Happy Birthday! Hope you're cooking up something special tonight.

Oh, is that what they call it now?

"The Horos.....the Horos......"

Cool! I was starting to get sick of the Neelys, now I'll have to watch some more. He always seems like he's about to do her on the counter.

It's why we Aggies don't think straight: Is that pic on the Fail Blog? If it isn't it should be!

How's the $$ holding out, Jim? Is it time for some fund raising? You mentioned some $erver i$$ues, just wondering if it's time. With you having three little girls to raise we can't let this board become any more of a pain for you than it is already!

Sign me up for a copy!

Just reviving this thread because in my improv class today we were listening to this great version of Night in Tunisia. I recently put my Lee 50s Mosaic into my iPod and was reminded how much great music there was from this early period. The Cooker, Candy, City Lights- all classic sides. The version of Since I Fell For You from Candy will always be a favorite Lee ballad. Much love for Lee!

Aggie's been doing crystal meth?

Happy Birthday Brownie! And Clifford Brown's 79th is on Friday!

Redskins, wow. NOT happenin!

I believe around here it's spelled Nessa-sary.

Arrived today.

Both are GREAT tunes & much fun to play! (and hard & tricky)

Nawlins! How bout that comeback!

Swingin' Safari will always be the Match Game theme to me. Love that Fender bass with the pick! Makes me think of the soundtracks for those 60s Don Knotts movies.

No posts since August? Where's catesta? Tonight, homemade vegetable soup and a club sandwich (using leftover smoked turkey breast from yesterday).

Arrived today. Thanks again for the heads up, Ray!

Just got the shipping notice!

Same here. *crossing fingers* Did you guys happen to order them from Newbury Comics? I happened to order a copy from Newbury today through the Amazon marketplace (before reading your posts here). I got mine from Newbury through Amazon. As did I.

Aloc, you are always very articulate. I just wanted to understand what you were saying (me being a trombonist and all).

This one? Yes. As Dick Sudhalter writes of the two different takes by the Jenney band, "though his methods and the way he hears the song remain consistent, he never repeats an idea or construction in any but a general way." I personally heard both J.J. and Carl Fontana sing the praises of Jack Jenney. That was enough to convince me to check him out, and I immediately became a fan.

This one?

Same here.

So aloc, is "devastatingly depressing" what you get from the Israel selections? I might go with "hauntingly beautiful" or something like that. I find the beautiful trombone ballad to be a comfort on a gloomy day. Like JJ's Funny Valentine from Proof Positive (Impulse). Or Carl's Polkadots and Moonbeams from The Great Fontana. Or Teagarden's St. James Infirmary. Or Rosolino's Lover Man. Or Urbie's Ave Maria.
