My Billie box will hold two peanut butter sandwiches and a chocolate bar. The Columbia Hot Five box, on the other hand...

Many of them found this set particularly compelling, perhaps not a classic, but... That said, there are actually some members who listen to the music....sorry, the needle drop.

Doris Day has long been a favorite of mine.

Lester obviously has a real interest in the music and its history, especially as far as blacks are concerned. Ever wanted to share a special interest with others, Dan? His posts are no skin off your teeth, so why not simply ignore this thread if it bothers you? Try to see that this forum is also one in which we share mutual interests.

But how tall was he? But how tall was he?

I have long been under the impression that Wynton M is frozen—or does he just play that way?

Yesterday, I rushed to the supermarket for provisions. I wasn't going to get caught having to go out whilst this icy monster raged. Today, I woke up, looked out my window, and counted no more than 234,986,000 snow flakes falling on Central Park. By the time I stepped out of the shower, there was not one flake in sight, and none have appeared since. I wonder how much all the sophisticated weather predicting gadgetry costs.

I would say all those things—if they applied.

What matter is the nationality of this cyberpig? Would you say Danish cyberpig if he/she were Danish? AAJ was hacked a couple of months ago as well (nationality of perps unknown). Yes, but only if he really was Danish and I needed to identify him as such in order to protect those who weren't. This guy was so vile that there was a time when one only had to mention "the Canadian" and people knew instatntly who you were talking about. Have I answered the question to your satisfaction? Sorry, but I have absolutely nothing against Canada nor its nationals, but there's a pig in ever poke, as my great aunt would say under her breath. She was Danish, by the way.

For years—thanks to a highly offensive Canadian cyberpig, whom Mike R. gave carte blanche—AAJ has been one of my top stay-away-from choices. I would no more go back there—even for a moment—than I would Jazz Corner. :tdown

I am far more bothered by Phil's fantasies than I am by the fact that he talks way too much. In fact, I think I could put up with the latter if he didn't make things up.

They started it without him.

And distorts the truth too much.

My man, my man! That was his favorite expression, the one he greeted you with.

I would imagine that anyone who might have taken the Grammys seriously and saw last night's show would think otherwise now. I found it interesting/sad that the best music was heard when the dead were being honored—what does that tell us? I was glad to see Clark Terry, but he deserves more than a very quick audience shot. I had hoped that, with the departure of Pierre Cossette, the production would at least see improvement. It got a lot darker, but—except, perhaps, for the Pink aerial thing—it was a horrid mess. Other than that, I repeat my comment from the last couple of years...

I first met John about 30 years ago, in Copenhagen. I am very sorry to hear that he passed away.

Most "popular" or most used? How many users do you think actually opted for IE? How many would have used something else if it had been available to them when they bought their PC?

IE is a free browser, so why would anyone keep using it 8 years after it has been upgraded? That does not make sense to me. I don't recall the version I last had installed (in my Mac), but I have always found IE to be problematic, so I simply git rid of it a couple of years ago. I am forced to use Windows xp on my Mac for an ongoing job I'm doing, and it is so-o-o-o clunky. I also don't like the fact that it will occasionally upgrade itself without asking if I want it to. Apple always gives the user an option.

How about The Scam Writers' Guild of America? Or perhaps an instructional manual:Scamming for Dummies Wasn't there a Broadway show tune called Scamalot?

Looks like another case of Microsoft having created a hole for hackers. Here's the BBC story on this.

Cole slaw?

Sorry, nof, you are so wrong about that. Phil Schaap never bought as much as a clap on e-bay, or anywhere else, for that matter. He grabs applause from 1940s JATP tapes and runs it through his aging system. That said, I am told that he once traded 3 hairs from an early Eddie Condon mustache for a 15-second Dudley Fosdick cough fragment, allegedly recorded on March 4, 1926. You can hear the Fosdick cough on several of Phil's reissues, including the Benedetti box, where he wanted to combine it with a rare Cozy Cole sneeze to make a separate track, but was persuaded by the Mosaic people to save Cozy for another box. I often wonder of the Cole fragment was ever used. Anyone know?

Details? Here is an obit.

Schaap's version is so noisy that I actually wondered if he hadn't added some. Remembering a complaint that came in from the late Nick Perls and his so-called Blues Mafia when we released the first of the Bessie Smith double LPs: You shouldn't have removed the surface noise. Perhaps Schaap should have spent more time listening to the music and less searching around for audience "atmosphere," coughs and sneezes.
