  1. Well, now that I'm thinking of it, maybe the $98.00 was for the Albert Ayler box that's right next to the AE box -- I'm too old to remember everything clearly....
  2. There's been one at the Seattle Tower (the Space Needle one) for about a year now. Think it's $98.00 too.
  3. Jim Bouton's Ball Four. I had forgotten how gosh darn funny this book is. I haven't read this in, at least, thirty years, and it's bringing back so many memories -- wow. The Seattle Pilots, one year and gone, amazing to have a record of that team. An to top it all off, Weizzy posted pictures of the baseball cards for some of the players on that team. Baseball from back when I first started to love the game -- wow.
  4. Great news about "Nonaah"! Don't forget to buy yourself a dinner or two with those proceeds.
  5. No Seattle show, Coma Divine is ny next cd by PT.
  6. Weizzy: Thanks a ton for the pictures. I was in a used bookstore Tuesday and, on a whim, I bought Jim Bouton's Ball Four, which I hadn't read since I was a teen-ager (only read it 1,000 times back then), and I'm loving it. The cards brought back stories of a lot of the players pictured. No Bouton card though.
  7. An account of the Capa D-Day coverage - which is part of Photo lore by now - can be read here Actually, Capa landed with the first wave, not the second, on Omaha Beach. His editor John G. Morris is still very much alive and well in Paris. Another D-Day photo lore is the story of AP photographer Marty Lederhandler who landed on Utah Beach on June 6. Like many photographers, he had been provided with two caged pigeons to fly his films back to England. The photographers and their pigeons had been stationed for two days inside boats before the landing because of bad weather. After landing in Normandy, Lederhandler released his pigeons and saw one of them - by now disoriented - flutter into the ski to turn east instead of west! The pigeon flew into German lines, the film was captured and Lederhandler's photos were published - with full credit - on German newspapers. Thanks for the link, I'm finding photography to be a fascinating subject -- might have to buy me a camera sometime.
  8. Think I'm going to have to write a big, honking post on this cd in the next couple of days.
  9. I've been listening to this a lot lately, and it's such a beautiful cd. BUY IT!!!
  10. One simple explaination for the original question is this: In the Jewish society of Jesus' time, a man could declare a child as his son, whether there was a blood relationship or not. To have Jesus be called "Son of Joseph" means that Joseph accepted Jesus as his son even though he was not the physical father of Jesus. So, Jesus is truly "Son of Joseph" by Joseph declaring himself the earthly father of Jesus (an adoption of sorts), and Jesus can be Son of God through the power of the Holy Spirit. To answer yes to one is not to exclude the other reality. edit for spelling
  11. I was reading Stephen E. Ambrose's history of D-Day today, and he mentions that Robert Capa was in the second wave on Omaha Beach, took 106 pictures of the invasion, flew back to England to get the pictures developed, and the darkroom assistant was in such a hurry to develop the photos he overheated the negatives and ruined all but eight of them. Wow...
  12. It's money well spent to buy this box -- in fact I'm listening to disk D as I type this (A to Ericka). I tell you, this board is full of karma
  13. Great Job, Jim -- Thanks a 1,000,000,000
  14. Oh man, I'm in the Bay Area on vacation at that time!
  15. To my mind, Wilson did some of the best organ/Big Band arranging ever, just very creative stuff with Holmes on this Mosaic. Contrast Wilson's use of organ with Oliver Nelson's use and you can hear a big difference.
  16. For all you Porcupine Tree fans out there, here's a link to a concert video that you can watch. LINK
  17. Oh what the heck, to order through CD Universe is for a good cause, right? Dream Theater: Scenes From A Memory Porcupine Tree: In Absentia Marillion: Script For A Jester's Tear Van Der Graaf Generator: Pawnhearts Riverside: Second Life Syndrome
  18. Finished The Best and the Brightest last night, and it is a very impressive book; a person cannot help but compare it with what's going on now. What I found the saddest part of the book was the concern of advancing one's career with no thought to the human cost. This is a book I'll be reading again.
  19. Completely off topic: I’m reading this topic while listening to music, and Berigan's avatar is playing in time to the music. You may return to the topic.
  20. I just have so many conflicting emotions over this one: 1. When I was in school in Berkeley I watched Bonds when he played with Arizona, and he was an amazing talent even then, but you could also see he thought he was something special. Well, he was, the most talented college player I saw during my six years in Berkeley. BTW, Lance Blankenship was the best over-all college player I saw in those six years -- really. 2. Love the Babe, read all I can about him, the Babe will always be thought as someone apart for the ordinary. Bonds, however, will never be though of in that way. Bonds will be looked at like Albert Bell, but with a worse personality. 3. Bonds did it, you can't take it back, and you can't take away the fact he was/is the top player of his generation. The only one that could have come close was Ken Griffey in Seattle, Griff was a wonder to behold. 4. So, in my deepest heart -- all of the above.
  21. Ajalon: On the Threshold of Eternity Neal Morse: ? Porcupine Tree: On the Sunday of Life Riverside: Out of Myself Prog-rock is so cool.
  22. Plus, it has Scatman Crothers on it!!!!
  23. Picked up Marbles and I love it, great prog-rock, what other Marillion do I need to get? Feel free to make fun of me also for getting into prog-rock PS: Is their Front Row Club worth the $$$$ to sign up for?
