There were 3 kids in NY whose family were trying to sue McDonalds for making them fat. They ate there everyday. You don't need a PHD to know eating fries every day will make you fat. This was over a year ago. Don't know if anything ever came of this. IT's the people suing cigarettes companies. It says on the packaging, can cause health problems.

Guess who I sat next to at the Jackie McLean show
Hardbopjazz replied to Hardbopjazz's topic in Live Shows & Festivals
I don't believe so... I think Cuscuna was saying that the guy sitting at the table (who I thought might have been you) was saying that. It sounds like an unfounded rumor. Michael also said that there was a lot of smiling and back pats up on stage so he doesn't know why the rumor started. He talked to Jackie for a long time between sets and Jackie never mentioned any problems. Later, Kevin Wasn't me 6 people at the table. They seemed so happy playing together. I couldn't see how they might have fought. In fact, Jackie and Grachan gave each other a big hug, like it was the first time old friend have seen each other in many years. Grachan didn't play the first number. He walked on stage after the band finished the first tune. Jackie introduced him and out he came waving to the audience. They went right into "Love and Hate". After the number he started joking around on stage. Taking in a squeeky mouse voice. Jackie did the same back. -

How many beers does it take before it starts looking good? Business - AP 'Ugly Lobster' Disease Creeping North Thu May 27, 2:37 AM ET Add Business - AP to My Yahoo! By JAY LINDSAY, Associated Press Writer BOSTON - A baffling disease that makes lobsters ugly, but not inedible, has crept northward from the Buzzards Bay hotspot where it's afflicted lobsters for several years. The numbers of infected lobsters are far too tiny to cause panic, but researchers and lobstermen are weary of the disease's progress. The disease doesn't affect the meat, but a lobster with a corroded, blackened shell is a tough sell. "You go and spend $8 for a lobster, you want a good-looking lobster," said Edward Heaphy, a lobsterman of 50 years from Dover, N.H. In 1998, diseased lobsters began filling traps in the Buzzards Bay area, off the coast of southeastern Massachusetts. Almost a quarter of all lobsters sampled by the state in the bay that year had the disease, known as shell burn. In the years since, the diseased lobsters were found in lesser numbers in Cape Cod Bay and Boston Harbor. Last year, according to preliminary numbers, 3 percent of lobsters caught off Salem and Cape Ann had the disease — the first time since sampling began there in 2000 that any infected lobsters were recorded. "We've seen, year by year, a slow, steady progression northward," said Bob Glenn, a biologist leading the coastal lobster studies at the state Division of Marine Fisheries. Arthur Sawyer, a second generation Gloucester lobsterman, said he's spotted a couple diseased lobsters in the last year or two, but added, "You're still talking about nothing." He said the disease is worth watching because of its mobility and unexplained cause. "To say whether it's going to get worse or not, nobody knows," Sawyer said. "Those guys got creamed down there" in Buzzards Bay. The state's lobster catch was worth $56.7 million in 2002, the most recent year for which statistics were available. The shell disease hasn't been tied to any mass die-offs, and lobsters seem to survive it reasonably well, though perhaps in a weakened state, Glenn said. The disease is caused by the chitinolytic bacteria that eats chitin, a cellulose-like substance in the shells. The disease has been around forever, but the strain that's hit Buzzards Bay could be new and more virulent, Glenn said. "It's not like livestock where you could inoculate them," Glenn said. The disease has yet to significantly affect Maine — where fishery officials recorded 44 cases of shell disease among 130,000 lobsters sampled in 2003 — or New Hampshire, where the disease turned up in 43 of 14,308 lobsters. "Right now, I don't think it's anything to be concerned about," Heaphy said. "We're keeping our fingers crossed." ___ LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Small farms are the fastest growing category of agricultural operations in the state, a University of Nebraska farm economist said. Greg Helmers said data from the 2002 U.S. Department of Agriculture (news - web sites) census shows Nebraska has more very large and very small farms but few in between. The agricultural census defines very small farms as those with annual sales of less than $2,500. A very large farm has annual sales of more than $500,000. Helmers said very small operations now account for 20 percent of Nebraska's farms, up from 13 percent in 1997. He said the smallest farm class includes small sweet corn acreages and operations that raise produce for farmers' markets. Small farms are becoming more popular because more people see them as valid part-time work, Helmers said. He said small farms are particularly common near the state's larger cities. Very large farms increased to 5.7 percent of Nebraska agricultural operations in 2002, compared with 4.7 percent in 1997. Farms with annual sales between $100,000 and $500,000 remain most common, comprising about 26 percent of Nebraska's farms, but are down from 29 percent in 1997.

That's where I looked.

Anyone know more about this bass player? Plays on Jackie McLean's One Step Beyond session. Is he still alive, and is so, is he playing?
-
I know where his house is. I live not that far from there. It is in need for some repairs from years of neglect. Glad to see this happen. There was and can be only one Coltrane.

Hardbopjazz replied to Hardbopjazz's topic in Live Shows & Festivals
you could've asked him if he was chinese. that question has been buggin' me for years. He was talking with someone most of the night. I mean before the music began. I might have been Lundvall for all I know. No idea. -

Once Jackie was on stage, you can tell his ethnic background. As fas as their chops, Grachan's chops were a bit off at first, but once he started playing, all was well. Guy, was Bruce Lundvall sitting with Michael? I was at that table. I didn't know what Lundvall looked like. Had I known, I would of ask him how was Norah doing? I did want to ask Michael if he could sign Jackie to record deal. We can all use more Jackie McLean records, but he doesn't do the signing. Had I know Lundvall was sitting there too, I would have asked him. All these guys on stage were really enjoying the gig. They should take this on the road throughout the world. I pretty sure they could fill up any where they would go and play. The one thing I did notice, Rene McLean taped the show. He hooked a digital Sony recorder to the sound board. He did say to someone, he tapes almost all the shows he does with Jackie. So there must be a shit load of private recordings lying around. Maybe one day he'll release some. That's just me wishing.
