http://prince.org/msg/8/271570?jump=27&pg=1 Hmmm... And oh by the way... Did anybody really think that decreasing funding for school music programs waaaay back in the day was going to keep them kids from finding a way? You go for what you know, and if what you know is records and there ain't no ready access to real drums and real horns and real strings and peoples/ways to learn same, hey. Leaving aside the Future Is Now Shock of The Inevitable Digital Reality that's Here And Everywhere NOW, what the hell does anybody think is going to happen when the historical lifeblood of American Popular Music gets holed up, written off, Dusted & Rocked, and their kids de-funded - that everybody's just gonna FIND instruments to play, step out and over the hood and go to Blinkin' Sinner and WAIT? (That's what Sonny did with Hawk, but Hawk was a neighbor, a cat in the hood, dig?) Anybody thinkin' that is a DAMN fool. This matter being discussed by "jazz people" is about as relevant (and informed) as.... never mind.

What, did you lose a bet or something? Nah, just looking to cheapify the fuel cost. As for Waco, hey, it's ALWAYS a pleasure... or something.

After you get done checking out Blowfly, you might want to go back a generation & check out Rudy Ray Moore.

ah, BOOP!

I'm doing a 5-way carpool to a gig in Waco tomorrow that I'd ordinarily drive by myself, or with, at most, 2 other riders.

Dude, no death, no Memorial Day.

I think that a simple co-composer's credit & compensation according to same would be sufficient, no? However, why there's not been a consensus reached between Congress, the RIAA, & the AFM as to establishing a fair and consistent "sampling charge" that everybody knows up front is going to be part of the deal, no tricks, no gimmicks, no exceptions (hey, wait, this is the music business, so...) is probably part of why everything else about the 20the Century aspects of the business are being faded away like the ending of a 1969 Brian Wilson-produced 45.

Yeah, but it's still not OK to swizzle someone out of their legal dues. That's happened to enough musicians already. So I hope she's successful, too. MG Agreed. The aesthetics of sampling and the legal/moral issues that stem from it are two different matters entirely.

Another one gone... I'm just glad that some of these cats lived long enough to get some "respect" & the "stability" that comes with that. Not everybody does... As always RIP, & thanks.

I've always thought that confusing means with ends when rendering an aesthetic judgment was indicative of intellectual laziness and/or shallowness, but hey.

I don't get the seemingly random things the gecko is saying. Is this supposed to be a parody of something with which I am not familiar or is it supposed to be funny of its own accord?

I don't get it.

Indeed it is. Was there actually "a market" for this type of there there and then? I'm deeply impressed by how immersed everybody is, if a little weirded out at the notion of doing it full time. Was this type thing all those guys did/do?

53% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category. The test is bogus. Can I be a uniter?

Good luck on that one, I'm Responsibility Rich right now... but y'all got an open invite to come up here for hangs and 'cue.

Yeah, not exactly a Swing Chick...

That makes sense to me.

Oops, my bad, "Tough" it is. Never could type, now I can't think. Sucks to be me!
