  1. If you paid by Paypal you also have recourse through them, but I would first go to Ebay's resolution center. Watch you dates on the feedback- you may be getting close to the end of the feedback period.

  5. It is ironic that the sports network does such a lousy job of covering sports. I would like to see the game, please. I don't need 2/3 of the screen loaded with meaningless graphics with irrelevant stats. I'd like the news delivered without sarcasm, smirks and catchphrases. I'd like annoncers who actually know something about sports besides " When I played..." I know, I Know, I'm asking too much.
  6. SI had an article about him and a few other players some time back. Campbell takes about 5-10 minutes to(barely) get up a few stairs, and he can't stand for long.
  7. Bumpin' for eyeballs...

  12. Jazzkat, You are 18 now, so in NYS you can buy a house, vote, marry, serve on a jury, etc, but you can't(legally) have a beer. So you're responsible enough to make lifetime commitments, but not enough to have a beer! Hope you enjoyed it.
  13. I tossed a few bucks onto the pile a few minutes ago. Jim, many many thanks for making this the best place to hang online.
  14. I was born in '56 and so I was a teenager then, I got seriously into jazz in '72. My sister's boyfriend at the time worked for CTI(mailroom), so he would send me new releases like crazy. Usually if I saw Richard Tee, Ralph McDonald, Hugh McCracken, Earl Klugh, Bob James and a host of other names I could count on competent but ultimately not exciting music. It was a sort of music by numbers on many releases, and those guys must have recorded an album a day, or so it seemed. Certainly there were rather restricted in what they could play as they were mostly session players, but the output on CTI was largely forgettable. I saw Faddis in the '70s once, the concert that(partially) became 'Mingus at Carnegie Hall', and he did the whole shtick with straospheric high notes, etc. but he was entertaining and perhaps playing with Mingus helped to lessen some of his excesses. Will Lee largely played with the Brecker Bros, Don Grolnick,and some other names I don't recall offhand. The Brecker Brothers were a good live band, but Lee mostly stayed in a small circle of folks and thus didn't infect the larger scene. Lee was one of those guys who did tons of session work but you didn't generally seek him out. I could go on about more and more names that were 'must to avoid' in those days, but I have limited computer time...
  15. I'm going straight off memory here, but didn't he play some elctric bass on one of his own recordings? I THINK it may have been 'Uptown Conversation' or something close to that...
  16. Happy Birthday, Guy
  17. Also in Brooklyn, Frank's(Flatbush Ave & Quentin Road) makes a great slice, cheesy but not overly so.
  18. Here's an interesting tidbit: Jefferson served two terms as President after defeating the incumbent Adams, then retired to his home in Monticello. Meanwhile from his retirement farm in Quincy, Massachusetts Adams began to write long and elaborate letters to his old adversary. A grudging admiration for each other may have developed in their later years. Nonetheless, Adams always proclaimed that, though Jefferson was 7 years younger than himself... "I will out live Jefferson." On his death bed on Independence Day, 1826 John Adams uttered his last words. They were "Thomas Jefferson survives." It is rumored that upon Adam's death the messenger dispatched to carry the news to Jefferson's Virginia home actually passed a messenger dispatched from THAT site to Adam's home, also bearing sad tidings. http://www.homeofheroes.com/profiles/profiles_jeffadams.html Monroe died exactly five years later.
  19. Don't know what field you were in, but if you dealt with suppliers, competitors, etc. reach out to them and let them know you are available. If you dealt with these folks before at a job, they'll be familiar with what you do and know what kind of worker you are. They'd certainly be more inclined to hire you due to your experience and the fact that they know you somewhat already. There's been plenty of good advice dispensed here, and I wish you the best of luck.
  20. "A quick study of social statistics before and after the 1960s is quite telling. The rising rates of divorce, high school drop outs, drug use, abortion, sexual diseases and crime, not to mention the exponential expansion of government and taxes, is dramatic. The "if it feels good, do it" lifestyle born of the 1960s has proved to be destructive and deadly." Of course he has no grasp on how to interpret statistics either. Using his same logic, you could claim that the Voting Rights act of 1964, JFK's killing, the decline of the NY Yankess, etc caused the social ills he whines about- after all, they all happened at the same time- IDIOT!!!
  21. Cheney claimed a deferment as a father while his wife was pregnant with their first child! I think that's the daughter that he's wiling to deny equal rights to because of her sexual orientation. besides, Cheney has beem quoted as saying he had "...other priorities" during the Vietnam war.
  22. Blood Sweat & Tears, Chicago, Tower of Power, Ten Wheel Drive, etc. Yeah, even in U.K. I am listening to Traffic, full of fu***** heavy guitars, no horns... Anyway I agree with Ted, the 60s were the starting point of the decline of the music...and the american empire. The right move was Elvis' one: go to the president Nixon and accusing those bastards coming from Liverpool for spreading the drug's culture among the innocent young americans...innocent WHITE americans. ...and Elvis was probably high on pills when the picture was taken...
  23. Is Jones in his walk year? If so, he picked a bad year to have a crummy season!
  24. That group was excellent! I saw them live once and was blown away- heavy & light at the same time and swingin'(but not conventionally). If you can find 'In the Tradition'(not on CD to my knowledge) it's also very good.
  25. I am wowed and I also appreciate the amount of work involved. I'm not hip to what's passe in effects, so it got me good.
