Yeah, that's what gets to me. Happened to at least my first 10 posts over at BNBB. It's a wonder I kept plugging away at it!
The only one of my threads that no one responded to here was "RIP: Althea Gibson" -- no other fans of 1950s women's tennis? -- I was shocked, shocked I tell you!
How about Beck's "Rowboat" -- either his original or Johnny Cash's cover ???
In a way it is kind of "standard" -- the story anyway: "she don't wanna be my friend no more" -- but it has an odd progression right at the start -- that really conveys a kind of half-drunk, trying-to-laugh-off-something-really-sad, ground-about-to-give-way feeling...
BUT -- that reminds me of a fellow music student from my college days, a cellist, definitely Jewish, whose last name was, believe it or not, Goy.
So nu?
The photos are beautiful, Mark!
And so is the site, Jeff!
Cool links -- including this one, for all your web design needs: http://www.jeffblakedesign.com/index.html
(spamming on AB's behalf -- not that there'd be anything wrong with it if HE did!)
Don is not Jewish, but you're absolutely right about knowledge of Yiddishkeit.
I think you're also right that Dave Douglas isn't.
But Josh Roseman (trombone on "Don Byron Plays the Music of Mickey Katz") definitely IS.
