  1. HOUSTON PERSON and THE OFFICIAL TEXAS JAZZ ORCHESTRA FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2010 START TIME: 8:00 PM THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT DALLAS CONFERENCE CENTER 800 W. CAMPBELL ROAD RICHARDSON, TEXAS 75080-3021
  2. Necessities for me, these are. Warne!
  3. Earl Turbinton played on Zawinul, and was Willie Tee's brother. Hardly a household name, but not exactly an unknown, either. Close, though! http://www.nola.com/lagniappe/t-p/index.ssf?/base/entertainment-1/1186641279113410.xml&coll=1 http://homeofthegroove.blogspot.com/2007/08/earl-turbinton-remembered.html Now, Harold White, there's an unknown! Or so I thought! http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:dzftxqygldae
  4. Word on that. The "playing" might be better (overall) on the Savoys, but the composing on the Muse sides is highly evolved. Bill Barron was an interesting cat.
  5. Ok, problem solved...somehow www.organissimo.org had gotten into the Firefox list of sites from which to block images. removed it from that list and all is well again. As to the how and/or why...my only guess is that it came from a recent Spybot "immunization" update...or not. Either way, problem solved, so hey!
  6. BIG TIME! I'll try these fixes when I get home. Thanks!
  7. Motivation is just plain nuts, in the totally best sense of the word. Hot Line is the one of the stealthiest dance record of the 20th Century.
  8. I fiorst heard him on that Period half-session that was the flip-side of teh Sonny LP. Really "out of left field", and in the best possible way. Everything since then has just been gravy!
  9. Cannot see: Organissimo logo in upper left of board page. Personal photo in upper right corner Folder images on main page and within individual fora (i.e. read, unread, new posts, etc.) Organissimo group photo on forum's home page (Root Doctor & others all display fine, though) "Editing" ( bold, italic, insert images, etc) buttons while posting Many members' avitars ======================================================= Functional but not visible (i.e. - links still work, but buttons not visible) Watch Forum & Start New Topic buttons on upper right Manage New Poll button ========================================== Problem began a few days ago. Have logged out of board, rebooted computer, cleared cookies, updated to Firefox 3.6, & did routine Windows update since problem began, all to no avail. Board displays fine in IE 7 & in Firefox at work. All other sites displaying fine in Firefox. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Just checked individual settings...RTE Editor, aviatar visibility, etc. are all set to "go".
  10. "Thank You Girl"...teen lyrics, no quirkly Beatlcahnges, but....more hooks than a Bass Pro Shop, and the Paul/Ringo hookup is immaculate. Plus, I don't know that The Beatles' various vocal blends get as much attention as they merit...you got three very distinct timbres that could blend together for a lot of different colorations, more than your usual pop vocal group of the time.
  11. Which one? Not the one whom we later know as Yusef Lateef. Just making sure...life is strange after all...
  12. Which one?
  13. Hey, you're welcome...I've finally been getting around to the whole Purple Chick thing, and during all the takes of "Things...", I kept hearing the lyrics to "Eight Days a Week"... after all these years it finally hit me! As far as "great songwriting". I think that anything that uses the lyrics & melody in-sync to tell a story with any sort of "unique" and/or "personal" perspective on universal matters deserves consideration. For me, after that, it gets into how unique or how personal and how universal, and that's certainly subjective, but in all honesty I think that "I Get Around" meets & exceeds those criteria more than any number of "Great American Song Book" pieces, and that there are others in the GAS category that wipe the floor with its ass. Which is really just to say that greatness is where you find it, and I'll be damned if there's too many places where you don't, can't, or won't, at least occasionally.
  14. Warren Smith, that's a guy who's really hung in there, eh?
  15. Yeah, it's a "macro" thing more than a literal "mirroring", and it is just for the A-sections. But the melodic rhythm & even the lyrical "directionality" are just so similar... and if we are to believe that the lead singer ususally reflects whose tune the bulk of it is, then here we have an example of John doing an "answer record" to one of Paul's things... or not! But it would be ironic in the extreme that Paul's would be the more "serious" & John's the more "poppy".
  16. Because to live outside the law you must be honest...
  17. Windows 7 I don't know... Have you checked the administrative settings on Outlook?
  18. Actually, it's all been found for quite a while now. It's just not been "legitimately issued". I think that I shall never see...
  19. These guys http://forums.techguy.org/archive-business-applications/43005-solved-outlook-pst-files.html seem to think your .pst file might be set as read-only.
  20. Anybody ever notice how "Eight Days a week" is pretty much mostly mainly a major-key mirroring of "Things We Said Today"? Having not read too many of the analytical reference insightful book-y things, I apologize if this is old news.

  22. Ok, substitute "hard-boppis blowing session" for "straight-ahead". That might be more usefully specific for the distinctionary.
