deus, move to America, it just might be cheaper for you in the long run! Please keep quiet about all these handling and VAT fees...somehow, there is no taxes on items we buy from overseas, just the shipping charge itself which is not too bad... I am sure our politicians would dearly love to tax us on these items.... You might also want to buy your Mosaics from ebay in the future....I have sold many items(Not Mosaics) to buyers overseas and they always ask that we put the value of the item very low, and mark as a gift...big companies cannot do this, but small sellers would be glad to...check out www.usps.com and you will see that if you pay for it, the post office will gladly ship super fast...it is quite safe to do this, would you still run into the middle man issue like you did on this purchase then?????

Good point...in fact, in FYE stores in their bargain bins, I frequently see Mingus, Coltrane live cds from the late 50's, even in the early 60s...can't imagine they are legal....

Some people have too much money! Seriously...too damn much money! Even more seriously...are you the type that has to listen to every cd in short order, and that is the reason they are still sealed? If/when you do open Mildred, and Bunny and if you are not that familiar with them, please start with the last discs, and work backwards! If you start with the early Mildred sounding like she is on helium, you won't make it to the good stuff! Just about the best female jazz singer before WWll besides Billie, IMO.....

Yeah, been selling it for a few years in the States...and you know that sad truth??? It is the best bottled water! Must be the sugar!

A Pisces???? Like myself???? You are not a lefty as well are ya?? You know what I mean! Let's see, we are both white males, political junkies, jazz lovers, baseball lovers, NY Yankee haters ....

Rooster, I as usual, have ALL the answers! Seriously, you seem to have concerns about and I quote... So, I assume you have a fair bit of taped off TV stuff, right? Whatya gonna do with all those tapes without a player? Don't be a playa hata!(Sorry, just got in tonight, and am a bit loopy, bare with me!) So, consider a tape player for tape playing and recording permanently. Do you have cable? I guess it all depends on what you are willing to pay...We had full blown cable (My Mom is more or less housebound at this time, and so lots of TV options are pretty important) and were splitting a nearly 100 a month cable bill! Crap picture...I read that the DISH network had a TIVO like system called DVR, thought that would be good for my Mom....well, I won't bore you (More than I already have that is) with details of the piss poor installation job...in fact, it worked out well, that they didn't have a box for my room....It meant I could get use her DVR box, and watch different channels than she was, in my room! So, what does this mean? You have heard the lame TIVO ads about pausing live TV. I never quite got that...I figured that only could happen when you were purposely recording a program. Not true! It is always ready to be paused, or "re-wound" If you don't change the channel you can go backwards on that channel up to 2 hours! Or if you just need to go to the bathroom, answer a call, pause, then hit play when ready! And, you can also set up the timer to record and store 100 hours of programming! Play a show and tape with your VCR if it is worth keeping! Of course, the dope who installed the system bypassed my VCR, but with some help from their tech support (They actually answer calls pretty quickly) I was able to have it go through my VCR, which needs to be on channel 116! I am a bit scattered with the old thoughts, but damn, it is so cool to just leave my TV on a channel like VH1 Classics, and run the footage backwards (At speeds from 4x to 300X) and catch and record(on tape) any ancient video that catches my fancy...or hit the record button to tape the Simpsons repeat that starts in 1 minute(Without looking for black tape) to watch whenever I want... I don't seem to want to clog up the hard drive space, so I usually delete soon after watching. I am guessing that removable hard drives will be in the near future. Hell, who knows what else it can do, it came with a 80 page booklet, I never looked trough it! Oh, forgot to mention price, didn't I? Well, we got this set-up a month ago, but we were able to get the DVR box more or less tossed in(We did go for 4 box set up, that may be why, but they only had 2 regular boxes and the DVR one) in fact, we are paying less for Satellite than we were for cable, and we can record live TV, have a much clearer picture than we did with cable, better digital music channels, and better info guide to boot! We did have to pay for the first 2 months first though! Oh, if you(Or anyone) does go the DISH network route, please help out Parkertown...cuz I forgot! Just dug up this post on an old thread I started, he even touted the DVR system!

