Chuck, do you have any animals???

Well put. It's like when a whale ends up swimming the wrong way and ends up a river, or whathaveyou. The media covers it, people are concerned, then people say how that story gets more coverage than a murder does...well, I see it the other way around. I am glad people still have some compassion left........

Duh! Who DOESN'T own this recording, and know this fact???? Actually, never heard it before. Is this the version, or is this the later version of the song??? http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/window/med...15-WMLO,00.html Artistdirect.com looks like it might be an interesting site. I have also heard a few Rudy Vallee songs from Betty Boop cartoons(I think, some follow the bouncing ball clip) that sounded pretty good....Do you have a cd of Mr. Vallee? If so, is it worth getting?

On again, 4:30 PM EST Jan 29th....today in case you didn't know!

Andres Galarraga for one. After hitting 41HR's, driving in 141 RBI's and hitting .318 in 1997 for the Rockies(At the age of 36) he joined the Braves in 1998 and hit 44HR's, drove in 121, and hit .305. And to further defy the odds, after missing a complete season for Cancer treatment, he came back at the age of 39 to hit 28 HR's and drive in 100 and hit over .300 again. You'd think a story like that would warrant a made for TV movie at least....

Interesting. I tried using Google to search for my profile page, but no dice. So, I played around with the numbers at the end of Claude's url (which represent the person's BN member #), and in the process of finding my profile page, I found some people I had forgotten about, such as: member #33 Bo! Forgot all about him! Didn't he go to Outer Mongolia, or some such place for like a year before everything fell apart???

Paid $1.86 at Sams!!!!

That's about right. They were shutting down the Blue Note board when somebody mentioned Organissimo, or gave a link or something, and lo and behold (he's got me doing it) 90% of the BN posters were to be found posting away here. Haven't looked back since. Anybody else recall Greg Maltz standing Ahab-like on the deck of the S.S. BNBB as it began to sink beneath the waves? He was going to indoctrinate all the newcomers into the ways and wisdom of SACD etc. Oh yeah! I was one of the bad boys helping bring down the already badly damaged board by bringing up really old threads, then deleting my new post.(Remember how an old thread rose to the top of the page even when you deleted your new post?) Well, he caught my handle before I could delete, and castigated me severely. Sigh....good times.

It was all me, doesn't anyone remember??? Actually, I remember several of us mentioning daily about AAJ and Organissimo. Several of us would post links to the other sites, while the Bluenote forum was still up, but they soon cut out that function. For shits and or grins, I posted both links in my signature, and you could still click thru to AAJ and Organissimo. Man, seems like a lot longer than 4 years ago.....

Same except when it wasn't. I don't recall all of them, but one that sticks out was Berigan2electric boogaloo. Chris A. didn't like it...........

From the article.... While U.S. life expectancy is 77.6 years, recent studies suggest the average for NFL players is 55, 52 for linemen. Hey, so you lose 20-25 years off your life, you got to play pro football! Why can't the league put a strict weight limit in effect? Say you can't weigh more than 250?(Unless you are above a certain height) Would the game not be as good?

Well, I wonder if they ever checked out the brain of Derek Jeter? He's pretty, plays baseball, is rich, has dated both Jessica Biel and Jessica Alba....but if you don't have that going for you, this guy seems to be on the right track. The happiest man in the world? ... and you can learn how he does it, says academic-turned-Buddhist monk By Anthony Barnes Published: 21 January 2007 To scientists, he is the world's happiest man. His level of mind control is astonishing and the upbeat impulses in his brain are off the scale. Now Matthieu Ricard, 60, a French academic-turned-Buddhist monk, is to share his secrets to make the world a happier place. The trick, he reckons, is to put some effort into it. In essence, happiness is a "skill" to be learned. His advice could not be more timely as tomorrow Britain will reach what, according to a scientific formula, is the most miserable day of the year. Tattered new year resolutions, the faded buzz of Christmas, debt, a lack of motivation and the winter weather conspire to create a peak of misery and gloom. But studies have shown that the mind can rise above it all to increase almost everyone's happiness. Mr Ricard, who is the French interpreter for Tibet's spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, took part in trials to show that brain training in the form of meditation can cause an overwhelming change in levels of happiness. MRI scans showed that he and other long-term meditators - who had completed more than 10,000 hours each - experienced a huge level of "positive emotions" in the left pre-frontal cortex of the brain, which is associated with happiness. The right-hand side, which handles negative thoughts, is suppressed. Further studies have shown that even novices who have done only a little meditation have increased levels of happiness. But Mr Ricard's abilities were head and shoulders above the others involved in the trials. "The mind is malleable," Mr Ricard told The Independent on Sunday yesterday. "Our life can be greatly transformed by even a minimal change in how we manage our thoughts and perceive and interpret the world. Happiness is a skill. It requires effort and time." Mr Ricard was brought up among Paris's intellectual elite in the 1960s, but after working for a PhD in biochemsitry he abandoned his distinguished academic career to study Tibetan Buddhism in the Himalayas. A book of philosophical conversations he conducted with his father Jean-François Revel, The Monk and the Philosopher, became an unlikely publishing phenomenon when it came out in France in the late 1990s. Mr Ricard is to publish his book Happiness for the first time in the UK next month. http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/this_brit...icle2171679.ece

