"Last Albums" or appearances you can recommend
JSngry replied to Rooster_Ties's topic in Miscellaneous Music
I'm wanting to say that I saw it on Bravo, when I saw it. The old Bravo, when it was commercially-uninterrupted. -
Ok, now can somebody tell me why I asked in the first place?

I figured that any thread on this subject that I contributed to would have mentioned Sirius. Thus a search of the board simply for that one word. So, about 16 pages of returns, most of them about the radio thing, but on one of those pages was the thread in question. Viola! As with any search, 1 unusual word that you know is going to be there does the work of a buttload of familiar ones that are likely to be everywhere, and quite often does it so much more better.

Man, this is interesting music that I feel I could never get inside of, no matter how hard I tried. I think I'd want to, too, But unless my brain rewires at some point, it's always going to be the "look at" type love, not the "get in" type. Still, love of any sort is as welcome as it is necessary,

I just searched for Sirius, the Coleman Hawkins album.

COVID-19 2.0: No Politics edition
JSngry replied to ghost of miles's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
QTs have always been solid for me. It's is the one place that will consistently tell me whether it's OK to eat the hot dogs at 4:30 AM or if, no don't do that, just haven't thrown them out yet. Or, no, just put them on, they'll be ready in 10 minutes, but not right now. Integrity when it counts. I like that. -
Unabashed, and all the more better because.

JSngry replied to ghost of miles's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
I used to love to stop at Flying Js because they used to have the best - bar none - selection of jazz/blues/gospel/comedy cassettes on the truck stop circuit. I mean, a deep selection. Pretty sure most if not all of it was either boot or counterfeit, but hell - you get a cassette of Rushing Lullabies that carries you down the road for a solid six hours, you show some gratitude, especially when it keeps getting rewarded! And then they stopped, and as a result, I stopped stopping. Kind of a shame, because stopping into joints like that is like going into an urban Waffle House at 3:30 AM, a chance for a slice of life that you might well not get anywhere else, at least not like that! But, you know, once I strted realizing that I was more likely to keep get older than not... -

Exactly - speculative sociology, with neither a known circumstance nor a provable outcome. things "keeping the same as they have been in the last two weeks", that's a buttload full of "things" to stay exactly the same. And no matter which way any of these things break, I very seriously doubt that everything will "stay the same". All of this is much too fluid to assume that. The only thing that is actually "inevitable" is your speculative conclusion, which is inevitably full of "political" implications as to "solutions", and this is not the thread for that. Not saying it's not a thought worth having in your head or in your home or on your Facebook, just that this is not the thread for that. Please consider this as an open, respectful request. It is not yet a warning. -

Ok, that explains everything. Allsup's is one of those "chains" that I don't stop at when I'm travelling with my family, if you know what I mean... -

My understanding is that the "surgical-grade" masks do protect the wearer, thus the need for front-line hospital staff. For everybody else, if a mask is not in your choicebox right now, at least scarf up and come correct with it. On this front, we definitely have strong, decisive, and demonstrably expert leadership!!! -
Making that Lee Dorsey connection, not sure how much or how deeply Lou himself was clued into it, but somebody was.

Where in West Texas was this? What brand of a convenience store was it? Asking because there are areas out there that may or may not be in the same time-space continuum as the rest of us, and if this is one of those places, hey...times is tough enough without you inadvertently sending a crew through a wormhole...would your comp coverage cover Quantum mishaps as well as Newtonian ones? Wormholes and loopholes...not what you want to be dealing with right now, am I right? -

Yes, there's a lot of "social engineering" considerations around this event, both immediate and speculative/future-state. These considerations involve both public and private concerns and involve both the individual and the collective. I would hope that this thread remains focused on what we as individuals know to be true, and avoid the speculative (which is not the same as the data-driven predictive, let's be totally clear about that). That's why it's here, and that's how it's going to hopefully continue. The whole "doomsday/etc" scenario have been a part of our collective consciousness for god knows how long. There's been some great fiction and some perhaps not so great non-fiction coming out of all that, but this thread is not here for speculation, fiction, or real-life panic-induced ugliness of thought, word, or deed. Just want to keep that in the forefront for all who post here. Stay safe, Just as importantly, stay sane. Personal discipline in every aspect of life is of critical importance, perhaps now more than ever. And oh btw - I'm not the only one digging on Dr. Birx's fashion sense: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2020/03/25/course-youve-noticed-deborah-birxs-style-thats-why-its-so-reassuring/ https://nypost.com/2020/03/23/deborah-birx-is-the-maternal-fashion-icon-america-needs-right-now/ https://popculture.com/trending/2020/03/31/dr-deborah-birx-scarf-strong-reactions-coronavirus-press-conference-viewers/ Just as Roscoe Mitchell knows how to rock a tie, Dr. Birx knows how to rock a scarf. -

GA - not sure what that mask you bought was, but what everybody's really looking for right now for maximum two-way COVID-19 virus protection is the N-95. Here's a list of who manufactures them, sorted alphabetically: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/topics/respirators/disp_part/n95list1.html Same thing for suppliers Surgical N-95s (which is an N-95 approved for surgical use): https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/topics/respirators/disp_part/respsource3surgicaln95.html -
I always liked him. "Just The Two Of Us" was the song that Brenda & I fell in love to, "our song". That kind of thing is a part of your life forever. His music touched so many people in so many ways at this basic, lasting level, and not just in the arena of romance. He touched on life, period. RIP, and thanks for doing it the way you did it.

not sure that pasting the image directly into the reply window work with all versions of all browsers with the forum software, we've had mixed results reported here about that. The only foolproof way is to use the Insert Image button.

Try either View Image, or even better, Copy Image Location. The former will open the image and you can copy the URL from the address bar. The latter will just copy it directly to the clipboard for you, ready to paste into whatever you want to paste it into.

J.S. Bach: Suites 1-6 for Unaccompanied Cello
JSngry replied to paul secor's topic in Classical Discussion
I've seen Weilerstein perform three times in person, and she is as compelling as anybody performing today. She plays with a quiet yet seething intensity, if that makes any sense. I confidently suggest exploring all of her output, period. and if/when she comes to any venue within anything remotely resembling a reachable distance, just buy tickets and go.
