clifford_thornton appreciation thread

[DobermanBoston]

I must say that I don't really post on messageboards much these days, and when I came here as the result of a search on a Bill Dixon reissue I wasn't expecting to join.

But then I saw that a user was called "clifford_thornton" and thought "How cool is that? I HAVE to register here now!"

Anyway I'm a longtime musician and music fan, with my primary interests being jazz and rock (but, interestingly, not jazz-rock fusion so much).

Thanks for having me.

[Chuck Nessa]

Welcome.

[paul secor]

Welcome aboard! Hope you'll continue to post.

[mjazzg]

You've found a fun and stimulating place to be.

and I'll add some appreciation for both Clifford Thorntons, the real one and the virtual_one who's post i regularly appreciate

is this the start of a new trend - board member appreciation threads? Could outstrip the "covers with..." threads in popularity

welcome! Stick around!

[DobermanBoston]

Thanks everyone! Will do.

[clifford_thornton]

Ha - please stick around, indeed.

I only pay homage to the great brass multi-instrumentalist; obviously there's no relation.

[Chuck Nessa]

I thought all Cliffords were related.

[clifford_thornton]

My dad once asked if Booker Little and Booker Ervin were related.

In a non-literal sense, I guess they might be.

I thought all Cliffords were related.

Obviously they are.

[clifford_thornton]

I'll pretend I didn't see that last one...

[Shawn]

I remember Clifford.

[JSngry]

I'll pretend I didn't see that last one...

That's the best of the three!

[clifford_thornton]

yeah, but it's the most obvious one. I would like to go a week without being called that. I think if the real CT were ever called "Clifford the Big Red Dog," there'd be hell to pay.
