JSngry Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 Summer's here, and the time is right. No time for a carefully planned conceptualized trip this time out. Just gonna go through the shelves, pull some favorite stuff at random, and slap it on there. Should be some no-brainers as well as some stumpers, and there will most likely be some non-jazz. But not too much, and nothing too far afield. The emphasis is probably going to be on fun stuff, since I'm tired, it's hot, and that's that. Of course, what's fun for me may not be fun for you, but that's life. I'd very much like to handle distribution the same way I did last time - I burn all the initial CDRs, send them in bulk to the various distributors, and then they mail them out. That's ultimately more efficient for me, and lessens the burden of the distributors. All y'all gotta do is send'em out and pay for the postage. I pick up everything else. Since we got a whole month to play this game, and since July 4 is a big holiday for the US members, my goal is to get things out on either side of the 4th (probably just to the far side, but you never know, at least I don't), so discussion can begin after everybody's sunburn and flash wounds have healed. Non-U.S. participants can (and should) feel free to get drunk and dangerous around this time, just to get into the spirit of the season (and, quite possibly, of the test itself). To sign up, send me an e-mail at musicaconcarne@yahoo.com. Make the subject "BFT 27". Be sure to include all information needed to get you your discs. If you'd like to help out with the distribution, please make the subject "BFT 27 Distribute", or something like that. I'll respond in a timely but not necessarily immediate manner. Like I said, I'm tired, and it's hot. No PMs, please! My PM box is almost always on the verge of fulldom, and I'm very lax about clearing it out. Ok, let's roll! Quote
king ubu Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 ditto! ← You are allowed! Now that you finally posted some on #26 Quote
catesta Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 Jim, I would most definitely like to hear your BFT, but I may not be able to participate. Quote
Jim R Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 Wow... Jim had BFT #4 (a MF'ing Milestone of a BFT it was, too), and now, after all this time, 23 tests later, he gets back on the horse once again, with "BFT 27: (insert dramatic subtitle... or not)". Man- talk about courage, longevity, perseverance, and... courage. Hey... didn't you also walk on the moon in one of the later Apollo missions? Oh, yeah. I'm in! Lemme switch browsers and fire one off... Quote
mmilovan Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 me too! ← I'm with you all, people... Quote

indigo Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 Now that I've posted my guesses for #26, I take the courage to signup here, too..... ← Well, at least you had guesses. Some of us only had impressions. But I'm not going to let my embarrassment stand in the way of what sounds like a real treat. Email sent. Quote
mikeweil Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 Our story so far: ....... 15 - Catesta (who's generously agreed to rent Lincoln Center for a release party ) Should be fun! ← With or without the LCJO? Quote
JSngry Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Posted June 23, 2005 Oh, definitely with. SOMEBODY needs to park the cars! Quote
catesta Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 Funny thing is, the cost was the same whether they played or parked cars. Quote
JSngry Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Posted June 23, 2005 This is the better value, I think. Quote
JSngry Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Posted June 23, 2005 Check your scorecards - 22 - indigo 23 - fent99 Quote
JSngry Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Posted June 23, 2005 This just in - Big Al's address! Quote
chuckyd4 Posted June 24, 2005 Report Posted June 24, 2005 Okay, so I'm about to go post my guesses on BFT 25, I swear, but I couldn't pass up a chance to do Jim's, since that was the first, and pretty much only test I participated in before. (Oh, and I didn't sign up for 26, so I'm off the hook with that one ) Quote
tooter Posted June 24, 2005 Report Posted June 24, 2005 Hoping for another participant shortly, from Japan. Will that be a first? I'm sure he'll get a big welcome if he does decide to join in the fun, won't he? Big Kenny Wheeler fan. Quote

And I guess that could make me (or him) the distributor for Asia. Quote
