BFT36 Signup

[tooter]

A substantial amount of BFT35 discussion already so I'd better get going with the recruitment drive for BFT36. Here is your chance to climb aboard the bandwagon.

Please send me a PM if you would like to be included. There will be just one CD consisting of 16 tracks, 79 minutes in all. The theme is clear from the cover herewith, which I would like to say is all my own work but it isn't. It was created, despite serious illness, by my best friend Jazzman4133 who is not only a genius at this kind of thing but the best friend anyone could have.

Here is the list of those who are signed up.

King Ubu - received

MartyJazz - received

This reminds me to finally decide on one of the two BFTs I conceived as I am next in line - thanks again for switching, as it turned out I was and will be on the road for most of April.

Please sign me up - PM sent.

p.s. very nice appetizing cover!

Okay, you're in, Sidewinder. Yes, I did get your email about Ronnie Ross LP and replied. Apparently you didn't get it so will send the same to you as a PM now.

Comments about cover are being passed on - thanks for them.

[sidewinder]

Thanks Tooter - Your reply received. I probably need to empty my inbox..

It's not too late to sign up for BFT36 - I'm hoping for rather more than the eleven who have come forward so far. Although each track contains a baritone solo, it is not all baritone by any means, so don't be put off if you happen not to like the instrument. How many can there be who fall into that category?

[tooter]

Aiming to start discussion as soon after the 1st May as possible, subject to the vagaries of the mail of course. Burning is being done right now. I will begin mailing early next week, with a slight stagger in favour of more distant places. It's still not too late to join in - just send me a PM - but make it soon.

[tooter]

couw is now on board for the cruise - that makes a dozen. A small but select crew. Any more of the regulars willing to take a chance? Anytime -

[tooter]

All CD's, except two UK based, mailed this morning and those two will be on the way later in the week. So with luck everyone will have theirs by next Monday, May 1. Let me know if there's any problems - packing is only light to reduce costs but I can easily send replacements if necessary. And let me know when they arrive if you can. BFT#35 answers are up so I should be able to start the discussion thread early next week. Right on schedule so far!

Do you mean it's a good day to start, Mike? Plenty of time to listen and prepare comments? Public holiday here in the UK too.

Is this the smallest BFT yet, in terms of number signing up? Thirteen now. I only hope a lively discussion will make up for it.

[sidewinder]

Got mine today. Thanks Tooter !

[Stereojack]

Mine arrived yesterday. Looking forward to this one.

Okay then, that's almost half have been confirmed as received already and most of the others can't be far behind. So why not get started today, right on schedule?

You're only joking I know, Mike, but I just made a list of twenty primary instrument baritone players from memory without breaking sweat, and all of them quite prominent too! And I can think of more now.

You can post that list when we fail to identify any of those baritonists .....
