The photo does tell a story indeed and you did say what you thought about BC before. Ok, fair enough. Never mind. Thanks for responding.

I think you should comment, Cyril. We're just with a few women here on this forum. I'd like to know what you thought when you saw that cover. Maybe you feel it is beyond any comment and obvious and it probably is, but I think that we as women especially should comment. I still shiver seeing it, it hurts me really. Well, I hope you will anyway.

Oh migh! So this is the cover of a magazine, or a newspaper? I feel quite 'mixed' seeing that. The empty chair is quite a heavy statement too. Those women are brave. It is a big deal taking that chair.

Damn me, I should have got Buddy Tate! That's mid fifties, I think. Never heard any of Tate from that period. In fact, I think he only did two sessions between about 1950 and '58. This really shows he shouldn't have been left out in the cold. MG It definitely is one that did make me smile from the first listening run on. It's so nice to learn about these! I can't believe I didn't recognize "On Green Dolphin Street" and then that "Mission Impossible"- theme, it does sound a bit like the one from "The Saint" in atmosphere I think.

Hi Thom, Some tunes seem to have two numbers, but I'm naming them in order of the list. This is how they appeared for me. Here are more my thoughts, not so much as solutions: 01. 6:24 She got it – album: Buddy Tate and his Celebrity Club Orchestra (composer: Arnett Cobb en Buddy Tate) Nice song. Personnel: bass –John Williams; drums – Billy Stewart; piano – Skip Hall; tenor sax – Buddy Tate; trombone – Dickie Wells; trumpet – Dud Bascomb; 02. This has some “The Saint” like intro, if you know what I mean. Nice theme. It doesn’t sound familiar. Steady rhythm section. 03. This doesn’t sound familiar either. Nice theme by the sax player. Not all is my thing I must say. I do like the bass part. 04. A bit ‘Take 5’ like intro, or at least it reminds me of it. Sounds like a tune that could be used in a movie. It gets a bit chaotic at some point. 05. Lovely beginning. Nice theme, sounds familiar but I can’t come up with a title. I really like this one. Nice rhythm, invites to dance. I can imagine dancing a samba on this one. Yes, lovely song. 06. Seems like a “canon”; not sure whether that is the correct word in English but I can’t seem to find a translation of it. A bit chaotic at some point. Sounds a bit like “Papa was a rolling stone” at some point. I like the building up and then getting back to really small. Curious who this could be. 07. I have no idea. Could also be film music. It has something “futuristic”. 08. Reminds me a bit of a song of Abdullah Ibrahim, not sure it is him. I don’t know the song. 09. Oo! Let’s Cha Cha! Nice! Sounds like a Latin blues or at least a 20 bar blues at Latin rhythm which is a nice touch. A touch of “Santana” it seems. I have no clue. Another one that would get my feet up there (meaning dance floor). At sessions they've called me the Latin singer, so I have a bit of a thing for these rhythms. I do like swing as well. 10. Nice. I think I know the theme, but I can’t come up with a title right now. 11. Good song for practicing your long notes. I have no clue. I really like it though. 12. Nice bass intro. Another Latin song. 13. jazz waltz. I love those. Beautiful flute theme. 14. Not really my thing I must say. I find it a bit too ‘hasty’ playing. I sounds a bit chaotic because of that. 15. personnel: John (what’s his name?!) Lol. No, I have no clue, but he is called out. I hear part of a children’s song I know. In our language it is called “Green is grass”, but that probably is not the correct title in English. Another jazz waltz, but not as nice as the other one. At least I don’t like it as much as that one. It starts nice, but I don’t like the sax solo that much. Thank you for nice BFT, Thom,. There are quite a few songs I really like and they all sound new to me, so I’m curious to find out about the musicians. I think no. 5 is my favourite. Kind regards, page

Hi guys, while I have no clue what those screws look like. I do have a solution for this problem I've used on other gear that doesn't need to be taken down every time. Put a little drop of weak glue (not the one that will last for ever like the 2 seconds one) at the place the screw needs to hold. When the glue dries, it will hold the screw and it won't move. Of course carrying a screw driver is a solution too. You could also use hairspray for it, but I don't figure you guys would carry that with you to a performance. Kind regards, page

Happy Birthday!

Ah,how I would like to get my hands on that arrangement!

Ah, that's a shame. Maybe L can take the backseat and shoot some? Or is she as 'chick(en)' as me? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnyB0a8G71Y

They both arrived home safely. Of course she could have stayed with me when she had wanted, but she preferred to go home since she didn't bring anything. It will probably ease down a bit tonight. Another friend still on his way home.

Well, I like it despite it being worth so much.

code red, weather alert in the windmill area. My girlfriend offered to come over for a visit instead of having coffee in town so I wouldn't have to cycle there in this bad weather. Storm, rain. Now she is still on her way home. Busses and trains won't ride. I called another friend and now he is taking her home by car. I will be happy when they'll both be back safely at their homes.

Nice pic, Hutch. Have fun! My friend had something similar, only that was a Ducati. I once had to drive behind him in my car after I had brought him to the garage to pick it up from repairs. I found that a bit scary since I wasn't used to following a motorcycle and was afraid to get too close. I've never dared to take his backseat so far, although I did on his smaller motorbike. He has another one know, can't remember the name of the brand. (btw nice to see your face after speaking/sharing board talk all these years!) Cool jb. Take some pictures of that beautiful Ohio next time? Have fun too!

Happy Birthday!

Hey, I thought I was being cynical... Everything Jim? I hope not. edit: ah, you've said "near". That's a relief. Still...

Yes, I know and understand. I was just being cynical.

I think the idea behind that is: "When you are payed to keep your mouth shut, you'd better do so or you'll loose what you've "earned" ".

Happy Birthday, Bebop!

Happy Birthday!

Those are lovely, Jim. I can imagine you're proud of her!

Is there a thread where members post the (visual) art they've created? I can't find any other than this one that comes the most close.
