I have 1. I think it's called "You're Under Arrest". I've never gotten what's so big about Miles.

How would you like to be the "page turner / organ registration switcher"? I wonder if they get more props in classical circles than just regular page turners. Does one have to attend a special school to learn the art that is page turning and/or organ registration switching?

Way to ride the fence, Greg. Everyone knows I'm the baddest... ... the baddest what... well, that's still up in the air.

Canada just wants to beautify itself, so it legalized gay marraige so everyone gay from the US will move there and the whole country will have immaculate lawns.

Y'all need some GIGz! I just got done playing the Green Door. Now that's living, baby!

I don't know but his pirate name is Fat-Ass Bobby Grimm. Never heard of a pirate named Fat-Ass myself, but it's a big world.

I think you just came up with a great name for a touring festival featuring all 80s hair metal bands. Lickfest.

I loved growing up in Mason. Sleepy little town, for the most part. However, my assessment of goat poop is correct because I was referring to the fair, not Mason in general. Pig poop was indeed the smell du jour around the Alfredson estate since ol' man Chaney had a pig farm and also spread the shit (har har) on his fields in the spring. But at the fair, there was goat poop galore. And lots of mullets. And corndogs. And elephant ears. And scary "carnies". And such and such.

At organissimo gigs, if the crowd isn't talking as loud or louder than the band, we feel out of place!!

You can delete a topic that you started. Unless it was closed by the moderator.

Shaq's glory days are over. I don't think he'll make it all the way through the season. Miami hasn't really picked up anyone that can help in that regard, either (although who could?)

So the Pistons got Dale Davis. And not much else. They are going to have a tough road this year, but I still think they will be Eastern Conference Champs again. I will not say anything about the Finals. Let's get it on!!

Or better yet, hear some live music. ← WORD!

Dang. If I have almost $700 lying around, I sure as hell wouldn't buy a record with it. Here's an idea... why not go out and see some live music?

Speaking of posters... we'll be having another signing party soon so I can send those out. Sorry it's taken so long, but they are here now!

I'm waiting for these to come down in price a bit... they would be WAY cool for getting board feeds from gigs. But $300 plus media is still a little steep.

I should also mention that any weighted-action modern keyboard/synth you're likely to get is going to be much more expensive as an initial investment than a piano. Weighted action keyboards are not cheap. So even if she is only six, a real piano right now might be more cost effective. Zora is only 16months but she loves the piano!

Hey, I learned to play exclusively on synths and organs! Didn't really touch a real piano until I was in my teens (even though my dad is a piano tuner/technician). Of course, I didn't take lessons, either. That said, you can usually get a piano either cheap or for free. Before taking it home, however, it's always a good idea to have a technician come and look at it. It could just need a tuning, or it could have cracks in the soundboard, need all the felts replaced, strings replaced, action repairs, etc. Always good to know what you're getting into before-hand. But if you have the space, a real piano is the way to go.

But again, they've been able to detect this drug since 2001. So why now? Seems just a wee bit vengeful, doesn't it?

I guess I have the answer to my question. Jealousy is a bitch, ain't it?

So if nothing can be done, why test these old samples for a second time, 6 years after the fact?

Awww... why did we change the title? The old one was much better. Booooo!

Thanks, Bev! Glad you like it! I finally have posters and the boyz and I need to have another signing party so I can send those out. We'll be doing that soon.

We have a showcase on AAJ! http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/showcase.php?id=247 They'll be a review soon, I am told. Coolness!
