To quote Frank Zappa: I think it's your mind. (just kiddin')

Does Chuck stock this one?? (sorry for not posting in the stupid questions thread ) Eric If you're going to be placing an order from Chuck, you might want to pick up the Warne Marsh too. Edit to add: Listening to this cd reminds me of why I fell in love with jazz in the first place.

To quote Edward, "Are you referring to the original two single disc Venuti & Lang releases on JSP or the newly released four or five CD boxed set? Thanks for the clarification." Inquiring minds want to know.

Eric, If you haven't heard Fela Kuti, I'd recommend this album: Expensive Shit/He Miss Road I'd heard about Fela Kuti for years, but I never listened to his music. My mistake.

Lord, if only you had been joking...... I heard it and it was, to be kind, unremarkable. I liked Simon's quote, "John, I think Mandy fell asleep." Poor John, Simon finally realized who he reminded him of, Stan Laurel. I think John's time is up. I was really impressed by the women, but the guys didn't do so hot. I don't see George winning. If John wasn't around, I'd bet that George would get the heave-ho.

I hope you have a great birthday!!!

I really like this set. I've had it since '99. It was a real pleasure discovering Bobby Jaspar on this set.

Here are some albums I really like: There's a lot more, but these are some of my faves. Of course, Bob Marley and Peter Tosh are up there too. We need a little ganga smoking emoticon for this thread. B)

Wow! That's a scary story. I'm glad you're okay. Sorry about your bike.

Thanks John!

If there is a Hell......................................this has got to be the soundtrack.

I LOVE these pictures!

Beautiful pictures, Mark! Nice covers, Couw!

Well, gosh...isn't that why they called him "Bird?"

Hey, those Dick's Picks Vol. x-y sets look tempting! If I'm not careful, I'm going to end up filling MORE of my shelves with Dead material. Amir, I actually like that Winterland concert quite a bit. The band does get into some areas that I hadn't previously heard before. My tapes are boxed up at my in-laws' house (!) so its been a while since I've heard the show. Three 90 minute cassettes I think. My cousin has walls of DAT. He used to hand stuff over all the time, but we live so far apart now. Now whenever I go over there, I find myself thinking *I wish this wall was full of Slug's material* or bootleg jazz recordings. I haven't really met anyone with that sort of hook-up yet, but people have hinted around it. I'm sure its out there... different thread. I digress. *This is the first time I can remember using the *asterisk* method. I've got about 25 of the Dick's Picks series so far and I think they're a great deal! I'd highly recommend them. Sometimes, they don't have complete shows, but, at least you can still find the shows out there somewhere. I like the Winterland show too! I'm more of a sixties/seventies Deadhead myself, but I'm working on getting EVERYTHING anyway!

I've only seen half of the movie. I rented it, but after an hour of my wife saying repeatedly, "I can't believe you're watching this crap" - I took it out of the DVD player. I enjoyed what I did get to see. I think they captured the Vegas on acid experience quite well. At least from my experiences. I figure if it's good enough to drive my wife crazy, then it must be a good film.

"Way down below the ocean.... where I want to be....."

I was just teasing before. I've been through some earthquakes that scared the crap out of me. I just remember hearing these gloom and doom warnings for the last 25 years or so. There was a kid at my school back in '79 whose family moved away from California because they were sure the "Big One" was coming. I figure we'll get the big quake here in SoCal eventually, but I hope I'm gone by then.

Nice one, John! I like your cover better.

I don't even want to smell that one!

Hey... I dig Jack Van Impe! I love watching his show. Jack and Rexella never let me down!

A 6.4 quake.... I'm shaking in my boots!!!!! Only little girly-men worry about a 6.4 Anything under a 7.0 isn't trying that hard. I'm sorry.... I'm not trying to tempt fate or anything. The truth is, I plan on moving out of California before than anyway.
