7/4

Back to the Future... I just picked this up this afternoon and it's already on my list of favorite Metheny albums. Just two more tracks to go.

That's right, he was never acoustic. I'm a big fan of his, but even though I have a ton of his stuff, I haven't been listening to him much lately.

Of course, then you run the risk of certain board members giving you grief for "hiding" behind a nickname....

Stop it. You not fat at all.

the mommy?

Happy Birthday and where the hell have you been?

In the music biz it's more common for some cat to get eaten by some lizard.

JMc Mahavishu pushed the envelope with Jan Hammer. I remember an artricle in DownBeat years ago where Corea gave total total credit for Hammer being an influence on synth, using the pich bend and then everybody started using it.

I wouldn't mind knowing more about his story. I met someone who grew up in Newark, when it came to Jazz, he only wanted to talk about how he grew up across the street from Hank Mobley. When I asked him about Larry Young, all he would say was he knew his Dad.

I'm in Central Jersey and we do that kinda stuff. Peppers and onions too.

Could have been me except I couldn't make it out to any of the shows.

You also have to elevate it above your heart, laying down and resting it on your chest abouve your heart works.

soak it in hot water with epson salts, as hot as you can stand it. afterwards, elevate it above your heart. it totally works man. the swelling should go down. I went through time where I always had my left hand up in the air. musta looked like a dead fan looking for a miracle. Try it man, it really eases the swelling. When it first happened, you should have used ice. Now you need hot wet heat. Back when I worked on my feet all the time on concrete floors this was the solution for sore feet/legs plus a number of other problems through the years.

A trombone?

I've heard it a few times. I really like hearing these guys play.

what he said.

How is the patient doing? I hope you're keeping that hand elevated and listening to some hip tunes.

State of yeha!

I've been around a little bit, but I wouldn't mind checking out Texas, Alaska, Michigan, Kansas or the great NorthWest. But I can't even get my ass down to Philly to hear Organissimo.

I've never heard of this album. Year? Who's on it?

yep.

Dude there is no such place. Tower is on East 4th and Broadway. The Sun rises in the East and Sets in the West.

The two I have from DMG are very nice. There's a Sun Ra and a Frippertronics that sound amazing.

That may be true and would be interesting if it's the case. I was referring to something totally different, however - a shopowner who burns his LPs and sells them at $15-$20 a pop. Including the album in question. I knew Manny is an idiot. Why doesn't he just copy the CDs?

I danced around in small circles.
