Ron S Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Dare we tell our new friends about our ever-so-fun live chat room (since they didn't have one "over there")? I've seen it, but not sure I can get it with my system, does it use Adobe, and if so which program of theirs does it require? I've had to down load their 8.1 or what ever to get in some files someone sent to me. If it takes speakers, a puppy chewed the wires to mine and I haven't replaced them. It isn't anything to do with sound is it? Doubt it would be, but there's so many new advances with these contraptions that it's hard to keep up. Let's experiment right now. Just click on "Live Chat" in the upper right and see what happens. No can do, I get a page of the most convoluted things to do. I have to get something to eat, so thanks I'll try it later and see if I can make sense of all of it, as it's telling me to stay current and keep up with advancements, which I hardly ever do unless necessity makes me do it. I have to tell my server this, tell my server to do that, that one function, Internet Explorer I believe, will be dead and gone in a bit, and on and on it goes. I'm off.... I think you were actually in there--at least it said you were in there when I went back to check. You must be talking about all the gibberish on the bottom half of the page under "Live Chat Help." If you see the chat window at the top of the page, you're in, and you can ignore that other stuff. To "say" something in the chat room, you just have to type in the yellow area where it says "Type here" and then hit enter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Whoa! I read this thread a couple of days ago when it was only one page. Then tonight I see that it was up to 14 pages so I click on it to see what I have been missing, and between the new members and the soap opera (!) and the haircuts, I can see that I missed a lot in just a couple of days. So welcome clave and Bev, Sandi and WorldB3, hepcat and all of you other people whose names I don't remember anymore! I want to point out to you newbies that this board has an ignore function. If someone gets on your nerves, you can go to your personal controls page and have him listed as "ignored". That really makes this place very pleasant for me! Be sure to check out the 2008 CFL Hot Stove League thread. It probably won't interest you, but it's what I live for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to try it with Yahoo or Gmail I guess, as I did the Adobe Download page the other day and it is wanting me to do it again on this site. Not sure how to do what they were saying I had to do if I use AOL, so I'm not going to mess with it tonight. I'm too cold and and my concentration is lost after being on the computer for so long last night and today. That with all of the fire wood thing. Jeeze!

EulaM Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Sandi, are you still using Opera as an alternative to Internet Explorer? If not, you might want to grab it again (click here) and see what happens with Live Chat... Download the full-featured version (with Java). that said, I haven't used AOL in ages and have no idea what it's like these days; what might be compatible with it and what might not be. But it's worth a try. I had kept AOL for their free art editing, and due to their emails being so easy and quick. I really like their security edition with the free spyware blocks and all. Since they came out with it, I've not had a bit of a problem. I had purchased Norton and it crashed my machine, and I had things happen which led me to believe someone with them accessed my emails as all of my correspondence with them was gone and I had just looked it up the day I had complained to them to high heaven, went back to it to send a copy of it to the attorney generals office and it was all gone where I had read it minutes before. The attorney general office told me she had a stack of complaints against them for the same issues I had been complaining of, double billings, crashed computers and so forth. No I lost all of my Opera info when I had the big crash and some how Internet Explorer isn't my browser like it was, perhaps that was changed in the shop or fiddling around I probably did the damage myself. I know Norton bought McAfee, but so far no problems with McAfee being the program that keeps AOL secure and running smoothly. Thanks, I'll change over, but they say Internet Explorer is being done away with for some other program, this in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) http://spinninginair.blogspot.com/2008/01/zydefunk.html - click to get to the "Bunny Bread" song. There - now I feel better! HOLY SMOKES! Can't thank you enough for the picture, as it brought back memories. I only knew the jingle "That's what I said....