  1. They counted that in eight notes, not quarters, that's how they got it so tight. You practice as slow as you need to practice to get it without thought or hesitation. And then you move it up one notch. If you glitch it there, you back it back down. Otherwise you're either learning how to play it wrong but faster, or else not really playing what you think you're playing. It's all about mind/hand synergizing with muscle memory. You cna call it "soul" if you want to, and it is, but the most soulful motherfucker in the world still has to deal with making it work. And hell yeah it's harder to play slow. That's why you practice slow. If it was easy, you'd not need to practice it. I don't claim to actually know much (and I'll never claim to always follow my own advice, so this is as much a warning to those who have not yet fucked themselves up as it is anything)), but this is one of the things I can say that I do know. Practice slow.
  2. Yes, tutes, not tudes...my bhad.
  3. OTOH, Andrew Hill, Charles Tolliver, Phil Woods...you know that Bley got tape....
  4. Rule #1 - If you want to play fast, practice slow. Well, ok, Rule #1 = Practice, period. But then you get to Rule #1.
  5. Just the facts, m'aam: http://www.wdrb.com/story/22246004/police-man-arrested-for-grilling-outinside-mt-washington-valumarket#.UZJbNWZLf6g.facebook Just as factual, but funnier: http://www.sbnation.com/2013/5/14/4330956/seems-like-a-sport-unlawful-endurance-eating-or-barbecuing-inside-of
  6. To cover all the options...anybody ever mourn a homeless drunk police officer? It would be meet and right so to do. Meet, right, and salutary.
  7. Yep, you reach into the field of play, you're gonna get tossed. Definitely fan interference, no question. But...does Upton catch that ball otherwise? Looks like he might? Ground Rule Double did the Giants a favor, perhaps. Scutaro could have been called out instead. To be honest, though, it looks like Upton was off by a foot or so. Probably the right call, the double.
  8. I've been listening to Creole Jazz for the better part of three days now, and the Danny Marker cuts of Indian songs are fucking me up (in the best way!). I mean, WHOA! The whole disc is great, but my own personal semi-part-time obsession (sic) with the Indians is making those cuts, like, all of a sudden the wall you though was five feet away just got ten feet away.
  9. "Pompatus"? It's "puppetudes". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FROmZkD668
  10. Has any of this been booted? Pre-ordered anyway, just wondering. I hope Prez talks a lot.
  11. Whenever "Living In The USA" was a hit (the first time), all I had were cheap radios, and somehow I thought that the harmonica intro was a clarinet. The first time I heard on on FM (years later), I was kinda disappointed.
  12. Just what is the half-life of a Jazz atom, anyway?
  13. I liked - and still do like - the 70s Steve Miller Band hits in the same way that I like - and still do like - the 60s Paul Revere/Raiders his.
  14. SSJ has been doing some work... Instrumental: http://www.sinatrajapan.com/ssj_presents_instrumental.html Vocal: http://www.sinatrajapan.com/ssj_presents_vocal.html New productions: http://www.sinatrajapan.com/ssj_presents_newrec.html LPs: http://www.sinatrajapan.com/ssj_presents_lp.html Some of these I've seen through Dusty Groove, some not.
  15. Got a link for a good seller that's not CD Japan? I'll do them if I need to, no issues, just a little pricey, but want options if there are any. However, per CD Japan: So is there the same thing available that is not a Japanese import that is an import to Japan? :crazy:
  16. The classics never go out of style!
  17. Wow. we were not there the night of the fight. I'd have remembered that! What are Michelle & Kurland doing these days?
  18. Then I saw you there,. But it was in Albuquerque, not Santa Fe. But, yes, Jon, Judith, Michelle, Bob Kurland(?), you, Smitty Smith,and who was on bass? Y'll had a five-rnghter, and we were there for three. my wife dug it, & Jon was the consummate gentleman. Stablemates, has he ever recorded those lyrics? He should.
  19. Just passion, will, and dedication. Good thing you had that instead of those...otherwise you'd probably have ended up as a hobbyist and/or a businessperson before all else, and, ok, but.
  20. That is awesome. There should be a 24 hour news channel where every story is told like this. I would watch it more than I do the regular news.
  21. Sorry, SS1...there really is nothing to debate. The right call was made in both cases. Well of course it was. He reached into the field of play and interfered with a live ball! I think we're done here. We should be, since we agree that Dawg fucked up.
