Wow. What a way to start life!

Happy birthday, you flesh rippin' weasel you!

Happy birthday, David! Just be warned, a bunch of us may show up on your doorstep in November depending on the next election...

If that Farmer/Golson set hit's "running low" before the end of the year, I'm suing you people!!

Oops; on reread, my bad...sorry!

That would be timely. No kidding! The posters on this board have me absolutely beside myself wanting to hear this!! I can't sleep at night... And if I don't hear it soon, I may never sleep again!

Oh, wait; you emptied the can in the trash and used it to heat the water, right?

I know what you mean, Jim, but all I knew was rock. So, I was lured back in the late seventies when the "new wave" stuff hit (mainly by Elvis Costello, Talking Heads and Joe Jackson), then gave up again around '84. Then when I first heard Nirvana's Nevermind I signed up once again for a short ride with grunge. After that I finally discovered jazz and never looked back. Some of us are slower than others...

Brad, I don't think anyone's talking about banning from the forum; as you say, it's Jim's forum, and the BFT is just one small part of it. I assume what everyone's talking about is eliminating participation in future BFTs if someone is abusing the system.

I have great memories of the place, as it led to this place. And I know that some still miss it greatly and have a reverential feeling that no other site can replace. But in all honesty, looking back with the distance I now have from it, those last few weeks there were absolutely hilarious...

If you're still nervous, HBJ, here's a link to another thread that might be useful... http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=10195

Hank Williams sounds old? Well, I guess it did to me once, but not now. I agree that most pop music is "of it's time", though. And that the late 50's stuff playing right now on my stereo certainly doesn't seem as dated as even grunge rock. I wonder if a lot of this is due to our own internal memory system though. I haven't listened to grunge rock, to use the example, on a regular basis since the mid nineties, so if I hear Nirvana or Alice in Chains, my brain automatically thinks "ah. nineties. yes, I remember then..." Where as I've discovered jazz from the hard bop era at various times, so my brain can't spot the period. For instance, I was listening to Blakey a lot earlier than I was listening to Donald Byrd, so my brain can't compress Freedom Riders and Byrd in Hand down to the same period. I don't know; just puzzling "out loud" here, if you know what I mean...

Talk about living in denial. No, really. That's more like "helping a buddy". Or um...shit, my wife didn't fall for it, either...

Speaking as a 46 year old who read all of Louis L'amour's books about ten years ago at age 36, all I can say is...um...what's this thread about?

Hmm. I participated in each discussion for every BFT I received (except for couw's, and I sent a PM explaining why to him). I never got back into it after missing the discussion on that, as they did seem to be coming a little too fast and furious for me to devote the listening time I felt each required for serious participation. But Stefan, come on...nobody is forced to participate; but if you sign up, you certainly ought to feel some sort of obligation to contribute, shouldn't you? I mean, "yeah, free tunes; sigh me up and then leave me the hell alone"? I dunno...doesn't sound "real" to me....

Yeah, I've been good lately myself! Uh...purchases from board members don't count, do they?

Moscow. It's the farthest away from me. Please..NOT San Francisco!! Keep the Olympics on TV where they belong, not in my area!!

Don't anyone tell Chuck that he's supposed to get gifts, not give them!! At least not until I get my copy of this! Happy Birthday, Chuck. Here's to one of the mysteries of this modern age: someone I've never met that I consider a friend!

It would be easy to put in your house somewhere; there's always room for cello...

Alright, Ed!! Good to see you back!

Wow...seems like I should be typing in all caps and misspelling words on this thread...

Back in '84, when the local "modern rock" station (any Bay Area residents remember The Quake?) was switching to something else, the new owners played a solid week of nothing but Eno, with the occasional tag line "All Eno, All the Time" thrown in... It was fantastic!!

She's obviously not a jazz fan; that thing wouldn't hold enough CDs to matter!

I can't help but wonder if the father didn't kidnap her in a custody dispute; her mother may be pulling her hair out trying to find her right now. I wouldn't jump to conclusions on both parents.
