7/4

I'll be getting this, wouldn't mind finding a copy of the original 70s/80s edition on CD.

I saw that on Amazon a couple weeks ago, I should pick it up.

That's insane! I love that one. Gotta see the Bukowski doc. I just happend to be re-reading Factotum this afternoon, it's been 16 years.

I still don't know what I'm doing. Maybe I'll just see you there.

That's a nice box. I've been through it once, need to spin it again.

I like those!

Monk and Cecil?

It's not black.

Miles and Coltrane?

Happy Birthday man, have a good one!

which night are you thinking of going 7/4? I have no idea, I'd like to go Thursday. But I also wanted to catch more than one night. I said "but let's see how I'm feeling" because I have GI problems and I may just want to hang at home.

Me neither. I didn't know anything about him until he got a bit of press for holding his 1 month old kid while feeding a crocodile.

I'd buy one of those.

I mostly gave up on caffeine last year. 25 years of that crap. Only if I'm on the road and really need to wake up. And then it really has to be before 3 or 4 pm unless I know I have to be up for hours.

There's one next to Newark airport on Rt. 1. A few years ago I had some folks in town to perform with me in NYC. I was driving - of course - back and forth from NJ to NYC. Everytime we went by the brewery, this one guy whips out his camera starts snapping photos of the place. This went on for a week.

Get well soon! I've been though hell, but I can't imagine what that's like.

Thanks for the link. I knew these guys had feelings for Dewey and went to their site yesterday to find nothing. Gotta get in touch with Ethan. I think everyone was a bit slow in responding because of the holiday. We did get the news pretty quick though.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I'd like to go, but let's see how I'm feeling. I'll PM you on Thursday morning and let you know. I do have to visit NYC anyways. People to see, CDs to buy.

The Bad Plus blog, Do the Math has some interesting comments about Dewey.

Them is fightin' words.

You don't say. He didn't say. :eye:

Led Zeppelin, Cream, King Crimson with Bruford, Yes with Bruford, ELP...Hendrix w/ Mitch Mitchell. More integral, or just as? just as.

September 4, 2006 Stingray Deaths Like Irwin Are Very Rare By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 2:04 p.m. ET Stingrays are strange-looking but normally shy creatures whose defenses include poisonous, serrated barbs in their tails. At least 35 species of stingrays swim in the tropical waters of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, where television personality Steve Irwin died Monday when he was stabbed in the heart by a ray's barb. Experts called it a freak occurrence. They said the triangular-shaped rays are usually unobtrusive, gliding through the water, rummaging on the sea bottom for food or burrowing into the sand. But when stepped on or otherwise frightened, they deploy spines up to 10 inches long with breadknife-like serrations as a defense mechanism. ''If it's spooked by someone stepping on it or swimming too closely over it, frightening it, the tail raises involuntarily,'' said Victoria Brims, a marine life expert at OceanWorld, an aquarium in Sydney, Australia. The spines emit toxins that can kill many small creatures and that cause excruciating pain in humans. Few people die from the poison, but the spines can badly tear flesh and the wounds are prone to infections, including tetanus. Simon Pierce of Queensland University's School of Biological Sciences said there were no accurate records of stingray deaths, but estimated there had been about 30 worldwide in recent years. Witnesses said Irwin was struck directly in the heart. ''It was extraordinarily bad luck,'' said Shaun Collin, a University of Queensland marine neuroscientist. ''It's not easy to get spined by a stingray, and to be killed by one is very rare.''

I saw a story about this yesterday. Too cool.
