The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 Well, as a newbie, I've gotta say that I think it's great, too. Thanks Jim. And many more of them! MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 Happy birthday Organissimo! For all the BNBB complaining, reminiscing, etc - the Big O board has been around much longer for most of us. -------------- btw - The people who make up the ridiculous anniversary gift lists say that 5 years means wood. So according to the experts, we should be giving Jim one of the following: Top 6 Traditional Fifth Year Anniversary Gifts - Wood 1. Bonsai Plant 2. Pine Scented Candle 3. Wood Furniture 4. Wood Carvings 5. Firewood 6. Woody Fragrances Or a new set of beautifully turned B3 legs. MG Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 Yes, these will do, if anyone is so inclined. http://cgi.ebay.com/Valhalla-B3-leg-unit-f...1QQcmdZViewItem It's a leg set for my XK System that makes it look like a traditional B3! Quote
jazzbo Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 I've only been back awhile, but I will say that, in my eyes, Jim A. is the model of a great moderator. Thanks for keeping this place running, even when you had more than enough on your plate, Jim. SPOT ON! Quote

I dragged my wife along to Bristol (actually, since I can't drive...) to see McGriff & Hank Crawford. First time she'd seen a B3. And she was totally WOWWWWED by the legs. She doesn't like music much. MG Quote

Fond memories of seeing them, including here in a small club (Monterey) with Clint Eastwood and Diana Krall in the audience. Quote
papsrus Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 As someone who landed here recently, let me just add my gratitude and birthday wishes. I've already learned a great deal here, and been turned on to some mighty fine music. Thanks for the great space. .... Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 Don't know where I'd go if my browser didn't open to O when I boot in the morning. Thanks Jim. Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 As the great Debby Boone put it: "Yoooou light up my life." I remember a scene where Med Flory might have said "You light up my wife". Anyone else? Quote
Guest Bill Barton Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 Thanks, Jim et al. for the cool place to hang out... Happy 5th Birthday, Organissimo forum!!!!! Quote
GA Russell Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 Happy Birthday! I remember when you started the board, but I preferred to lurk for a few months before making the move. It sure doesn't seem like five years! Quote
catesta Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 Can't believe it's already been 5 years. Thanks to Jim for this place and thanks to all that are and have been here. With the exception of the people I don't like, of course. Quote
randissimo Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) Seriously: even though I'm one who still is sad about some of the recent uproars and people who quit after that... They'll be back. They always come back. This place is the Hotel California. I wish Deep (Danny D'Imperio) could come back.. Sure miss his stories and ascerbic and sometimes outrageous wit..

Daniel A Posted March 8, 2008 Report Posted March 8, 2008 Yeah, thanks for these five years! I've learned a lot here. Quote

Ed S Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Happy Birthday Organissimo! Truly one of the best on line communities around. Thanks to "B3er" for continuing the legacy of the Blue Note Bulletin board and IMPROVING upon it. As both an active particpant and a lurker, I'm amazed at and grateful for the wealth of jazz knowledge, general information, and experiences that have enriched my life - both musically and otherwise.

Dan Gould Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Its nice when a momentous occasion - or a pseudo-momentous occasion - brings old friends out of the woodwork. Hope life is treating you well, Ed. Quote

Swinging Swede Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 Wow, five years already! That's more than the original BNBB (four years). Thanks and happy birthday. Quote
Ed S Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 Its nice when a momentous occasion - or a pseudo-momentous occasion - brings old friends out of the woodwork. Hope life is treating you well, Ed. What a long, strange trip it's been. All in all, life's pretty good - hopefully with better days ahead. Thanks Quote
