  1. The beauty of the game is exactly this: talent AND attitude. Otherwise it would be like two computers playing chess. Anyway I am a bit worried about that Pancho Villa. Italian defence is playing below the WC standard. Spain should win but Van Basten is right: when has Spain ever not disappointed? Is it me or does Domenech always have that befuddled look (of course in this tournament, he had good reason).
  2. I don't know why the Rays would make this deal, considering his numbers and they're a team on the upswing. If they do make a bad deal, there is still no way that anyone will ever forget the Kazmir trade, speaking as a Mets fan.
  3. I think the only Aurora I had was the Scalextric racing cars. I think that was made by Aurora. I do remember the emblem that Jim posted.
  4. Parlan box is a great one, in fact one of my favorites, just re listened to it recently. Congrats. You'd better take care of her now!
  5. No sooner do I open my big mouth and Turkey scores. Blowing a two goal lead with 15 minutes to go! Unbelievable. Of course, they will be without their goalie for the next round and what a stupid thing he did.
  6. What an amazing second half. I'm sure it will come down to PKs.
  7. Don't know if you're into organ, but you need some Jimmy Smith and the two Baby Face Willettes are necessary as in anything Grant Green.
  8. He was a great broadcaster, with a very distinctive voice. Loved to hear his games.
  9. I'm a big Spain supporter and I'm of course I'm happy but I do feel for you. It's a gut wrenching way to lose. From what I saw of Russia Greece, neither deserve(d) to advance. Hope Sweden makes it through.
  10. Never moved me. Total disagree.
  11. I'm not sure this is the right place for this but I was at F.Y.E. yesterday and someone had dumped a whole bunch of box sets. They were indicated as used but looked brand new. They were selling two of the Pepper Village Vanguard Set, Evans' Secret Sessions, two of Henderson's Milestone Set, Pepper's Hollywood Sessions and Sonny Rollins Freelance Years box, all for $39 each. I grabbed the Village Vanguard set, which sounds great.
  12. I know this is a pretty old post and it may have been mentioned recently, but the old links don't work anymore, presumably since Mosaic recenty changed their web site.
  13. Yeah, I saw that article in today's paper. As annoying as some of these people are with their Blue Tooths and everything, I'm not sure the action taken by Carter was (to say the least) appropriate.
  14. I've got the following Mosaics up for auction on ebay: Max Roach Mosaic Buck Clayton Mosaic Please let me know if you have any questions. Hate to part with them but I have some expenses I need to cover.
  15. I guess this could have been handled privately but, well, it's over...
  16. He doesn't have his own sign on. I used the other ipod used yesterday and then he used it last night to update so it worked well. I think it probably recognizes just one user account.
  17. If it's not essential, why do we belong to this Board and why does this Board exist? What is the expression: music soothes the savage breast?
  18. Thanks Noj but let's forget the ipod and concentrate on that image. Hmmm
  19. This may have been discussed before so my apologies if it's repetitous. My son has an ipod and has all of his songs on our computer. My wife just got one as a present (a Nano) and would like to put her songs on it. Can you have two ipods using the same computer. His is set for automatic uploads and syncing. If possible, I would imagine hers would have to be set for manual. Thanks.
  20. I'm generally with Chuck on this one: Did he create bop? No but he did play with one of the greatest bop bands ever. He certainly didn't create hard bop but was involved and headed some great groups. He was an influence but a pioneer is someone like Bird or Diz. I don't put him in quite that category.
  21. I remember that it was deleted from the BN catalogue not that long after it was released. Was shocked that they pulled it that fast. I remember we had some discussion about it on the old BN board.
  22. He interviewed him once on the show a few years ago.
  23. This sums up my attitude entirely. When I first started listening to jazz, I found Bird Flight indispensible. However, as I learned and listened more, I outgrew him and he kind of gets on my nerves now. The guy who I like to listen now in the morning is the drive time person on Tuesdays. He goes by the moniker Symphony Sid. Not sure what his last name is.
  24. Definitely agree with this. Cool Struttin was my first Sonny album, not to mention one of my early Cds. Still love it.
