RIP to a great producer of much classic soul and pop music. This compilation was released by Ace Records a couple of years ago: http://www.acerecords.co.uk/content.php?pa...59&release=7761

Late to the ball but Happy Birthday to you!

Have a great one! Happy Birthday!!

You can even buy Knoppix at a very cheap price to make the process simpler: http://www.linuxcd.org/view_distro.php?lst=&id_cate=21&id_distro=17 Basically the process is this: 1. Put your CD,DVD or USB stick with Knoppix in the PC and start up. Knoppix boots up everything in RAM so it does not need a hard disk. Booting a live CD like this is completely safe and you can't do nothing wrong. 2. Knoppix will check all hardware and drivers when booting up so you can see if any errors regarding your hard drive pops up. 3. When booted up you have a complete OS that looks much like Windows. It's KDE and have a file explorer called Konqureror which you can open and see all catalogues. If Knoppix there can see your Windows disk(C and D station f.ex.) you are in good luck and can move your files. 4. You need something to move your files to f.ex. an external USB disk, USB stick or another PC connected on your network. Knoppix sets up your network connection as well so you can even surf the net while you are saving your files. 5. Then move your files to a safe place, shut down and replace the hard disk with a new one. 6. If the spindle has completely stopped on the drive(quite seldom) you need to take it to a repair service. One easy thing to start with is to check your drive is with the Dell drive test included with your PC. This is easy to do, just follow the instructions in the article. Then most likely you will get an indication in which state your drive is in. http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/kcs/document?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&docid=DSN_126A722713F6D0D0E0401E0A55174AE6&isLegacy=true

Wayne Shorter - The All Seeing Eye (Blue Note reissue)

Burn a Knoppix CD and boot on this. If you connect another PC or an external USB disk you can lift the data you want from the wrecked hard disk. http://www.help2go.com/Tutorials/Computer_Basics/How_to_recover_files_from_an_unbootable_dead_computer.html

Thanks to you good jazz folks! Will celebrate in a cool and easy mode today, in a more wild bebop mode at Saturday!

I ordered the Rivers some weeks ago. Looking forward to receiving that!

I'm going to London for a long weekend tomorrow to check out the ATP festival on Friday and Hopfarm festival on Saturday. We'll stay at the Premier Inn by Tower Bridge since we are 8 people. Best value for money in my experience you will find at a Bed & Breakfast if you are 2-4 people. Hotels are quite high cost near the center. There is a lot of places to eat, but check the prices. The Harden's Book on London Restaurants is quite good. Time Out London magazine give you all the information you need per week on concerts and stuff. Agree with the previous poster on the possible tourist overload during the 2012 Olympics. I would this choose to go in April. The weather will be not too hot, a little bit of rain, and sunshine if you rise early and you can always go here: http://www.suninsplendourpub.co.uk/
