Miles Monroe: My brain! It's my second favorite organ!

this is just about broadcasts in the U.S., and may may have already happened in other countries. Actually, it should happen in Italy too, but they postponed the date, from 2008 up 2011. I hope in another delay. My TV is just seven years old, basically brand new.

I'll be damned - that works for me (tested on the rodcast version). Yep, she went the other way. Yep, works for me to. Well at least I know that I have both sides, FWIW.

Pheew! I thought you're speaking of vinyl... Personally I don't care about TV broadcasting, though I currently work in it. I think I am not going to spend a dime to update my TV, maybe my wife will do it.

I think our host is remarkably tolerant. We're very fortunate to be able to say pretty much anything we want here, but I think it's also important to remember that we are guests. I sometimes wonder why Jim hasn't gotten fed up with some of this BS and pulled the plug, but I'm glad he hasn't because the good stuff is pretty darn good. I've enjoyed this place for several years now, I look forward to signing on each day and reading many interesting posts- there is quite an impressive cast of characters here. It's really been a great part of my life, and I would sure miss it if it went away. Agree. Thanks Jim. About jhoots' remarks, it might be true, but for a different extent IME: I mean some people here are serious experts with a long experience in the field, like Chuck, Chris or Brownie, just to name a few, other memebers are real musicians, including our host. So it might be sometimes that we, "ignorant amateur" are a bit frightened to discuss specific jazz issues. I like listen to music and specifically jazz, but my skills often stop at the point: "I like it" or "I don't like it" or even "I don't know it". So when the discussion is about some "minor" player or records, what can I say about it? I read the posts, type the name or the title in Google, if it seems interesting I consider to buy it, otherwise I pass on. Wich is my favourite Bird's solo? I can't remember all Bird's solos, nor I can analize the musical structure. I greatly appreciate the expertize of the Big Guns here, even if they can be "vitriolic". For instance before I joined the Forum , I disliked organ in jazz combos, now I love it, but if you ask me wich is the most important organ's records of the History of Jazz, well, my answer could be based only on my personal taste, admittely not a solid cornerstone for "The Definitive Organissimo's Guide To The Jazz Galaxy."

Replace "english" with "italian" and "french" with "english" and you got my answer.

OK, I have marked you down as such a person. You can mark me down as a person who believes that it is not inappropriate to have homosexual heroes in children's literature. For goodness' sake. Children live in the real world. They know full well that unmarried people have sex, including, for a great number of them, their parents, their grandparents, their siblings, their uncles and aunts and cousins. So literature should pretend that this is not so? There's a word for an approach like that, GA: dishonesty. You would have children be introduced to literature through literature that denies reality--a fine way to lead them to distrust and disregard literature from the very start. Indeed! "Children Literature" doesn't mean nothing, as every parent knows, today's Children's books are classified in age-range, they are printed with bigger fonts for the youngest, ecc.. The very same happened with toys. At least in Italy. About sex before marriage, it seems to me pretty bigot, unrealistic, discriminatory and dangerous for the growing majority of the children. In Italy in primary schools the traditional family is getting a minority. From "teaching" them that sex outside marriage is wrong to "blaming" them for their parents aren't "good" (because they're not married, or divorced or single or gay) the step is short, expecially in their fragile psychology. Think about it before speaking about "Children Literature". Children are very cute and fragile persons, you can't cut issues like this with an axe.

Damn Moose, you beated me on time.

Then why are you so upset about it? Because this is a very dangerous trend. What about if I discover that the heroes of my childhood turn out to be homosexuals? A serious attempt to my sexual indentity. Please tell me that Goofy is heterosexual.

I am suprised about the fact that so many dudes here are expert of Rowling's saga. Anyway I always suspected that Mary Poppins was lesbian and that Dumbo was a liberal, but, you know how right wing was old Walt, he wouldn't admitted it even under torture.

You gotta remember, Porcy, that this was based on 1963 technology MG . MG, you don't listen to the suggestions of Organissimo's Family, the Family loves you Why watching every morning one head of dead horse in your bed?

I expect the money laundering regulations would get you quickly enough. We were thinking of this, back in 1963, just after the Great Train Robbery. Millions of dirty old notes, numbers not recorded, en route to the Bank of England for destruction, were lifted. They were all in sacks. And, a few days later, a few sacks were found in odd places. So there was naturally much idle chat about what you'd do if you found a sack. The idea advocated by an older (and wiser?) colleague, to avoid it's being traced, was to hide it, and take some, placing 100 quid on a horse - a favourite. Double up each time you lost. Eventually, you'd win. Take winnings as a cheque, place apparently honest cheque from bookie in bank account. Repeat until sack empty and bank account full. Then stop gambling, before your bank account empty and bookie's full MG C'mon MG, I'll do the laundry's job for ten per cent. Porque spending one year watching fucking horses.

The access to fresh water will be the main cause of this century's conflicts, accordingly to some experts, since it seems to be the main natural resource on the way to shortage. Maybe nobody think about the fact that in industrialized countries the main consume of water aren't showers, toilet, car washing or lawn, but industry. Building a single car needs much more fresh water then the amount of very clean average family will use in his whole life. At the same times fresh water access is getting more and more hard for population who suffers of desertification. And big corporates knows it very well, you could find dozens of investments funds in water companies. If you consider the rapidly growning economies of China and India that are the main cause of the pollution of the Himalaya's region and the consequently melting of glaciers of the same region that causes a shortage of fresh water, the global trend is pretty frightening, not for us maybe, but for our sons and nephews for sure. BTW even Chuck's suggestion, "Drink beer", could be very hard to follow. No alcohol without fresh water.

At last! I mean I was surprised no one of you american choosed some exotic and wild places, like South France or Tuscany. If I should left home, Rome, I'd probably became a nomad, but if I should chose my new home would be a city, I hate cows, though I love outdooring. I growned up in a small town and I developped a deep hate and claustrophobia for small place. I liked Prague, Paris, Cape Town, Vancouver, Montreal, New York, and I should still check Buenos Aires and San Francisco.

Maybe senseless, but sadly not uncommon in Joburg. Rip Lucky.

At the moment I have all the necessary for living well so I'd probably share it with some unlucky friends and with some organizations like Amnesty or Medics Without Borders, fund some projects in Africa. I mean I found it, I'd feel obliged to share my luck with somebody's else. Ah yes, I would buy that damn NM mono first original pressing of "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn" whatever it would cost!

Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady - Impulse! stereo.

Thanks for sharing it and as JSngry said: My respects to you, sir.

No, it's about the famous CBS serial TV about a family of musicians, "The White" , like "The Bradford", some sort of less talented Jones: Elvin, Thad, ecc..

Sorry to hear that, Joe. It happend to me once when I was a student. The worst thing in case like this, a part money and damage, is that I felt my space "violated", a sort of psychological harm, that was really unpleasant. My best wishes.

FILLMORE THE LAST DAYS, WB box set, german pressing, with Santana, Grateful Dead, Hot Tuna, Stoneground, Quicksilver, ecc. Peace

Bird played a white plastic alto at Massey Hall, didn't he? But the subject is white alto players, not players of white altos. I suspected it. Though I have some problem in general with english: you mean "white alto player" as white man playing alto saxophone only because of the contest of discussion, if I write "Name a white dog owner", you could mean both "a white man who own a dog" as "a man who own a white dog", don't you? Damn anglosaxons with your dazed unordered ill-formed language! Learn some fucking coherent latin!
