Uhhhhhhhhh... Lyle Mays?

I don't know the answer to this question but it's a good question to get an answer to. I don't like to be censored either. For the monthly fee, I want to be able to rent what I want to rent, regardless of the rating of the film.

With the recent online competition from Blockbuster, I was thinking Netflix might lower its monthly fee. The Netflix fee hasn't changed. At the same time, Blockbuster is offering its online rental service at $2.00 per month less than Netflix. Also, Blockbuster offers two free in-store rentals per month along with the regular online rental service. I've never used an online rental service but am considering trying Blockbuster's service due to the lower price and the two free in-store rentals. Sometimes you just want to be able to go to the store, now, and get a DVD rather than waiting for it to arrive in the mail. Does anybody here have any experiences to share in regard to these services? Is one preferred over the other?

Cannonball Adderley, Art Blakey, Hank Mobley, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, Elvin Jones... please, take me away. B-)

I recommend Bob Wills. Mr. Wills and I are still close. The countrified/Westernized version of jazz and swing. Bob Wills had one of the best fiddle players of all time, Johnny Gimble, on his payroll. To my ears, Johnny Gimble ranks right there with Stephane Grappelli as one of the best violin players that ever was.

Anybody ever had raspberry wine, tomato wine, strawberry wine, or watermelon wine? Yeah, funny, me neither. Only in the words of country music.

I grew-up with country music. My Dad played it all the time when I was a kid. I remember many songs by Merle Haggard, Don Williams, and The Statler Brothers. I started listening to music at a young age. I remember my Dad's record albums from when I was five years old. Country music was all I knew till I was twelve years old. I 'know' country music. I understand it. I've had good times and good memories as a result of it. I appreciate the mood created by the music. Still, at certain times, the music touches my soul where in places where no other music can. Tonight, I'm tired of the TV news. I don't feel like watching a movie. For something different I switched to CMT on my cable box. Brooks & Dunn is playing as I type these words. A song entitled 'That's What It's All About.' Their sound is following the country music formula perfectly. The song has a good sound and I understand its meaning completely. At the same time, unfortunately, the music seems, to me, sort of simplistic, overly predictable... and dumb. I'm reminded of why I grew tired of country music and left it behind several years ago. I was happy to get the dog back, get the truck back, get the job back, and discover I'd never really spent time in prison. Feck.

Frank Zappa?

And... she likes jazz!

Any woman who can look this good AND knows how to cook gets my vote. Rachael appears to have an earthly personality combined with a good sense of humor and style.

This is an example of a person who's got it 'made' in this life. Yet, the poor soul can't seem to pull it together.

Macaulay Culkin?

Cause we know when you see the wider price differential that exists with the desktops, you're thinking "Oh man, that's gonna cost me a Farmer/Golson, a Mulligan and a Select at least." Man, you got it exactly right. It's funny, 'you' are thinking along the same line as me. For the price difference between an Apple and an HP, for example, I get the same internet surfing performance, but more Mosaics, if I purchase the HP. Damn.

clementine: I haven't traded conversation with you since you recommended I purchase the Woody Herman Capitol Mosaic. Your words were something like, "Yes, Woody Herman is a fine singer." I agree. You made an excellent recommendation and I thank you for it. I purchased the Herman Capitol box based mostly on your words about Woody (no pun intended). Man, how have you been?

Errr... my post was meant as a joke. (?) I believe that anybody who uses a Windows-based computer, which includes me, should be forever thankful for the existence of Apple. Apple has done much more than Microsoft in forcing Microsoft to keep Microsoft's products programmed in a contemporary mode. I'd buy a Mac if I wasn't so damned cheap. I would like to see Apple find a way to get their pricing more competitive with Windows-based computers.

Forget it. You can't help yourself. None of us can.

Patrick O'Hearn?

Oooohhhh... I believe this is an excellent offering, even if it proves not to be correct.

The greatest drummer ever. Hmmm... gives me visions of Elvin Jones. The 'Jones' name might make the new Organissimo CD sell. Now, if we could just find a way to get Mr. Elvin to play again.

Bob Wills?

I know, I know! This painting is Kenny Gorelick's image of his feelings regarding Charlie Parker.
