Many thanks to Dan for the efforts and the disc of cool tunes!!! Here are my first impressions: 1. I like 'em slow. I think I know the tune and it is bugging the shit out of me. 4 stars 2. Humorous lyrics are something I love. I was diggin' it just like the crowd. Played a Joe Williams song to check the voice--sounds right. 4.5 stars 3. I don't mind covers, especially not if they're of tunes I like in the first place as is the case here. I agree with an earlier guess that it sounds like King Curtis. 3.5 stars 4. The piano in this version sounds more mellow than other interpretations of this song I've heard. Nice. 3.5 stars 5. Not crazy about it, don't dislike it. 3 stars 6. Not feeling this one. 2.5 stars 7. The alto sounds relaxed despite the frantic pace, and I can see where Paul Desmond would come to mind. Another one I like but am not jumping up and down about. 3 stars 8. Really started digging this one when they turned the guitarist loose--he tears it up. 4 stars 9. Did I mention I like 'em slow? Nice piano work here. 3.75 stars 10. For some reason this one didn't do much for me, despite some skilled playing. 3 stars 11. Favorite so far--a killer rhythm and assertive bass-playing. Despite the fact that I have heard several versions of this, it sounds original and fresh. 5 stars 12. A nice greeeeaazzzy work-out, but not doing a whole lot for me. 3 stars 13. Serious and downright mean-sounding. This one along with 11 are my favorites. 5 stars That's with a single listen, perhaps my opinions will change on some of these. Looking forward to reading the attempts to decipher who's who. Thanks again, Dan Gould! B)

Inevitably I start to think I was born late.

Man, I really dig the Collectibles reissues. I hope my ears don't realize any sound deficiencies any time soon...

This is my favorite Mancini track that I have heard to date, from the album called SYMPHONIC SOUL. This track is laced up with killer strings and some funkalicious guitar that suit the title of the song.

The Raiders just tried their best to lose to the Bungles, and won on a last second field goal. Things aren't looking good to this fan of the silver & black.

Belated birthday salutations, Vibes!

Happy Birthday Dan!

Great read as usual JSngry. I broke out my copy of THERE IT IS for a proper soundtrack to your words.

"JB's Monorail" is TOO funky(way better than BT Express "Express"). B) A similar band I really dig are The Nite-Liters. These guys were the real funkin' deal.

Just placed my order! B) :rsmile:

Some women posters have posted pics of men in the "Babe Thread." Appropriate protest? We used to have loverofjazz/victor to balance it out with pics of body-building ladies. YIKES!

Bluenoter, FWIW I enjoy your posts (at JC) and hope you'll stick around over here despite the testosterone overload.

As I said before, I have had good luck with a generic brand called "Great Quality," especially the ones they've had recently that have no graphics on the CDR. They seem to be compatable with any player, from PCs to boom boxes to DVD players, and were $8 a 50-pack at Fry's.

Perhaps it was a fluke spindle...sure wish I'd kept that receipt. I wonder if it makes any difference with Mac as opposed to PC?

Avoid Sony CDRs. I had about 1/3 of a 50-pack fail to write (and stall my computer up every time in the process), whereas with other brands I have maybe had one in a 50-pack fail (more often none at all). I threw my receipt out with the packaging, or I would have returned them. Sony, too--I figured they would be superior to other CDRs. I've had the best luck with ones called "Great Quality." They have no graphics on the top which is cool, and once burned they will play in any CD player. Dark blue writable surface though...

Way too young! I used to love watching Three's Company as a kid. RIP.

It's a still from Bennie Hill, guess I'll have to change it to save my reputation!

50 Cent is an MTV/pop radio product, and has never represented anything else. Oughtta call him 2 Bits, even though he isn't worth that. Never liked Mary J. Blige either.

Will this make cds which are not copy-protected worth more?

You're right, I shouldn't knock it 'til I hear it.

Congratulations are definitely in order! :rsmile:
