still dark.

There's the name calling Jim.

I don't need the search function to find the political forum. I re-read the beginings of the thread and it still looks like the thread was moved and then Chris stopped posting for a few days. How does Dan know he left? Does he post with his broadband connection and then watch the political forum with a dial up connection on another machine? http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...topic=21591&hl= Read post 7. Hell, you're such a dumb fuck, you even posted in the very same thread. We're talking about the Dan on Bareback Mountain thread. You find this exciting? No? Yes? Great press? I'm not a Jazz musican Dan. I'm a composer. Classical music Dan? Where's your's Village Voice or L.A. Times review?

How does Dan know he left? Does he post with his broadband connection and then watch the political forum with a dial up connection on another machine? What I meant was that you can use the search function to find out who posted what & when. That way you can see who left for how long and when he/she started posting again. Simple, really.. Even simpler is looking at the thread.

Or just have it in for me because, like a former smoker who's now militantly anti-smoking, I am a reformed Political Forum junkie. Having seen how much better the board is without that garbage, I do my best to insure it doesn't infect the rest of the board. Albertson is no doubt sick of preaching to the choir and continuously starts topics in the Miscellaneous Forum which are obviously political in nature and I keep calling him on it. It even led him to "leave" the board but that obviously didn't take and now that a topic is posted without the slightlest connection to politics except the historical fact that the man had joined the Nazi party gives Chris leave to post as a fool does. How do you know he "left", if it was in the politix forum and you "don't" look at it?

Ask Dan if he's seen Bareback Mountain yet. It sends him into an amazing rage and a frenzy of hostile pm sending. Go ahead, press his buttons.

the long version: January 6, 2006 Lou Rawls, Velvet-Voiced Singer of Classic Tunes, Dies at 72 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 12:27 p.m. ET LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Lou Rawls, the velvet-voiced singer who started as a church choir boy and went on to record such classic tunes as ''You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine,'' died Friday of cancer. He was 72. Rawls died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was hospitalized last month for treatment of lung and brain cancer, said his publicist, Paul Shefrin. His wife, Nina, was at his bedside when he died. Rawls' family and Shefrin said the singer was 72, although other records indicate he was 70. Rawls' deep, smooth voice was his trademark, and he used it in a variety of genres. ''I've gone the full spectrum, from gospel to blues to jazz to soul to pop,'' Rawls once said on his Web site. ''And the public has accepted what I've done through it all.'' A longtime community activist, Rawls played a major role in United Negro College Fund telethons in the 1980s that raised more than $200 million. In the '60s he often visited schools, playgrounds and community centers. Rawls' introduction to music came in his hometown of Chicago from his grandmother, who loved gospel. He moved to Los Angeles in the mid-1950s to join a touring gospel group, the Pilgrim Travelers. After a two-year stint in the Army, Rawls rejoined the Pilgrim Travelers in Los Angeles, where he sang with his childhood friend Sam Cooke. Rawls performed with Dick Clark at the Hollywood Bowl in 1959, and he later he opened for The Beatles at Crosley Field in Cincinnati. Rawls was playing small blues and R&B clubs in Los Angeles when his four-octave range caught the ear of a Capitol Records producer, who signed him to the label in 1962. His debut effort, ''Stormy Monday,'' recorded with the Les McCann Trio, was the first of his 52 albums. In 1966, his ''Love Is a Hurtin' Thing'' topped the charts and earned Rawls his first two Grammy nominations. He won three Grammys in a career that spanned nearly five decades and included the hits ''Your Good Thing (Is About to End),'' ''Natural Man'' and ''Lady Love.'' He released his most recent album, ''Seasons 4 U,'' in 1998 on his own label, Rawls & Brokaw Records. But his trademark will always be ''You'll Never Find,'' released in 1976 and written by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, architects of the classic ''Philadelphia Sound.'' Rawls also appeared in 18 movies, including ''Leaving Las Vegas'' and ''Blues Brothers 2000,'' and 16 television series, including ''Fantasy Island'' and ''The Fall Guy.'' In 1976, Rawls became the corporate spokesman for the Anheuser-Busch Cos. breweries. Rawls was diagnosed with lung cancer in December 2004 and brain cancer in May 2005. Besides his wife, Rawls is survived by four children: Louanna Rawls, Lou Rawls Jr., Kendra Smith and Aiden Rawls. Funeral arrangements were incomplete, Shefrin said.

That's a tuff description. It's not line up one would normally find him in. I've never heard him on Dexter Gordon - The Other Side of Round Midnight (and I've heard a lot of JMcL's output). Anybody else? I know there's a gotta be a John McLaughlin list out there somewhere.

Whaddaya, some kind of BUM? I'm hoping they're gonna feed me 3 square meals too. They don't have to. I could just slip out and get slices around the corner.

Living room couch.

You know...that's a pretty heavy schedule. Can I cop a nap in the late afternoon?

Do they pay? And can we listen to Jazz while we're hanging at the lounge?

Is there a phone number...a web site? Where do I sign up! And what was I saying in the hangover thread? Hair of the dog baby...

late breaking news....the sun went down....and it came up, but it aint shining today. Wet too. Film at 11.

He was just getting it together as a composer and as an arranger. Would Led Zeppelin have been so wounderful if Jimi didn't create guitar orchestras?

Angel is a beautiful tune. It's my favorite Hendrix tune. If only he'd been around to write a few more of those.

Wow. Keeping track of things!

wet and not getting any better.

In an ideal world. I'm really going to miss Derek. Say what you will about he did, but he did it. And I'm going to miss it. Fuck. kljhogydresgesresres..................

Don't know about Cat, but Ben is cool by me. Fine to hang with. But he has to get his ass down to the O gig.

Holy crap. The man with a banjo. I think I need a banjo. I'm going to surf over to banjo bros. right now.

I really dig anything Mitch does. The guy takes the Elvin bag and glues it to that wild wailing fuzz pedal that was Jimi Hendrix is cool by me.
