There's a big coffee drop dried on the left "CTRL" key, and my ears have started growing hair. Does anyone really need to know this stuff?

Nah. Wouldn't want to bruise any fragile egos over there... You know, it's strange that when JC or AAJ is down, and threads are posted here, no one seems to mind, yet at those two spots mentioning Organissimo being down seems to cause all kinds of consternation. I guess it all boils down to that corporate thing Jim Sangrey talks about. I always thought he was overstating it a bit, but apparently that was my naivete, not his error...

Sorry, Patricia, I didn't notice your reference, only Groper's reaction. I have no use for Jr. either, but see nothing "guilty" in the pleasure of listening to Hank Williams! Or Wills, Bill Monroe, Jimmie Rodgers (the REAL one, of course!), etc. Great stuff!

Have you ever noticed in the movies that you can always spot the victim? While everyone else is yelling "shark", they never even see the fins approaching...

Go back in your corner and play with yourself, little man...

Well, it took me long enough, but I finally made a decision. Imagine my surprise when I found that my vote boosted Relaxin' up into a tie for first! Figured I was out of step for some reason for picking this one... Still, doesn't everyone pretty much pull all four out at the same time?

Mark, I was thinking it over several times, too. But generally, I am slowly and unforcedly working my way back (first from modal/free to bop, and now to swing and earlier things), and I like almost anything I have yet encountered. And if I don't like it now, there might still come a time I will... Anyway, I think I do have some sort of idea of what I will going to hear. ubu Just to make sure I wasn't misunderstood, the recommendation I hesitate to make is to skip disc one. As for buying the set, I don't hesitate at all. It was a very delightful surprise for me! I'm working my way back as well, although as I started at hard bop, I find myself working forward at the same time.

Hey, Groper, do you really think there's an "anti-CW bias" here? If so, you need to poke around a bit more. Check out the laudatory posts concerning Bob Wills, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Buck Owens, etc. I think you'd be surprised. Is there an "anti-Deep bias" among some of us? Well, yeah; some people just can't stand a noisy smelly drunk. Call it a personal failing if you wish. By the way, sis anyone else bothered by Groper's new "Sad troll" designation the way I am? What the hell's the difference between this and calling a poster a "twerp"? It comes off pretty chicken shit if you ask me. Not that anyone did, of course, but still...

Which explains why I can never seem to find it anymore. Then again, after the felt pen thing...

It's gone, and not available to be stuck in Joe Christmas's ear. ON THE OTHER HAND, the four cats are still available...

Synonym for weakling, something a drunk should have first hand experience with...

Oh my stars and garters! Uh...make that playback.... As far as the green pen goes, doesn't anyone else remember this back when CDs first made their appearance? I barely do; supposedly, if you covered the edge of the disc with a green felt pen it "helped focus the laser" or something and "improved the sound quality", or some kind of pseudoscientific con job. Heck, I don't remember. I remember reading about this silliness in some stereo magazine back in the eighties...

Great for you, Brandon... My package arrived today, I ripped it open, and inside was the George Clooney version of Solaris. I'm not a happy camper right now...

Tell you what, you little wussy: you learn to stand on your own two feet instead of crawling into a bottle like the loser you are, and we'll discuss who is and isn't a puler, okay?

Just been OOP for a while, I think.

Since there seems to be some demand for this puppy, let's give this a shot: the disc is in nice shape, except that the previous owner (not me, I swear!) fell for that old "green felt pen" chestnut and colored the edge of the disc. Doesn't affect the surface or, much to his chagrin, I'm sure, payback. $20 cash, check, or US postal money order covers the disc and postage. Please respond before I come to my senses....

Well, I'm glad; perhaps no one will bring it up!

Just checking in to see if anyone had used the lame line about eating brownies yet...

Not to make excuses, but anyone who's participated in online bulletin boards for any length of time knows that overreaction is going to happen. In very many ways, the online experience magnifies both the best and the worst of human reaction. I'll be the first to admit that Dan has a history, as do I, and neither are that pretty. On the other hand I also know that Dan has gone out of his way to see that I'm exposed to music that he knows I'd enjoy but would otherwise never even know existed. Maybe Dan could control his temper a little better, and I hope I'm doing the same with mine, but let's not forget that on the net, this kind of thing just isn't that unusual. Feelings are hurt, oft times unintentionally, and people lash out. It's just the way it goes. And pretty soon, someone will come along and point out that there sure is a lot of discussion on this topic for something so petty, forgetting that it takes days to talk out an issue on the net rather than the hours or even minutes that it would take in a face to face meeting. We just need to remember that things are different on the net. Sometimes better, sometimes worse, but almost always different.

He does some nice stuff on Mary Stallings Live at the Village Vanguard (Maxjazz) as well.

"These other assholes" are the ones that watched you make a public fool of yourself, and are hanging around in the vain hope that you might make some sort of apologies to the hosts of this board. Surely you know the routine; this can't possibly be the first time you've embarrassed yourself in public...

Yawn...another boring yahoo trying to have his moment of internet glory. Flame on, dude; enjoy yourself.

Uh...a shower for your leg?

Of course, the unfortunate truth is that you're more than likely to run into the worthless swill that the other 98 cents of your dollar buys, but them's the breaks I guess...
