Would you believe I never knew that song was Aldo Nova? Every time I hear that on the classic rock station, I turn it off because I thought it was either Loverboy or Bon Jovi. Can ya blame a guy for being confused? So now that you know, you'll be rockin' out to it, right? We could have Jim change your name to "Big Aldo Nova"!

Yep, one that I started (on the McLaughlin DVD) shows no topic starter. Edit: Also one you started in the musicians forum has the same problem, Jim. But even stranger, one by Jason Parker shows his name as the starter, though his info is lost.

I'm with ya. Now that I did not know!

Okay, but just so you know, I'm not backing you up if say I'm gonna f*Ck yer girlfriend, and the dude decides to kick your ass.

Who knew Carrie Fisher's father was so funky??!!

Finally! I can cop some Raney.

Ouch. Check out that feedback on that Gibson Byrdland. No wonder he's deaf.

Key of A.... ...And then I crushed your face!

Sundog - Samuel Smiths are among my favorites these days.

Hats off to the photog!

If it wasn't such short notice, I would have tried. Can you tell them that you need another plane ticket for the guy who carries your trombone case?

Sorry to say, but just because we're doing some equipment upgrades doesn't mean we're making money at this. I wish that were the case, but so far, we're still paying off our production debts on TITP. Jim is getting that XK3 for the sole purpose of reducing the physical stress of moving gear.

Sweet! Yeah - I haven't actually played one, but I know I can return it if neccesary. I have a good feeling about it, though. I wasn't aware of them until just last weekend, when I saw Fareed Haque playing one. Sounded great in his hands!

I was just skimming this thread for a while from the beginning... I miss AfricaBrass!

In keeping with the theme here, I just placed an order for this, a Stromberg Monterey semi-hollow body:

If Katie Holmes offered me her polenta, I'd have some.

That's a strange twist on the old saw from high school, "Dude, if she were in yer bed naked, you'd do her."

What wine would you recommend?

I'm looking foward to the comments on this thread.

But we Americans love our cars...

Saw something yesterday that had me shaking my head. I pulled up to a red light, in the center lane at the front of the line, with one car to my right in the "right turn only" lane. So, the light, as I said, was red. The person next to me was doing just what I would do: stop there for a moment to see where the traffic was coming from before pulling out onto a busy two lane road. But after about 2 seconds had elapsed, this joker in a Yukon with the shiny wheels and the boomin' system pulls up behind the other car, blares his horn before even coming to a stop, and yells something out the window. I turn to look, and it's some clean-cut suburban looking dude, young, but old enough to know better. We made eye contact, and I mouthed the words "CALM DOWN" - to no avail. The car ahead of him turns out onto the road, and he roars off, shortly thereafter maliciously cutting them off, even though it's two lanes at that point and there's no reason for him to even move into that lane. People like that are a menace to society, but the worst part is, they don't see it that way - they think it's everyone else's fault!

I see they have their new website up: http://www.syracusejazzfest.com/2006/new.php For the second time in our career, we're going on right before Fathead.

That's a big one - might even be THE key realization.

How did it go, Randy? Did you attend (or participate) in his workshop?
