It is pathetic, isn't it? I mean, over 3800 posts on a damn internet board? I really can't imagine anything more pathetic than that! Oh, wait.........sorry, man..... BTW, did Winkie have a stroke or something?

Up for closure. So did ANYONE score this box at the low price?

For some reason I've never been able to get the auto-login thing to work. I'd love to figure that out.

That's interesting. I just assumed the computer automatically sorted things out as far as what was eligible for the discount.

If you liked that band, be sure to pick up the JazzIcon DVD of Quincy and the band in Belgium and Switzerland in 1960. Great stuff for the ages.

Hank O'Neal was involved in producing the SS Norway jazz cruises for awhile. When I was on Woody's band (in the 80s, when Woody was still around) we did several of them. Usually they came after we had done several months on the bus w/very few nights off. The cruises were a great hang for the band, we played a few gigs but had lots of time to hang, which we did to no end. Some of the artists we backed up included Cab Calloway, Joe Williams, Mel Torme, Dizzy, Clark Terry, Flip Phillips, Ruby Braff, Scott Hamlton and Al Cohn, among others. It was great to get to meet, play with and hang with those guys. We would stay up all night (the "crew" bar was a favorite place) and do cruise ship stuff during the day, stops in Nassau, St. Thomas, St. Martin etc. There was a great place for margaritas up at the top of a mountain in St. Thomas. Often the guys in the band would bring their wives and/or girlfriends along- a couple times Maria Schneider came along, when she was hanging with John Fedchock. Great times! I miss those days...... Usually by the time it was over we were exhausted (as well as lightly breaded and fried). Big fun though! Great memories.

Bea Arthur and Rue McLanahan- "The Bolden Girls"

When I first moved to Chicago I lived in Wrigleyville, about two blocks from the ball park, right around the corner from Nuts On Clark- I could open my window and hear Harry singing during the seventh inning stretch. That really made it feel like Chicago.

"Natural Selection"............ I'm a fan.

As long as they're single CDs, I don't know why there would be a problem. Multiple CD sets aren't included in the sale. Go for it!

Up for a reminder to use the above coupon today or tomorrow. This is a good one to pick up those "pricey" titles you've been wanting.

"The English Patient Sucked Ass Big Time, Almost As Much As The Crying Game"

I haven't had an onanism in quite some time!

hehehehehe

Wow, that "inadvertent whistle" really screwed the Colts. Very lucky break for the Bolts.

Oh, you're just LOVING this, aren't you, conn? ...and BTW, please start spelling "defense" like the rest of the world!

I can't remember the last time I was bored- it seems like any opportunity to have some "down time" has a waiting list of interesting things to do, the main one being catching up on my listening backlog.

Looks like the GB/Cowboys game on 11/29 could be a big one. Man, the Colts are getting their asses kicked right now. Gut-check time.

If Romo and the Cowboys keep improving as they have been, I will not be at all surprised to see a Dallas/NE Superbowl. And it might be a pretty good game! Not to imply the Cowboys are "for real" or anything....... edit: I'd prefer to see the Colts (sorry, conn!) but I just don't know if they're going to pull it off this year (sorry, rachel!). I hope I'm wrong.

It should be here any day! It's Stravinsky conducting Stravinsky, Stravinsky conducting Stravinsky, it's better than bad, it's good! I got this about a month ago from an Amazon independent seller for about the same price. Yet they say it's yet to be released....? It's great collection, I'm really enjoying it.

Happy Birthday MM!

A very nice coupon, but good only on Monday 11/12 and Tuesday 11/13. 40% off up to three CDs
