you shouldn't drink so much "Nothing like a depressant to chase away the blues."

hey! There are teams in baseball not called Yankees, or Red Sox! Seeing the Marlins kick the Brave's ass Tuesday(Braves won tonight) reminded me of what a good team they can be....Miguel Cabrera is just 21, even though they dumped two pitchers with excellent stuff (Carl Pavano and Brad Penny) they still have a strong starting rotation. They look like the team to beat... The braves still seem like a 2nd tier team, but until they well and truly lose their division, there just is no point betting against them...

Inmate, Warden's Wife Found 10 Years Later Email this Story Apr 5, 10:55 PM (ET) By RICHARD GREEN (AP) Randolph Dial speaks to the media, Tuesday, April 5, 2005 at the Shelby County Jail in Center,... Full Image OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A convicted murderer and a deputy warden's wife who disappeared nearly 11 years ago have been found living together and raising chickens in Texas. The woman said she was held captive the whole time, staying with the killer out of fear her family would be harmed if she fled. Bobbi Parker, 42, was reunited with her husband Tuesday as authorities tried to piece together details of the strange case. "It looked like a husband and wife who hadn't seen each other in 11 years," Texas Ranger Tom Davis of the emotional reunion. A tip generated by the TV show "America's Most Wanted" led law enforcement to a mobile home in Campti, Texas, where escaped convict Randolph Dial was arrested Monday, said FBI agent Salvador Hernandez. Parker was found a short time later working at a nearby chicken farm; the two were living under assumed names in the trailer outside Campti, a tiny town near the Louisiana border. Parker and her husband Randy have two daughters, who were 8 and 10 at the time of the disappearance. The family still lives in Oklahoma, where the escape occurred. Tanya Joy Parker, the sister of Randy Parker, said the two children did not make the trip to Texas. "They are elated, but after 10 years you'd be a little stunned," she said. Sheriff Newton Johnson had said that Bobbi Parker wanted to stay on the chicken farm, but Hernandez said this was a misinterpretation. Hernandez said that while it is unusual for someone to be held against one's will for so long, it is not unprecedented. "There have been cases of this kind and typically this will result when someone believes family members might be in danger," Hernandez said. The FBI continued to question Bobbi Parker on Tuesday in Texas. Residents of Campti thought something wasn't quite right about the pair over the years. They kept to themselves, never engaged in any personal conversations and avoided going to the nearby town of Center. Their trailer is secluded, near a red dirt road and sitting on a wooded lot across from five long metal chicken houses.

She said she told co-workers "something ain't right with them people." Dial, a sculptor and painter, was convicted of the 1981 murder of a karate instructor. He had obtained trusty status at the Oklahoma State Reformatory, and he ran an inmate pottery program with Bobbi Parker and had access to the couple's home during the day in staff housing on prison grounds. Bobbi Parker's mother received a phone call from her the night of the 1994 disappearance traced to Hurst, Texas. "I can't talk now," she said, crying. "I'm OK. Tell the kids I'll see them soon." A day later, she made a second call, this time from Fort Worth to a friend. It was the last message her family got from her. "Tell the kids I love them and I'll be home soon," she said. In a jailhouse interview with reporters Tuesday, Dial, 60, said he took Parker at knifepoint when he escaped.

"But now I don't. Doing a life sentence, at my age, I wouldn't trade it for the past 10 1/2 years." Dial said their relationship was never romantic and that they lived in separate rooms. He likened Parker's relationship to him as "Stockholm Syndrome," where kidnapping victims become sympathetic to their captors over time, often out of fear of violence. "She was living under the impression if she ever tried to get away, I would get away and I would make her regret it, particularly toward her family," Dial said. "I didn't mean it, but she didn't know that." But some residents said if the woman they knew as "Sam" was being threatened, she didn't act like it. Almaguer said Parker regularly came into the store by herself to cash Dial's payroll check. She said clerks sometimes told her the bank would cash it for her, but Parker would say she was too busy, or didn't want to make the two-mile drive to town.

Full Image When Parker did go to town to shop at the main grocery store, she wore a straw gardener's hat - pulled tightly to her head with a scarf - and a baggy dress, Almaguer said. She said people would laugh at how she looked, as if she was in disguise, Almaguer said. Charles Sasser, a former Tulsa homicide detective who wrote a book about Dial, said the escaped inmate called him in 2001. Sasser also said he spoke with Bobbi Parker, and heard nothing from either one to indicate Parker was held against her will. "I don't believe it," he said. "I spoke to her and told her to call her children." Sasser notified the FBI, but agents were unable to determine where the Dial call came from. Dial said he lived in other Texas towns, including Houston, before moving to Campti. The sheriff estimated Dial had lived in the area about five years. "Being a small, rural East Texas area, I guess it felt like a good place to be," he said. http://apnews.excite.com/article/20050406/D899KVDG1.html

Just tell everyone what year she was born in! She's gonna break a lot of hearts! Is she or the photographer a fan of A Clockwork Orange???

