What was that sexual harrasment? Comedy relief? Chloe is a great character. Wouldn't it be a riot is she hooked it up with Jack? All in all this show continues to entertain. Yes, you have to suspend disbelief, but HEY! they never implied anything else. Henderson is fine after being tortured to near death two hours earlier. If I were in CTU I'd be looking at the the guy who does the torturing.

I was alone in defending the show today to the "water cooler" gang. 'The general office take on it today was negative. Too much soap opera. Some people are really bugged by the coma fantasies, but if the show was the way they wanted it it would just be shoot 'em up bang bang. That's not really the way I see it. For me, I'm willing to wait if this is all setting the stage. It all depends on where they take it. PLUS - I was still entertained. the hour went by too quickly. Re the dream sequences. Many of the office people didn't notice the Doctor working on Tony was one of the Monks and in the scene where Tony Blundetto was trying to get Tony into that house they didn't notice the woman who I took to be Tony's mother. When David Chase did Northern Exposure the show got increasingly further out as it went on. Again - that didn't bother me. I kind of dig the fantasy elements. And yes, AJ an ass and I wish I didn't have to say the Steven Van Zandt's acting is more noticably amateurish as his character gets more attention. His wife is GAS to look at however.

I'm in.

Interesting. The "water cooler" talk in my office placed the voice as Gloria, Tony's "goomad" from a while back. I was the dissenting voice in the sense that maybe it was Gloria, it definitley was not Carmela, but I thought maybe it was just an actress doing a voice over that was supposed to be Carmela and she just didn't do that great a job of imitating Carmela. Charmaine is a possibility that nobody "around the water cooler" came up with, but I think it's a good one, being as Tony dated Charmaine at one time. If this dream was wish fufillment, which is my take on it, that would be very interesting.

...And if I remember the dialogue correctly, he's awaiting trial. He can't make bail? I agree - it doesn't ring true.)

Vito's secretly gay, remember? And Amber's fiance knows this. I think Paulie knows the score. He wouldn't let Vito take AJ home. If so - then Vito knows Paulie knows. When was Vito's suicide comment? Before or after Paulie wouldn't let Vito take AJ. That being said...Vito is also an extremely unlikely suicide candidate.

Well, he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't, really. A loser with low self-esteem either way. Could suicide be in the cards for him? I don't AJ as a suicide. He's too much of a self centered spoiled brat. Anything negative in his life is just an excuse for indulgent behavior. He'd just probably eat more if he got depressed.

I thought they kind of belabored a point, but the hour still went by very quickly. The writers have shown they can go anywhere they want with this and pretty much carry it off; so, while I doubt AJ will succeed in an attempt on Junior's life, it's not beyond possibility. I can see several scenarios developing out of that, but I really doubt that's the direction they will take. But...assuming Tony survives (I think he will), is this a life altering experiance for him, or will he be right back to business as usual? I wonder who Paulie is shooting at in those previews? No cracks yet in the Silvio, Paulie, Christopher team. The guy in worst standing here is Vito, but he's a big earner, so he's safe unless he makes a bad move....and he did piss Paulie off already.

Well, in case you haven't seen it, the film is just terrible! And the film quality isn't much better, since it is in the public domain. Still worth watching once for the music. You can buy the vhs for a song, and the DVD is not that much more... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-h...&Go.x=18&Go.y=4 Thanks Berigan. I have the vhs (You're right. I think I payed $1.99 for it.) but it's nice and convenient having a bunch of these things saved to favorites so you don't have to be rewinding tapes ,etc.

Playing bass kind of goes with the instrument. Shirley Scott was capable of playing excellent bass lines and usually played basslines in a live situation even though she usually recorded with a bassist. One of the reasons organ became so popular was the two for one aspect of getting an organist who could play basslines.

Is there any way to save these videos into some kind of file ?

Time for a drink.

Happy Birthday and many more!

Check that cover. With the exception of Mildred Bailey they were all still on the planet in 1956 when this came out. There was a little paper foldover that came in the jacket (no dust covers, by the way) that was a promo for rca jazz albums out at the time. I still have those too. I just left thim in the jackets.

I have that set. It's GREAT ! I was about 10 or so and my local supermarket (not Hinky Dinky) had them for 49 cents each. They're 10" lps and the sound is really good on them. I still have them. The recent RCA 80th anniversary cds have most, if not all, of the same material plus some. Those are presented chronologically with one cd for each decade from the 20s through the 90s.

Wee Willie Winkle Rip Van Winkle Reginald Van Gleason

I googled Van Eps. The photo does look like him.

The guitarist has me wondering too. Is Billy Bauer a possibility here?

I think I got 'em too, but I'll cool it except that I think the bassist is Jack Lesberg.

Who's Tony's underboss? I agree with Catesta that there's going to be a power struggle within the family while Tony is out of commission.

Yeah...I'm beginning to think Lorraine Bracco is there for the "leg" shots.....which I enjoy. I live and work where a lot of this series is filmed. I saw Lorraine Bracco being interviewed one day and got a good look at her. In person she looks great. Better than on the show.

It looks good. That scene where Gino wipes blood on the road map after killing that guy..I wonder if this is going to come into play later on. DNA, etc.

Lady Marmalade Jelly Roll Morton Honey Boy Edwards

I guess you mean the stuff that was originally on Columbia. I just enjoy all of it, but since you dig those don't miss the stuff that came out on Vanguard and was reissued about 4 or 5 years ago on cd.

Only 15% ? You really need to get this, man ! Nobody should talk you out of this.
