Have a good one, Chuck. I'm looking forward to our next meeting. B)

Me too. I played a benefit a few years ago in a room full of his paintings. Intense. Wow! Cool, man. B)

I'm no expert, but I usually feel better after gazing at some of Alex Grey's work.

Ask Sangrey.

I would if I could! It was the perfect setup for me before I got transferred. I could hop on my bike and soon be on a paved bike/walking trail that goes straight downtown. I didn't even have to deal with traffic as long as I was on the path. What was interesting is that it took me about 15 minutes to drive there, and only 20 to bike. And of course the bike path was much more interesting. I've been given a glimmer of hope that I might be back there soon.

And, under my proposal, its likely that Arnold would have the right to drive his Hummer. Then I'm sorry, Dan, but I cannot support this initiative.

The first civilian to be seen driving a Hummer on the streets of L.A. in the wake of Desert Storm is now the current Governer of California.

Hi Tyler, I briefly checked out the chart and gave a listen to the MIDI playback. I'm hesitant to make any judgements based on that; as you stated, the MIDI isn't especially musical. But, I did hear some interesting (and pleasing) movements in the voices in the early section. I can't say if all the different feels work together well; I'd have to hear an actual band play it to get a real sense of that. Just keep at it. If the work is true, then you will no doubt attract the right musicians to help you bring it to fruition. If it takes a few years, so what? Time is all we have. Best of luck! Joe p.s., the Musicians Forum would be the best choice for something like this, I would say. But, no biggie.

I hope you continue to share your thoughts with us for a long time to come. Happy Birthday!

Um...because we are a fearful and ignorant race that can't even get past the differences of skin tone and culture among our co-inhabitants on this planet? Because they would likely either encounter the barrel of a shotgun, or the scalpel of a scientist? Perhaps they have landed, quietly, in remote locations, to make contact with those few spriritually advanced individuals among us who would be able to accept their reality. Just a thought. Which just goes to show you: UFOs are about religion, not science. These are things you either "believe in" or don't, not things to be scientifically proven. Well, UFOs are simply Unidentified Flying Objects. I have seen things in the night sky that were flying or hovering, which for the life of me I could not identify. So as far as that goes, UFOs absolutely exist. Scientific history consists of things being discovered that were previously not known to exist. Hypothoses, theories, and hunches were tested, and proven or disproven. Uncharted regions of the earth were explored, new species found. Before DNA, or germs, or the Western Hemisphere was proven to exist, did these things have no reality of their own? Was it a matter for religion and for fools to believe in or not? BTW, religion and spirituality are two separate things. The first is imposed from without, the second is generated from within.

Thank you for posting this. And thank God for Wayne Shorter!!!

Thanks for the recommendations, Jim. I'll be keeping a watch. Can't see those two posted images.

Excellent!!!

I don't feel so bad about getting that confused now! I knew that Useless Landscape was an alternate title for one of those tunes; I just couldn't remember which one.

your first thought wasn't that the dress made him look fat? No. I thought, "Man, they weren't kidding about Barbara Dennerlein's nose and lips!"

I love coming in at the tail end of threads like this. I saw that picture and thought, What the hell???

If You Never Come To Me is the one I was thinking of, too. That's a very good one, with that contrary motion in the beginning.

It's one of the most frustrating aspects of my life at this point. Especially since I'm doing what amounts to hard, repetitive labor right now; I'm just shattered at the end of the day. My hands and wrists ache sometimes. If I get in a half hour of guitar in the evening, that's a good day.

"Just ask Paul; Conversations with Himself"

You guys are way ahead of me. So Danco Samba is one that the trio does fairly regularly. We also used to do Useless Landscape (is that the one I'm thinking of?), which I like a lot. I've played a few of the other ones Sundog mentioned, but it's been a while. They do work great on guitar, for sure. Oh yeah, I learned a solo arrangement of Sad is to live in solitude... I can't even remember these titles, and my real book is nowhere to be found. Lame!

I'll be seeing him in Detroit July 30th. Should be fun.
