  1. Yes, I am also taking daily fishoil pills, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D.
  2. The term "Jazz" refers to a wide swath of music. There's room for both musician-centered work and "taking it to the people" side by side. I don't see why it has to be either/or. I get as much joy listening to the latest Nessa (re)release of something by Wadada Leo Smith, for example, as I do from Dr. Lonnie Smith (who plays extremely melodically). The simple fact is, people respond more to vocal music than instrumental music. You can be up on stage playing the most cliche, worn-out, sure-to-be-audience-pleasing licks known to mankind but as soon as somebody starts singing, people will instantly pay more attention.
  3. As Homer Simpson once said, "Purple is a fruit." People care more about what their food looks like than what's actually in it. The real problem for me now is regular, over the counter medicines. Try finding something for diarrhea (yuck, I know... but it happens on the road...) that doesn't have dye in it. Good luck.
  4. This was on the CBS Evening News. I'm glad that some consumer groups are pushing this issue but disappointed that the reporting fails to mention that these chemicals are also allergic agents. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4151225n&tag=mncol%3Blst%3B7
  5. I think a better question is why you get personally offended anytime a moderator takes action. It's common internet forum courtesy to keep topics generally within the same thread if possible. It helps deter endless thread clutter and makes searching for information on that particular subject easier. It is not officially a rule but so what? Not every action a moderator takes needs to be backed up by an official rule. End of story.
  6. Yes, finishing up artwork next week. To the duplicator soon. Geez, this has been a ridiculously hard release for really no reason.
  7. I haven't had time to look over the blog software yet. Sorry guys. I'm in Costa Rica right now. Be back home on Tuesday and I have almost two weeks off from the road. Should have time to dig into it then and decide how we're going to handle this stuff. Thanks!
  8. Dig that. Had no idea he played organ.
  9. Context?
  10. Really, really scary. And the nuclear reactor(s) issue is very troubling, too.
  11. I haven't experienced the feeling of deja vu in a long time. I sometimes wonder if it's because I'm having truly new experiences. The "cycle" (whatever that may be) is broken. Just a weird idea before I turn in for the night.

  12. Playing at LeRoy's Classic Bar & Grill tonight with Jeff Shoup and some other friends. We start at 9:30pm. Organliciousness.

  13. Here are some nice videos from our appearance on the radio at KINK-FM in the Microsoft Bing Lounge. http://www.kink.fm/pages/9248588.php Next up, Costa Rica!!!
  14. I'd like to note that Cobb linked this discussion on his FB page. Now that's cool!
  15. Very scary. Here's hoping all will stay well.
  16. I hope they don't win a thing. That entire fiasco is the sole reason I don't watch the NBA anymore at all.
  17. is winning right now.

  18. The hardest part of flying is suppressing my deep rooted annoyance towards other people. :)

  19. And yet another (different) one from AAJ. http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=38950
  20. Heading home tomorrow. Can't wait to see my little baby faces and my moonfaced girl (aka my wife).

  21. Can't believe nobody actually bought that.
  22. I posted about the board updates and the new iPhone app in these threads. I downloaded the iPhone app, but have yet to use it since the mobile skin for the board is really good, imo. BTW, before the update, the mobile skin really stunk.
  23. LA bound. Drove from Vancouver to Sacramento yesterday. Life on the road! At least it's warm again.
