Free For All

RIP. A sad ending to her life. I do love the "1959-ness" of this photo.

Go for baroque!

Almost a year since the last post. It's that time of year again. It's a pork shoulder smokin' day.

Rocket Man, although I'm also a fan of his versions of Tambourine Man and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Hope our Missouri and Illinois friends are OK.

Damn! Tornado hits Lambert Field in St. Louis. Damage and injuries.

I'm going to dive in after the semester's done, but I've been skimming and it looks pretty interesting to me. I can see I'm going to have to listen to the recordings while reading the analysis of the tunes (I've always thought it interesting that "analysis" starts with a-n-a-l).

I thought Bridges already did a record......?

(rejected verse for Harold Arlen song from Wizard of Oz)

I saw this list last night and predicted that the Basie would be the hot item. I would have gone for it but I have most of the music already. Sweet set though.

I ordered these as soon as read the thread. They'll be here tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up, guys!

Thanks guys!

Please do!

I had to take a nap after I finished. :eye:

CNN Damn, this looks nasty. Everybody OK?

Let me add: Friends Often Really Expect Very Emotional Responses After Declaring "I Cherish EriK!"

Happiest of birthdays to you my friend!

Well, this is fun. Some asshole did indeed rip off my SSN and seems to have filed a return with it to defraud the IRS out of a refund. Unexpectedly on this week's agenda: call 1) the IRS ID theft group 2) call the FTC 3) call the SSA 4) call the credit bureaus 5) round up copies of my birth certificate and other important ID documents to file with my return. Goddamn it. An unexpected BS project to take up all your time. Don't you just love it? Good luck.

Even George Bush does fart.

Nutty AND corny.

I don't understand the premise at all.

As I commented when Jim posted this on FB, this was the exact amp my dad had and the one I grew up listening to. I used to love putting on the headphones, turning out the lights and listening while looking at the cool blue lights. It really brings back memories. EDIT: And if you ever decide to sell it, Jim, let me know.

And still too few get the turnaround changes right.

I didn't mean to say I didn't like it, just that it could have been so much better. I'm a Freddie/Lee fan, so I was excited to find this but was hoping for more fireworks.
