When listening to music, I find my live CD's to be more enjoyable then most of my studio recordings. There is something special of hearing it done live, which you can't always get in a studio.

So, I take it you have bought all the cds you want and are looking for more. I'm not a member there. I have too much already to listen to that I don't get a chance to enjoy.

Has anyone tried http://www.tradersden.org I think everyone from easytree jumped over to there. Right now the server is down do to too many users.

Many more.

I stand corrected.

Alex Scnchez of the D-ray tested positive for steroids. 1 Down and many to go.

No. 10 years ago I would have gone. Not playing anymore.

I've been to that one many times. Great show. MAkes you wish you were rich.

That's the one. I saw the first one that was made years ago a guitar show in NYC. From their web site. D'Angelico New Yorker NYL-1TD Teardrop A faithful rendering of a one-of-a-kind 1957 masterpiece from America's premier luthier. Brace yourself if you're lucky enough to see or play this guitar, it's breath taking. Your jaw will drop in amazement of this unbelievable work of art. It is a collector's piece no doubt, as we can't imagine anyone would want to drag this out to the gig. It does however have an extraordinary acoustic sound (does not come with electronics) and a great feel with excellent playability. These are made in extremely limited quantities (only four to date) so if you are a serious guitar collector get in line and place your order today. No collection would be complete without this rare jewel.

Does anyone remember the D'Angelico Guitar that I believe was called the Manhattan? It had a strange shape to the rear of the body. Sort of a loop to the shape. I've been trying to find a photo of it on line but no luck.

We were just talking about this film Wednesday at work. A co-worker bought the film for $9.99. It is a great film.

Supposedly this was where Michael learnt to like boys.

I agree. It all bull shit.

That web site is an obsession. To find out all that infomation must have taken a lot of work.

Before my time, but this was one of the worst cars of all time.

Here are some of the worst cars of all time. This was conducted by Forbes. I can safely say, I never owned any of them.

This is funny. You're lloking to come east, and I am in the mists of trying to move west, Phoenix area. What's the traffice like in Phoenix? It can't be as bad as the New York City area.

Thanks Claude, that's a great site. Now to find if this stiff is for sale some where.

Outside of "Hothouse" which he preforms with Dizzy, is there something esle of him of film?

Thanks, will do.

Anyone know more about this label? ESP

What style of music is it?

Eddie Jefferson. What all the others said.

Two friends Carlton and Joe are arguing. Carlton says he knows everyone in the world. Joe says he’s full of crap. They argue a bit more, when Joe says, “prove it”. Carlton says, “Okay, I’ll prove it”. He tells Joe to name someone. Joe says, “Okay, do you know the president?” Carlton, replies, “The president, of cause I know him, we go back a long way.” Joe says how can you prove it. Carlton says, “Let’s go to the white house and say hello.” So they go to the white house and knock on the door and Bush opens it. “Why Carlton, long time no see. How’s things with you?” Joe is in a loss for words. “Wow, he knows the president.” Joe says in amazement. They leave after some Texas coffee. Carlton asks Joe if he believes him now. Joe replies, “You got lucky. I know someone you don’t know.” “Who’s that?” asks Carlton. “You don’t know the Queen of England.” Joe says. Carlton replies, “Of course I do.” So they fly to Buckingham Palace and knock on the door. The Queen opens the door and says, “Carlton, what a lovely surprise. Won’t you and your friend come in for some tea?” So they sit and have tea with the Queen. After a bit they leave. “So do you believe me now?” Carlton asks. “No,” says Joe. “There’s one person I know you don’t know.” “And who’s that?” Carlton asks. “You don’t know the Pope.” Joe yells. “I know the Pope” Carlton says. “We are close friends.” So off they go to Vatican City to meet the Pope. When they arrive there is a huge crowd in the courtyard below where the Pope is sitting giving a speech. Carlton tell Joe to wait here while he tries to get up to the Pope so he can prove he know him. “I’ll shake his hand.” Carlton says. That should be enough to prove it. He makes his way up to the Pope. After an hour the crowd starts to fade. Carlton comes back to see if Joe now believes him. He looks all around for his friend but doesn’t see him. He notices a bunch of people standing around looking at someone lying on the ground. Carlton realizes it is Joe and breaks through the crowd to get to his friend. “Joe, Joe,” Carlton yells. “Are you okay?” Joe sits up and says, “ I didn’t believe it when you said you knew the president. I still didn’t believe it when you said you know the Queen of England, But when I was standing here and the guy next to me yelled out, “Hey, who’s that man with the funny hat next to Carlton, I couldn’t take it.

Of all the alto players that had to follow in Bird's shoes, I was wondering which one sounded the closes to his playing. My vote goes to Lou Donaldson. Whom do you think?
