Many Many more happy returns!

J&R had some great deals on Concord/OJC box sets. I picked up the Lightnin' Hopkins for cheap.

Whew! I was beginning to worry about you!

Yeah, really. Alexander is sounding like Clem!

This was a very funny and touching movie. The "romance" was well played even if not quite as convincing to me (who is actually living within a friendship turned romance) as it may have been to others here. Kevin Smith has really learned how to incorporate the gross with the truly moving and he's at the top of his game in this movie.

I was banned too. Came back a month later just because I could and post a little because. . . I haven't yet really figured that out!

Ask?

Hope it was a great one, and many many happy happy returns!

No that was Philly Joe Giraffe's gig and he and Mobley were on the outs at the time over a drug deal gone bad.

The Trainchas are pretty nice. I was visiting a cute former coworker of mine and she was playing one of them, and I liked it. It is the Metropole Orchestra after all, nice arrangements, she has a very nice voice, nice interpretation of the songs. I ordered them and am glad I did. Easy listening in a positive sense, dinner music maybe, date music maybe (I'll find out!)

May you have wine, girls and good times!

Many many many happy happy happy returns Guy!

I have to say I love this music. . . always have, I still have a copy of "Happy Moods" I bought in 1973 because I couldn't take my dad's copy off to college. That lp was a favorite since 1967.

Ed Motta has a new one out, Chapter 9. He plays ALL instruments (and very well) and it's his first all English album. Rock with a Brazilian nutty flavor and mellow funkiness.

Thanks for the update Hans. This is wonderful, timeless music.

Many more happy happy returns Daniel! We can't do without you!

Welcome back, you were sorely missed!

Saw this picture and made it my desktop. . . nice color! (I have the same bike in "vivid black.")

Well I am. . . . No future generation forthcoming though! Time and biology took care of that!

Right now, after a long unhappy time with anxiety for my late wife, and then grief for her loss, I'm happy, in love with an amazing woman who gives so much to me, and for the first time in life, truly with time on my hands. In the short term and for the long haul I very much want to set up a household with this wonderful person and enjoy each day as it comes. That couldn't happen sooner if you ask me. I've never wanted any situation more. The main thing I am doing with the time on my hands is to get healthier by eating better and less and walking, I've been racking up four to five miles a day walking and drinking two to three litres of water a day and really feel a benefit. For many many years I've been told I write very well and that I should write. For many years I've thought I really wanted to write, a work of fiction that is funny and yet has depth. Still, I've never brought any project to anywhere near completion and I honesty HAVE tried. This has seemed to be a goal of mine, and I fear I'll never get close to achieving it. So I may need to conceive and set another goal.

Braxton, disc VI

I don't think the Simone were "Originals." Maybe.

Don't worry Chris, the real senility hasn't set in. . .you still remember who to vote for.
