Mingus is one of those guys that I really haven't gotten into-that is until I checked out MINGUS AH UM and got absolutely floored!!!! These recommendations will help me get further up to speed.
Alison hopefully you will find a doctor(s) who knows whats going on and give you some answers and some peace because god knows you deserve it. I'll be thinking good thoughts for you.
I saw the Butterfield group with Bishop, Mark Naftalin,Phillip Wilson,Dave Sanborn,Gene Dinwiddie and Keith Johnson. Not much jamming per se but it was a super show.
Rainy it's a guy thing but I understand why you don't approve. In fairness to my fellow male posters I do think that for the most part they do a good job of getting past the superficial and judging artists on their individual merits. FWIW I don't miss the babe thread.
Now don't get mad Rainy but can Rachel Ray actually cook?
Count me in as another fan. Some people may not like Ernie because they view him as just a studio musician but that's irrelevant as far as I'm concerned because Ernie can play his ass off !!!!!
Normally when I see a thread that I don't like I avoid it like the proverbial plague. If I see a post that pisses me off I try to chill first before I offer a response and a lot of times I don't respond because frankly it just isn't worth it. I have to be in the right mood or maybe I should say the wrong mood before I get into an argument with some one. As it is life is far too short and difficult to go creating enemies. Sometimes it happens and not everyone in this life is going to like you but why add to your burden by adding to your enemies list for no real good reason. Some people like to argue but I'm not one of them.
Anybody who goes 205 on a public road who is not a professional race car driver is a candidate for the coroner. I hope their dental records will be helpful.
