Calling Christiern!!!!!

Sadly, no. but it is a great piece!

I LIVE!!!!!! Like a phoenix i rise up! Just in time to go . . . . .to work?!!! Oh well, at least I beat this thing!

Thought I would class up the joint! Bazille, Frédéric (1841-70). French painter, one of the early Impressionist group. As a student in Gleyre's studio in Paris (1862) he befriended Monet, Renoir, and Sisley, with whom he painted out of doors at Fontainebleau and in Normandy. He was, however, primarily a figure painter rather than a landscapist, his best-known work being the large Family Reunion (Musée d'Orsay, Paris, 1867-68). Bazille was killed in action during the Franco-Prussian War, cutting short a promising career. He came from a wealthy family and had given generous financial support to Monet and Renoir.

"suicide?" I think NOT!

Gene Ammons is one of my all time favorites! I just discovered that one of our own, Christiern did the liner notes for "The Boss is Back!" My hope is that we can persuade Christiern to tell us some "insider" Gene Ammons stories!

Elliott Smith Case Not Closed Wed Dec 31, 4:30 PM ET Add Entertainment - E! Online to My Yahoo! By Josh Grossberg Sad-song troubadour Elliott Smith was thought to have died by his own hand two months ago. Now, those investigating the presumed suicide of the 34-year-old folk-rocker aren't so sure. A statement issued this week by the Los Angeles County coroner has clouded the case, saying officials have been unable to determine whether Smith was the one who initiated the two "penetrating stab wounds" in his chest. Therefore, an official cause of death has not yet been filed. "Despite a comprehensive and ongoing inquiry into the death by the LAPD (news - web sites) detectives and coroner investigators together with a thorough examination by the coroner's pathologist, the mode of death remains 'undetermined' due to incomplete knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the death," the coroner's office said in a press statement. The coroner says the wounds could have been inflicted either by Smith or a second party. The body of the brooding singer-songwriter was discovered October 21 in the kitchen of his Los Angeles apartment. Given Smith's history of drug and alcohol abuse and depression (he was once dubbed "the unhappiest man in the land" and his most famous song was "Miss Misery"), police initially declared the case a suicide. But toxicology tests showed no drugs in Smith's system and, with the coroner's most recent pronouncement, authorities say they plan to revisit the suicide theory. The coroner's office will revisit the case should new information surface; until then, the file will remain open. Smith rose through the indie ranks in the '90s with fragile melodies that stood in stark contract to the grunge, nu-metal and rap dominating radio. He released his solo debut, Roman Candle, in 1994, and received critical acclaim for 1997's Either/Or. Smith's music caught the attention of director Gus Van Sant, who included several of the singer's tracks on the Good Will Hunting Soundtrack (1997), the most popular of which, "Miss Misery," earned Smith a surprise Oscar nomination for Best Original Song. His major-label debut, XO, was released the following year on DreamWorks Records. In August, Smith released the vinyl single "Pretty (Ugly Before)" with the flip side, "A Distorted Reality Is Now a Necessity to Be Free." It was his first recorded work since the 2000 album, Figure 8.

Congratulations! B)

pardon the small hijack, but wasn't there a one armed drummer for a rock band in the 80's? i can't recall his name. i wonder how he did his padiddles?

be afraid, be very afraid.

Why were you wasting time takin' Pictures?? Hey, I just had a thought, say to the misses, "Hey hon, just posted some photos of you, on a thread called Catfights!" Oh, to be a fly on the wall then!

oh yeah i can see what you mean. who would find this "remotely attractive"?

I've had it for 4 freakin days now and i still feel like @#%&!!!! sorry, i just had to vent. In the interests of maintaining domestic tranquility i thought I would do it here! At least I get to catch up on the stack of "to be played next" cd's that I always seem to accumulate!

That was fun! Thanks! DO ANOTHER!!!!!

I have been listening to Cyrus Chestnut lately and I am blown away by him! His "Soul Food" (2001) is incredible and includes as sidemen McBride, Stefan Harris & James Carter. But now it got me thinking. . . . is Cyrus the reincarnation of Art Tatum? I'm sure somebody out there knows the truth!

I saw Les Paul there earlier this year and the acoustics were terrific. Sounds like the sound engineer with Tyner was not on the ball! B)

HEY! How about Carryin' on?!!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!
