sidewinder Posted October 15, 2005 Report Posted October 15, 2005 I hope Big Al comes back to the site soon - and Africa Brass too. Quote
mikeweil Posted October 15, 2005 Report Posted October 15, 2005 His true identity as reincarnation of Big Al Sears may finally have taken over ..... or maybe he checks all Texas record shops for that rare Tjader single that's missing in my collection ..... Quote
jazzbo Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Posted October 25, 2005 Okay Al, you're back, right? Quote
Soulstation1 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Posted October 26, 2005 Anyone have big al's phone number and would be willing to give him a call? Quote
Big Al Posted October 26, 2005 Report Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) Oh, I never really go away. I appreciate the concern from you guys, Lon especially for starting this thread. This means a lot. But what’s up with insulting a man’s wife, when he’s not here to defend her? And even if he was, what kind of crap is that? See, it’s that kind of anger that makes me not want to hang around here much. Plus the fact that I haven’t purchased the new Organissimo CD makes me something of a freeloader, and it’s wrong for me to come here without paying my dues, dig? Especially since I’m the one who’s supposed to always be making such a big deal about the greeeeeaze. But the simple fact is, staying away from here has allowed me to stay more focused on things in my everyday world: my family, my job, my life. This place should be nothing more than a pleasant distraction, and I’ve been letting it permeate my everyday life to the point where this place is an obsession. In other words, a lot of my life was being predicated on the thoughts and opinions of the people here; people that, for the most part, I’ve never met in person or had any kind of regular ongoing communication (f’rinstance, I consider Jim R one of my closest friends, despite the fact we’ve never met. But we’ve been e-mailing each since the time of the first days of Jazz Corner). That needed to change, and for the most part it has. But as anyone who’s been paying attention will tell you, I’m still pretty much a full-time lurker (i.e. freeloader). So, no, I’m not gone, I’m not going anywhere, just laying low for a while.

I didn't realize it until my forced exile of the last month. I plan on stepping back a bit myself. But of course, we all know it's too late for me, and I'll be back for hours every day...save yourselves! RUN!!! Quote

mikeweil Posted October 27, 2005 Report Posted October 27, 2005 You should use that hypnotizing spiral as a board logo to boost up sales ..... only those who have one are immune. Quote
neveronfriday Posted October 28, 2005 Report Posted October 28, 2005 Is that what the disk looks like? I DON'T think I want one. Does a bottle of Rum come along with it? And if not, why not? The mind boggles. Literally. Quote
