I know it's not 'the best' (but, also far from 'the worst'). However, I'm in the mood for and going to get some Dunkin' Donuts coffee on this Saturday morning. Maybe a couple of doughnuts too.

sal: News of your order is going to force me to place another Mosaic order. It's your fault.

It's always interesting, to me, how certain music affects people in certain ways. I'm with jazzbo, when I'm listening to jazz, the music makes the world seem 'okay.' If I spend too many days away from the music, I feel a 'need' to let the music wash over me. To right the wrongs of the world, and to set my thoughts straight.

After today, Friday, I'm home for a three-day weekend. I'm looking forward to enjoying some good listening time. I should have ordered a new Mosaic, to be delivered today, but didn't.

I know it doesn't make a difference with the sound, however, I do prefer the blue & white disks. I just like 'em better.

I purchased the Woody Herman Capitol Mosaic. I'll agree that Woody is a good singer. To my ears, Woody's voice is old timey, modern, bluesy, swingy, country-ish, and jazzy. His voice fits 'just right' with his music. I enjoy the vocals interspersed between the intrumentals.

I like knowing this. Thanks.

Jackie Mclean is VERY recognizable for me.

Thank you, sir.

The Stanley Turrentine Mosaic is a 5 disk set. Is this the 'thicker' style Mosaic box where one CD case will hold three disks and the second will hold two disks? Or, does the Stanley Mosaic set exhibit the 'thinner' style box where each CD case holds only two CDs?

I remember re-doing my bathroom with my Dad back in 2000. We took all the old fixtures, tub, and cabinets out, then replaced them with all new (tub, tile, floor, cabinet, mirror, drywall, paint). We'd completed the kitchen in 1997. I enjoyed the projects very much. It was a good time, improving my property and spending time with my Dad. We drank lots of coffee, told stories, listened to music... quite a good time. I'm glad the projects are done but I'm kind of sad about it at the same time. All of my major house projects are complete. I can't ever sell the house because it has, literally, the blood of my Dad and I under the new floor, behind the new walls, under the tub. Congrats, b3-er, on a job well done. It brings great satisfaction to complete a remodel project on your own property. Especially when you do it yourself.

The Organissimo board is active enough that it seems odd to visit the board and see only a few of Today's Active Topics. There are four active topics as I type these words.

I was able to really 'watch' the NASCAR race today. No perusing the Organissimo board and missing parts of the race.

I have CDs I've that I've never listened to, yet, I desire more CDs. I've still never heard the entirety of the Hank Mobley Mosaic box. The Mobley Mosaic has been in my closet for, hmmm.... about three years. But, hey, I'm perfectly fine. There ain't nothing wrong with me. No. No way. Nothing wrong. Nothing. Is there some wording, somewhere, that states if you admit you have a problem, you're something like 85% fixed? Just wondering.

I'm going to see 'The Village' this evening. Tomrrow morning, Saturday, I'm looking forward to getting out of bed late. Once out of bed I plan to enjoy some coffee, bacon, eggs, and toast.

I've spent so damned much money in the last several months as a result of discussions on this board. I've purchased several Mosaics and all the recent RVGs. The ridiculous thing, I haven't had time to listen to most of what I've purchased. I have issues.

The majority of this set is Peggy Lee tunes. While I enjoy the entire set, June Christy has become, unexpectedly, the preferred singer, to my ears. It's unfortunate there wasn't more June Christy material to release.

Maybe the In A Silent Way box?

Get the Columbia, Louis Armstrong, Hot Fives & Sevens box.

I've spent a couple of weeks with the Woody Herman Capitol Sessions. I've still not listened to the entire set. Yes, I've said it before and I'll say it again. This is another terrific Mosaic set. I'm glad to have discovered Woody Herman, via this set, but kind of sorry that it took me till now to learn of Herman's music. There is a certain something about Herman's sound that, to me, sounds 'just right.' I enjoy other big bands but Herman has something special. When I think of what a big band should sound like, I can't describe my thoughts, specifically, but Herman's band is the closest to what my mind expects. I was concerned about liking (or not liking) Herman's vocals. Like another post in this thread expressed, however, Woody Herman is a fine singer. Sort of modern and sort of old timey. Sort of jazzy, sort of swingy and a little bluesy. I'm reminded of the vocal styles of Donald Fagen and George Strait. I admit that a combination of Fagen and Strait seems odd. I'm thinking Woody Herman had enough influence on both Fagen and Strait that they might sound something like Herman. At the same time, though, Fagen and Strait have really nothing in common in the modern day. Woody Herman, Donald Fagen, and George Strait all sound, to me, kind of modern, kind of swingy, and kind of old timey. The Woody Herman Capitol Mosaic offers a very nice mixture of instrumentals, vocals (male & female), swing, funk, and good times. The Dixieland selections are not the best but very far from the worst.

I wonder if dentists give free quotes?

Are you still in pain? Did the dentist give you some drugs?

What did the dentist have to do to your tooth?

I'm curious to learn of Soulstation1's thoughts on needles after his dental appointment today. B-)
