I really enjoyed watching a slugfest earlier today between the Mariners and Blue Jays, ending in a 9-7 win for Seattle. It was a fun game. Now, what should be another entertaining one ... the Cardinals at home against the Dodgers. An announcer made a humorous comment just before the start of the gam...

Jaka, don't most new cars also have a USB port/Aux In? When Patti & I rent cars on vacation, we use our iPod in addition to the car radio and simply plug into the available USB port via a short cable. You could even use a thumb drive. http://motorgiga.com/cargadatos/fotos2/renault/clio-(dos-volu...

I understand where you're coming from, Chazro. I feel that way about virtually every instrumentalist, frankly. Too much of a good thing is ... too much. As a drummer, you may think that I would love drum solos. Nope. They usually leave me cold ... or worse. I don't particularly enjoy playing them, a...

Blue Train, of course Mingus could have already had ALS in 1975. It's pure conjecture though, isn't it?

Steve Grover reminded me of one of my favorite Cannonball albums with George in the piano chair, The Black Messiah , another record I spun a lot at K-Jazz. George Duke is playing Fender Rhodes (primarily) on this outing. And he kills!! This is some very hip stuff in my opinion, and it's kicked off b...

We had those Zappa recordings and Feel at K-Jazz when I worked there, and they both got airplay. John Heard, Ndugu (Leon Chancler), Airto and Flora were also on that record, in addition to Frank on a couple of tracks. Interesting recording. Here's another cool track from that record. Ndugu is on a m...

He wasn't diagnosed with ALS until the end of 1977, after a rather extensive tour.

You know something that's always left me cold? Bass solos! Is it just me? And trust me, I'm aware of the greatness of the instrument and equally aware of the legion of extraordinary musicians throughout the history of music that are bass players. But man, when a bass solo starts, acoustic or electr...

Man, what a drag. I didn't dig everything George did, but he had his moments, and the dude could definitely get funky. He had a B.A. degree in composition and trombone . https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3aWGAeNb2V4/TDzoOC-CdCI/AAAAAAAAAHc/zcagafm3kLY/s507/GeorgeDuke.jpg R.I.P., George Duke~

Put my vote in for that new Steve Swallow ECM cover, too! Right now, as often is the case, I'm enjoying the stream from Smalls Jazz Club in NYC. They're smokin'. https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQCvi6VBVT38iPjo&w=155&h=114&url=http%3A%2F%2Fd2oadd98wnjs7n.cloudfront.net...

As in, it takes a whole lot to get you upset....let alone upset enough to ban someone. Thanks for the clarification, BT. I back Scott's recent decision. Scott and I are trying to seek a delicate balance, and will always try our best to be fair. That doesn't mean that everyone will always agree with...

Yes, that's the one "egg-o-muffin" Methinks that P.C. may have had some substances racing through his blood stream. Well, it looks like "Deepie" pulled the wool over your eyes, Clint. Either that or he was duped, too. Mister (Fred) Rogers was played by Christopher Guest, and the...

And then there's the really bad news. :cry: My old Cuisinart burr grinder, crashed and burned this morning--after about three years of daily faithful service. Bought something on Ebay immediately that cost $176 new (including shipping). Can't remember the make, but it has a glass (rather than plast...

Clint, is this the video link LDB shared with you? It's actually an audio clip.

I didn't have to hold my breath long for that response.
