I prefer the acoustic bass, call me old fashioned. B) But as other have pointed out, an electric bass in the right hands works just fine.

Happy Birthday, David. B)

You got a camera on me?

The saga continues.

You got it. B)

Talk about living in denial.

Welcome aboard, Gary.

NYC, if for no other reason, clem don't want it.

Good one Jim.

I didn't participate in Alexander's BFT for the simple reason I had so much going on at that time. I still do, but I could not resist an opportunity this time to say.... RDK, WTF? RDK, YOU CALL THIS JAZZ? RDK, HOW ABOUT PUTTING IN SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT, THESE ARE TOO EASY! .....and so on. One should at least drop a line of thanks on the person hostng the BFT.

Bonus Disc! B) #1 - Groove Juice Special? #2 - The tune is for sure "Open The Door Richard" Is this the Basie version? #3 - Now's the Time, no? I say yes. Bird is the word. #4 - Webster on tenor? #5 - Shazam! The Hucklebuck... #6 - Oh man, what a great piece of work. #8 - Cadillac Boogie? #10- This is C Jam Blues, and that must be Duke, although it almost sounds like Basie. #18 -Don't know the tune, but it's got to be Slim Gaillard. #22 - Teddy Wilson on piano? #23 - The beat really grabs you.

Ray, I need to have a beer with you someday. A man that puts together a bonus disc with 25 fun filled tracks deserves to have a beer bought for him. The main disc has really stumped me, as if that should surprise anyone. These are my feeble guesses. B) #1 - St. Louis Blues (thanks to the hint) don't know the musicians involved, so I'll throw Earl Hines out as one for a wild guess. #2 - No clue #3 - Something from the 1970s, no ideas though. #4 - The violin threw me off, I was prepared to say that was Steve Kuhn on piano. #5 - Sounds like the voice from the cartoon character "Grape Ape". Not down with this one. #6 - No good guess. I hear traces of Monk and Silver. #7 - Real, real short, don't know the tune, but I liked it. #8 - Last night while haveing a few drinks I wrote down Johnny Hartman, but this morning I have no idea. #9 - Sounds like something I would hear while on a trip through the northeast part of Arizona. This sounds real Native American to me. #10 - Not enough to work with here. #11 - A whole bunch of stuff to work with here! It's a fun tune for sure, no idea what it is. (I obviosuly need more to work with. ) #12 - Very sweet guitar (s)? The strings were a nice touch, real relaxing. John Pisano and??? #13 - D'oh! Carmen McRae? #14 - Another fun one here. #15 - Some real fine solo piano. The tune was real nice, I wish I could figure this one out.

The fortysomething pitchers are tearin' it up! It is amazing.

I'll get in early on this one. Happy Birthday, Chuck. B) Thanks for what you do.

Dude, check the connections on the nitrous container.

D, I'm in. B) That scenario kind of reminds me of when Jerry and Kramer went to dig up the Parrot "Fredo" to get back Jerry's cuff links.

There is one way to find out for sure.

A dream? More light a nightmare. 20+ minutes of it. Word. Too overboard for me.

Obviously he was waiting for the polls to close. BEST SITE?

PM on it's way.
