Re: Cameras & Photography

Yes, it's better.

My (landscape) photos above are 800x600 pixels. I never post larger than 1024x768, to prevent the need to scroll on laptops. I think that's the size you posted. Right?

Terribly rough, Brooks! Someone has to step up to the plate, though. It might as well be me. :smug:

Re: Cameras & Photography

Here are a few shots from Hawaii, from the beginning of our 49th Anniversary Tour. Yes, I'm wearing a sweater ... a first for me on the islands. There was a cool breeze at brunch, following a considerable rain. I'm enjoying a Hawaiian Mimosa (made with Passion Fruit juice) and a 4-Pepper-Bacon Eggs ...

Happy Mardi Gras to you, too, Tipitina!

Good drink, good food, good company and a great parade wins every time. Beads? Not so much. At least, not for me.

Re: Jazz Videos

This was a magical collaboration in my opinion, and we've lost Paco far too early.

Enjoy.




The video is not that great here, but the audio is fine.

Re: Scott's New "Toys"

Scott, I was pretty certain that I remembered that you had a bit more tolerance for B3s these days. No?

I think you might enjoy the trio I posted above. Peter Bernstein is a wonderful guitarist and a good foil for Larry Goldings. Bill Stewart is a solid drummer, too.

No, I haven't heard Hand Jive or Groove Elation, Chazro. Sounds like I might just dig them, though. I'll check 'em out.
