Instantly forgiven!!

Rhetorical question, Jim, rhetorical.

I support the idea. We could call it a weekly plate o' greaze, or something like that!

For crying out loud, Mule, you lose your temper whenever a conservative posts a thought!! (Sorry, this comment belongs in the politics section, but I stopped posting there!) All jokes aside, I might have lost my temper right then and there as well along with mule.

Grant Green is listed on the cover of Mobley, "Another Workout," though he does not participate in the session.

That's exactly right, Moose; and now that the Rush Limbaugh thread has been moved to the politics section, I will no longer post on it; especially since we've got all those anti-right idealogues jumping on it and threatening anyone who might hold contrary opinions. Man, those people need to lighten up. Where, O where is Greg?

I guess I'd feel the same way you do on the issue. Sure, I'd be offended and take my business elsewhere. Makes you also wonder about the loose shop they're running. I'd tell the guy to stuff it, but in a nice way.

Grant Green was the best. However, it should be acknowledged that certain combos worked wonderfully together. Hard to beat Kenny Burrell's collaborations with Jimmy Smith. Those two worked beautifully together. Also no mention of Jimmy Ponder, as someone mentioned, especially on Patton's "That Certain Feeling." No mention of James Ulmer's work with Patton as well. They were wonderful together. And how about the fellow who worked with Jimmy Smith before Kenny did? Was it Eddie McFarland, or something like that? He wasn't bad.

What!! No comment about my toilet reading material thread? I'm outraged. For all the other tripe mentioned in the review, I blame Moose!

Did you pre-order it, Rooster? I mean, well, you never know...

Sorry everyone, that last one was bad. Still, I won't delete it on the grounds of free speech!

Are you sure you don't mean "Offering/looking for" section?

Okay, Okay, you made your point. Do I really want to read this thread? I never was a big fan of that "shaving" thread either! Now toilet reading: that's another matter! Remember, the focus is on the reading material not the, er, other act. Except Free for all and Jacknife started talking about green stuff and all that.

Thanks for the heads up, guys! Guess I'll be sticking with my individual cds and passing on the Mosaic. Man, we gotta be careful about "upgrading" our older stuff!! Seems like the older stuff may end up sounding better as these tapes continue to degrade with all the remasterings. Watch out "Blue Train!!"

A warning here, Jim. This will hardly endear you to the Metrosexual crowd. Just a friendly warning...

Congratulations Jim, You've managed to discover a topic which drags us to lower depths than my toilet reading thread!

I still wear a rolex from my wealthy past.

This brings up another point. I never had my cd collection in mind when I added that coverage. I was thinking of covering structural damage to my home due to earthquakes. I do know enough about insurance law that it is our responsibility to document and photograph our collections if we expect them to be covered for loss or damage. How is the insurance company to know I've got approximately $6,000 in jazz cds or $40,000 in books? No photos or documentations=no coverage. I also have a Royal Doulton figurine collection which I have documented. Those things have a higher chance of rattling off the shelves or crumbling. Haven't documented anything else. Looks like I've got some work ahead of me. My insurance philosophy (particularly for homeowner's coverage): we get insurance not with the mentality that we hope to collect from it one day. You'd be surprised how many people think that way. They feel that since they paid in so many dollars over the years that they won't break even until the get an equal amount of dollars back through claims. The better way is to view insurance as an ongoing expense and hope never to have to collect. For if you do, you will pay through the teeth with more expensive coverage (if you will be covered at all.) Don't make petty claims! You will lose out in the end. There's got to me some serious damage or loss before I pick up the phone to my adjuster. Be warned also that calls of inquiry to your insurance company might be tallied as a "claim" on their computers. Although I have never sold property/casualty insurance, I am licensed to do so. Most of it is still fuzzy to me though!

Yes, lots of tornadoes around here. We get warnings each year, but so far I haven't seen one. My house is vulnerable too, Dan; not just trailer parks. At least we don't have all those creepy crawlies you guys have down there.

Of course I noticed this when I had ordered. Not too happy about it. They seemed to have increased their prices by $2 as they sold for $24.99 last month. I'm fond of Dusty's but Hiroshi is probably the man to see now. Didn't think "Goin West" would last very long at Dusty's. People are staaaarvin for this one!

While you guys get hurricanes, Dan. Nobody gets off, I guess.

Any comments from Californians on that?

Thanks for the interesting links, Quincy. I checked out that map and Ohio seems fairly distant from the epicenter. Toledo just makes it into the light green shaded zone. Still, the story I was told was that an earthquake hit Toledo a few years ago and the epicenter was in the Cincinnati area. Is that another fault? Otherwise, why would the epicenter be located there rather than in Missouri?

I don't wear a wedding ring, and my wife sometimes brings that up. I tell her that real men don't wear rings. Actually, I just couldn't stand the constricting feeling of having a band around my finger.
