Blue Note Bulletin Board

Nada.

The very small piece that BN ran on their website about Elvin Jones contained a link to the discussion of Elvin on AAJ.

Fantastic.

Speaking of Elvin, I just have to say that Randy played his ass off on our Elvin tribute last night. We played "Timeline" from the Michael Brecker album with Pat Metheny, Larry Goldings, and Elvin, and Randy played very powerfully and soulfully in Elvin's memory.

Good stuff.

I used to be sentimental. Now I'm just mental.

I used to be disgusted. Now I try to be amused...

[Jazzmoose]

Hmmm...anyone wanna guess which CD I'm going to have to play now?

[JSngry]

This one?

I wonder if Elvis Costello ever lurks here.

The BNBB is part of the dark distant past as far as I'm concerned. BNBB-"Let the door hit you where the dog bit you".

[Dave James]

Or alternatively, "Don't let it hit you where the Good Lord split you."

Up over and out.

You know, other than feedback from Tom (tomatbluenote), there's not a damn thing I miss about the old BNBB.

And frankly, this place has everything I liked about the BNBB (and more of it too!!), and less of the stuff I didn't like (and usually a lot less!!).

And as long as several of us can manage to get Michael's ear through the Mosaic e-mail route every now and then, that reduces the need for Tom, for the most part anyway.

The overall civility on this board (most days), is downright amazing (the politics forum, notwithstanding ).

HELLYEAH !!!

I have to admit I love this place. . . but. . . I do miss the ole Blue Note board before the boom fell and Greg was swimming around telling everyone not to let the door hit them in the ass!

There was an addictive quality to the sheer speed and volume of that board. This one comes close, but doesn't yet have the huge membership that one did, international, intergenerational, and just huge! The way it moved was dizzying sometimes!
