cold beer and some food in a Mexican restaurant. Yeah, it gets a little hot 'round here but it just makes for the pace of life being a little slower. There's nothing as cool as enjoying a Mexican beer in freaking Mexico (and knowing you can return to the USA whenever you're ready). You know, when you're in old Mexico, the Mexican beers don't say imported on them. When I get to feeling down about the USA, I make a day trip to Mexico (an hour's drive from my house). I come back home feeling oh-so-much-better about the life and opportunity offered by the United States of America. No. I have nowhere else to go. I'm staying in Arizona. This is a good place to be.
