Damn. RIP.

As I attempt to upload a near 1gb file to my server right now (uploads are painfully slow compared to downloads), I can only say one thing: BRING IT ON!

She's out with her mother right now getting a pedicure (pregnant women can't see their feet!) and then lunch. I bought her a used Macbook, since she had to give up the one she was using when she left work last week. Tonight, dinner at a nice restuarant and I'm making a cake. Less than two weeks until baby #2!

By our very own Alan Lankin, taking at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2007. Fun times! The recording is going well. We've got two more days scheduled next week. But first a gig with Johnny E and the Reptet tomorrow night!

Cool tune! Love the breaks they put in. B3 player is killin' it!

Thanks! I disabled the stronghold cookie (sounds tasty!) That should hopefully solve the issue.

Hey, that might appease the guy! Thanks!

And let's see... admin control panel... find member "Joe G"... delete member? YES or NO

We've been looking for years. So many bad high school productions, including a truly atrocious "talent" show with some poor guy attempting to sing "Hey There, Lonely Girl" about an octave and a half too low. His acting was no picnic, either.

So I'm gonna have to do this myself? I'm disappointed in all of you. You call yourselves musicians?

Priceless! Man, I wish I had the tape of various funny, ridiculous stuff my buddy and I collected from his video production business. There were some classic moments on there, including a guy playing a solo gig with a drum machine, synth bass, and him playing guitar and singing. He was playing some tiny bar at a private golf club and rocking out metal tunes all night long. His version of Crazy Train was especially hilarious! The best part is that he was actually quite good, but he looked like an accountant and he contorted his face in the strangest way while playing and singing. We also had some incredibly funny moments from the 1999 Ms. Saline contest. Damn. I wish I could find that tape. It would make some brilliant Youtube fodder.

Nope, not a Minimoog. It's an Odessey, ARP's answer to the Minimoog. Another video has chick playing the ARP Pro-soloist (Tony Banks used one a lot with Genesis). And the video of Chick and the Downbeat guys from 1975 that you posted has him playing the Minimoog. He had it all!

Pro. I thought it was cool that a) they were covering Green Onions and b) they did a great job of it and c) the guy was playing a Wurli (and an old tube-based one at that!)

Anyone?

A hobbyist musician friend of my sister asked me to do a chart of this tune and I'm really busy. Anybody have one? Thanks!

Or "Come Rain Or Come Shine" or "Embraceable You".

Is that clip from the same show as the Harry James band doing Green Onions, which I posted somewhere here quite a while ago?

The Rashaan is a must have.

5 years or 100,000 miles.

Faders = potentiometers.

I had a few "lessons" with Kenny when I was at MSU. I put lessons in quotations because they were more conversations about music and life than "Hey, practice this." He's a gentleman, a great person, and a fine musician. I played with Danny Spencer once when he sat in with a band I was playing with at the Green Door in Lansing. He was back in town for some reason or another. A real sweetheart.

Other than the big scar, which I'm sure will diminish as she gets older, she's back to 100%. She has full extension of her arm. The doctor was very happy and so are we. Thanks for asking!
