Free For All

I think it's "f*ck the police".

I think the bassist is Nick Tountas. Willie is an amazing player!

My favorite.

They have extreme diggability IMO.

All of the above, plus Money Jungle and The Amazing Bud Powell, Vol. 1(can't resist that crazy groove on Un Poco Loco).

"Bromance"

Really. At least urinate into the trashcan in the bathroom.

That's a nice video, Al. You'll enjoy it.

Just heard John Madden is retiring. I've always enjoyed his commentary, he brought some personality to the booth.

I think Brownie has handled this kind of thing best- take some time off, but retain your membership and post when you feel like it. I'm sorry Chris feels the need to use the "sever all ties" approach. I agree that removing posts interrupts flow of the threads- it kind of burns bridges (especially with Jim) and "punishes" all of us, even if it's directed at a few members.

I don't get it. They're MF awful. Seem to be very popular around these parts. Anyone a fan?

Just ordered it. Thanks for the heads up.

Where is it available?

I wish I had some advice for you Al, but all I can offer is hope that this goes away without any more nastiness. Good luck!

Sounds like the first line of a blues tune. "Sittin' at the libary waiting to get my taxes done (I said I'm) sittin' at the libary waiting to get my taxes done The taxman he take it all away and I don't get to keep me none" I like "libary" just as is.

Well said.

I've been very busy (end of the school year coming up & some out of town gigs) and haven't had much time to listen more than once. I did enjoy the music, Dan, but I didn't recognize much so I haven't had much to contribute. Nice collection of tunes though! Thanks.

I'm very sorry for your loss, VB. The loss of a parent is a tough thing to deal with, and the poor behavior of the hospital staff obviously hasn't provided much comfort. My mom passed in '94, and I think about her every day- sometimes I even dream about talking to her (those are great dreams). I think losing a loved one is something from which you never completely recover, but learn to live with over time. I always try to think about what my mom would want me to do, and that always comforts and guides me. I'm glad you've chosen to share this- I think finding the words to describe your feelings is a healthy step in coping with a loss like this. Best wishes.

That's not bad at all, really. Ours was a lot more, but we have some complicated biz w/our taxes. Our tax guy is really good too, and keeps us out of trouble. "Ours" "we" "Our" "us" Wow, this is an old MF thread.....

Happy Birthday!

FWIW the blowing changes on Freddie's Red Clay (four bar vamp) consist of the same chord sequence as the "A" section of Sunny.

Check out the Green Mill if you can.
