From the looks of his web skills with that homepage, I doubt it.

I'm sorry, but Santana's band kicked serious ass at Woodstock. I think they were great in their heyday, which lasted from 1969 to 1972 for me. Three short years of brilliance. Stuff after that has it's moments, but it goes downhill from there.

I appreciate the support, everyone. I'm relying on all of you to police yourselves and act like adults. But I will not hesistate to step in and take the measures I deem necessary to keep this forum a positive place for everyone. WORD!

That is one hell of a story, Deep. Thank you for sharing. What a shame about Eddie. Did you get to play with any organists around D-town in the 70s? I know both Don Patterson and Larry Young were living in Detroit then.

I didn't either. But my buddy contacted John McLaughlin via email and he said that although the idea was nice, he didn't believe Young would want money spent on a tombstone. He thought the money should be spent on the living. His wife confirmed this. But it hardly matters as the author of that original newspaper article went ahead and bought a tombstone himself. So whaddya gonna do?

Yeah, I love that one. Believe me, when you're playing Mustang Sally every night just to make $130, it comes real close to work rather than play.

It should be noted that I don't mind "spam" as long as it's jazz related. Welcome to the board, JazzLoft! Please stick around and post some more.

I dig. Hey, that could be a new product from Apple, the iDig. It's a wireless afro that allows you to download funk from the ethernet right into built-in headphones...

Gosh, you reached 4000 already? That was just put in as a holding term.... how about the new one? Any suggestions? I'm feeling uncreative today.

The coolest thing about CDBaby is that they actually PAY YOU for the CD you sell. Unlike CDStreet. Crazy concept, I know.

I'm just happy the Pacers lost. Boners.

You are a sick, sick, sick individual... And funny as hell!

This error pops up every now and then. I think it comes from too many people accessing the database at the same time. Supposedly this site can handle 100 connections at once. That means 100 people can access the database at the exact same time. Once you're done accessing, your connection is reset and it waits for the next person. This happens within milliseconds, usually. I think what happens sometimes is, for one reason or another, the software doesn't let go of the connection to the database, even though you're not using it presently. For example, when you click on a thread, you access the database in order to retrieve that thread, but while you're reading it, your connection should be terminated since it'll probably take you a bit of time to read the whole thread. Does this make any sense?

My wife says they are available at World Market, if you have one nearby.

It doesn't look like it's going to happen. Too many variables and such. My buddy did visit Larry's widow and she expressed concern that he would not want a tombstone anyway, having converted to Islam.

Thank you for giving me nightmares for the rest of my life, Kari. Now that's funny! But it makes you wonder who he was debating with. Ok, I need to stop thinking about this sicko now. Where's the puking smiley when you need it?

CDBaby is the shit!

Edited for brevity and cussing! I killed the warning system since it doesn't work. Now we're back to one simple over-riding rule: You piss me or my brother off, you're gone. Don't like it? Tough. Everybody here needs to realize that this board is a privilege, not a right. This is my board, my server space, my money, my time, and my rules. I've realized in the past week that you can't please all the people all the time so I'm just going to do things my way and if you don't like it you can hit the road. I have too many important things in my life to worry about keeping various children on this board in line. I have a REAL child of my own coming into the world in less than five months and a house to completely renovate, among other things. Everyone here should know what I expect: I expect you to act like adults and handle things like an adult. Don't say anything here you wouldn't say to the person face-to-face. Easy enough?

I can't help it. I'm a goad.

Damn, that's eerily similair to the first time I met Joey D... or should I say, he met me!

A likely story. It probably went something like this: After the concert, Brad is packing up his gear and has a ton of people around him. After 30 minutes of standing there looking like a doof, Joe gets his chance to talk to him. Joe: Dude, that was AWESOME! Brad: Thanks. Joe: Dude, you remember that time on your one record where you had middle eastern influences on there? Brad: Uh, yeah. Joe: That was great! Brad: I have to go now. Joe: AWESOME!

Oh I'm serious.
