Temp Agencies are some of the dumbest people on the planet (next to DMV employees). The only jobs I get called on are "Cell Center" jobs, I've told every single one of these temp agences MULTIPLE times that I DO NOT DO FUCKING CALL CENTER jobs. So, I get 5 emails this morning, 5 (!) from various temp agencies in Austin offering up "AN EXCITING ASSIGNMENT OPPORTUNITY!". Every single one of the 5 emails I received....were about MOTHERFUCKING CALL CENTER JOBS!!!!!!!!! I'm beginning to think these are the only jobs in Austin. "Thank you for your kind offer. As I have indicated on numerous occasions in the past, working in a call center is not the appropriate match for my job skills. Please do not send offers that require working in a call center or answering the phone more than 50% of the time. SIncerely...."

this is a fake album cover, used to make fun of a rather silly band, but it was SO funny that I thought it deserved to posted somewhere....

I'm hoping I didn't bother the neighbors by crying hysterically on the front porch for damn near an hour. I know I freaked out my cat, she's still hiding from me.

Good decision.

I want to vanish. I want to morph into the butterfly, I've been the caterpillar my entire life. I want to change my name, identity, sever all ties, restart my life from scratch. I want to stop being the embarrassment and burden of my family. I want to get the fuck out and go somewhere where nobody knows me. I want to live somewhere where I'm WANTED, not somewhere where I'm TOLERATED. I want to either achieve my dreams, or die. No "settling" for a life of perceived comfort that's all a sham. I want the psychiatric profession to be exposed for the Charlatans they are. I want organized religion to go down burning. I want to solve the Mid East Peace Crisis...kick everyone out of that Jerusalem, nuke the entire area from space. No land, nothing to fight over. I want to tax ALL FUCKING CHURCHES. I want a world that I want to be a part of. This one ain't it.

re-watched the last 2 episodes of BONES, I love that damn show. In the process of re-watching "That 70's Show" Season 7 in tandem with too many other things. LOL

Not sure if we're dealing with a Codger here or not....but this guy's sense of humor kills me. Check out this Ebay listing. http://cgi.ebay.co.u...#ht_1727wt_1179

FUCK!

Hope you feel much better soon. one minute, hour, day, week at a time. It's like jogging through Jello, but I'll get there eventually.

Maybe he's referring to The Red Menace?

Elvin is thinking..."I got me a naked silver bitch behind that boulder, snap that picture, I got bidness to attend to...."

Why is she silver?

I think Pearson was more subtle than what Blakey would have been looking for. Just a hunch.

I think it's very cool that you're here and sharing your stories with us. Thanks!

Well, Duke was really the "house arranger" during that era, so his stamp is on a large majority of the sessions. This is more obvious on some albums than others. Lee Morgan's Charisma is another album where Duke isn't listed specifically as arranger, but it couldn't be anyone else doing those charts. Idle Moments is essentially a Pearson date as well.

he was great as "Bonesaw" in the first Spiderman movie. My best friend Gary was a huge wrestling fan, so I saw most of these guys during their 80's prime. My favorite was Piper, but Savage was right there with him for pure entertainment value. It's just sad that the entertainment takes such a toll on the performers.

this is a Duke Pearson leader date in all but name: 5 of the six original songs (Hobo Joe by Joe Henderson), arrangements, piano and liner notes. So Sweet My Little Girl is one of the most beautiful ballads recorded during this era.

I agree with you Tom 1960.It has been there on on Amazon sitting for a long time.As for thoughts.I think it was some graet playing on this album.Duke Pearson could write to make small groups sound like Big Bands.The playing throughout is nice.Freddie Hubbard is always good.And I personally like it because of Wiillie Wilson,one of Duke Pearsons childhood friends that this album started out to be.Although he never finished it due to his untimeley death.Duke Perason deicated it in honor of his dear friend.Hence the name we all know (Dedication) ! Thanks for that information, never knew the reason behind the title. Welcome to the board!

Very cool!

Impossible to choose for me, Pearson is one of my absolute favorites. Whether playing or producing or arranging or any combination thereof, if he's involved with a session there's going to be a certain level of polish and class brought to the proceedings. His piano playing gets shortchanged I think, people should listen to the trio record "Bags Groove" on Black Lion for a taste of that side.

watched the "Bones" season finale, still enjoying the series very much and looking forward to next season! Today, I plan on watching the second telefilm in the "SHERLOCK" series, the first one was a great fun.
