Look for a little sprocket-shaped icon on the home page. That'll be the settings.

Actually, had occasion to play one back in the day. Some guy had one for reasons unknown, and we'd do free jams together. I'd use it for texture and basic melodic lines. The very rudimentary fingering system of the instrument made it easy to manipulate in that way. Certainly nothing compared to the oboe & bassoon families, both of which will make you curse life itself, at least initially. This, this was easy, once you figured out the double reed thing, which is really pretty intuitive once you realize that its two reeds you need to make vibrate, in sync, not just one, against a mouthpiece, no rials and chambers, just reeds. I started playing music at age10, using Tonette/Flutophone, and this was the same fingering system. Plus, hey, shawm, musette, Dewey Redman, it was cool, or seemed to be. I'd probably recoil in horror now at what I did then, but...no evidence survives!

So her father will be playing as well? Excellent! I'm encouraged also by the inclusion of a piece by Zoltán Kodály. That must be a tribute to Larry Young or Woody Shaw, I'm thinking.

Didn't you just have some AOL-related buggery gone wild or something? Maybe related to that? Check your Yahoo groups settings (assuming that there are some, I don't know, I only have an email account with yahoo, nothing more. But it's got settings!) and then your browser settings. Or do nothing, if it ain't broke, etc.

This, Town Hall, and what else?

Solo recital, not particularly expensive, "a program framed by Bach’s cello suites and exploring the works for solo cello of Zoltán Kodály, Benjamin Britten and Osvaldo Golijov". Sounds like a no-brainer as far as a pleasant evening, maybe better, but would be interested in hearing informed opinions about Weilerstein, relative to the contemporary scene as well as The Grand Scheme Of Things.

When I was a kid, I'd see Atco inner sleeves with albums by "Bent Fabric" & "Mr. Acker Bilk" and think that wow, this must be some psychedelic shit. BENT FABRIC?

The Duke of Earl Earl Hines Hines, Hines & Dad

Always interested in hearing how any problem gets solved.

They cover Chick Corea too!

Yeah, Live At The Meat House. Very limited pressing, probably gone for good in its original form.

Ran Blake, composing for the MIT Wind Ensemble, that ain't gonna be on no jazz label, and so far on just one classical label - Albany. Is it "great"? Hell if I know (or, at this point, care). I do know that it has Ran Blake characteristics running all through it, and the transmission of those characteristics to wind ensemble gets a little Ives-ian to get into it, and that's a good afternoon's worth of provocatation going forth right there, so once again, thanks Albany! http://www.albanyrecords.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=AR&Product_Code=TROY1016&Category_Code=a-BS

I discovered Albany the old-fashioned way - heard something on the radio (well, ok, a podcast) that I liked, looked at the playlist, ordered the side, Bim bam boom. This happens regularly, and I start noticing that a certain percentage of these things are on Albany, So ho-HO says I, and now, when making a BRO order, if I got room for one more, I'll do a search by Albany and pick one at random, just to see what comes in. Very little of it has been GREAT MUSIC or some such, but next to none of it has sucked, and as Clemmamommamobleysays, it's all darn interesting in the sense of being alive and in the process of still finding something. It's like having neioghbors that are not famous or anything, hell, they're just everyday people, but they're everyday people who keep it interesting, don't just sit in the house and watch TV all day, they actually come out and talk to you, and the conversation is not trite or boring. I like neighbors like that, although, sure, not every second of every day.

I like that George Walker clip a lot, and I like what I buy on Albany.

http://www.cartalk.com/blogs/staff-blog/tom-magliozzi-1937-2014 Maybe the hardest I've ever laughed, uncontrollably was one call from a loooong time ago where a lady called in and said that a horse was trying to eat her truck, and did they think that maybe it was because the truck was green? Oh my god, I had tears rolling from laughing so hard! RIP, much love here.

Finckel-Han-Setzer Trio Mendelssohn: Piano Trio in C minor, Op.66 Brahms: Piano Trio in B major, Op.8 http://dallaschambermusicsociety.ticketleap.com/finckel-han-setzer-trio/details Hopefully, some invigorating readings of some older repertoire.

Oh shit, I forgot about Alvin Queen. Guess I need to look for that Nadi Qamar Folkways album too.

I can't stress enough how screwed up our garage is and how disinterested I became in the playing of music for a good while. There's probably a correlation there? If you're in no hurry, I will see what I can do. If you are in a hurry, hey, money will most assuredly not be an object: http://www.amazon.com/Quartet-Welcome-Party-Pete-Gallio/dp/B0006M1YMA

I see that Wardell Quezergue has some albums under his own name over the few years...any of them worth having? No Gene Quill, except as sideman.
