message board shorthand for "On the other hand"

Actually, it's both "on the one hand" and "on the other hand."

[Dan Gould]

Either "on the one hand" is implied or clearly it should be OTOH¹ and OTOH² to distinguish between different meanings for the exact same shorthand.

Why not just say "On the one hand"...or, OTOH, say "On the other hand"?.

Say it, yes, write it out, no -- not in an informal setting. YMMV.

I liked Criss Cross when they began and were recording the old guys. Not so much these days with the new guys.

Same here.

Whats the difference between the older and newer artists?

Just guessing, but the difference some hear between bop/hard-bop and neo-bop? The difference between the music when it was fresh and the music when it was recreated by astute students of it?

I got into the music just as the neo-boppers came out in force and I had/have no problem listening to both, but ...

Dan is undoubtedly correct about this.

National House of Pancakes - as told to me by Nils Winther.

[JSngry]

Hadn't heard that before, not like that...I always called it N-ternational House Of Pancakes, be being a stickler for literalness and all.

[JohnS]

Well at least Cross are giving the neo-boppers a chance to record. I've heard that playing opportunities are not that thick on the ground.
