How many musicians here have used them? What do you think of them? When I was playing and didn't have a chance to play with live musicians I used them.

Thanks very much.

Olny gets worse. Oil Hits New High on Supply Fears 2 hours, 56 minutes ago Add Business - Reuters to My Yahoo! LONDON (Reuters) - Oil prices struck a new high on Monday on simmering concern that rapid fuel demand growth will outpace global supplies at a time when traders fear a sabotage attack on the Middle East oil infrastructure. U.S. light crude reached $41.85 a barrel, the highest price since the New York Mercantile Exchange launched the crude contract in 1983. Later it eased to $41.28, down 10 cents on the day. London's Brent crude eased 12 cents to $37.74 a barrel. "The short-term is dominated by low gasoline stocks in the United States and Europe and deterioration of the Middle East situation. Neither is likely to change much in the months to come," said Societe Generale economist Frederic Lasserre. Low U.S. gasoline inventories ahead of peak demand in the summer months, a surge in global consumption driven by healthy economic growth and worries that instability in the Middle East may disrupt supplies have attracted investment hedge funds to oil in droves. Crude prices are up $9 a barrel, or 28 percent, since the end of last year. The United States has led consumer countries' calls on the OPEC (news - web sites) producer cartel to release more supply as fears gather of inflation and a slowdown in economic growth. OPEC, which controls half of world crude exports will convene informally later this week on the sidelines of an Amsterdam conference and again in Beirut on June 3 for a full ministerial meeting. Ministers will discuss a proposal from Saudi Arabia to raise the group's official production limits by at least 1.5 million bpd to cool prices. OPEC President Purnomo Yusgiantoro said on Monday the cartel was unhappy with such high oil prices. "High oil prices can cause recession. We are not happy with high oil prices," said Purnomo, who is also Indonesia's oil minister. Even so, oil dealers are skeptical OPEC has enough spare production capacity to bring prices down as most OPEC countries, except top exporter Saudi Arabia, are producing flat out. The group is currently pumping more than two million bpd above its official production ceiling of 23.5 million bpd to feed demand, which has been especially strong in China and the United States. Iran, OPEC's second-biggest producer, has given guarded support to the Saudi proposal, cautioning that oversupply could deflate oil prices toward autumn. "A possible increase of OPEC production by 1.5 million barrels per day would display the organization's co-operation and understanding with consumers even though OPEC is not responsible for the situation," Iran's OPEC Governor Hossein Kazempour Ardebili said. "We are still concerned about the trend of crude oil stockpiling by the consumer countries...that may push prices down in the future as we enter into autumn," he said. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said it was not necessary for OPEC to increase production, while Algeria and Qatar have expressed doubt that extra OPEC supply will bring down prices. Saudi Arabia has already allocated higher June supply for U.S. and European customers, and state tanker firm Vela booked extra super tankers to the United States for June loading. "The Saudis are not going to let prices run up to levels that could damage the global economy in the long run and thereby result in demand destruction for crude," said Washington D.C.-based analysts PFC Energy in a report.

I tried this last week. Nearly got myself killed by someone in, yes believe it or not, a Hummer. My wife doesn't want me doing it because of that. I live 8.3 miles from my job. Did in 30 minutes. It can be done.

How sad is it that greats like Jackie and Dewey are not on any label. It's not like they will be around for aother 40 years. Some lable should sign these 2 giants.

Great idea. You get my vote.

On the way to work this morning, I had on a oldies station. The tune playing was “Stormy” by the Classic Four. Right away I thought of Reuben Wilson and Duke Pearson's versions of this tune. Then I thought of "Spooky" their other big hit, and I always hear Stanley Turrentine version of it in my head. Any other pop tunes that go well in the jazz arena? Burt Bacharach's tunes seem like perfect fit for this.

Funny how this makes it seem complete see your music on iTunes.

Can't be as high as it is here in NYC.

If you want good gas milage, don't buy this car. 8 miles to the gallon.

True, but look at it from this way. Last summer I was in Europe. I rented a car, a VW Jetta. I believe it’s engine was a .9 litter. That same can in America has a 2.0 or a 2.2 litter engine. You guys can go a lot furture on a tank of gas us here. If we adopt the same principle as Europeans and make smaller car, it wouldn’t hurt so much. SUV's are so hugh both in size and popularity. They all suck when it comes to milage.

Man the price of gas has gone through the roof. I just bought a tank of gas for my car and cost me $28. Why the F&$@ is it costing this much? I decided to walk and ride my bike to near places. Is the price of gas gone to the moon where you live?

Neither have I. I have to locate it here in the states.

Great. I hope the sound is just as good as the other 2 you mentioned.

Would anyone know if Pearson's the Phantom is a domestic or import re-issue? The Phantom

I worked with a guy that would collect the dead cicadas. He would spray them with something to make them harder and then make tie pins out of them. He would glue the clip on the cicada's underneath. Everyday he would have one perched on his tie at work.

Yeah, wicked we are.

Thanks.

convert dollars into eruos. I will be spending 3 weeks this summer in Europe. I just want to understand how dollars convert to the Euro. Last time I was in Europe I did know and I was swindled out of some money. Now I've learned. I will due some research first on the dollar compared to other country's currencies.

So far I've been on Cannonball Adderley in my collection. This a great test to see if you really like an artist. Nothing but the same artists can start to bother you. I am finding it hard to really listen liek I normally would.

YES, I MEANT IT WAS WITH STRINGS.

Yes, it was with strings.

I found myself digging the muzak playing at work just now. I was playing some Cannonball Adderley. When the CD finished I heard this tune over the speakers in the ceiling tiles. I started listening for some reason I then realized it was a cover of Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder". It was like Velveeta cheese, not really jazz but still Lee Morgan. Anyone else ever heard some hardbop melted down like this?

There could be worse addictions then buying CD's and rare LP's. I could collect vintage cars or stamps. CD's are more fun. Good for the soul.
