    The song is "Time Is Right", and the singer is Judi Singh.
  6. Hey, what are friends for?
  7. Same here. If you have too much spare time than is good for you , you can read how at the beginning of this thread I was kinda snickering at her lyrics. But they won me over, and for the reasons Lon gives (LTB & I were in nothing like the type of situation that Lon & Helen are in, but crossroads is crossroads, if you get my drift...). It finally hit me that if you believe in love and life, then by god, you damn well better live like you do. No excuses. That realization, and my taking it to heart has revitalized my spirit, my marriage, and my life. That may well be corny, but so be it. If you can believe it, then believe it. Works for me.

  9. Well, "runs" has been a highly variable quantity... But yeah, Shaq has used his size at the expense of developing his finer skills. Look up "finesse" in the dictionary, and if you see a picture of Shaq, you'll know that dictionary came from Planet Bizarro. But so what? He gets results, and results are the ultimate yardstick of an athlete's career.

    I'm not sure, but I think there was a little period where Lateef & Barry Harris were on that band together, so... I'm probably wrong on that.

  12. Stern & Jackson are both gay pimps. They rule over that which they have not even a dark claim. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    Yep. And Yusef Lateef.
  14. Have you checked out Steve Coleman's later work? Or Henry Threadgill's? Or Jonas Kullhammer's? But I gotta ask - what do you mean by "swing"? Because there's the school that looks at that word as a quality that comes in many forms, and there's another that looks at it as a more or less specific "style".

  16. Congratulations indeed! It'll be 23 for us in a few weeks, and the one thing I've learned is that marriage, as hokey as it sounds, really is a life journey. We could've easily divorced 2, 3, possibly 4 times by now (and almost did), but luckily we've always been able to find that core of oneness before it was too late. Right now, we're deeper and more passionately in love than we've ever been. It ain't always easy, and it damn sure ain't always fun, but afaic there is no higher joy in this life than for two to become one and stay one in a state of grace and love. None.
  17. Well, yeah, that's part of what I'm saying... Guess what I'm really saying is that "blues" as it exists in life is a maturally occrring phenomenon (like a herd of cattle), and that "blues" as a musical form is a packaging of that force for commercial consumption (like meat in a meat market). And like a herd of cattle, this phenomenon can be found in many different forms in many different places throughout the world. And please note that I'm an omnivore, so the notion of "meat markets" is in no way a negative one for me. But then again, a Big Mac & a fine filet mignon, though both meat, aren't identical, so...
  18. Do you mean "modern" as in stuff that's got the past 50 years in it, or "modern" as in stuff that's still basically like the 50s, only a little dressed up? Bit of a difference...
  19. And if you're watching TV Land, you're watching modern television. "Modern" & "timeless" aren't the same thing, and the overlap between the two (in either direction) is not always a given.
  20. But I still like those chances.
  21. Well, then, that's a good reason.

  23. Blues form is to blues feeling what a meat market is to a herd of cattle.
