how are we doing? B-)

any word on the t'shirts?

how gone jim? totally gone? really, truly gone? vaporized?

someone shoulf jump on that squirrel! GREAT SESSION! (so paul, why r u selling it? )

compare the musician who slips in a lick from bye bye blackbird into his otherwise original composition with the hip hop artist who "samples" parts of prior artists hits to create a "new" song. is there really any difference? i think yes. the former is influence and manifests itself oftentimes spontaneously. it is used humorously to enhance the enjoyment of the music. the latter is robbery and is used to make a buck. B-)

i'm too lazy to reread this thread did anybody mention denis colin (bass clarinetist) B-)

Happy Birthday! i enjoy your posts and your liner notes!!!

happy birthday!

porcy62 and i had an interesting dialogue going on in a different thread and we decided to open it up as a separate thread. here is where we are so far: me: there's a whole section in the RRK biography about how RRK felt that ian anderson (whom by numerous accounts is a decent person) "stole" his flute act. porcy: I couldn't imagine RRK playing in "Acqualung" or Ian Anderson playing in"Domino". Maybe they are share the same KARMA me: actually ian anderson performed rrk's serenade to a cuckoo on the first tull album. see: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&t...33:8x5tk6axqk9w porcy: I knew it, I own this Lp. All this story remember me that old, and fair, complain about whites stolen music from blacks. (in Miles self biography there is almost a whole chapter about it) Beethoven stolen something from Haydn, and Elvis from Chuck Berry, and Sonny Stitt from Byrd, it's a complex matter, maybe we could start a new post about "Influence or Robbery". In my point of view, all musicians start as "thief" and later become "victim". _______________ so what do you all think about this? wynton marsalis told ed bradley the other night that no one "owns" music, everyone takes from everyone else and makes it their own art (or words to that effect).

Ian Anderson? Yes Jan Anderson of Iethro Tull pardon the slight hijack- there's a whole section in the RRK biography about how RRK felt that ian anderson (whom by numerous accounts is a decent person) "stole" his flute act.
