EulaM Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 Sorry for the pre-emptiveness, but I had not yet realized who you were. Welcome! Not a problem and thank you. Jeeze everyone, how to make a person feel good. Quote
Dan Gould Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 i am a woman, by the way. dumpy mama, not dumpy dad. I was reading through the Sharon Jones thread and came across this: his cadences are obvious and uninspired and his lyrics are hitting me in the testes with a hot skilllet with shards of glass taped to it. So which is it, dumpy mama? Quote

MoGrubb Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) I remember posting something about this on the old board. Women just don't like jazz. Some pretend to, which is nice. For awhile. Then the truth comes out. The women here who do post, don't post much about jazz. I will now back into my caveman home, and let the flaming commence! One big difference I notice at jazz gigs today - as opposed to half a century ago when I first started listening - is how many women there are now taking an active interest in the music. No longer just "chicks" on guys' arms, as in the old days. There's more women interested in jazz today than yesteryear because jazz is considered more of a hobby or sideline than before. There's not as much "danger" that a guy will pursue it to feed the family. The ladies don't need to distance themselves, or lead the guys away from jazz. Scoot over in that cave, BillF.

I was really into jazz from 15 on. I played it in the morning when I got out of bed, took the three steps over to my record player playing my favorites, or I turned on a jazz station on the radio. I did my homework to jazz. If I couldn't sleep, I'd get up and walk down to the Lighthouse, catching their last sets. After my lessons in the morning, around ten thirty, I'd walk down to the beach, take a swim and then walk to the Lighthouse, or when cold, I just go straight there and catch Miles and his band practicing. On weekends, my friends and I would catch the early morning surf and then head off to the Lighthouse once again to catch the headliners for the weekend. We were into jazz like you wouldn't believe. Jazz and our R&B's favorites, but jazz was our main love. All of us girls and just a couple of fellows who liked it as well were really into it, and about five of us practically lived there, but due to me having home schooling and no early hours to keep, I had more time to go there. It was wonderful and what an unbelievable experience. I had the time of my life. Ocean living and live jazz, how much better could it get? Sandi from Hermosa Beach Quote

A friend and myself have been the shower and sink routine, it's a long story. It was either that or ruin the white Karastan carpet. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 Can't ever leave a southern house, without being being told, "Why don't you just spend the night?" Never meant in a hateful way, but it was almost always said. oops...I thought they'd meant I'd overstayed my welcome so badly it was almost morning... Quote
bertrand Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 Let me derail this thread some more. 'I just go straight there and catch Miles and his band practicing'. Isn't Miles often quoted as saying that he expected his band to rehearse on the bandstand? Did he mean on the bandstand of the club on the afternoon before the evening gig, and not on the bandstand during the actual gig? Has Miles been misquoted or misunderstood all these years? Was Miles a bullshit artist? Comments? Bertrand. Quote
