Great pictures everyone! Parkertown, can I borrow that cage for my 2 year old? Tony, that baby is a cutie!

Welcome SS! :rsmile:

Thanks Ghost!

I finally picked up BLACK RHYTHM HAPPENING last week. WOW! They did a nice job with the reissue. I'd like to pick up more Water releases.

Aftab, I salute you!

Jazz Groove, Thanks for starting this thread! I've been having a lot of fun at sharingthegroove.com

I've been using this for a couple weeks. The only thing involving my firewall was when it asked me to allow it to send info to sharingthegroove when I first started using it. Other than that, my firewall is normal and I've been leaving shows up for others to download. There's some great Coltrane and Miles up there now. I've got some Dead shows, a bunch of Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd, Zappa, etc...

When I read the title, " Yule Be Miserable", I was afraid Verve had dubbed Kenny G onto all those tracks (ala his duet with Armstrong ). That would be an uncool yule!

I hope you both have very happy birthdays!

When I got into jazz, I was a listener. After a while, I became I collector. I think the Conns got me started down that road. I collected jazz very seriously for about 8 years and realized that it had lost its joy for me. Now, I'm a listener again. I'm enjoying the music more than I have in years.

Right on, Catesta! Bring back F-Troop!

Thanks maren!

I hope you have a GREAT birthday!!!!

I believe that Marvin Gaye track (disc 2 track 3) is from his album HERE, MY DEAR which was an album he recorded as a divorce settlement with his wife. She was to get all the money from his next album, so Gaye went ahead and made his next album the story of their relationship. Needless to say, she wasn't very happy.

I've always had my music categorized and alphabetized. I followed your standard record store categorization scheme. Lately, I realized that I'm tired of putting music into categories. I have so much music that could fit in multiple categories. I figure music is music. I'm going to go A-Z.

I agree, it's one entertaining set! Moose, You got one crazy cat! My two year old went to sleep last night listening to disc 2. He really liked that first track and the flanged sax.

Cool retrospective, Chris! Berigan, I would never pictured you that way. Great picture!

I guess I'll wish you an early Happy Birthday, Ghost (it's still the 8th here). I hope you have a great B-day tomorrow!

It's nice to see what y'all look like (except Jazz )! Great idea, Berigan!

Just kiddin' Here I am (for real):

I dig "Funktastic" !!! Congrats R/T!

Thanks Rooster!