Right now, I can get you a deal for a free 2room systems (one with a built-in Digital Video Recorder! ) with free premium installation, plus $49.99 off your first bill. For my referral, they will give me $60 bucks credit, spread over 12 months. I've got this system and have been totally happy with it's performance. Hell, you can even record the movies including their Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtracks, if broadcast that way. If interested, please PM me. Good luck! http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...02&hl=satellite

A man and a woman were driving down the road arguing about his deplorable infidelity. Suddenly, the woman reaches over and slices the man's penis off. Angrily, she tosses it out the car window. Driving behind the couple is a man and his 12 year old daughter. The little girl is just chatting away at her father when, all of a sudden, the penis smacks the pickup on the windshield, sticks for a moment, then flies off. Surprised, the daughter asks her father, "Daddy, what the heck was that?" Not wanting to expose his twelve year old daughter to anything sexual at such a young age, the father replies, "It was only a bug, honey." The daughter sits with a confused look on her face, and after a few minutes she says, "Sure had a big dick, didn't it?!!"

Hmm, interesting in so many ways! First, Tide lets people badmouth their product on their website...and it does sound like something has changed in the products thru the years...some woman itches using the powder, doesn't want to pay more for liquid tide ! Best comment I saw... I have been washing my hair with tide to stop hair loss I would use cold water unless you don't care about your head shrinking...

Just curious, did you see the film yet Alexander?

Ah yes, the famous "kack crawl". The I-didn't-know-he/she-was-dead or I-thought-he/she-died-a-long-time-ago. Berigan, you don't know who Ann Miller is? She was a babe (dancer/actress) in her day, but kind of became a parody in later years. I think that Molly Shannon's character on SNL ("I'm 50!!") was based on Ann Miller somewhat. Billy was good for the most part, but damn! he's starting to look old. As is Diane Keaton. And Clint Eastwood. And me........... Yes, everyone is looking old, Annie Hall was even there I saw! I should have been clearer, when I said who is Ann Miller, I was mocking the folks in the audience were saying, I couldn't believe the applause stopped near the end, were their hands tired? And show Donald O'Connor running up a wall, not making a face ...it is the last time a billion people will see him....

Hmm, what is wrong with these pictures of Connee Boswell???? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&category=14892

Yep, BOOOOOORING! Too damn long....Billy was funny as usual, though were does he go after the first hour???? Hows about spreading the same time for him throughout the show??? My biggest pet peeve every year is with the people who have died in the last year...just silent clips, ones put together by interns no doubt...who don't even know who the hell Jack Elam, or Jeannie Crain is anyway. Perhaps I am too cruel, NO ONE was applauding towards the end, who the Fuck is Ann Miller??? Get back to the show! The one song I really liked was Belleville Rendez-vous, full of energy after all the dull as dishwater numbers before it...Who was the girl singer, anyway? Bettie, Bette?? Googling kept pulling up Bette Midler, is was not her, but she was good!

Weird, makes one wonder if they have changed the formulas through the years! Who heard of anyone being bothered by detergents? But we have switched to the "free" stuff a few years back...the sheets washed with the perfumed stuff started to bother me all of the sudden! Are they pumping growth hormones in them???

GA, you have made an excellent point, IMO...I felt a bit funny getting Curtis Fuller, and Woody Shaw when they were at last chance, I didn't want to take one out of the waiting hands of someone who really wanted a copy, but I did think, hey give 'em a chance,(Plus they were cheap sets!) and if you don't like them, it's not like I will lose the money I spent on them! Well, turned out I liked the Fuller set, and even though the style of the music Woody and his group played, is not my cup of tea, I got to hear him, and find out what a fine set of chops he had...will check out more early Woody down the road because of this set.....Still have both sets today. Now, if they start pushing $200 someday... B) But, trying to get back to the main point, if people invested in Mosaic sets early on, more might get printed over the years, helping Mosaic's bottom line, and giving more jazz fans the chance to own a Mosaic down the road! Sounds like a win/win situation.....

