7/4

He's much better at it than Keith Jarrett! Opera....that bloated art form. I don't have too much of an opinion on that unless I get paid to write one. dB

Oh...I see - she's Canadian. Well, that just about explains everything.

I'm listening because I'm attracted to it, not because I "should" like it. I don't know how I missed it all these years.

It's Newark, dude - Newark, NJ. WBGO. We also get Bird Flight every morning on WKCR. dB

I saw this yesterday.

A lot of repressed homosexuality going down there - sort of like Ren 'n' Stempy. Carter had a drinking problem and he was hung over all the time.

Same here. I'd think everyone would want to play with him too.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Now that I've heard it, I think it should be reissued! db

Darn. I really, really, really wanted the the guy in the front row to be him. dB

That's him on the front? Anyways...I always like Sabbath. Happy Birthday!

dB

Bummer...I've never heard this album. dB

Hmmm....I could have sworn there was a message here a few minutes ago that said he's still here under another name. Looks like it got deleted. What's up with that?

Yikes! .

And do you know why they called him bird?

I have that Coltrane fakebook. I think I'm using my ear more than I'm reading when I look at that one, but it's a really cool book to have! dB

I wouldn't mind having this set.

Anyway...I hear that Justin Timberlake was named most stylish man in America. I mean...like wow. How about that!

I gave it one listen and I thought it was really nice! Boy, I'd like to get my act together and do something like that. I'll give it some more time this evening. I have a night off from my exciting life...

My thing now is the basics, scales and arpeggios. At age 48, I decided I really should know my way around the neck better. So...any scale - all the notes on one string. 2 notes to a string, 3 notes to a string and 4 notes to a string (shift on the half steps). edit#2: and of course, a scale in different positions up the neck. I'm back into Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin after diddling with the Charlie Parker Omnibook for a few months. Every day I try to read at least a page or two. I'm not working on memorization, just getting around the neck. I need to practice with a metronome, that would improve things drastically. edit: there's also a bunch of standards I work on, mostly just learning the heads and playing arps through the progression.

It should be released on CD in the states. I found a Japanese CD released copy many years ago, really cheap. I happen to really dig it man. dB

That's part of my problem, too many guitars, not enough time to devote to all the different styles and techniques. My steel guitar is being neglected for the same reason. .
