just in case anyone else is wondering about jazzbo's new title (4 8 15 16 23 42) http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequence...h&go=Search

thank you very much!

my girlfriend upgraded her copy of Blood on the Tracks and i vaguely remember being astonished ( ) by the difference (more than with any other such upgrade)... my favorite album is Desire, followed by Blonde on Blonde... (but i don't know all)

there are some copies of this on ebay, mostly vinyl but also a pricey copy of a 1985 cd... http://cgi.ebay.com/A-Message-From-Newport...1QQcmdZViewItem Thanks for the info, Niko! another boring day at work...

Why do I smile when I read this? Then read again and smile again? Thanks, Jim. the one thing that makes me feel a bit uneasy (wrong word) about my own interest in jazz is that i was interested in the discographical stuff even at times when i was hardly interested in the music at all, at the moment i believe i am interested in the music but i am somewhat reluctant take this belief serious

two favorites of mine (though haven't heard them in quite a while) which i didn't see mentioned upon quickly going through the thread are from Abbey Road You only give me your money Because we played Tommorow never knows in church at our high school graduation and it felt like a really great moment, we had asked one of our music teachers to play one note on the church organ in some places, in the beginning of the rehearsal he would play stupid fills and we said, "no we don't want these, we just want to hear this one note from you", which felt very cool at the time (and only looks a little hostile and stupid in retrospect), i had a damaged radio plugged into a guitar amp because we didn't have a second guitar player; while we played the priest walked on stage several times to tell us we were to loud and we said we wouldn't turn the volume down (actually we couldn't iirc); those were the days

not much to add talked to an old man at a used bin recently he said "there are not many young people listening to jazz", i said "there are not many old people listening to jazz"... listened to my favorite punk album again, Fehlfarben "Monarchie und Alltag", there is this song where they complain that - despite the fact that they had started listening to only the best music as early as 1976 - nothing much had changed in the world around them since (the song is from 1980 or so) don't think there is much cultural significance in listening to music; tend to agree that there is a lot of exposure to jazz in today's world, some people just don't like jazz; my girlfriend has had much more exposure to jazz then she ever wanted, she is a far better musician than me and certainly hears stuff in "my" music that i'd never notice, if you play here a handful of jazz tunes she can tell you which one i like best; ... she doesn't like jazz... i don't think jazz band was the most dorkish thing to do in my high school, chess club and rock band (where you'd accompany one of the teachers on Bruce Springsteen and Bryan Adams songss) were far worse (but unlike in the US, overhere there are no prestigious school activities like football team or basketball team or the like...) when we packed our stuff after the last jazz band rehearsal weekend a (very wise although i didn't notice; he never liked jazz despite being a great musician and getting more than sufficient exposure) friend said to me "these were our rock'n'roll days and looking back later we will think that these were the greatest days of our life. But you must never forget that there was nothing great about it, the band sounded really bad, the rehearsals were incredibly boring and the teachers who led the band were dorks" and i thought "of course he's right; but how should i forget how dorkish all this here was" looking back now (not even ten years later) these days really look happy and exciting and full of music but then there's what he said...

Said the guy who's not even a fan of jazz. uhhh.... beg pardon? I'm still waiting for an explanation of this mystifying comment. he referred to the album in your avatar (just trying to get a little life into the discussion)

just found the New York Times Obtiuary for Don Sleet http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html...752C0A961948260 is the info in bold correct? (seems a bit silly to ask...)

just for the record... i always use google with site:organissimo.org like uncle skid, it's faster and i can see a few words of each thread to see whether it contains what i'm looking for ( just in case you get this problem bluenote82: google watches the site in some other display mode, so if you enter organissimo via google you might have to click on options in the upper right corner of the first post in some thread and change the display mode back to standard)

!happy birthday!

something really weird happened with hotmail five minutes ago... i went to the site, it said "service unavailable" or the like, i clicked on refresh and the site loaded, but the symbol (forgot it's name) which appears to the left of the address in that line where you enter addresses in the browser was the little red symbol for youtube? does that sound like hackers? i was on the youtube site yesterday but shut down the computer in the mean time... (besides that, everything worked fine...)

Thanks John. A LOT bigger than here, then. MG i guess john's guess is for regions which are actually inhabited... still 31 inhabitants per square kilometer in the US, 140 in Wales... (246 in the UK)

I think there was a problem earlier today. I had trouble logging on to Messenger earlier. Working now though. hmmm, when i'm lucky i get to the point where i can enter my password but not further (except for one lucky try several hours ago) edit to say thank you Yep, you're right. I just tried my hotmail account and it's not loading. got in now... weird I had that problem with Yahoo yesterday. Got in but it took forever to load each message. And I'd get quaint messages like: "you have been waiting 2333.375 seconds for this message to come in" (I kid you not, that was the number.) MG hope the number was not correct

ok, did some googling and came to the conclusion that a usb audio interface like this alesis is in fact a fancy soundcard so if i get it i don't need to worry about my onboard soundcard anymore... so unless this conclusion is wrong, i'm all set! thanks again!
