"The first time I tried to sing along with my guitar, everybody in the studio booed" oh bless! least he didn't give

If it carries on this rate we'll get floods again ! Indeed. The area abot thirty miles north of here usually gets about ten feet a year. MG Thats the sea I think! It was running out of my shoes on my bike ride home last night...bit squelchy all round

Wow that first shot you found was awesome I have all Freddie's material which I finally sourced when selling up the lps and getting the CDs LIstening to the story of scoring the BJP and Freddie Roach reminded me of a swap I did of an old Donald Byrd side i traded on Prestige ( Young something or others..original pressing) for two lps ...one of which was a Big John patton (Along came John as well) ...cannot remember what the other was but that was sealed and I think Reuben Wilson...bUT the BJP was a lovely surprise As for Freddie ...I have to say my fave at the mo is the track googa mooga which gets more spins than anything

My biggest surprise was Kenny Burrell's Midnight Blue and handiest record to broaden my interest in terms of new artists ( to me then) was maybe Art Blakey A Night in Tunisia ...always quote this as THE record that clicked with me for jazz...went off then hunting down anything ( and I struggled then with supply) that has any of the artists on that side...Lee Morgan AND Wayne Shorter were the first finds then

I agree...would have been lovely to hear them ease it out a little As for selling out ...I find it hard to comment...maybe it was as you hint when soul jazz was 'selling' whereas it was not before....who am I to tell I do not have any of those records...only have the Prestige numbers ...his odd Blue Note appearance and two of the Cookbook things.

If you don't, wifey will be the first to criticize if there is not enough rain as you well know

I just found an old Blue Note not heard for ages and have been groooooving all week to Sabu Palo Congo

See we have the reverse here...we have pound stores...we never went for that 99 pence con...we gave the extra penny to the EU ! They are still there which makes me wonder..plus the fact the prices are still the same so ...either : a) stuff has got worse quality-wise (if that were possible) b) they were ripping us off all along :angry: c) they are standing the loss out of some larger social consciousness following recent inflation...sounds good but why did they not do that before :angry:

bored now off to sort my music for tonight

:unsure:

Thought that was the frogs. (Apologies to all our Francophone friends ) MG Absolutely not. English duelists : fine upstanding fellows, up at the crack of dawn , down a pint of champagne before we do the deed, ten paces , may the best man win, must come back to my place after for a pint of sherry, would you like to marry my sister sort of chaps French duelists : nasty angry sort of republican fellow, quick to fly off the handle, might be sober enough to hurt someone; the grudge will stay with the family and the grandchildren; not even the decency to stand still sort of scoundrels

Grumplestilkskin in one....sounds like a night out in the UK! Of course we English would have ask him for a chance of reply over a duel the next day but you cannot export such manners it seems

yep all insurance like that is a scam over here at least Should be all part of the nhs

just had two wisdom teeth out and it bleedin hurt However it was here in the UK and part of the national health system something to be thankful for If I had to pay for it privately..ooh eck ...it will start hurtin again!

BBQs over here in Europe also include a free game...called first one out is a big girl (this looks like poland to me) We do not seem to get the same food over here by the looks of what you guys in the US get

How about the more well known Jimmy Smith Houseparty The Sermon Back at the Chicken Shack Prayer Meetin Open House Plain Talk Nice box set ...decent photos...new essays...nah guess it will never happen...shame though..classic Blue Note for me

hmmm interesting one this ...wish there was something I could actually do...

but firefox 1 was new...once!!!!!

claim to fame 1 of two I was taught by the presenters brother ( yawn!0 claim to fame 2 of 2 I was best man to a man who made some of the plastic challenges ok ..off to ikea!

Do you play with yours alone?

na na na can yours do fancy dancy tricks??? huh? huh? only jessin it is good though ain't it...it was this that persuaded me to kick all bloody windows stuff out btw way when you all set it up...save your bookmarks ...it saves sooooooo much time when things go phizz on your pc

Having read this it reminds me of several arguments I have had about peoples bad behavior and 'excuses' when I used to work with offenders. Sure enough there are reasons why people do things that are bad. We can judge those reasons and choose to accept or reject them.

I got back into the Larry Young set the other night...good grief what a talent!

Plus the fact you on get three spark plugs that fit..one you have to bash down to fit it in and then it breaks and so you think...nah eff it...it will still work Actually I do like ikea to be fair and have always liked their poang chairs hoping other members of my family would buy me one....pleeeeeeeaseeeeee

I have been testing the test version for a while now and I am quite impressed but I alway have been with firefox. I have had it now for years as I hate IE( have to use it sometimes at work when the suits are watching as we are not supposed to install it. IE has always been difficult to use , full of problems, no tab browsing, pop up hell and just so clunky. Mozilla need a pat on the back for this. The linux version which I use is really really good and better even than the windows on I use at work
