  1. 1. Hinduism (100%) 2. Neo-Pagan (98%) 3. Mahayana Buddhism (96%) 4. Jainism (87%) 5. Unitarian Universalism (87%) Hmm...interesting.
  2. Or, like Roman Polanski, he could skip to Europe. There's a chance he's packing his bags now!
  3. Ah! I never heard that story! Thanks!!! Never "heard the story" -- just had the sign silently pointed out to us by the promoter/van-driver on our band's first trip to London! Ha! Still cool.....
  4. I was having dizzy spells and went to the doctor. He gave me a blood test and a glucose tollerance test and when the tests came back, he said I had high colesteroil and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). He leaned over and patted me on the stomach and said "this has to go, I want you on the Adkins Diet.". I was at 235, I lost 25 lbs in the first 6 weeks. A year later I had lost a total of 65 pounds. A year later I started to gradually gain until last Spring when I hit 215. Lately I've been holding steady at around 211, in the last ten days I've lost 10 pounds. I credit stress from work and family members getting old & sick. I started to gain weight when I cheated on the diet, now it doesn't even matter what I eat!
  5. Ah! I never heard that story! Thanks!!! edited for spelling....
  6. I voted beef. I'm on the Adkins diet. & hypoglycemic. Chicken doesn't seem to work.
  7. R.I.P. Speedy Speedy West was one of my all-time favorite musicians. His recordings with Jimmy Bryant from the fifties are often played in my home. Sad news.....
  8. Then this isn't really news, is it????
  9. Do The Bump by the Black Keys....as my neighbors found out on Friday, when I listened to it about 50 or 60 times in a row.
  10. Highly unlikely, but who knows? Stranger things have happened! dB
  11. In the old days, I would have said Karn Evil 9. Of course, the other Karn Evils were not around for access. Hey...I was a teenager! Now I think the Rite of Spring, Uncle Meat, Communication Breakdown or maybe Like A Virgin (7/4 remix) might work for the 16 yearold me.
  12. Wow - only if I'm hung over and have no plans for the day! And then it's gotta be a light beer!
  13. Oddly enough, the Solovox was made by Hammond. It is indeed a crude, tube based synthesizer but considering it was made in the 40s... Wasn't the tone closer to a sine tone? I haven't heard one in years.......
  14. Just about the time I scrolled down it changed. Ha!
  15. Mach 3 Turbo since last Friday and I'm converted. There was always this spot on my right jaw that got torn up, no longer a problem! As fer foam: brush & shaving soap.
  16. I missed the begining, but it's on now!!! http://wkcr.org/ SUN RADIO - Jazz Profiles, November 9th, 2-7pm est WKCR 89.9 FM NYC - www.WKCR.org now back to full power THE IMAGE REACH To The territory of the non-memory The realm of the non-moving potential of that which is not-- To The state beyond the image-reach The magic life of myth And fantasy I speak And say "Welcome." I welcome thy presence As a very Cosmic gift of sheer happiness. The happiness I have known Are no longer mine. I cast them to the world And say "Take these" As you have taken all else from me, For I have one foot upon The threshold of other realms And wings Have grown Upon my mind To take me Beyond the gravity And gravitation of the earth. - Sun Ra Join us Sunday, November 9th, between 2pm and 7pm for a celebration of Le Sun Ra's music of the spheres, with special focus on virtuoso reed player John Gilmore. Sun Ra is an outer-space myth whose earthly legacy is astounding and deeply rooted in all that 'Jazz' signifies. He played piano and arranged for Fletcher Henderson, was highly regarded by Coleman Hawkins and Thelonius Monk, pioneered electronic keyboards and forecast most of current popular music. Sun Ra's music spans big-band swing, doo-wop, post-bop, and so-called 'free' improvisation - although Ra did not like the notion of 'freedom', preferring instead the 'precision and discipline' it took to rehearse every day for 14 hours and keep an orchestra together for about as long as Basie's and Ellington's. John Gilmore held first chair on tenor and soprano saxes, flute and clarinet as well as percussion in Sun Ra's Arkestra for nearly four decades. He is well-known in musicians' circles for having taught John Coltrane some key lessons - eliciting 'Trane's excited response, "He's got the concept!" We will highlight some classic Gilmore moments from Sun Ra's huge recorded output, in addition to surveying Gilmore's career as a sideman in various ensembles such as Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Paul Bley, Dizzy Reece and McCoy Tyner. Space is the Place!
  17. That is weird; I've never heard anyone who was really into music (as opposed to background noise) make the claim that better sales were proof of anything. I have, a few times over the years.
