I guess then that 4 1/2 isn't too young for piano. She does have a good ear for music. She's already been able to play part of the melodies to tunes she hears.

I listen to the set all the time. It has some of his best playing. Get it.

I have to select and vote for Armstrong. I believe every artists owes his or her playing to Pops. He was, if not the first soloist.

She wants to play piano, but I feel her hands are too small right now. She's only 4 1/2. I guess this will the instrument since she bangs away everytime she's over grandma. I'll just have to bring my piano over to my house now. Do teachers take so young a student? I started at 10.

Start with this http://www.ny.com/transportation/airports/NWK.html Coming and going will cost about 80 to 90 dollars by cab. Bus will cost 11 each way per person.

Yeah, it's only 20 minutes to Manhattan from Newark. Hopefully your not planning to rent a car for NYC. There's no need for a car when in Manhattan.

When your kid wants to learn to play something, what's a good instrument to start with? I also want to keep her interested for a long time and don't want to see her giving up on learning.

When ordering a bunch of CD's how hard is it to choose which one to listen to first when they arrive? Most I already had on other formats, but still they're like new to me. Does anyone else go through this when buying a bunch of CD's? Just received Goin' West Never let me Go Soul Sisters Conquistador Sweet Honey Bee.

I believe Tyner is now house piano player at Yoshi's in San Fran.

Green has also done the Latin Bit - Latin jazz album and these's Feelin' the Spirit- Gospel jazz album. Have any other artists done a concept album?

The first that comes to mind is Grant Green. Goin' West a Jazz country album.

The thing is, the album was dubbed to CDR. It didn't list the artists other then Blakey and Sabu. I don't even know track off hand.

What happens when you get drunk?

Can anyone tell me the lineup for this session? I have a album from the 70's called Blakey and Sabu. It is not the Blue Note album. It doesn't have much info on the album. I was wondering who is playing on the album.

I have the Powell on LP. Worth getting the CD. I like his version of Conformation. It kicks.

Yeah. I guess Mel can justify the movie now

HOUSTON (Reuters) - A repentant Texas man went to police after seeing Mel Gibson (news)'s controversial film "The Passion of Christ" and confessed to murdering a 19-year-old woman who was pregnant with his child, authorities said on Thursday. Police had thought Ashley Nicole Wilson, who died on Jan. 18, had hanged herself, but Dan Leach, 21, went to them on March 9 to admit that he had killed her, said Fort Bend County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Jeannie Gage. Leach wanted to seek redemption after talking to a friend and seeing the movie about the last hours of Christ's life, she said. "He mentioned that speaking with the friend and seeing the movie 'The Passion of Christ' made him feel remorse," Gage said. Leach said he killed Wilson because she was pregnant with his child and he did not want to be involved with her anymore, she said. Wilson was found in her apartment with a suicide note describing her depression but Leach said he staged the murder to look like she had killed herself. The Houston Chronicle first reported the story in its online edition. Leach was released after his confession while police investigated and was arrested on Tuesday after a grand jury indicted him. He was being held on $100,000 bail, Gage said. The Mel Gibson film has been criticized for graphic violence and for its portrayal of the role of Jews in the death of Christ.

Billy Higgans also played guitar. He plays guitar on his record Soweto. Any idea on how good he was on guitar? I have never heard this record.

Every jazz label in the 50’s and 60’s had their house musicians. The one that comes to mind is James Spaulding. He was on a lot of sessions for Blue Note in the 60's. It wasn't till the 70's where he did his own thing. Thornel Schwartz. Now he only did one records as a leader, everything else was as a house musician. Eddie McFadden also comes to mind. Any others?

Well, in a few years maybe Mosaic will do a Organissim set. We can make it the fastest selling set.

I stand corrected.

Princess Anne's dog plotted Diana's death. Investigators conducting the new inquest into the death of Princess Diana are reportedly taking a close look at an unlikely suspect: Princess Anne's killer pooch Dotty! London researcher Clive Mulgrow contends that the infamously vicious bull terrier -- best known for ripping Queen Elizabeth's beloved lap dog limb from limb -- is also responsible for the deaths of Diana, boyfriend Dodi Fayed and their driver. And incredibly, probers are beginning to take his theory seriously. "That dog is a homicidal maniac -- shockingly vindictive, cunning and resourceful," says Mulgrow. "My theory is that she stowed away with Diana's luggage, somehow made it into the car, and went berserk on that fateful drive, causing the fatal wreck. "I've seen an amateur videotape taken at the crash scene that was locked away in a Paris police vault for years. It shows a small, furry blur leaping from the wrecked car seconds after the accident. I'm convinced that was Dotty." The pet's involvement would explain the royal-family-orchestrated cover-up that has enshrouded the case since Diana's death in 1997, the veteran crime writer maintains. "If the truth came out, Dotty would have to be put down," he says. "Princess Anne and the royal family, who've been protecting her for years, weren't about to let that happen." There's no question that Dotty has a less-than- even temperament. In 2002, she attacked two boys in Windsor Great Park, earning her blue-blooded mistress a stiff fine. Over the Christmas holidays, the ultraviolent beast savagely killed the Queen's corgi Pharos. While a less aristocratic canine would have been destroyed, Dotty was merely ordered to see an animal psychologist. There's also little doubt that there was no love lost between Princess Di and the demon dog. "Dotty would snarl in a menacing manner every time she saw Diana, and once in 1996, shortly before the divorce, Dotty lunged at her at a garden party and tried to bite her ankle," a palace insider told Mulgrow. "If Prince Charles hadn't been there to boot the dog away it would have taken a chunk out of Di." And the feeling was mutual. "Diana once called Dotty a 'horrid beast' and told Princess Anne she 'ought to have the bloody thing destroyed,' " the eyewitness went on. "When Dotty heard that, she gave a deep growl of raw hatred. I have no doubt she wanted Di dead."

Does anyone's cabel or Satellite company carry this station? It is listed in the TV section of my paper. They have some good programming. I called my cable provider and they don't carry it.

Yeah, in fact, I'm using my mind to type this response right now. Let's see in humans.
