As much as I liked the people and business generally, the only way I could ever justify Red Trumpet purchases was when they had a 25 or 30 percent off sale. Fortunately, this was just about every week. But the sales flyers have stopped coming.

Chet Baker - Cause of Death - Defenestration. One of my all-time favorite words. (The odd mind of a Laitn student.)

Strange array of jazz types listed. Wardell Gray and Art Blakey, but no Art Pepper or James Moody, just by way of example. Do a text search on 'jazz'.

STRESS? WHAT STRESS? I've gone from listening 40 hours a week to 40 minutes. 100+ hour work weeks. Constant travel. No 'portable' music, most of the time. Next time I see my CD collection (January '06), I'll try to pull out a couple of the recommendations here. Like the Coleman/Bierach, which I have only vague memories of. Sorry, don't mean to gripe. Personally, I'm a Ben Webster-for-stress-relief guy. No one better at low to moderate tempos.

As much as I believe that turnabout is fair play, and I'd like to make you jealous, my main 'road bike' ride is a 31-pound bike built around a frame I picked up from one of those bike touring companies, after the end of its useful life. Straight-guage steel. Nasty-looking unsculpted lugs. Cantis. Fenders, half the year. But it gets me through most of a 25,000km/year 'habit'. Still, I do appreciate a nice-looking ride, just as I do a fine auto...provided the bike doesn't have Shimano components. But I tend to be hard on bikes/cars, and abusing a beautiful bike would bother me - it might even prevent me from taking that off-road ride in the sleet or doing the spur of the moment CX. Can't have that. So, for both of us, ENJOY!

Heck, I'm not even sure where I am right now. I'll have to call the front desk.

Can't help but wonder if the author's husband is a cyclist. And if a guy named Schrader has some inflation problems, I shouldn't be surprised.

This is old news - probably a decade or more - and I thought fairly well discredited by now. Even after 30 years of 25,000km a year, I'm not paying any attention to all those Viagra ® ads in my e-mail. And for any cyclists out there, I'm doing most of my riding on an unpadded, circa 1974 Unicanitor. And if that won't do it...

Hey, this is a friend. I'm not playing the G-Man in her new house. I'm forming the impression that the electronic deterrents are mainly hokum.

A friend of mine bought a house. It's in a semi-rural area. There are mice. I've never dealt with mice before. She'd prefer to just keep them away, and there appear to be 'repellents' for this purpose, both chemical and electronic. Any experiences or opinions out there? Anything appreciated.

'Git it.

To each their own, but I've never intentionally had anything autographed for the purpose of selling the item at a profit....or with the thought that I can re-sell it later for whatever reason. Some of my autographs are personalized, some aren't; I'm happy to have met the artist and to have a special mememto of that meeting. ← I agree. I'm not sure I could ask someone NOT to personalize an autograph. What would he/she think?

Price is fairly high*, but this is probably my second favorite general interest magazine. It's turned away from fiction and literature for a more purely political focus - though not purely political, still a few arts and other features. Intelligent, well-researched writing. * I think I'm paying more like $9.99 a year.

Dizzy and Bird might be considered a centerpoint, but my love spreads backward and forward from there - virtually a whole century's worth!

Welcome. Pedro Iturralde! I've got his Blue Note stuff (including with Hamp Hawes and Jazz Flamenco) and enjoy it quite a bit.

If you order these now, you can combine ship and pick up the any or all of the September RVGs in the same order and save a few bucks on shipping at CDUniverse.
