It used to be happening around 9:00 PM EST but I've not seen much activity lately.

I agree with all the kind things said here. Thanks again guys. A donation will be coming your way.

JM dropped me a line. All is okay just taking a little breather while trying to adjust to the new surroundings. So it appears both AfricaBrass and Jazzmoose are fine and dandy.

Glad to see you here, Jeff.

Another birthday? Have a great one!

These birthdays keep coming earlier and earlier. Have a very happy birthday, Patricia.

Is that guy levitating?

Oh yeah..... Have a great one!

"The crazy thing was, the pilot just told the flight attendants to wear their seat belts and never even bothered to comfort the passengers". This is the shit that really pisses me off. There was a time when commercial pilots went out of there way to speak to passengers. They seem to have forgotten that people like to here from the pilots and in rough situations it helps to keep people calm when you ket them know what the hell is going on. These days you get a two second "welcome aboard" and a 3 second "thanks for flying....."! Thanks for nothing. My worst flight was from Chicago to St. Louis. An early morning flight on a DC-9 (not long after the valujet crash). There were major storms and several tornado warnings. We were supposed to be taking the long route to avoid the bad weather, so said the Captain. About an hour later he was back on the mic telling us we were going to have to go through it or land somewhere else. It was the nastiest bumpiest damn ride I've ever had with what seemed like a sideways landing to finish it off. I thought the airplane was going to collapse from the shaking. I really did not want to get on my connecting flight back to Phoenix, but I did. The flight back was fine and the Captain (old school white hair type) was yacking it up all the way.

Have a very happy birthday, wherever you are! Hope to see you back here some day.

Minestrone soup with fresh bread. That's all I need.

George was awesome. We caught half of the first set and all of the second. I was very impressed with Wonsey.

I'm hoping everything is okay. No posts since December 9th and has not logged on since December 14th. I reached out via PM but did not get a response. Has anyone heard from Mark?

Have a great one!

You'll most likely want to get this one: A blubop classic if ever there was one. Hell yeah!

Seafood! We're off to dinner at The Neptune Room on the upper west side. George Coleman is the after dinner entertainment.

Just looked at that. I may have to force myself to go see two gigs this weekend or make a serious decision. Kitano has a real strong lineup this month. The schedule includes Micheal Weiss on the 13th and 14th. I've decided to go for the Coleman show at Smoke tonight. It looks like I will be able to catch Mabern later this month. So all is good.

So sad. R.I.P., Lou.

He was drawing it.

I don't trust the one on the left.

That stuff is gonna clog that sink up for sure.

In that case Chuck can post his thoughts on the future of music, no?

.......now?

Starting........

This is my attempt at having the last word.
