Your sincerity is palpable, Monte.

well, I did watch it and found it interesting. truthfully though, I would prefer that they had some kind of cook-off with a portion of the cabbages!! I LOVE cabbage! of course, I've steamed them mostly but also sautéed them as well. love them with at least some of the following: soy sauce, garlic, ...

This is a fascinating story I just read from this morning's paper. What a man was John A. Miscovich! http://www.adn.com/sites/all/themes/alaskadispatch/logo.png Miscovich parlayed mining camp innovation into firefighting advance http://www.adn.com/sites/default/files/styles/ad_slideshow_wide/public...

Here's a followup to yesterday's post.

I'm sure you will stop whatever you're doing and watch this video which captures the 2014 Giant Cabbage Weigh-off at the Alaska State Fair.

David is a superb guitarist/composer who I met when he was in the late Jim Pepper's band, Muktuk in the 80s. We lost contact with one another for a couple of decades but have since re-connected, to my...

By the way, the cabbage pictured below is not this year's winner! There are several more photos on the website linked below. Enj...

Ralf, I'd recommend the following: • Tuesday | Chucho Valdes at the National Museum in Harlem • Wednesday | Ravi Coltrane at Village Vanguard • Sunday | Johnny O'Neal at Smalls Here's why: I really love the musicians who appear at Smalls, but Chucho is such a rare treat. Ravi Coltrane is superb. En...

Steve, will you please elaborate on this? Thanks.

From AllMusic, where you can also hear samples: Review by Richard S. Ginell - By the early '80s, Keith Jarrett was definitely under siege, accused of arrogance, singing along too loudly, rambling eclecticism, and other "heinous" jazz crimes, especially in the wake of the massive success of...

The mp3 version while my 3-CD set is being shipped. Wonderful, thus far.

I've been following the development of this new performance space for several months. Spike Wilner & Co. are doing it again ... with style! Damn, but I'd love to be there opening night to catch the Johnny O'Neal Duo. http://d11lle8qfmc2z.cloudfront.net/0BJM62iwIZMh7lFXDZAv4QRNNPM=/330x220/smart...

I had lost track of the thread on the subject of this wonderful 3-CD set of solo recordings. It's time to give it some further attention, because it's deserving of it. This is not, strictly speaking, a true re-release, since some of these recordings have never been available prior to this offering. ...
