PHILLYQ

Tonight's dinner was chicken parts that I marinated from last night in fresh smashed garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil. baked at 400 for about an hour, very tasty and juicy. For the veggie I made sauteed mushrooms.

If you have jazz that you like, check out the individual players- is there a very good drummer, trumpet player, etc? If so, find recordings by that player as a leader, then do the same on those recordings. Over time, you'll discover a lot of great music. I started with John McLaughlin, moved on to Miles when I saw that McLaughlin was on a recording of Miles, then discovered tons of great people as a result.

Berigan, Happy Birthday and I hope all turns out well for you and yours. Various aliens and two-headed cats wish you well, also and thank you for posting their stories.

That would explain his girth...

hey wait a minute here ... isn't that guy on the left a law student on the west coast? the hat's throwin' me as i thought fer sure he was more inta hank than the count. The Count hat is for when he tries to convince her to sing naked in front of a big band!

Got an address for Dizzys or a url? 7/4, It's right by Lincoln Center, jalc.org

What he said!

Plan 9 had paper plates as flying saucers! One of the 'actors', I believe a large wrestler, died during filming and was replaced by a guy about half his size. The replacement did keep his cape up to give the 'illusion' that he was much bigger. GA Russell, get ahold of it and watch it with some friends for a laugh- it's bigtime hoot.

SS1, Is that the cover to 'Legalize it'?

I should tell my sister to write a book about Blake now- she works in the LA County jail and gave him an EKG(I told her many times to give OJ a needle and write a book titled 'OJ, the Needle & Me'!) once, that may qualify as knowledge these days.

I forgot to mention that I received my Righteous Buddha discs from ScottB- many thanks for the great grooves contained therein.

Why didn't they just kick his ass and leave it at that? Now we have courts, schools, criminal records, etc. involved over a stupid prank. At least that's how folks settled stuff like that before we became lawsuit/arrest happy.

Verrrry cool Are there alternate takes or false starts?

It rests easy on a burner without need of a ring and can be used on any type of range, gas, electric. I've had both the flat and rounded bottom woks, and both work quite well.

Yum. Do fresh oregano & parsley do anything for that recipe, or is dried better? Anytime you have the chance it's almost always better to use fresh parsley rather than dried. The difference in flavor is huge.

Yesterday was broiled scrod for me and my wife and stir fried chicken & broccolli for my son(He doesn't like fish.) Tonight was broiled chiocken cutlets with a Cajun dry spice rub- first time I tried this spice rub like this, and it was verrrry good!

Maybe you're thinking of CD Universe- they accept Paypal.

Say Clem, is that on Bedford Ave. or Fulton St.? Let me know, 'cause now I'm getting a hankering for some brisket and I'm not up for hours of smoking.

The Jets lost two good players in Jordan & Ferguson- Now they have to find a defensive lineman, which I think EVERYONE is looking for, and no way do they get a backup running back as good as Jordan. The Raiders seem to have improved quite a bit with adding Moss(Not a bad deal for the Vikings- they get the 7th pick in the draft + another pick, and they get to clear off some cap room) and signing Jordan. Kerry Collins has some people to get the ball to who can score with it. There are still a lot of players available who could shine with the right team.

I've been lucky to have been at a bunch of memorable concerts, but one sticks out. In April of '74, I went to see Sonny Rollins at Carnegie Hall, and his special guest was to be Freddie Hubbard. Freddie was a no-show that night, and I was OK with that, as seeing Sonny Rollins was quite enough for me. Rollins played a set with his band, then he brought out the first special guest- it was Diz! He was in fine form, improvising some blues lyrics and playing some incredible trumpet. In the middle of one of the tunes with Diz an upright bass came through the curtain with hands already playing it, followed by the body- Mingus! I nearly crapped my pants from excitement! Here I was, not yet 18, into jazz for about two years, and three legends of the music were together on stage having a ball. The music swung like crazy and was so relaxed that it felt like we were in Sonny's living room and a few friends just popped in for a visit. The sheer joy and excitement was palpable in Carnegie Hall that night. Too bad it wasn't recorded...

Happy Birthday, Johnny E! You got little Milo as a special birthday present(My wife said that to me about my son-his birthday is 11 days before mine). Enjoy and sleeeeeeeeeep if you can.

Those are two good signings. Wonder when the Pats will turn from releasing people to signing them? Say Conn, If I'm not mistaken the Pats have a whole lot of draft picks, and given their excellent drafting record they may be sitting very pretty with young, cheap players. That's the salary cap dream.

I laughed so hard I choked. At least we can be thankful that they can't have kids!

Lost Grooves is in the house! Thanks Paul. BTW, this cd has the alt take of Brother Soul from Lou's Say it Loud cd just re-issued by Water which I don't think is on the Water reissue. So greater still. Yeah, I know it Brad. That alternate take is terrific and I don't have another copy. But it was worth it. You were really nice to offer Scottb your copy of "Basra." Enjoy! This is exactly the spirit that 'Pay it Forward' brings forth! Bravo!!!
