Mosaic jewel boxes are filed with the rest of the CDs, with the boxes (and booklets) stored in "cubes" (lp sized Sauder thingies). Sets like the Sinatra singles set, Armstrong Hot Fives & Sevens, etc. (the tall 'book-like' ones) are stored away as well, with the CDs in slimline jewel boxes on the CD shelves. Sets like Coltrane's Complete V.V. and the Parker Complete Dial & Savoy stuff have the boxes stored with the CDs, but the discs themselves are next to them in slimline jewel boxes for easy access.

Are you talking about the Roulette set? I've got that one, and really enjoy it. Takes me back, as Teagarden was one of the few jazz artists my father was into. Plus, as I played trombone as a kid, I always enjoy hearing what it was really supposed to sound like!

A serious followup to this one from me... This thread was the first, but for a while there it seemed like everything I did, or talked about with others resulted in the same response: "You know, that's supposed to be one of the warning signs of depression." Well, to make a long story short, I saw the doctor today, and am now on antidepressants. This is something I should have done years ago, but I'm one of those stubborn males who has to be forced into the doctors office. The last straw was last week when I was simply flooded with despair while at work for about half an hour. Well, we'll see how this stuff works. Hopefully I'll be back posting in my usual way soon. Then again, how do I know what the "real me" is at this point? Scary stuff...

Hmmm...familiar name...sister...WAIT! I've got it!! It's SISTER BESSIE ALFREDSON!!!! Gloss? Marsh?? Shit, I give up...but I don't want to!

Sounds like a sure way to bring on the blues, if you know what I mean...

Recovering nicely after his sex change operation, Bowe announced "Bring it on, you bastard! How ya gonna fight me now that you can't hit me in the nuts??"

Well, if we didn't know already, this proves how out of touch with reality he is. That is what cops do when they take someone in, Michael; particularly if they're suspected of molesting children...

Mine's the same as yours. I've managed to alter my diet and actually turn my weight around (my last year's resolution), though it took most of the year to do it. Now it's time to get the other side of the coin in line and start an exercise program. Although I walk regularly, it's time to do more, and I need to increase my aerobic exercise (I can only increase my heart rate so much by following politics!) and start mild weight training again. If I keep working on my weight by diet alone, it'll take forever, and at 46, I don't have forever. Sure would be nice to reduce enough for my knees to let me start running again...

Hey, if I worked there, it wouldn't be desirable; it would be a friggin' requirement!!!

Okay....time to clean the kitty litter box!

What the fu...oh, wait a minute; I was thinking "Kwanzaa"...

Okay; it's settled. Monroe is in. Can I start campaigning for Bob Wills now?

Son of a bitch. The more I thought about it, the more "the Swing Factory" sounded familiar. Search the site, and there you are. Oh well; tell me how many Hail Mary's are required for purchasing the Kay Starr disc...

Happy day, guy; we December people have to stick together!

Thanks, guys! I must admit, these silly birthday threads kinda get to you when you're the subject, particularly when your used to the day passing by unnoticed outside of family. But then I guess this is just a different family in a way, right? Just got back from Tower, blowing my birthday gift card. Picked up Jacknife, AEC's Fanfare for the Warriors and some early Kay Starr stuff. All in all, a nice birthday, even if I did have to work. While the wife has no interest in jazz, I did call her in here to check out all the moose shots; she was impressed!

I think I know enough about him after reading your post...

...just checking to see if Deep's still trying to frighten the girls with his weewee...

I think you should tell him, "Thank you." The only think worse than bad coffee is no coffee. I went with your suggestion; after drinking Navy coffee for four years in my youth, I have to agree with you!

I'll say! I think you've got a "keeper" there, Anders!

The most amazing wife in the whole world, who can't stand jazz to save her life, by asking the right questions discretely and pulling the wool over my eyes (again! It's not that hard, apparently!) surprised me this morning with Beauty is a Rare Thing, just the set I need at this point in my jazz listening. Damn, she amazes me!

Never seen it; I'm getting some weird holiday vibes thinking about Double Indemnity with those two, though...

By carefully avoiding the overexposure on television, It's a Wonderful Life has remained a favorite movie of mine, and not just for Christmas. Love it!

I ze you air beck, aggie, bet your avatar has caused me to bimp ma head...

Amen! We're spending Christmas at her sisters house with the brother-in-law, niece, etc. Pretty much what we do every year. It seemed strange at first, but now it's family!

My boss at work gave me a Starbucks gift card at work today as a Christmas present. So should I get him a Kenny G CD and tell him to shove it or what?