[pause, baritone voice] Bunny Bread" (as suggested by the picutre.) Damn, they woulda kicked Roman Meal's ass if they had gone with the 3:51 song as a commercial (costly proposition I know.) Whew-ee, never know what you'll find on a meandering thread! That's what I said... Bunny bread. Edited January 30, 2008 by Quincy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love this shot of Chuck Berry, a favorite with me, as I had such an unusual and great time meeting him. He was a life saver when one of the Clovers was trying to take my mothers coat, I really think he was about to get more than a little bit physical as he had already laid his hands on me, and quite roughly, and even though he dwarfted Chuck, he had a look of panic when he turned and saw it was Chuck asking him what was going on and for him to get his hands off of me. No joke, he truly saved the day for me. He was fun to be around and super nice to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I said... Bunny bread. I'd love to hear the jingle, Quincy. I've got a pet rabbit (she lives in my living room and gets a lot of free-run time), and the Bunny Bread slogan ("That's what I said!") reminds me of her, because she's got quite an attitude. (Though she's also very sweet.) I'd never heard of Bunny Bread until I ran across the song on Emusic - there seem to be a lot of zydeco songs about food (Beau Joque's "Give 'Em Corn Bread" was a big hit back in the 90s), so maybe this is an "answer" to someone else's song? One thing's for sure: it's got a terrific groove! Edited January 30, 2008 by seeline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EulaM Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) Nope - it's Gate. I put a pic of him with his fiddle up in post #230. (Same hat, though!) Doing instant message with my sister for over an hour and when I went back and looked at it after telling her I was out of there, I thought, what am I seeing here, that can't be Chuck, but still that's a great picture. At least it reminded me of him and when I was about 16 or 17 years old. A friend of all of us kids at the beach, Mike Casino (Rita Hayworth's original name, Casino, A Spanish/Jewish name, wonder if they were related, probably were), was putting on Rock & Roll shows at the old Hermosa Biltmore and people like the Clovers, Roy Oberson, Fats Domino and Chuck Berry were there for about a week, staggered in and out, so it was really something to see, as they were all just coming into their prime, at the the height of their careers, and all of us beach kids weren't allowed to pay, Mike just wanted us to show up. It was great fun. Mike was our age and quite the promoter. He's the one who loved Judy Garland so, and decided she had to make a comeback so he booked her into the Shrine Auditorium and other places in the late 50's, and she took off like crazy. He was friends of her family as well, and he was into doing some great concerts, such as the bongo and conga sessions at the Hollywood Riviera Club down on the ocean front, now called Torrance beach. Those were someting to see, you would have lost it Ellen, as there were troops from Africa, Brazil and the Caribbean, and it was packed, mostly college kids, but they had come from miles around to see and hear it. There were even dancers in some of the ballrooms and stage rooms. Great fun. Edited January 30, 2008 by EulaM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeline Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 (edited) Sandi, you truly have had an amazing life! And yes, I'm sure I'd have loved the whole scene - not just the Lighthouse. I like a lot of R&B and early R&R, and to have seen some of these folks back in the day (The Clovers, for example) must have been a real kick. Oh, and Gate was a fine swing/"hot"-style fiddler! I think - but would have to check to be sure - that he started his professional career playing fiddle.

djbinder Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 There used to be a jazz spot here in NYC, called Michael's Pub. It featured great music played by the very best in the business,l but it was a terrible place to go to, because the guy who ran it was a rude, attitude-ridden jerk. AAJ reminds me, in many ways, of Michael's Pub--which went out of business, BTW. Funny, that's what AAJ said about you. Moderators, where are you this guy is only here to insult us Where did I insult anyone? I simply reported some facts, and it was another party who slung the dirt. I've no beef with anyone here, but did feel the situation at AAJ, brought up by someone else, was misrepresented. It sure appears to me that the concept of open-mindedness here only applies if it's agreed with; otherwise it's an insult? So how do you feel about that new Pat Metheny trio album Dave? Overall, love it - certainly think this trio has more going on than the trio 99>00 with Grenadier and Stewart (not that it was bad, but I think there's a chemistry here that's stronger, not just because Metheny's been playing with Sanchez for the past 6-7 yrs, but also because first, this recording was made after the band had been touring, and second, McBride just seems to lock in with Sanchez more nicely).