A longtime baseball man, Vern Ruhle has died.... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2738152

Strange, found more covers than their own songs on youtube.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGLNS0nwNEM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poeICkTFC2I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSuZzHzA2Cs

Dan, the rumors have been around for like you said, a month. Cabrera makes sense for us(Wonder why the Yankees didn't want LaRoche, he would hit a lot of homers in that park)and the Yankees would be using him as a 4th outfielder for at least 2 years, wouldn't they? If the 3 arms stay healthy, one of them would be quite a bargaining chip during the season....Braves couldn't get squat when they really needed one last year. And every GM should hate Boras! Actually, Andruw pushed Boras aside during negotiations the last time, and Andruw and (With help from his Dad) signed a below market offer. I just can't see him doing that again.

OMG - if that isn't the second coming of Vanilla Ice, nothing is! How did the recording engineer/tech whatever not lose his lunch and keep a straight face I don't know... I can't even laugh at it. It's just... it's just an orgy of mediocrity. Mediocrity? Does it reach that level? I need to listen to something good, now......

I had seen some of the humor in the promos in the past, but don't they just seem cruel when you see them now??? New `Idol' Season Shows Mean Streak Jan 19, 10:17 AM (ET) By JOCELYN NOVECK NEW YORK (AP) - "Even the juggling was pathetic." With that cutting blow, Simon Cowell ended Jason Anderson's moment in the spotlight. Anderson, all of 16, stormed out of his "American Idol" audition into his family's arms, obscenities flowing as freely as the tears. High school can be vicious enough. But not as nasty as Cowell, who also told the would-be singer/juggler that he "summed up Minneapolis, mate - useless." The "American Idol" juggernaut has become ever more popular in this, its sixth season. But it sure seems meaner, too. At least that's the talk this week as the judges - not just the acerbic Cowell, but the usually genial Randy Jackson and the kind but loopy Paula Abdul - up the torture quotient, taking train-wreck TV viewing to a whole new level. Young or old, pretty or ugly, male or female: No category of contestant has been spared in this week's audition coverage. The judges have even taken swipes at contestants behind their backs, making snide remarks after the singers have left. "Obnoxious," Cowell sniffed of one who'd just been voted into the next round. "What a strange guy," Jackson said of another. And if you argue the contestants are asking for it by merely deciding to appear, consider the supportive boss of Dayna Dooley, who flew her and her sister to Minneapolis from California, so strongly did he believe in her singing. After panning her performance, the panel repeatedly insinuated to Dooley that she was inappropriately involved with her boss. Then they called the nice man in, told him his employee was "terrible," and proceeded to make the same insinuation to him - while his wife sat just outside the room. "It just seems like they're being a lot meaner," says Jessica Rhode. She should know. After the 21-year-old makeup artist was given a thumbs-down by the panel, she collapsed to her knees and wept, begging the judges for some constructive advice. "It would take an hour," Cowell retorted. He told her to be happy: Now she could move on, knowing she'd never be a singer. "That was the worst thing, in my opinion," Rhode said in a telephone interview. "I expected at least one of them to say something nice. I was like, is this really necessary?" The cruelest moment undoubtedly came in Seattle, where a spirited young man named Kenneth Briggs, who liked to compare himself to Justin Timberlake, was told by Cowell: "You look a little odd ... you look like one of those creatures that live in the jungle, with those massive eyes ... a bush baby." Once he left, the three judges were shown cracking up hysterically at the "bush baby" remark. Their behavior brought a rebuke from the hosts of ABC's "The View.""The whole thing, it's terribly sad to me," said moderator Rosie O'Donnell. Even the doors were mean. In a malfunction that seemed expressly designed to deepen the humiliation, one side of the double doors to the Minneapolis tryout room was locked or jammed. That meant Cowell got to smirk or roll his eyes every time a poor soul - Rhode was one of them - knocked into the wrong one during a hasty exit. At least Stephen Horst managed to pick the right door. "That's what my sister told me after the show," Horst says. It was the best thing she could think of, after the pummeling the 28-year old vocal coach took from Jackson. Horst, of New York City, is a positive thinker if there ever was one. "I believe everything happens for a reason," he says. "I had a dream, and I went after it. Life is short, and you have to enjoy every sandwich." So Horst, on his own dime, traveled to Minneapolis and stayed at a hotel during the audition process. He chose to sing Aerosmith's "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing." Maybe it was the song choice, or the singing itself, which veered into a sudden falsetto, or the fact that he was a vocal coach. Jackson went on a rampage. "I thought it was awful," he said. "You shouldn't be a vocal teacher. I wouldn't take vocal lessons from you, I wouldn't tell anybody to take vocal lessons from you." Cowell feigned indignation. "Are you going to take that, Stephen?" he baited Horst. "I was stunned," Horst said. "Randy just didn't like me." He's moving ahead with his music career, and doesn't plan to watch the show anymore. "I need to create a new past," he says. That's the kind of positive thinking that has helped Paris Bennett in her career. Bennett, unlike most of those at this week's auditions, was an "American Idol" success story, coming in fifth last year and eventually earning a record deal. Yet she, too, endured her share of negative comments. Cowell once told her that her speaking voice reminded him of Minnie Mouse. She was 17 at the time. "You can let it knock you down, or you can take it as constructive criticism," Bennett said in a telephone interview. She said her grandmother and her mother, both singers, had taught her to look at the positive, not the negative. "It all just depends on how you take it," she said. She obviously took it well. In March, her debut album comes out. The first single, "Ordinary Love," was released this week. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070119/D8MOE2J00.html

