I think I heard he was playing a little in Europe and that his health may be an issue as well.

I wouldn't mind that skyscraper gig, that would be cool!!! I used to do a lot of aerial photography, hanging out of small planes and helicopters with no doors, hot air balloons and building roof tops, nice view! Now those other jobs, I don't think I could do them; bullets whizzing by my head and football sized turds ......not this boy! Mark

why would he be? To hear all the Laker fans before the season started, they shouldn't have lost a game all year with the additions they bought in the off season.

Soft Drink!

Great news Jim, congratulations to you and your wife ! Mark

Thanks Joe, I sent him a PM. Anyone else??? Mark

I'm going to make a trip to Detroit to see Donald Byrd, Barry Harris and Curtis Fuller at Baker's Keyboard Lounge. Having not been to Detroit in some time, I have a few questions. 1.) Who's been to the club and what's it like? 2.) Is there anything else in the vacinity to do as I may be there for a couple days? 3.) What's the surrounding area like, should I stay close by, is the area safe? I got the ok to photograph the show and a preceeding awards ceremony, so I tought I would take them up on it. Any helpful tips would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark

I'm going to an open house on Saturday for about 60 artists who open up their studios to the public two days each year, should be much fun. On Saturday night, I'm going to dinner with my family for my birthday, which was this past Wednesday. Sunday, working around the house, lots to do now that winter is gone (I think). Mark

You've got mail!

Thanks for all the warm wishes on my birthday!!! Unlike Deus, I only get one birthday a year and really appreciate each of you taking time out from your busy day to wish me well. I probably won't be tipping any hops tonight but will be opening some of Napa's finest during dinner with my better half. I also hope to open a few packages fill with music (or at least a certificate or two from Mosaic). I have six sisters so the odds are pretty good! In regards to Noj's post, I'm not sure what to say except I've heard those words many times before (the "oh yeah, you're an animal, give it to me" words) . Thanks again to all! Mark

...oh, I missed John Scofield w/Steve Swallow on bass! Mark

I will now be on my best behaviour .

Damn....glad you're OK! Some of those busses and trucks are so big, they can run over a small car and not even feel it! Mark

You guys kick ass! That is some seriously cool work!!! Thanks! Mark

Now that's really cool!!!! Daaaaaaaamnnn!!!

Hank Crawford will be glad to know his album is similar to this !

Thanks AB, your's is on the way in the next day or so! Damn, you guys are BAD!!! Ah, what the hell, here's one more! Mark

TOO COOL!!!

couw, I showed Fathead the actual photograph that you did your "thing" on. I told him my better half thought he looked menacing and he just laughed. He's the nicest guy in person, I gave him the photograph and had him sign one for me. Dan, sorry to hijack the thread but I just learned how to post photographs, so I've gone a little crazy . Mark

....and that's all for today!

....and Frank Morgan!

.....George Coleman

....the good doctor!

Couw, Man, that is so cool!!! I have a ton of jazz photographs; I wish I could do that thing you do!!!!.......damn, that's cool!!!! Mark
