i, on the other hand, will take periodic naps to bolster my constitution, much to the chagrin of my chaperone above.

i'm sorry you felt the need to pour scalding water on the squirrel. there are products available that will deter squirrels without harming them. many contain red pepper, which they can't stand. if the problem resurfaces, i recommend buying something like scoot squirrel, a spray that's easy to use and quite effective.

ten days to go! i hope jim, joe, and randy have time to hang out with us common folk after their set.

i think i know why...

that's true, of course. i was just pointing out the fact that no one on this board (where he's posting) is likely to buy them.

you'll probably have better luck selling sealed copies of the wallington and perkins discs for $6 somewhere else, since a lot us already bought them for $3 directly from concord.

Myth: Dogs Have Cleaner Mouths Than Humans Pooches Mouths Are Dirty, but They're Safe to Kiss Oct. 14, 2005 — - Pet lovers can't get enough affection from their pooches. And if licking is loving, they get a lot of loving. But is it really safe to kiss a dog, considering where they often put their mouths? "Their saliva is much cleaner and if you have a cut or anything, if they lick it -- it's healing," one woman told "20/20" while being interviewed in New York City. Proof From a Veterinarian To find out just who has a cleaner mouth, we asked veterinarian and fellow dog lover Marty Becker, author of "Chicken Soup for the Dog Owner's Soul," to offer his opinion. "They raid the garbage can. You know, we give each other a peck on the cheek when we say hello, they give each other a peck on the rear end," said Becker. "All you got to do is look, watch, smell and you'll realize that that is not true." He thinks the myth that a dog's mouth is clean stems from their practice of licking their wounds. "And they'll be licking that wound and you'll notice that the wound heals very fast … what that tongue does is it gets rid of the dead tissue," said Becker. He compares that tongue lashing to the work of a surgeon who cleans out a wound, and said the licking also stimulates circulation. Go Ahead, Give Them a Kiss If you want to give your pooch a kiss, it may be safer than kissing another human. Becker says many of the bacteria in the mouth of a dog are species specific, so it won't harm its owner. "So a staph or a strep for a human is not transmissible to a dog, if you were to kiss it, and vice versa," said Becker. Bottom line -- you're more likely to get a serious illness from kissing a person than kissing a dog. But since dogs do transmit some germs, Becker has some advice: "Keep the vaccines current. Good external parasite control, good internal parasite control. You're going to be good to go." And then, he says you can kiss them all you want. "They love us unconditionally, they make us laugh," said Becker. "If we're going to give them a little kiss to thank them for that, then that's good by me."

how you can look at that cover and still have that question is beyond me. pass the ketchup, please!

i have met the animal, and he is us.

a new jewel case costs 20 cents. i have better things to do with my time.

best song title in this box set: Who Threw the Sleeping Pills in Rip Van Winkle's Coffee?

how many of us were snobs to begin with, and only later found jazz?

and a very happy birthday to lon, too!

i didn't see any mention of this new release. just listened to some clips and it sounds interesting. from the blue note website: "Streams of Expression reunites Lovano with the great composer, conductor, and musicologist Gunther Schuller (their first collaboration was Rush Hour, Blue Note, 1995), and draws upon everything from the cool school to late-era Coltrane, offering a holistic take on jazz, present and future. The album is comprised of two extended, multipart pieces (Streams of Expression Suite, Birth of the Cool Suite) and three stand-alone tunes (“Blue Sketches,” “Buckeyes,” “Big Ben”) and features an augmented incarnation of Lovano’s nonet from the albums 52nd Street Themes (2000) and On this Day . . . At the Vanguard (2003). Three of the tracks showcase Lovano in a trio setting, recalling his Trio Fascination series, regarded as a contemporary classic." anyone picked it up yet?

it's misspelled in the last paragraph.

here's the track listing for the reissue: S.M.T.W.T.F.S.S. Blues Rockaway The Things We Did Last Summer Green Stamp Monsta World Wide Boots

thanks very much!

Can someone provide me with information to clear up questions I have about this 1978 recording for the Xanadu label? Some sources list the personnel on all six titles as: Ronnie Cuber - Baritone Sax Tom Harrell – Trumpet, Flugelhorn Mickey Tucker – Piano Dennis Irwin - Bass Eddie Gladden – Drums while other sources add the following musicians: Rein De Graff - Piano Sam Jones – Bass Louis Hayes – Drums Are these last three artists featured on any of the tracks, and if so, which ones? Also, do you know the names of the producer, engineer, and recording studio? Thanks a lot in advance.

you want questionable album art?

oh my god! i performed with this guy a few times in newport, r.i. in the mid-70s! sweet pie used to perform these dirty songs (I seem to remember one called iF yoU C Kay) wearing nothing but a tiny g-string, even in the dead of winter. he was foul, crazy, and very funny. at least i thought so at age 19. i didn't know he had two records on the esp label. buy, i haven't thought about him for years!

could a melodica thread be too far behind?
