  1. Yeah, definitely a browser setting somewhere...something about bbcode parser...getting past what I know, but there's lots of Google results for "bbcode not working" and things like that (none of the few I'velooked at have come to any straightforward explanations/solutions), and you can get Firefox add-ons for it (which it looks like I don't need), but all that to just say if you know your browser well enough to tinker, it sure looks like that's the thing to do.
  2. Ok, it's not an HTML tag, it's bbcode: http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/18849/img-img-codes-for-emebedding-images
  3. Sounds like something is preventing you from entering HTML tags/whatever they're called into your posts...probably some browser setting? test@test.com yeah, see if [ email]...[ /email] works for you. test@test.com Without those tags, it looks like this no hyperlink.
  4. This is a damn good record right here: Mayers I know of, but not too much about, he's one of those guys who appears to have always had a gig somewhere, reliable, professional, etc, hade a career, jsut not a real "name" outside of the circles where he worked. Lots of guys like that, lots. Dixon was featured fairly regularly with Basie, but the records Basie was making when Dixon was on the band were not necessarily the ones you would "want" to buy. But maybe you would...either way, if he's in the band, he almost always gets a solo or two, ofttimes on flute. When the section was Royal, Plater, Jaws, Dixon, and Fowlkes (which it was for quite a while), Dixon was the only real flute soloist, and Basie was always having flute solos. But he played excellent tenor as well. The first time I saw Basie live, 1970, Jaws was on the band, as was Dixon. Jaws got more tenor solos, but Dixon got a few as well, he was in his own way, as quirky as Jaws (no small feat), just not as extroverted about it (which would be damn near impossible). He also shows up on The Nifty Cat Strikes West on Master Jazz, and also led his own date on the label. Pretty prolific, actually, just very quiet about it. Bill English, married to Dionne Warwick for a while, served as her Musical Director as well, this would ahve been in the 1960s. Led his own date on Vanguard, and, I think, showed up with Dave Burns on the label. Another guy who is there once you start looking for him. Now, Sonny Wellesley, you got me on that one. But he's here with Dakota Staton: http://www.concertvault.com/dakota-staton/newport-jazz-festival-july-02-1960.html and Dakota Staton worked a lot, so I guess he did too.
  5. The keyboard shortcut should work in most any program. If it works in, like, Word or Excel or your email or anything else on your computer but not on Organissimo, there's got to be an issue with your browser. It's working for some users but not for others, which indicates it's not a universal, i.e. board software based, problem. If it was strictly a board issue, everybody would get the same results. The linking of an image from a URL tool, that's one that everybody's having, and that's an Invision problem. If I can copy and paste but you can't, that's a difference in our individual settings, somewhere. Exactly where, I would not want to guess. Do Ctrl-C (Copy) & Ctrl-V (Paste) work for you on other web sites, just not on this one? Also, looks like Macs use a "Cmd" key instead of Ctrl, but otherwise the shortcut is the same: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201236
  6. Type the following (with the spaces removed): [ i m g ] [ / i m g ] The paste the link of the image in between. Or paste the link in while you're typing, whatever. If your browser's paste function does not work, try the Ctrl-V keyboard shortcut to paste. (Don't know if that works on a Mac or not, if that's what you use, but there's got to be a Mac equivalent)
  7. otoh, with all this stuff already readily available, choosers don't really need to beg. Don't get me wrong, mine's still en route from Germany, jsut sayin'.
  8. Needed to clear some "pending completion" archival mental musical space in order to come at this one as how I would consider personally correct, finally got there today. Damn, this is some of the most rigorously joyfully detailed sciencerapture music I've heard in some time, especially collectively. There's no "going there", hell, they START there and never come down. Don't look down, don't look back, don't go there, BE THERE. And if you have a REALLY good one, hope that somebody gets the tapes to Chuck Nessa. This is the kind of music I can die happily knowing that it's been made and that I've heard it. And even better, live happily knowing the same things. And best of all, move ahead in live knowing that it's real, it's all real, so, no excuses. Tell no lies and you'll not need to believe any.
