Medeski doesn't play left hand bass or pedals, but I would call him an organist, for sure. I don't know... does it matter all that much?

Looks like he playing the new Porta B. http://www.hammondorganco.com/prod_portable_newb3.htm Hey Joe, tell him to get Ham-Suz to give me one of those and save my back, will ya? Nice pics, Mark!

What's wrong with dressing in women's clothing?

That's a pretty idyllic setting!

If anyone wants to write a review on Amazon, that would kick-ass.

This is kinda dumb, imo: http://rw2c.thropter.com/login.asp?form_RD...Findex%2Easp%3F "Wanna hear what my music sounds like? You have to sign up as a member of my website." That doesn't seem very smart to me, but what do I know? I know I like Stanton Moore and if this guy plays with him, he must be pretty good. However, I can't hear any audio samples on his website, so...

Oh, I've crashed it, believe you me.

Actually, if he had a nickle for every time Windows crashes, he'd probably be 10x richer than he already is!

Yeah, to the frickin' Nets. I hate the Nets. If 'Sheed had made just three of his 12 three pointers, Detroit probably would've won. Oh well. Can't win 'em all. I could tell that 'Sheed was disgusted with himself, so hopefully he'll come out with a vengence tonight.

So does this special computer run Windows?

The disc is now available at CDBaby: http://cdbaby.com/group/bigorecords It's already getting very extensive airplay on WCMU. Dig it!

Joe and I heard some of this on WCMU last night while driving home... sounded very interesting. I'll be picking it up.

Gene's got a nice website that I just found: www.geneludwig.com And I see he's coming to Baker's Keyboard Lounge on May 5th and 6th. I'm there! Also, check out this picture of Gene, Jerry Byrd, and my man Randy Gilespie: http://www.geneludwig.com/pages/pic5.html And this one, from 2003 of Gene, Bob DeVos and Billy James (he's still alive!?!?) http://www.geneludwig.com/pages/pic15.html And then there's this one with Gene and Jimmy McGriff, who has some sort of creature on his head.... http://www.geneludwig.com/pages/pic26.html

The guy has obvious reading comprehension skills. Perhaps he was schooled in the U.S.

Now c'mon, would you really have married me if I played the flute?

The software doesn't do this... I believe Dan put that in there himself.

Thank heavens I don't open anything from anyone I'm not expecting to send an attachment, because that's STUPID.

I can just see that conversation: Friend: "That's a great album, you should pick it up." Friend #2: "Just dub it for me. Your's is a burn anyway." Friend: "Ok."

He doesn't have a "right" to it (whatever that means), but since he's the son of a millionaire, he can afford to buy it. He can also afford to buy a Lexus, which you probably can't. Does that mean you deserve one? Maybe. Does that mean you're going to go steal one since you can't pay for it?

Agreed. It's not like we're talking about something that is needed to sustain life (like food). If you are too poor to buy a CD, it's okay to copy it? That doesn't fly.

Better not open that can... Because then you might have to open one of these:

Hmm... so I've been going to a chiropractor and trying to take it easy on the ol' back (which is hard with a 21 month old running around the house). This morning my back was really bad, so I took some Motrin and now I'm icing it. The problem is, I cannot feel the ice on the left side of my lower back. Once it gets towards the spine, I can feel the cold, but on the left side, where my supposed herniated disc is, I cannot feel the cold. All I feel is the pressure of the cubes against the skin. That's not a good thing, is it?

It works like this: 1) Go to the forum you'd like to post a poll in. 2) Click the "New Topic" button. 3) Enter a Topic Title and a Topic Description (optional) 4) Click on "Click here to manage this topic's poll" next to "Poll Options" 5) Enter a Poll Title 6) Click on "Add Poll Questions" to begin the poll. 7) Enter a "Poll Content" 8) Click on "Add Poll Choice" 9) Add as many choices as you'd like. 10) Enter something in the regular post box (you must type something here or the poll won't go through... it could be as simple as a smiley) 11) Add another question or just click on "Post New Topic" to finish.

We appreciate that. I was ragging on Berigan, since he claims to have 100% dead people in his collection.

So I take it you don't have either of the organissimo CDs?!? FOR SHAME!!! Bingo.
