  1. Rainey! Yes!
  2. Either way, there's no way.
  3. Attemptingly disguised receding hairline!
  4. At least not until you start hearing voices coming out of that box in the corner...
  5. Good singer, she is. Now, after Sue Raney, Guess who?
  6. Rain (Beatles) Come Rain Or Come Shine (lots of people) The Rain In Spain (Higgins & Doolittle) Sweet Rain (Corea) I Wish It Would Rain (Tempations) Next up = APPLE (noun or verb)
  7. Blue, blue, my world is blue.
  8. I really preferred it when he played like he' was in a room by himself, like in the '50s when he'd stick the mike all the way up inside the Harmon mute so nobody would hear it, or when he'd wear those Italian suits to blend in with the crowd, or not talk to the audience because that way people would not realize that he was the bandleader. Miles never was any good at working an audience. Never. I also don't like how they improvise all the time. They should have worked that shit up in rehearsal and played it the same way every night. If it was really that good, they'd feel it right each time. As it is, they're just wasting everybody's time. Stupid spontaneity, it's never as worth it as they want you to believe.
  9. This is like the equivalent of instant water, right?
  10. Sue Raney!
  11. Gone With The Wind (lots of people, first name that comes to my mind is Brubeck) They Call The Wind Mariah (from some show, don't know at this moment) Wild Is The Wind (Dimitry. Tiompkin, comp.) Swift As The Wind (Tadd Dameron) Catch the Wind (Donovan) Next up = FACE
  12. I love the name of the gig, and wish it really was a golf tournament for musicians, like it sounds.
  13. The Long And Winding Road (Beatles) Hit The Road, Jack (Percy Mayfield/Ray Charles) On the Road Again (Willie Nelson) King Of The Road (Roger Miller) Long Promised Road (Beach Boys) Next up = Wheel
  14. Sorry. It's by Joe McPhee.
  15. Why Did I Choose You? Ask Me Why Tell Me Why Do You Know The Why To San Jose? I Don't Know Why ( I Love you Like I Do) Why do Fools Fall In Love? Next up = SUN
  16. Time After Time Time Is On My Side I Didn't Know What Time It Was It's Time Nation Time Next Word = RIVER
  17. Some water, as well as a triangle!
  18. IIRC, he siad that they "believe" they have found him..or something like that...there was definitely some lawyerly hedging going on...
  19. And The Captain always answers!
  20. I am very skeptical that this will happen, or even if it does, that it will be sustained. "Preservation" does not remain "objective" for long... Jim was making a bit of a dramatic point, but actually, these PD things should be allowed to be given away for free (and once composer/publishing copyrights enter the PD, they surely could be with no possible legal fallout) as a counter-balance to consumers paying for issues of the material that have had no improvements/value-added/whatever. Once upon a time, this was all but impossible. Now, it's not. And please, once and for all, understand this - my issue with Pujols is not that he's a "thief" (at least not consistently, it's pretty well-established that he is at times, but not always). It's that he's a con-man who sells brings product to market without improving it one iota. It may be legal as hell, but it's still a con-job, and those who buy the product not knowing this (which is by no means everybody) are being played for fools. That too is legal, but "the law" quite often serves to protect those with no ethics from those who have no sense. And no, I'm not ok with that. And yes, I do advocate being proactive in protecting one's self from being conned. More? Relative to the respective time frames? The correct answer, of course, is "neither". And who will be doing more for it (notice, we're talking about the music itself, not the musician(s), you mention the album itself, not anybody involved with it) once all the copies are sold - JLH, who did his part quite nicely, or the people who will no doubt make lossless files available - at no cost - in some form or fashion so that the discourse can continue? It's a continuum of good deeds being done. Sometimes "the law" facilitates the good deeds, sometimes it hinders it. But thankfully, good (or good enough) things still get done until even better things get done, and even while bad things go on. And once the whole thing goes PD, should there be any - will there be any - ethical justification for some schmuck issuing a xerox of the JLH release and not compensating anybody because they're not "legally" compelled to do so, or for anybody actually buying it just because they "like objects"? That should all be gone by then, but hell, it should be mostly gone by now, and it's not. Here's to hope, right? Sorry to hear that you're getting screwed, btw. Seriously. Maybe JLH can put you in touch with a publisher who does with writing what he does with music. In the meantime, imagine how pissed off you'd be if people were just xeroxing your work and then charging their students for it! Maybe once it goes PD, they'll do just that. And that would suck.
  21. One (not as) bald guy, also on the go!
  22. It's a shell game!
  23. Unless and until Cuscuna owns EMI/Universal/Megawhatever, this implied equivalency bears no weight whatsoever. As a lawyer, you should know that, and probably do.
