  1. Ain't that the truth? I've finally figured out that if I love every CD I buy, I'm just being a chicken. Jazz musicians aren't the only ones that need to take chances! (Of course, when I get one I don't like, I try real hard not to think about what I could have bought instead...) I love trying new music (especially when it turns out good). One of the fun things about jazz is all the different permutations and styles. My wife has never understood how I can buy CDs by artists that I've never even heard before. Man, I love listening to Jack Teagarden.
  2. Moose, I can't believe you've never been to Santa Cruz! Even I've been there. We're going to be working on our storage room in preparation for our move (hopefully) to Reno in the fall.
  3. Good for you, Dan! B3-er, I'd like to request that I be blocked from the Political forum also. I'd rather talk about music and other fun stuff. :rsmile:
  4. That's always been a reality check for me too. Everytime I've gone to Mexico via Tijuana, it really makes me see how fortunate we have it in the US. On the US side, the hills have paved roads and houses, etc..., on the Mexican side, it's dirt roads and shacks.
  5. Well, EMI is closing down some of their operations....
  6. Groucho is one of my favorite philosophers. It's nice to see him here.
  7. I got the set Wednesday. I've listened to a little over half of it, so I'm not the greatest judge at this point. If you like this style of jazz, you'll probably be really happy with the set. I know I am. I'm really impressed with these Selects. At first, I didn't really like the idea of them, but now I've changed my tune.
  8. Nice avatar, marcoliv!
  9. I hear the cowbell (in my head) everytime I hear that song.
  10. I wish I had work for you. But if you're interested in getting into this field, send me a PM, and I could give you some ideas. B)
  11. You really should get into graphics. You do better work than some of the graphic designers I've worked with.
  12. Great work! You beat me to it.
  13. I know it's probably a joke but.... BN has already imposed copy protection in Europe, so it's not like some far fetched thing if they did it here. The way they handled the BNBB situation showed their lack of respect for their fans, so I'm not surprised by anything to do.
  14. That's a bit too strong to be true, so I guess Swinging Swede is fooling us Man, I hope so! But nothing surprises me with BN. They seem to be on a mission to alienate their biggest fans.
  15. I'd be amazed to see Jessica Simpson write her own name. I must admit that I do enjoy her show, though.
  16. I know it's April 1st, but if this is true, then I'm done with Blue Note. I have enough CDs to listen to for the rest of my life anyway.
  17. That would be really cool, B3-er! I find I listen to him more than any other organist.
  18. At least I have my fine collection of Kenny G CDs to listen to in the meantime. B)
  19. I can't wait to get this one!
  20. I'd like to read it. I bet it would be interesting. I'd also like to find out what he's smoking... It looks like he's having fun. B)
  21. He was touring and playing 99% early VH material. I'd rather go hear him! He just creeps me out with that perma-grin of his. I wouldn't want my good memories of early VH to be tainted by seeing them now.
  22. I just got my first four Selects. Wow! I really like these sets. I've only listened to the Carmell Jones so far (I love it), but I can't wait to hear more. I'm really impressed with the value. I think I'll have to start collecting these like I used to collect Conns.
  23. Me too! Even though Miles' version of "Summertime" is a very close second.
