Deep, no one has been emailing me anything. I stumbled back into this thread after leaving it alone for weeks, just to see what was up. I wasn't too keen on what I saw. For what it's worth I grew up with 5 sisters and my mother (now sadly deceased) so I have a very strong respect for women and do not like demeaning talk about them. But did I censor you? No. Did I edit your posts? No. I just posted in here to let you know I'm still watching. This isn't a free-for-all, believe it or not.

Sad news. My condolences. I'm moving this to the "artists" forum.

Where the hell is this coming from? I simply thought it was strange that someone would show up here and spend all their time posting in this thread. Of course, as soon as I wrote that you were in the politics section posting... so, foot in my mouth. Sorry for the rude "welcome" but when you have a board with almost 600 people on it, you start to get pretty cynical. People are never who they seem.

It's nice that Stanley's record will be in print again. I constantly recommend that record to people but it's been long out of print.

Actually this is my turf and I'm not too thrilled with what's been going down in this thread lately. Just because you've confined yourself to one thread doesn't mean you have a free pass. This is a jazz bulletin board. Not a sexual exploits board, not a bragging rights board, not a rag-on-whoever-you-want board and definately not a board where each person has carte blanche to say whatever they want as long as they start their own topic. "The Groper": why have you come here? 14 posts and none outside this thread. Do you actually want to discuss jazz or did you come here to talk dirty? There are lots of boards for that. Not mine. DEEP, you know the rules and you know that I'm a pretty tolerant guy but this is my gig. I know you've quarantined yourself in here until the new software is released and the "ignore" feature is implemented, but you still have to conduct yourself like everyone else on this board. I'm not going to make seperate rooms for every member that doesn't want to play nice.

For those who do not want to mix politics and jazz, you can sign up to ignore the Political Forum. See this thread for more details.

Oh good Lord... From a fellow at the Tape Op message board:

Ah Randy. Always pushin'.

Don't tell me; you love them?

What, you expect him to coach?

Everyone knows tangin' the hump and kickin' bass on a greasy B3 shuffle equals aesthetic superiority.

He's playing guitar on the next Organissimo record as a matter of fact...

Sister Christian, oh the time has come And you know that you're the only one to say, OK Where you goin', what you looking for You know those boys don't want to play no more with you It's true [Refrain] You're motoring What's your price for flight In finding Mister Right You'll be all right tonight Babe, you know you're growing up so fast And momma's worrying that you won't last to say, let's play Sister Christian, there's so much in life Don't you give it up before your time is due It's true, it's true, yeah You're motoring What's your price for flight You've got him in your sights And driving through the night [Refrain thrice] Sister Christian, oh the time has come And you know that you're the only one to say, OK But you're motoring Yeah, motoring I always wondered what they were saying during the chorus. I thought it sounded like "motoring" but I though, "That can't be right... it doesn't make any sense!" Sure enough....

For Joe G: Jeff Watson solo record Dammit, Joe... you need to ride to our next gig on a white steed with a pirate shirt on... and dude.... GROW SOME HAIR!!!!!!!

Night Ranger

lol

I would just like to say: Man, I sure miss the Organissimo Forums. Too bad it died....

I just realized this was in the "Forums Discussion" forum. I'm going to move it to the "musicians" forum since he's asking about charts and lyrics and stuff.

Maybe he was responding to Sandu. Or fondu.

Guys, look at the rabbi picture!! The guy holding the gun looks like Tom!!!!!!! AM I CRAZY!>>!>?!?!?! VFSKLAJF D

I stay in bed as long as possible with about 5 layers of sheets/comforters/etc.

I don't share your opinion. Let's see if "Organissimo" would like to take this as an opportunity to apologize for being an organ trio. First we'd have to assume that our record is "good". Personally, I think it KICKS ASS but I'm a little biased! Secondly, I'm hopped up on anti-biotics and Robitussen with codine because of this nasty bronchial infection I got (that has come back with a vengence after the long day and long night of giggin' I had Tuesday)... so I'm a bit in that "inter-stellar space" right now... Thirdly, I have to concur with JSngry asking "What fuckin' world are you living in?" or some such thing. And I mean that in the nicest way. I have never apologized for being an organist and playing in a funky, greasy organ trio. I don't lose any sleep over the guys doing other things. I don't lose any sleep over guys doing things similair to what I'm doing. Sure, Joey DeFrancesco can out-chop the shit out of me. Good for him! He's a monster! Sure, Larry Goldings has a much better understanding of classical music which winds it's way into his music and as such his compositions might be considered more "advanced" than mine. Cool! They sound great! I would never apologize for what I'm doing or the records I put out unless I played music or recorded music that wasn't honest. Why do I play what I do? 'Cos the shit TURNS ME ON!! It gets me harder than that chick Rimshot was talking about in the front row "with the great set of cans". I love this stuff! I'm not trying to prove anything to anybody most of the time. I have to admit, when other musicians (especially keyboardists) come to the gig, I sometimes take it up a notch, but who doesn't? (Hey Joe, did you notice that when Paul came in last Tuesday? Sara's Dance was GROOVIN'!!!!) I am probably just proving your statement that "... a lot of jazz fans and even musicians are pretty naive on the subject of aesthetics..." That's true, in my case. I don't give a shit. All I want when I listen to music is something that stirs me. It can stir me either intellectually, spiritually, or physically... it's all good! And all I try to do when making music is get to that point where I close my eyes, and my hands and my brain are directly connected and I'm somwhere else and the shit is just flowin'.... if I get there even once a week, I'm a happy musician! And finally, as a summary of this thread: Outside looking in.

Philly, don't forget to check out the homepage and the reason why this forum exists... Organissimo Homepage. That's my organ trio. Welcome!

Maybe he was thinking about himself... Jor-Du... Jordan-Duke.... Duke Jordan. Know what I'm sayin'?
