    Happy birthday Organissimo!

    For all the BNBB complaining, reminiscing, etc - the Big O board has been around much longer for most of us. :tup

    --------------

    btw - The people who make up the ridiculous anniversary gift lists say that 5 years means wood.

    So according to the experts, we should be giving Jim one of the following:

    Top 6 Traditional Fifth Year Anniversary Gifts - Wood

    1. Bonsai Plant

    2. Pine Scented Candle

    3. Wood Furniture

    4. Wood Carvings

    5. Firewood

    6. Woody Fragrances

  9. Current trend: selling original CDs but keeping the mp3s

    in Miscellaneous Music

    My loser brother in law is doing this. He's more into hard rock and pop and he absolutely loves the convenience of his Ipod.

    So much so, that he's ripped all of his cd's (and will sell them) and is now using the Ipod as his main music player for his hi-fi system (that I helped recommend - NAD, Energy speakers, surround sound, good cabling, etc). As a result, he wants to also get rid of his NAD cd/dvd players. He can't seem to notice the difference between cd quality and mp3. He's also trashed using the nad dvd in favour of his PlayStation 3 because it plays Blue Ray.

    The upside is maybe I'll be "gifted" the cd and dvd player

    (did I mention he's a tax accountant) :rolleyes:

  14. Today's New Age Music is Crap

    The New Age scene around here just died when our local public radio station dropped both Hearts of Space AND Echoes. :(

    I think they have something streaming from their web site.

    Did you meaning "steaming"?

    ;)

    When I was in university I recall WJZZ in Detroit having a Sunday night NA show, c 1986. I admit to listening and maybe I was slightly enamoured (or desperate). I just got my new DX7 and these dudes like Azuma, Patrick O'Hearn, Yanni and Suzanne Ciani were on the Private Music label making noise with their DX7s. I even met the DJ of that show cause I had a demo I made of some new age noodling. :blush: (The WJZZ station was to my suprise just a small house.) Luckily this phase, like listening to Black Sabbath in my basement at 14, soon passed.

  22. Letter From Evans

    Saw this on the Bill Evans webpages. Wow! Some great facts, letters, interviews and piano transcriptions.

    Between Autumn 1989 and the summer of 1994, a (hard copy) newsletter dedicated solely to the music of Bill Evans was published by well-known Evans historian and bassist Win Hinkle. (Those who have appreciated Bill's work since that time may have seen references about Win and his published material included in both the Peter Pettinger and Keith Shadwick books-- and on Bill's life - and in this website as well.) "Letter From Evans" was available by subscription only back then, but now Win has made all twenty-six issues available online in .pdf files-- and it's all free!

    Here's the link to the pdf - just change the number at the end for each issue (up to 26)