  9. Nice to see Don Abney on that list, there's a guy you never hear about.
  10. Well, then, those boxes are not what you want for that. Got any pregnant cats or anything like that? Old earth shoes from the 70s? Pants you'll be able to wear again, it's just a matter of time? Those boxes work great for that, and like I said, infinitely stackable, so, you can run a home for unwed kitties, or a rat snake hotel, or something like that. Possibilities are almost literally almost endless.
  11. Dude, if you want to cheap out, find somebody who works in an office with a copier. The empty paper boxes are great for filling and stacking, like if you have a bunch of discs you don't want to look at any more but also don't want to get rid of, you can get hundreds in one box and then off they go into the closet of unseen corner of the unvisited room, some place like that, they'll be there for you if and/or when. This stuff right here, these boxes, you can store CDs in it, you can let you pets give birth in it, you can do anything with it, pretty much, compact-ish, strong, and stackable like jackable - and if you got the connect, hey, endless supply at the cost of free. Rare instance of perfect world.
  12. Yeah, that's like when you're on a work crew or something and they have you dig a ditch and then fill it back up, over and over and over.

  14. Yes, bulk and slippery, both basic keys to successful potty-ing, very true.
  15. I'm not cynical. I just a very realistic optimist.
  16. And really, I'm "ok" with that. To not be leads us down the rabbit hole of a contract being a contract until it's not, and the next time somebody tries to pull some underhanded shit on you, just remember - you got a contract, right? So, there's mechanisms to work around that, but some cat just can't say, oh, I don't want to do this any more, no mas and there not be repercussions. You do not want a system that would work like that. As much as you don't like a system where silence that serves to the determent of justice can be bought for the "right price", you want one where people can just sign up and then walk out unchecked even less. And remember folks - people with power and money use no small portion of it to acquire legal representation whose job it then becomes to know the laws inside and out, because that's a lawyer's job - to represent the interests of their client to the very best of their ability. If it gets to be a dirty job, well, then, they can call that Mike Rowe guy. Again - power is not an intrinsically benevolent force, this is something we need to educate our children (and adults) about. If you ever find yourself in a confrontation with power, know in advance that you yourself will either need to acquire strong representation or else be prepared to settle for a deal that will compromise you as much and for as long as possible as the power deems necessary. And if you later want/need to "get out" of that agreement, get yourself a damn good lawyer first. Don't just wake up one day and think you're free of all that shit, good luck on that one. There's a dark side to "free speech", there's a dark side to contract law, there's a dark side to damn near every thing. Anyway, kudos to courage but do expect to pay.
  17. I only use the bags for burns/burned downloads/etc. I keep my originally purchased items in their jewel cases on the premise that if I ever want to dispose of some/all, they'll have more "value" (in whatever sense that may mean) to a potential buyer/donor recipient is the product is still "fully intact". I'm guaranteed a downsize at some point, either through life or death, and survivors have been instructed to either sell or donate. In either case, a few bucks in appraised value might matter. Jewel cases are a bit of a bulk, true, but on the other hand, moving mass quantities of those poly-sleeved things is no picnic either, they're slippery as a tub full of naked eels!
  18. I buy from Bags Unlimited, a box of 1000 evry year or two, no problems or issues with either product, ordering, or delivery. Bags Unlimited also carries a variety of harder cases as well, in a variety of configurations.
  19. I'm in, hell, if you don't have 3-4 tunes, then you really don't have it all, right?. Clear off one set of shelf space, make room on another.

  21. I rather enjoyed this.
  22. Yep, that's Bartz. If you saw an altoist with Miles in 1971, it would have been him.
  23. Ok, he's lunging and then beginning his forward delivery, not lunging while in the process of forward delivery. Kinf of a NFL-y fumble or incomplete forward pass thing going on. If that's legal now, it shouldn't be past this season...or even during this one, if they can change rules in the middle of a season.
  24. Was this guy on sax?