Well, clearly my eyes are failing me...I would have bet money Jazztropic asked was this cd a good place to go after(Look for) the Pasadena concert, not start after the concert...time to take some geritol

Well, for getting the Pasadena concerts Jazztropic it should be . The Classics won't cover the concert, correct??? The informative booklet makes getting the box worth it as well. High on an Open Mike is the name of disc 2 in this set, and doesn't cover the concert, disc 4 does though. I'll definitely get the classics someday! Well, as long as Classics is able to stick around....

I'd like to hear that record....

You must be old...at least older than the guy in the Avatar! Berigan! Flattery will get you everywhere! (I think...?) The avatar pic is from last year. I like to take my teeth out and play with them now and then. My mind reminds me (often!) of my age. Well, I just hope you have since cut your hair...there is only room for one long haired hippy on this here board, and that is me....

I joked to the friend who sent the link to me that I should have died 5 years ago! I got a "74".....36 more years... http://www.nmfn.com/tnetwork/longevity_game_popup.html

Just checked out the photos again...Man, look how drenched in sweat they were! You have to be jazz crazy to have a jam session after a long day and sweat like a pig! Never heard the Dreyfus set. I just held on to the old RCA set...it's not all that bad...

Your best bet would be to get the 4 cd set from Proper Bop for the People (I think the cd you mentioned is from that box set.) I know some people have issues with this label, but they always have thick, informative booklets, discographies, and decent sound. It's just under $25 at Amazon... track listing at allmusic. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&t...10:1fkpu3t0an8k

Let us know how the sound it to your ears! I only listened to it on a listening post at a B&N and it was so bad (And I can easily listen to Acoustic recordings) I thought I would never get it...think I posted about this awhile back, just wonder if some of the early batches had something wrong with them...Batches??? What do I think these are, cookies?

Great Photos Lon! Now, here is where it gets weird...I recalled that Chick Webb died in 1939...allmusic says...Jun 16, 1939 in Baltimore, MD!

You are a brave man admiting that Ghost! Of course, I see your broke White Lightning's heart along with mine....love 'em (once)and leave 'em!

You must be old...at least older than the guy in the Avatar!

I've never met anyone from this board! Let's keep it that way!

I really don't know who will win, but the Red Sox and Yankees seem to have more question marks than last year...Cards fooled me big time last year, they seemed so complete, but teams with soft tossers (Braves for a long time example) don't win world series, plus their batspeed sucks... so, why not go with other people's opinions instead! Look who the "experts" predict as a WS team!!!! http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?page=05expertpicks

Oral Sex Safe and Not Really Sex, Say U.S. Teens CHICAGO (Reuters) - One in five U.S. teenagers say they have engaged in oral sex, an activity that some adolescents view as not sex at all and certainly less risky than intercourse, a report released Monday said. The survey of 580 children with a mean age of 14-1/2 found 20 percent said they had engaged in oral sex, compared to 14 percent who said they had engaged in sexual intercourse. In addition, one-third of the multi-ethnic 9th graders surveyed said they intended to have oral sex within the next six months and nearly one-fourth planned to have intercourse during the period. It was more common for boys to have performed oral sex on girls than vice versa, the report said. Previous studies and numerous campaigns aimed at deterring teenaged sex have focused on intercourse, but as many as half of adolescents experience oral sex first, the report said. The risk of transmitting infections, including HIV, is significantly less with oral sex than with intercourse but is likely underestimated by teenagers, said the report in the journal Pediatrics. Youngsters who engage in oral sex rarely used condoms or dental dams, even though herpes, hepatitis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis as well as the virus that causes AIDS can all be transmitted orally, it added. "Given the suggestion that adolescents do not view oral sex as sex and see oral sex as a way of preserving their virginity while still gaining intimacy and sexual pleasure, they are likely to interpret sexual health messages as referring to vaginal sex," wrote lead author Bonnie Halpern-Felsher, a pediatrician at the University of California, San Francisco. "Adolescents also believed that oral sex is more acceptable than vaginal sex for adolescents their own age in both dating and non-dating situations, oral sex is less of a threat to their values and beliefs, and more of their peers will have oral sex than vaginal sex in the near future," she wrote. http://reuters.myway.com/article/20050404/...LTH-SEX-DC.html

Ok, that's it we are gonna fight now!!!! You know...except for the crappy dixieland.....

On the Bud Freeman Neatwork (1935-45) cd there is a version of The Buzzard I haven't heard anywhere else. Bunny Berigan and Bud Freeman in particular really changed their solos. It's better than the released take IMO. On the Benny Goodman RCA cd the Harry James years, they have a version of Life Goes to party (Take 2) that is much faster, more energetic than the released version. Gene Krupa has a lot to do with this. On the cd Okay, America!: Alternate Takes and Rarities The Boswell Sisters. There is a hummed version of Sing a Little Jingle that is so much better then the released take, it ain't even funny! 3 versions of Was that the Human Thing to do that to me shows no one in the 30's improvised better than the Boswell Sisters.

A very poignant observation no matter what side you're on. I agree with this. Ok, Berigan. I see where you're coming from now. (though I don't really totally agree with all of the statements made). Will you at least try to? ( In honor of the departed)
