Ever hear this album? If so, you've heard Art Taylor.

Two very nice multimedia Jimmy Ponder tributes (there's also a link to the second one in the first one): Jazz Guitarist Jimmy Ponder: 1946 - 2013 (at Fretboard Journal) Guitarist Jimmy Ponder (1946-2013) (by a former student of his) I wasn't familiar with him...

There is only one Jaco--if Bob Mintzer, for example, puts out an album called For the Love of Jaco, then I'd bet (as a marketing guy) that a good percentage of jazz fans will know that Mintzer is talking about Jaco Pastorious , . . . And there is only one Abby . Not as well-known as Ella, of course...

Tom, did you notice this clip, which is from the album?

(I have little basis for commenting on this duo's music, so I won't.)

That's for the third time. Don't make me use bigger type, Scott! :idea:

Yet, conveniently, I was the only one charged with it. ;) Look, I really don't care why he chose that title. BUT, I also think it is wrong to impugn the man's integrity by making claims that cannot be substantiated. (Sigh; so much for having posted my last comment.) At a glance, only you ma...

Where Rita went wrong was completely screwing up her charge of argumentum ad ignorantiam. It is a way of saying something is true because it hasn't been proven false. (okay, last comment) Or vice versa; it is also a way of saying something is false (simply) because it hasn't bee...

Name one Jazz album that sold better than one would have expected from said artist because it had the name of a Jazz legend in the title. Mother: Eat the rest of your dinner, Junior! Think of all the starving kids in Africa. Junior: Name one. Absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absen...

Four people behind us at a film last evening each talking, at a quite unnecessary volume and at a pitch to annoy Fran Drescher, and without listening to each other, about all of the films they had seen at TIFF this year. "Oh his use of music was clearly an attempt to convince the audience of s...

Then I hope you'll feel free to change your mind at some point and start to accept contributions.

Thanks (again), Scott!

Meanwhile, this modest little "experiment" is inching its way toward 5000 posts, and is not and will not seek funding from its members. :D :party: Well, since the subject has come up, I've been hoping for the eventual addition of a link to a PayPal account for purely voluntary contrib...

Flickr has been either down or partially down for several hours (that I know of). Could be a coincidence, of course, but I wonder whether more sites are messed up and whether hacking is going on.

Couldn't get this to embed, but the video is here: http://sciencefriday.com/video/08/05/2011/where-s-the-octopus.html#path/video/08/05/2011/where-s-the-octopus.html An amazing look at the way cephalopods use camouflage.

A crisis averted. :whew: You're welcome, Steve. The instructions that you saw before probably came from the Sticky thread at the top of the Alley--- http://jazztalk.net/styles/subsilver2/imageset/sticky_read.gif How to embed Youtube videos. And you'd posted that video on this board, in Sham...

Brian! I've missed you too. You're as welcome as the flowers of September . . . no, the waters of March . . . no, . . .

I'm glad you're here!

I've had trouble embedding as well. . . . Next time I have a video to post, I'm going to try hard to do the embed thing correctly. I remember that the instructions made it seem easy. If the video is on YouTube or Vimeo: --- Copy the link to the video (found under "Share"), not the...

It's the one thing there's any theoretical consensus on concerning warfare: don't use chemical weapons. Shoot, bomb, bludgeon, stab, slash, hang, drown, decapitate, burn... OK, war is war. But gas? Never! To an extent it's arbitrary, but gas is like neutron bombs, it's really only good at indiscrim...

I misspoke. I did all my twerkwatching in a single day, but I didn't spend the whole day twerkwatching.

On YouTube, one can watch twerking champions who compete in twerking team competitions or one-on-one match-ups. A few have become true twerking stars; they make money from their YouTube videos (somehow) and in-person appearances. I admired a couple of the stars, but after a day of watching ...

He's a mensch for sure, and possibly the best friend I've never met.

Here's his theme song, "Killer Thorne":

I miss the days when I was able to bring a bottle of cognac on board. Fucking Al-Qaeda! I haven't looked at likely websites yet today, but as of yesterday, I hadn't seen a single reference to the date it will be tomorrow. http://www.tcboyle.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif

No offense, but is it really necessary to nitpick it that much? I mean, Ron took the initiative and put a lot of effort into it, I don't see a problem leaving it as is. Rule #5 puzzled me and still does. It's not nitpicking to try to understand the rule or to ask how and whether it serves a use...
