I'm suspicious of any story that combines the words "snake" and "Johnson".

Great "wallpaper" music, and I mean that as a compliment. Wallpaper can be esthetically uplifting, dig? But I'd never lump it in with "smooth jazz". Never. It's not music you listen to so much as you listen at. I remember hearing it playing in a record store the week it was released and just going into a zone while it played. Then I took it home, "listened" to it, got pissed, and took it back, But I re-bought it a few years ago, and totally dig the sound that it makes in the room when it plays. Sometimes it takes a while to learn about the different levels of music's "functions", and such was the case with this one for me. Chico's made a lot of records like that, especially in the 70s. But I find that once I figure out just what the hell he was trying to do with'em, I end up digging almost all of them.

Is she still Ravi Shankar's father?

Probably not. Scale's scale.

Roscoe is now a world unto himself. Ignore him if you choose, but it's not his fault if you miss it.

Whatever you do, don't leave it out in the rain. I don't think that I could take that.

...on the old Later w/Bob Costas show, something to the effect that the reason his old records sounded so musical was that he had "cats like Panama Francis & Kenny Burrell" playing on them. Now, Francis I knew about, but Burrell came as a bit of a surprise. I mean, I had heard of his "session work", but assumed that it meant jingles and such. But session work is session work, I suppose, and the old R&R sides didn't swing like they did by accident, ya' know? Anyway, does anybody have any further info about this aspect of Burrell's career, like whether it was something he did a lot of, or if he just hooked up for a few sessions with a certain artist and/or producer? As always, thanks in advance!

Like, if somebody breaks in your house and thinks that they're going to rule your world for a little while by cutting your phone lines, guess what? They're S.O.L!

Yeah, I learned the hard way too. Now I always try to lift using somebody else's legs.

You would before it was all over. The hype machine may be making you want to think otherwise, but this cat is the real deal. He's farther along as a player at his age than Jordan was and seems to be an incredibly well grounded/centered/whatever person. I never thought that I'd compare anybody to Jordan (in any sport, really, that guy was one of those "once in a lifetime" talents), but damn, James is making me reconsider.

I've finally decided that Landy was a bad person who did a good thing for the wrong reasons.

LeBron James could well make us all forget about Jordan before all is said and done.

Not sure, but I think that Craig Harris was already aboard. Would've loved to have heard that band w/Joseph Bowie!

So long, Lungs.

A chance at what, surviving?
