thanks for the link AB. did you check out the Butterscotch Blonde Tele? jeeze i wish they made drums too. i'd buy a 60's Ludwig set.

i think they had 4 "Lawsuit" models. a Tele (which i had), a Strat, a Fender Jazz Bass and a Les Paul. all of them were copies/replicas of the originals. they even copied the number of winds in the pickups, hence to lawsuits. oh shit i almost forgot. this guy i knew owed me some $$$. he didn't have any cash (crank), so he gave me his Tokai "Jazz" bass instead. it had a rosewood fingerboard and was fretless. it had a funky greenburst finish, and played like a dream. sold it for $800. (needed the $$$ for tuition).

my thoughts too.

my spousal unit doesn't like "fast jazz". she'll listen to ballads, as long as there's no 'fast' parts.

here, you'll need these:

i think it has to do with several factors. one has to listen a little more carefully to jazz than pop music to "get it". pop music has hooks and very repeatitive melodies. easy to listen to. there is a general perception that jazz people are intellectuals, and one must be very smart to understand Jazz. (a couple of visits to any jazz forum on the net should dispell that myth. ) "do any of these songs have words"?

2 albums that i've always been fond of are, 4+1 and Jazz in 3/4 Time. i know 4+1 is out on CD, not sure about the other.

as a stay at home (most of the time) dad, i get to do all of the household chores. my wife however is kind enough to take care of the bathrooms. that is the one chore i despise. it's not even a bad job as my kids wife and i pretty much pick up after ourselves. i had plenty of barracks duty in the military, and i got used to really hating cleaning latrines.

i haven't picked up a guitar in 10+ years. but when i did play, i played a Tokai Tele, 2 or 3 (can't remember) color sunburst . maple neck, rosewood finger board. SWEET!. i only paid $100 for it. sorry i sold it.

CUBS.

i'm pretty much done with pro (and amature, yeah right) sports. ticket prices are silly, the players act like the sun rises and sets on their collective ass, and the owners are fond of holding entire cities hostage so they can get a new stadium. even more hypocritical are College sports. instead of wasting a classroom seat with an "athlete" who might not have enough credits to graduate, give the seat to a student who will, in all probability, graduate and use his/her degree in a productive manor. in turn, use some of the $$$ from sport ticket sales to pay the athlete. i still enjoy watching baseball, tho i don't keep up with it like i used to. at the begining of the season i have to learn new faces/names, and i never read box scores or the sports page. if it all stopped tomorrow, it'd be all right with me. that being said, i hate(!) any team that plays against my beloved Chicago Cubs.

$3.33 @ Eucaliptus Records. to avoid traffic, i'd fly in on my Pterydactil.

and many more.

i did.

the Dexter Gordon's look good, Sun Ra too. PM on its way

ROTFLMFAO

quite possibly the worse song ever written and recorded. i like: April in Paris (Monks version) San Francisco Nights (Eric Burdon) I Wish I Was in New Orleans (Tom Waits) San Ber'dino (Frank Zappa) Inner City Blues (Marvin Gaye) The Great San Bernardino Birthday Party (John Fahey) Last Train To Clarksville (The Monkees)

[sigh] i've been a Cubs fan for many years... [sigh] fuck, i love this game!

that was interesting.

i'm on it! thanks. anyone find the CD?

if you like Ukulele music, the Ukulele Summit series kicks. #5 are covers of Grateful Dead tunes.

originally released in 1976, i'll take the LP CD or both.

LMAO.

FWIW-Zimmer played with the Brooklyn Dodgers '54-57, LA Dodgers '58-59, Cubs '60-61, Mets/Reds '62, Dodgers/Senators '63, Senators '64-'65.
