7/4

Someone gave me a 5.1 system for my TV and I still haven't set it up. I think I'd need a special room to get the most out of it. ...

Rut-ology. ...

No more studio albums until the '80s. Red was the last one until Discipline. ...

But what is there not to like about Red?

That's pretty much where I'm at.

Coltrane has helped my through hard times before. I have half of the Atlantic box on the CD player in my car all week. ...

Crap. Yet another edition. I love Red.

I don't think I've tried Black Diamond strings more than once, many years ago. The original Black Diamond string factory was in the town I grew up in - North Brunswick, NJ. By the 80's, they were gone and the building was sub-divided into many rental spaces. The parents of a guy I knew had some rooms there and we snuck in after hours and had a loud guitar jam. Plenty of drinking....

Yeah, it's a great set! ...

A couple of years ago I bought any Yazoo CD that had music from the Mississippi Delta.

sheesh...I like to know when my friends and acquaintances are doing gigs. ...

Dave Holland - Emerald Tears. ...

I'd think the one to do is Ben. ...

I don't think I've ever seen one on a Strat made after I was born. I still have the ones for my two Teles, I never use them, but I see no point in getting rid of them. ...

I think the earlier the Barney, the better. Like Jammin' the Blues. For me, he got progressively more heavy-handed and corny. I liked his chords---they leapt out and announced themselves---and his blues feel and his soloing when he copied Christian. I like the job he did on Julie London's Julie is Her Name. After that it falls apart for me. But he never was a bebopper. Jimmy Raney was the bebopper. Kessel was a real blues player and swing-era child of Charlie Christian. I doubt he was scared to play with Bird, though I wasn't in his head. He was a pro by then. He just didn't really exactly fit in, though he did a good job. I think the cats probably liked him well enough. Too bad Jimmy never recorded with Bird. He was the first guitar player to 'get it'. Wouldn't that have been something!

Doesn't seem like a real good idea, does it??? ...

With her her little dogs??? ...

(Kinda young Kinda wow . . . ) (Kinda young Kinda dead . . . )

I'd rather listen to my cds. MP3 files sound murky to me and I only listen to them on my computer, if I have to. ...

I read yesterday that the girl was an Iranian immigrant and a member of the Bahai faith. The Bahai's believe in interracial marriage, so maybe she was brought up to date black men. No big deal to her. One look at her and I didn't think it was an issue.

I'm sure there's a market for monkey farts. ...

Sounds like it. ...

7/4....interesting date for a holiday. ...
