Never run out of BP medication. That is the gospel truth. I hit 241/137 while on mine. The nurse practitioner at my doctor's office said, "let's monitor your pressure. Come back in a week" I was still hit those numbers. ended up finding myself a new doctor. My medications weren't working for me anymore. The new medication is working very well. Losartan/Hctz 12mg a day along with Metoprolo Tartrate 50 mg twice a day, Metoprolo I was already taking. I was taking lisinopril 40 mg a day. During the week I was monitoring, I double to 80 mg a day. That did nothing to help.

I recently bought JD Allen's new CD, Love Stone. I am really enjoying it. The session is quartet playing standards. JD Allen- tenor Liberty Ellman- guitar Gregg August- bass Rudy Royston- drums.

Big George from July 4th Jazz Standard Harold Mabern Peter Bernstein Gerald Cannon George Coleman Jr.

I was there that night Mike.

The keys are held in with a little screw. Typo.

Saturday night I went and saw Joanne Brackeen live at Mezzrow. She was supposed to be playing with bassist Richie Goods. For whatever reason he wasn't there last night. Richie Goods did play with Joanne the night before. In his place was Lonnie Plaxico. It seemed to have been a last minute substitution.The first set was 25 minutes late in starting to call an available bass player. With that in mind, do the musicians just rely on playing standards that you're sure each will know? Joanne paused before each tune and then call out a standard and Ronnie would node and off then went. Edited 34 minutes ago by Hardbopjazz
