Neal Pomea

Try to hit him in the knee? Steal his cream? Blur his clear?

I liked Lowe a lot but he wasn't a very good boxer...

One of the best here! What's the code for an animated gif in the avatar?

"Internets!!! If I use them, that'll give my business a competitive advantage!" Silly reference to George Bush mentioning "all those Internets" in a speech of his.

Space considerations in the magazine? Anyway, when counted up it's more like 16 cds. Never mind. Those are some great artists to recommend to the general public. Not to be taken too too seriously. Maybe in the future they'll have more space for more comprehensive coverage.

Me a couple of years ago visiting one of San Francisco's bars

How many individual cds are actually in this list? Some were 4 cd sets, etc.

Some varieties of trees, like cypress, have "knees", which are protrusions from the root system above water level. See the first footnote at http://www.uga.edu/srel/cypress.htm I bet it's something like that.

If you run disk defrag, be prepared to have it take a couple of days.

Who's on Ragged but Right? Skillet Lickers?

The label has done some important releases of historic Cajun music, particularly Dennis McGee, Leo Soileau, Moise Robin, Blind Uncle Gaspard and Delma Lachney, John Bertrand, stuff from the 20s and 30s, so I applaud them. If anybody at Yazoo is listening, the big hole is the lack of Leo Soileau's string band music, and a comprehensive treatment of the Hackberry Ramblers. As for the set prompting this thread, I see Joe Bussard all over the place on that one. I know he leases stuff to Nevin now and then. Not sure what in the world to make of Nevin's attitude toward a 1972 recording he made of Dennis McGee and Sady Courville done in Joe's basement for Morningstar Records, before he was at Yazoo. I have heard it, Joe has the session tapes, and my Cajun friends and I cannot find anybody interested in releasing them! The McGee family wants; the Courville family wants. Nevin says he doesn't have the masters, do what you want with them. Arhoolie doesn't want. Can't figure out the hesitance.

The piano Mal Waldron played on the Five Spot recordings with Eric Dolphy and Booker Little was "tuned differently," I believe. Great performances.

This is why I say I didn't understand the premise of Drew's article.

Thanks! I will try Goldwave. For the Mac user, somebody on another board recommended this: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Does anyone here know how to create 30-40 second mp3s that fade out at the end? Preferably, is there a software I can use to edit 3 minute mp3s I already have and get them down to 30-40 seconds? I have a license from 2 of the top record companies producing Cajun music to post such clips for educational/promotional purposes at my Web site: http://npmusic.org I currently use MusicMatch Jukebox version 9. Thanks.

From the Hinkley you are in easy reaching distance of the following restaurants Citronelle, maybe DC's best world class restaurant Galileo, one of DC's best, a four star restaurant. Obelisk Pesce Johnny's Half Shell Sorry I don't know more about Adams Morgan, only that locals go there more than Georgetown.

I agree, Johnny E. I would try the Hinkley Hilton. It's actually the Washington Hilton on Connecticut Avenue, but that's where Reagan got shot, so it goes by that name. Walking distance to Dupont Circle with some of DC's best restaurants, and Adams Morgan down Florida Avenue. Metro at Dupont Circle.

Don Rich and Buck Owens, together again. One of the best collaborations in country music history. Thank you, Buckaroo!!

Can't find reliable info on what long term affects my medicines have, but I'll sleep well knowing what Charlene Darling did. That's what the free Web is good for. Can we name the Darling brothers? Didn't the daddy say Ohther had the most personality?

From the world of country music, I like Iris Dement's song There's a Wall in Washington. None finer, though, than Hazel Dickens. See Hard Hitting Songs for Hard Hit People, It's Hard to Tell the Singer from the Song, and Coal Mining Women, which includes Florence Reece's Which Side Are You On? Come all you good workers, Good news to you I'll tell Of how the good old union Has come in here to dwell. CHORUS: Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? My dady was a miner, And I'm a miner's son, And I'll stick with the union 'Til every battle's won. They say in Harlan County There are no neutrals there. You'll either be a union man Or a thug for J. H. Blair. Oh workers can you stand it? Oh tell me how you can? Will you be a lousy scab Or will you be a man? Don't scab for the bosses, Don't listen to their lies. Us poor folks haven't got a chance Unless we organize

Washington Nationals fan here, waiting everyday to hear if we get an owner and start making some deals. Hope both Vidro and Soriano are healthy and we can trade one of them for some starting pitching. Non-season tickets go on sale tomorrow, I believe. Also, if we lose our trademark dispute over our name, maybe we will get to vote again on a better one.

That helps explain why Cassie Johnson was wearing one white shoe and one black! A little bit! What does the sweeping do to the ice? Does it mess it up, like a baseball batter digging in when he comes to the batter's box?

I am pretty sure the Supreme Court of the the United States and Congress don't, either! They've been whack about copyright for years.

The text of RIAA's statement is at http://www.copyright.gov/1201/2006/reply/11metalitz_AAP.pdf. Page 31 of 54 is the section on format shifting. I believe the crux of this particular argument goes something like this: 1. The Register asked for people to propose classes of works that should be exempt from the prohibition on ciricumventing copyright protection systems. Someone proposed that fair uses of works should be exempt, but that is not what the Register asked for, so it is moot. Not which types of uses, which types of works. Technically, I think that is correct. Poor wording of the question by the Register lets this squeak through. 2. The parties promoting format shifting have not shown that copyright protection systems have an adverse affect on non-infringing uses. The RIAA is relying on the Register's earlier comments that it is doubtful whether a fair use claim that format shifting is non-infringing would hold up in court. Why don't we find out? I would dread the outcome of such an attempt! Some conservative activist judge who's a registered Whig or some kind of throwback like that is liable to conclude that all those cassette tapes we made for our cars before CDs were absolutely illegal!

Great! I will look for it in your archives.