Well, I don't know if you all heard about this, but there was a trade the other day, that didn't involve the Yankees or Red Sox! The braves traded Adam LaRoche to the Pirates for Closer Mike Gonzalez. Now, with Rafael Soriano and Wickman, the braves have 3 closers, which must mean we have a really good pen now.(After having the worst in baseball for much of last year) I am a bit concerned about losing LaRoche. Once he started to play every day,(Bobby Cox loves platooning) he was on fire. Hit .323 after the all star break. I can't find the stat right now, but I think he was 3rd in Slugging in the NL from July on.....When Andruw Jones walks at the end of 2007, it looks like we will have a very weak offense. Which has many Braves fans wondering if we will flip Soriano or Gonzalez for say a left fielder, or future Center fielder. Anyone hear any rumors with their teams? We have heard on and off about Rocco Baldelli, but they want a young, starter with success in the Majors, like Chuck James, but the Braves really, really don't want to trade a young cheap Glavine like starter.

Right after you upload Clinton's speech saying he did not have a Lewinsky performed on him by that woman, Monica , then Hillary's how to turn $1000 into $100,000 in 10 short months in the sexy Cattle futures market video. And please don't forget to add clips Billy McKinney, and his swell daughter Cynthia, explaining why Jews, that's J-E-W-S, are to blame for everything wrong in this world. Exalted Cyclops, Robert Byrd can then give tips on how best to recruit for the KKK. Gosh Al, thanks again for bringing politics into a non political forum! Everyone really appreciates that. I hope you still have the free time to bash Scott Yanow

Thanks for the info!!! Haven't had a chance to check into it much, but will tomorrow(today, whatever) Then, look out world ! I have tons of kick ass clips of Yanni, John Tesh, even Najee doing tributes to Kenny G, Bay City Rollers, etc. You will be so glad to help this music be seen by more folk then ever before.

No argument here. Babe may not be sufficient. Up over and out. She looks a like that girl on Vegas, Vanessa something...

Well, I thought it would be interesting to put a few rare clips I have on VHS up on youtube(And hey, if dopes filming themselves driving their cars through 3 deep swamp water can figure it out, surely I can! )Well, I guess I can't. I burned some clips on DVD and thought I just upload from a folder like I have with photos, but I couldn't. Couldn't even find a folder on the DVD, even though I could play the clips no problem. I figured I would find a website or 2 would have a how to, but my usually wonderous googling skills have turned up nothing. So, won't someone help me, and no doubt others that would like to do this? And if you have done it, why not give a link so we can see your clips???? Thanks!

Rest in Peace..... Not much of a fan of the thing he is playing(called an EWI) but still interesting in a way, and very different than his tenor....

You are fickle! Ithought it was pretty good as well. One thing that seemed glaring to me(But they might not have been able to figure a way around it) was after 900+ people killed in Bus, subway, and train bombings....no show of police, and or military at the subway station??? No long slow check points???
