Well, for whatever reason, the new system seems to have been held in such esteem by all that it too is history. I think it was a good attempt at some sort of interaction between the administrators and the members regarding infractions of the rules. . . . I don't doubt that this sort of interaction will happen either in private messaging or in threads on the board. Just as you I'm a proponent of open discussion and of ignoring posters who I don't find relevant or who are incivil. (Sometimes I actually do ignore them! There are a few here I just don't read because I know I'll just get upset at their ideas. . . I know they're wrong and they don't seem to have a clue! ). But I also have always felt that the administrators here have been just and communicative and I've stood behind their decision to NOT just leave it to the members to ignore or respond but to limit flaming and other attacks. I trust them not to abuse their power. I don't think I would trust Senator Joe then or now. . . .

Yes, give it a shot. I think they have really taken an interesting concept that could have yielded awful drek or propagandistic crap and instead came up with smart and moving material.

Charles, this system was put in place mainly because of the appearance of DEEP (Wingy) on the board. A registered poster can only see HIS warning marker, not anyone else's. According to a new thread, the administrators have now abandoned this system, and the warning markers do not any longer show up in the profile of members. There were some inflammatory situations going on, inflammatory at least in the view of some, but these have calmed down a lot or been contained.

You've had my full support since I registered here. You've been a fair and concientious administrator, thanks!

Î guess the difference then Conn is that I don't enjoy the blindfold concept.

I have the Roost session on cd on "Lester Leaps In" Charly Le Jazz CD 4.

David, now who would say that? Certainly not I!

I'm not a fan of blindfold tests, guessing games, competitions of many types. I find that I have not enough time to really listen to the material that I have (and keep getting!) fully and with real enjoyment, and I am therefore not compounding my problem by getting involved in these tests.

Yes, these were good soulful albums. Great combined on one cd!

I agree, though I know jazzhound won't buy no steenkin' cd. The new version has great sound as well. Really nice cd sound!

Hope it was a great one D and many happy returns.

I'm with jazzshrink on this one.

Your father, from the strength of this one album, all I've heard, was also a wonderful musician. Did he play other instruments besides the violin? Your uncle also played a wonderful clarinet! Have you also learned to play an instrument? Thanks for sharing the information about your sons and best of luck to them both in their musical endeavors.

First off, WELCOME! I'm very glad that you found this thread and are posting! Secondly, I THINK that if you simply follow adding the item into the basket and select shipment and select payment with your credit card it would subtract the correct amount of Euros from your card. . . . I THINK so, but have never used this site before.

Nay thou hast not sinned! For an explanation, please see this thread: New board warning system

This is a great series of recordings. My favorites are the ones with Flip Philips and Bill Harris, and the live small combo dates (one including Herbie Hancock). But they're all good, really, IF you're a Goodman fan. NO DUDS included.

I admit that I didn't expect much from this show when my wife suggested we watch its premiere. . . .But I really enjoy this show and think it is very well put together and executed. It's smart and clever. Now I hate to miss an episode. Pitiful I know. B)

Ah it's all fine my brother. Imagine ef I were to be forced to share the inheritance with yer all had yer been there. . . I could nie have had such a night at the inn!

Been enjoying the Time material all over again lately. Kenny, an interesting person . . . wish someone would do the bio!
