Free For All

I guess this would be a good time to resurrect this old chestnut...... Kenny G Plays Monk......

I'm playing for a Bob Newhart show in a local casino next month. I'm curious to see what role the music/musicians will play. Also very interested to hear him do some of his stand-up. I think it will be a good time.

This summer I picked up a couple favorites that came out in a "deluxe" version (as opposed to the bare-bones initial release). Hoosiers and A League of Their Own both have some great extras, and if you happen to like either of these, I'd recommend this latest version. Borders wanted 30 bucks for Hoosiers, but I got on Amazon and got it new from an independant seller for 11 bucks including shipping.

I also finally got around to renting this (one of those I check out w/o Mrs. FFA knowing she wouldn't like it). Very violent, yes, but it was so surreal (impressionistic) it didn't really affect me all that much. It was a stunning visual experience- an exciting roller-coaster ride of a film- I would see it a second time, though I don't feel a need to own it (i.e. see it again and again). I loved Mickey Rourke's character- total fantasy, almost like the F4's Thing. I would compare it to the Kill Bill films, which I also enjoyed. Violent escapism. Yes, we're definitely getting desensitized to violence.

Potential Murder Suspect.

The Anchor Bar doesn't have live music, does it? Perfect match- spicy wings and spicy tunes. Pass the bleu cheese and the blue greeze.

I always knew there was something "different" about him.

You dig?

......and for a married guy, that's quite an accomplishment.

I've been enjoying the Woody Shaw, no doubt about that, but I'd forgotten just how bad the piano sounded- out of tune and poorly recorded. Kind of surprising for a VV gig. Don't let this stop anyone from picking this up, but it is a little distracting.

a.k.a. "hamster sack"

I just like the pretty colors.

I was in a Borders in Santa Fe and saw the Liebman/Beirach Select for $67.00! WTF? I rarely pay Borders' prices unless a) the desired side is on sale or 2) I have some type of coupon. $67.00? Sheesh.....

Was that your one allowed phone call?

Sorry I'll miss the hang but I'm in Santa Fe for the next week.

Just paid $3/gallon in Santa Fe. Ouch!

Level two kicked my ass. I'm much better at spanking my monkey.

If I may, I think he means that he'd rather the discount be offered for CDs.

Try not to say "fuck", Jim.

I didn't find a discography, but here's a link to the AMG REVIEW.

Just ressurecting an old thread 'cause I just noticed this: 26 guests, 5 members 1 anonymous members You folks should join the party!

You should go. The southern border there is much more secure.

Kenny G's idea of an Aebersold play-a-long.

When we went to the pound to get our dog it was so hard not to take 'em all home. My heart went out to the "ugly" dogs- I knew the cute ones would most likely get adopted, but the ugly ones- missing a leg or an eye, odd breed combinations, older age, etc.-they were the ones I really felt for. I'm glad this dog has someone who loves it! Imagine being a guest at her house and waking up in the middle of the night to see this little beauty staring at you!