No, no...not at all!

What Tower give-away???? Funny what you mention about Maxine...She is one of the very few ultra mellow singers I really like!

38????? Man, that IS old! Hope ya gets some good jazz to listen to, have a big dinner, and a great Birthday!!!

Word! being single rules! Damn, I have 1000 cds, which means over the last 10+ years I have spent a fair bit, but not at once! Many were bought used, given as gifts, bought on the cheap from working at Borders....Ask the misses why she doesn't buy used clothes at the goodwill, get some non-name brand make-up, brown bag it to work...suggest a willingness to cut their hair to save some money!

Happy Belated Birthday! Let me the first to wish you a happy birthday next year!

Mark McGuire was a favorite of mine, I really would hate to hear that he did steroids...Jose Canseco I liked from his first day, he was forever missing time because of injuries, the kind it sounds like steroids cause, could be the problem that put McGuire to pasture as well...Bonds and Sosa almost never miss games! And Bonds is going to turn 40 this year...how many 40 year old outfielders are there today??? I would tend to think Maren is right, obsessively working out, and cutting edge diets explain their masses....of course, their trainers might have put just a wee bit of steroids, or what have you in their expensive potions to make it seem like those protein shakes are really special....It seems unfair to me that people just assume that they cannot put muscle on like they do...If I had a personal trainer, (Perhaps one that looked like Jessica Biel? ) and had a dietician preparing my diet, I'd look a lot better than I do from going to the gym 2-3 times a week. Moose, I bet if someone was offering you millions of dollars, and the chance to have tens of thousands of fans applauding you in San Fran every day, you to would be 245 pounds of pure muscle as well! But then again, perhaps the millions and applause are part of your daily life at Target anyway!

I think he was also taking growth hormones when he was trying to make a comeback, around the age of 40... growth hormones I am sure would speed along tumors....not that steroids wouldn't as well...

Might find some "missing" lyrics here...>lyrics< By the way, jsut cuz I posted these lyrics, I still am very straight! If any of the uh...hundreds, yes hundreds of ladies I have been with in the past tell you differently, they are lying! Love the Lee Wiley version, with a pretty hot , yet muted Berigan(Who had a one and off affair with her) FIND ME A PRIMITIVE MAN (Fifty Million Frenchmen,1929) Now, before this modern idea had burst About the women and children first, The men had much more charm than they have today. And if only one of that type survived, The very moment that he arrived, I know I'd fall in love in a great big way. I can't imagine being bad With any Arrow collar ad, Nor could I take the slightest joy In waking up a college boy. I've no desire to be alone With Rudy Vallee's megaphone, So when I'm saying my prayers, I say: Find me a primitive man, Built on a primitive plan. Someone with vigor and vim. I don't mean a kind that belongs to a club, But the kind that has a club that belongs to him. I could be the personal slave Of someone just out of a cave. The only man who'll ever win me Has gotta wake up the gypsy in me, Find me a primitive man, Find me a primitive man. Trouve moi un homme primitif Trouve moi un garcon naif. Quelqu'un tout plein de vigeur, Ces p'tits maquereaux qu'on appelle gigolos ne Pourraient jamais donner le vrai bonheur. J'ai besoin d'un bel animal Pour chauffeur mon chaffage centrale. Et l'homme qui me veut pour capitane Devrait reveiler mon sang tzigane, Trouve moi un homme primitif, vif, Trouve moi un homme primitif. (Find me a primitive man, Find me a forthright young lad, Someone with vigor to spare, Those fatuous beaux they call gigolos could never give me happiness. I must have a gorgeous beast To heat up my own central heat. And he who aspires to be my stud Must reawake my gypsy blood. Find me a primitive man.)

Yeah, saw this on ABC (Very briefly) as well...I imagine this "pastor" has a sheet or two hanging in his closet as well....
