Wow. Wow. That was incredible. They'd better win the World Series now, after all that.

There are some good moments on both of those records, for sure, but with the release of Duke, Collin's songwriting became more and more dominant with each record and soon led to albums like Invisible Touch. Of course, who could blame them? They'd been together for over a decade and never really had a hit and then Phil goes and does a solo record and BAM the thing explodes. I like Phil's first two or three solo records. After that, meh. Lately his output is just plain sad.

Some of you may be close enough to come to this show, so I'd thought it befitting to post here. The Creole Gallery is a small art gallery in Lansing's historic Old Town district which features various music acts throughout the year including members of the LCJO and even Wynton Marsalis himself. It's a very small, intimate atmosphere and it's a rare concert event for us. We'll be able to play some things we usually don't get to play in noisy clubs. The date is November 5th at 8:00pm. The club is small so if you want to come I would suggest purchasing the tickets online. Tickets are $13 and more information can be found by clicking here.

March 31, 1980.

Yes, we could but first you'd need to GROW SOME HAIR!!

I just bought a Yamaha Beech Custom set for the studio this past summer. It sounds fabulous, especially with Randissimo playing it.

Then you said, "Whose your daddy????" And that is the last thing you remember, before waking up in the hospital. Pretty much. My wife don't take no stuff.

Honey, I bought something on eBay today: The Marriage Terminator

Looks like the people in the photograph just got done listening to that album and thought, "Wow, this is much better than my Hillary Duff CD! Let's go to the record store and buy more JAZZ!"

LOL

I'm betting the ratio is about 3:1

My wife forbids me to watch baseball. She got home late tonight because of after-work meetings (she works for a small city government) and we were talking in the kitchen and I said, "Let's go in the living room and talk." "Why?" she asked. "What are you watching?" "The Red Sox/Yankees game 6," I said. "BASEBALL?!?! OH NO, YOU'RE NOT WATCHING BASEBALL! You already watch basketball, college football and pro football. If you start watching baseball then next thing I know you'll be watching hockey and then golf and then you'll turn into my dad!" You must understand... when she met me, I only followed Michigan State football and basketball. But now I watch the Pistons and the NFL and even my old college buddies, who I got together with this weekend, we're flabergasted by my "newfound" love of sports. We were watching the Sox/Yankees game 3 on saturday and they just about spit beer out their noses when I started talking about Schilling.

We play pretty much every tune on that record. Paris Eyes, Back-Up, Ritha, Tyrone (although that has been replaced with "Young's Dream" for obvious reasons). Good stuff.

Yes, those close-ups of his bloodied sock were pretty gnarly. Gives new meaning to the name "red socks"!!!

Amazing. And I don't even like baseball.

Let it go. Just let it go.

Criminey, do you have a photographic memory or something? I've totally forgotten about this.

Is there something you're looking for?

Jeez, Joe... thanks for remind me of that shitty Honda ad.

Let's see; trombone, clarinet, guitar, bass and drums. It's my dream band! Forgive the interruption- back to the topic! Yeah, and the clarinetist looks HOT! Happy B-day, Christiern!

The Bobby Hutcherson cover doesn't really coincide with the music inside, nor the title, imo. The cover is good, just not for that record. The Natural Soul, on the other hand, is 'happening!' Rod Stewart needs to stop singing. Please. Or maybe people just need to stop buying his records. "Wake up, people! He's fucking terrible and hasn't done anything worthwhile since Faces!"

Yes, it does heal. But it leaves a real ugly purple scar.

The Rega's a very nice. I auditioned the latest incarnation of the Planet, but decided to go with an Arcam CD72 because it sounded better with my system. Try to find a place that will let you take home a couple different models. That way you can find which one sounds best on your system.

Sox are done done done.

So did the Piston play the Heat last night or not? ESPN originally had in on the schedule that they did and even had a 1st quarter score but now there is nothing and it says they are playing tonight. To further complicate things, the Pistons are now 1-1 after being 1-0 and the Heat are 1-1 after being 0-1 so it looks like the Heat won. WTF?
