That's the point! It was a harmless joke--but one that lots of women wouldn't find funny at all. So it intersects the point that had been made (be careful with casual comments because you might be pressing someone's button) and the question that had been asked (wonder why more women don't hang around here). And Chris, I'm not saying you're a despicable misogynist driving women away from Organissimo. Rachel, for example, took it as a joke and replied in kind. But that's just it--anybody can toss off a joke or a little bit of sarcasm without bad intent, you or me or anyone, and it's no big deal for most people, but there might be collateral damage. Maybe I'm being too earnest. Yep, but what I think is that if someone is offend unintenionally by someone else's comment, he/she should be able to reply and explain, maybe via PM if the thing is too personal for a public answer, without leaving with disdain. They call it "communication".

No, his real name is Clifford Brown, yeah, that one. I and the others members who met him personally can testify it. He explained us that he was actually bored about how the jazz was going at times, so he decided to arrange a fake incident and retire in Paris where he pursued the research of the Perfect Music. From his latest decision I guess he didn't find it, yet. Good Luck, Glifford! Sure, but the guy still can PLAY the trumpet! Regards, Duke Ellington at his 108 (member formerly known as EKE BBB) Yeah, he play better then never.

respectfully requesting Organissimo versions of "Backdoor Santa" by Clarence Carter "Christmas In Jail-- Ain't That A Pain?" by Leroy Carr "If We Make It Through December" by Merle Haggard mucho gracias, edc Respectfully requesting Organissimo version of All Along The Watchtower (Zimmermann). Funky version, please. I know, not a holyday tunes, but I never get tired of it.

Easier to say then to do. Human mind (or psychology) is an extremely complicated mistery. Actually who knows wich deep feelings a post is going to touch in you, or me? A post can hurt you because of your personal history, even unconsciously traumas, who knows? I don't know you deeply, maybe some of my comments, that other people could find harmless and pretty polite, could touch some of your hidden nerves. To some extent figthing is unavoidable. BUT, for sure, adult and reasonable people could compose a dispute, that's the main point. IMHO.

Funny coincidence. Lately I got a big bunch of vinyl for free from a friend of a friend, among them there was a Peter Nero's record. I trashed most of them, including Nero's one. Now I know I was right. As they say: The enemy of my enemy is my friend" or it was "The friend of my enemy is my enemy" or "The Enemy of my friend..."? Nevermind, that record was unlistenable anyway.

They're invited to my place for the holidays. I see then I'll forward some of the Viagra's spam Chris sent me, I bet you'll need it.

Obviously the Forum is without a driver, maybe the donations are much higher then we suspected and at this very moment, the Band and his families are flying to Grand Cayman where they have a life-long gig as resident orchestra at Marguerita's Resort.

Is this one of those things we can blame on catesta? Don't know, maybe...ask to the moderators...

Yep, take the good side of the coin: if some left because of the general rudeness that people like me and you create over here, we don't have to move the forum on a bigger server...and will save money!

Though I understand brownie's feelings on dedicating too much time to this board, I'm also one of those who think that the Big O won't be the same without him. Anyway, we'll stay in touch, of course! Count me in for additional (and hopefully regular) trips to Paris. Seeking through those second hand jazz stores with you and enjoying a wonderful meal and a marvellous bottle of French wine at your place is one of the greatest pleasures of travelling to Paris. Ah, and if you reconsider avoiding Madrid in your trips to Spain.... there's a Muga Reserva Special of 1994 vintage waiting for you in my modest cellar! Best regards, Agustín Well, if Brownie didn't come, I'd consider that bottle! I suspect Catesta are typing the same comment.

Archive!!!! Anything can happen (server failures, etc)! I know that Jim already has the info, but it might be useful for him to have this particular list (now 79), so I could simply hand it over to him. If I get approval from list people, I am open to any protected disposition--give me guidance, Organistas. I didn't even bother to try to protect my email by using [at] instead of @, so do with it what you wish, Chris. Same here. Obviously I take you as responsable for all the Viagra's spams I'll get in the mail from now on.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_fraud Thanks Claude! At the end of wiki you posted there is a line about italian scandal: 23 people died.

In Italy we had a great scandal about wine: they added methanol, several deaths. 1986 I think.

Volkher, you'll be more than welcome. There are still plenty of good wines to taste. And hopefully more Jazz in Paris releases by then! Damn, I envy these Parisiennes, where did you get your classy charme? Bordeax, Cotes du Rhone? Bordeaux, it has to be. I have no choice. I married a girl from Bordeaux. Our son is finishing his medical studies in Bordeaux and plans to settle there! :P I see, it will never works for me anymore, too many years of Chianti.

Yep, this is not a Middle East crisis, we don't need any Henry Kissinger-likes over here.

He'll be forever in your heart...and sticked to your arteries.

Nor had I, but I had a dog who loved bacon. Oh man ain't that the truth! In fact, when we make bacon with Sunday Brunch - not very often - we pour off the grease into a small glass and pour it over their dinner. Very healthy treat, highly recommended for dog owners. I said I HAD a dog.

A suggestion for saving cost: move the server to Russia and open an encypher bank account for donation at the Cayman or Luxembourg or Switzerland. Ubu and Claude, could you do something about that? Sorry, I need to post some stupid things, now and then.

I am here for a mistake, lost the road at the last traffic light, the guy told me that I have to turn right, or left...mmmhh, I don't remember. Well, since I am here I wish to ask: who are the fighting bulls Jim are referring to in the thread about Forum Closing Down? I wish to tell them that Di Maggio was the all times best, no matter what do you think.

Yep, and like in Amsterdam, you can have a BEER at mcdonald. Vincent vega would be pleased. lazaro vega would be pleased. Never understood how can one appreciate a Mac Menù with Coca Cola. I mean hot french fries, mayonnaise and cold beer... maybe the doomday of my silhouette, but the resurrection day of my junkfoodness. Does it exist junkfoodness in english?
