Thanks. That was actually perversely entertaining in an old-skool show-biz type way. I sometimes forget that O'Reilly first came into my awareness on Inside Edition, not in his political commentary and/or auto-parts empires. So, yeah, ok, he can schmooze by nature, I think, good for him, and good for Herbie, and good for all of that being there as an alternative to it not being there at all.

Ok, I am out of touch with whatever I need to be in touch with what that means...when y'all feel a bit better, please explain? Whatever it means, the dude sure sounded fine to me!

Interested.

The part of me that gave half a damn was not reachable when this aired...what exactly did Bill O'Reily have to say about Herbie? If anybody answers, please accept my apologies in advance if the part of me that gives half a damn is not reachable for a few days.

Bill O'Connell is a new name to me, a welcome one. What is Richie Flores' musical lineage? I don't usually care for Dave Samuels too much, but he was on time on this one. Used to see that Bley side back in the day (GNP seemed to have good distribution in these parts), always passed, always figured (for no good reason) it should be some kind of nondescript "cool" thing...should've known better, eh? That's a very nice piece, never paid attention to Carla contributing that early...I always thought her tunes first got played by George Russell, but if this is 1957...whoa. That's a composer right there, Carla Bley. Is the rest of the album at this level? The Mike Mainieri cut would disgust me for being so MJQ-ish, Mainieri himself in particular, but...oh well! Is this taken directly from the LP? Who produced? Engineered? It sounds great! And who, pray tell, is was Julius Ruggiero? Vinnie Ruggerio, the drummer, him I know. Is this his brother, or is that just a coincidence, the same last name? And consider the unplanned symmetry of Joe Porcaro returning to the BFT exactly one year later, in December of 2013. A true Christmas miracle! And hey, Mr. Alfredson, I meant what I said about gladly going to a club to hear the band on #16. Get 'em down here, please. That would be a good night out. Bottom line - I think we've established a new rule - every December BFT going forth must have one cut with Joe Porcaro. A decree has gone out!

Also found here, which is a nice listen in and of itself, although now that all the material is available elsewhere, far from "essential". But if found used cheaply, hey, why not.

Intrigued, definitely.

With some very minor modifications of orchestration, it's on Piano In the Foreground, from 1960. And Duke is delighted that you ask!

Firing Landry was a good thing. Had to be done. Getting into a pissing match with Jimmy, that was where he fucked up.

Can't even get a salad prepared correctly? No wonder America is over fed and undernourished.

Betty Roche Laura Face On the Barroom Floor

Ok, I will always laugh in the face of Jerry, but...the Cowboys tonight looked more mentally crisp from start to finish than I've seen them all year, and if it was anybody else but Jerry getting ready to crow, I'd be full-on underdog-rooting for these guys at/by this point. They looked ready, disciplined, and on point (YES! The Dallas Cowboys!). The game could have been theirs, high drama, mass release, over the hump, and ok, it's about time you guys stepped up and did this. But....sorry, Jerry, you suck, and although I'd not prioritize to say that you are a pox on all of life, you are a pox on the Dallas Cowboys. Your mojo is fucked up, your vibe is evil, and at heart, you love to lose because then you get to spend more to show how much you care more, and it's always gonna have to be you who rescues, because your dick can only get hard when it's fucking itself, so...some of us done seen through that game for quite a while now, and so it shall always be as long as you are there. Which is too bad for the players, because even crazy ass Dez Bryant ended up this season looking like some life lessons had been learned. I'm becomi9ng a Tony romo fan in spite of it all, and JAson Garret as Head UnderRatDog is working for me (starting to...). But ultimately no good, Jerry, because you are a cancer on the Dallas Cowboys. A terminal fucking cancer, all up in all of that shit.

More prophets, less science,please. With ranch, or honey mustard, if you have it, and on the side, if you don't mind.

Been lovin(')(g) those AT& T commercials...didn't make the connection that it was Beck Bennett, though. SNL underwent a huge cast transition this year, and it's taking a while for the new faces to establish themselves in any meaningful fashion. Or maybe I'm just old enough to where all people on TV look alike to me now, within 5-6 general type-zones. Hairlines and head shapes are getting awfully generic these days, it seems, which is why some freaky looking head like Mike O'Brien's, hey, you recognize him after the first time. All the better if you get good material with which to work, eh? But Kate McKinnon (not a new face, but relatively, still new-ish), oh lord, is she the craziest person ever on tv? Perhaps, and in the good way too. She psycho with the crazy eyes!

Those who wish to purse the further implications of faith-based speaker cables and other audio-metaphysical esoterica are warmly encouraged to engage Mister Dolan on his home turf, where the discussion can no doubt ripen to its fullest potential: http://www.jazztalk.net/viewtopic.php?f=40&p=7150&sid=0cf1a26cc183a08fe0cae16ae5c072bb#p7150

Sounds like everybody's happy with what they got. No sense in trying to convince somebody they shouldn't be.
