well, I better get my CD on the canadian version of Limewire stat, then!

don't have much money at the moment, but I could get cash out of my wallet for any of the following... Sister Ray (and extra cash if Jim sings it) Oscar Peterson's arrangement of I Feel Pretty Mr. Pastorius Black Market In 3's (Beastie Boys instrumental -- would love to see what a REAL organ group could do with it) Sister Cheryl

we're up and running on ITunes now, so if you're of that persuasion, you can buy our album on the super cheap. here's the link to our album on ITunes If you want to pay more for it: the cdbaby link or you can pay pal $14 (postage included) to pabella3@yahoo.com

I often times get my yeast physiologists and drummers confused. Easy mistake.

Pianist Larry Novak's son is Gary Novak (drummer with Chick Corea and Alanis Morrisette)

Erin Davis (Miles' son) played in a band with Robbie Krieger and Barry Oakley's kids.

Actually, he's not far off the mark, even if it is naive. Just considering Naima, Central Park West, Alabama and Lonnie's Lament alone, you've got a helluva ballad canon that I'd put up against almost anyone's in terms of quality, if not quantity. Along with Naima, he's composed a handful of tunes that I'd call standards by this point: Giant Steps, Blue Train, Mr. P.C., Equinox, etc, etc. (and Tunji should be a standard, dammit) And, insofar as standards go, he did a doozy on a few of 'em in his day: My Favorite Things, Russian Lullaby, Bye Bye Blackbird, Out of This World, Lush Life, Body and Soul, and that list goes on, too.

I don't know, but if it is, somebody just got 1200 grains of rice.

thanks man! we still have another 830 (give or take) for sale. Get 'em while they're hot.

I'm still wondering... as in former WBEZ host? I believe so.

come on down, man!

we're finally up and running on CDBaby if you've got pay pal and would rather do it that way... pabella3@yahoo.com $14 shipping incl. Enjoy!

joke I heard a couple of years back... what's the best way to stop the spread of AIDS? Let BMG distribute it.

pay pal is up and running, and CDBaby should be shortly. So, line up and grab your CD's now! At the rate they're going now, they'll be gone by August of 2010. And you wouldn't want to miss this fantastic opportunity, would you?

I'm there with pretty much everyone else. I've never had a place broken into, but I got robbed at gunpoint coming home from a gig at 2am once. All they got was cash, and luckily, I had just deposited most of my cash into the bank (strangely, I almost NEVER do that), so all they got was my drinking money. But the feeling of getting robbed 10 feet outside of one's front door killed me. I had to move about a month later because I couldn't deal with it anymore. So, Joe, you have my sympathy and empathy.

Ok, now I feel bad!! Where can I buy your cd? Seriously, I wanna buy your cd. Autographed, natch. I'm trying to get more people to say this to me these days.

and we should be all set up on CDBaby by the beginning of next week (just sent in the discs today). and if anyone knows more about pay pal than I do, drop me a line, please! Thanks!

took me long enough, but I now have pay pal. Drop me a pm if interested!

Hans - I'm assuming George Cables wants people's prayers, based on Valerie's asking for them. If it is something that gives him comfort or hope, that's his choice. I got the impression from the first post that it was just Valerie asking for prayers, not Mr Cables. Anyway, I still think religion shouldn't be brought into threads like this. So when is an appropriate time? When the guy is dead, or never? If someone on this board started a thread asking for well wishes and a couple of members posted something like "I'll say a prayer for you" would you get all bent out of shape? What difference does it make how a person chooses or requests an expression of support and care? It isn't as if Valerie requested a specific prayer and said you must do it. Was it really necessary to point out that the prayers won't do shit? Fuck me, this place can be a real pisser at times. Too many uptight psuedo-intellects. I'm just saying that in my opinion religion should be kept out of this. There's a difference between asking for support and care, and asking for religious acts. For some people it might be the same, for others it certainly isn't. By the way, I didn't point out that "that the prayers won't do shit". If you don't like requests for prayers, then just walk away. Better yet, don't click on the thread.

all of that to say that when you're a dick to others, it's fine and dandy, but no one else can be a dick to you. Make up your mind Alexander. Either you're a dick to others, and you expect it in return, or you're nice to everyone, and you expect it in return. That's what it comes down to. You can call this a conversation about symbols, subjective reality or whatever you want. But it all started because you got sad that someone pulled your own shit on you. So, be nice or don't be nice. But don't get all up in arms when people call you on your shit because you're complaining that you just got shit on. Your call.

well, Al, you're right, you have been a real jerk. And you're right that Jesus taught that we should forgive those who are, well, real jerks. However, when real jerks don't ask for forgiveness, and then whine when someone does the same stuff to them, I'm more apt to say, "pot, meet kettle!" So, Mr. Pot, until you publicly apologize to all of the Christians on this board for all of the rude things you've said and/or posted aimed in our direction, you have no right, at all, to be complaining when someone else does it to you.

well, actually... anyway, I didn't mean to get all theological on anyone. I was just trying to point out that Alexander has no business EVER trying to complain about someone picking on him, his tastes, beliefs or anything of the sort. Sorry. Back to the band that jumped the shark with Hello Nasty.

this might be true, but... You're aggressive about proclaiming your belief system. You always tell people what they should or shouldn't believe in, when the subject comes up. And you try to make people who believe differently than you feel that they're foolish for doing so. Face it, you're EXACTLY the kind of asshole that you proclaim Clem to be, and you're simply getting what you deserve, IMHO. edited for grammatical idiocy. Thanks for reading.

not yet, though I plan on it quickly. in the meantime, PM me with an address. and I can shoot one off for $14 ($10 for the disc and $4 for priority shipping). I should probably set up a pay pal acct. too, eh? thanks!

our debut disc, "mainstreamism" is finally out and about. Don't really know what to say about it. It's black. With a hole in the middle. samples at: www.myspace.com/paulabellatrio. I'm working on grabbing one of those players that plays more than five songs so that people can hear the whole thing. Anyway, if there's any interest, PM me, and I'll give you all the details.
