Jim R Posted March 12, 2003 Report Posted March 12, 2003 Ed, why am I suddenly getting this urge to swap avatars? Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 12, 2003 Report Posted March 12, 2003 I also tried putting up a couple of posts over at Jazz Corner. As usual, they got ignored. VERY cliquish over there I've found, though they seem to have welcomed Jim S. I've never gotten responses to my posts there, so it must be me. Oh well. Ed, Which threads did you post to over at Jazz Corner? I missed them myself! I have always posted over at Jazz Corner... just not usually about Jazz. I usually post in The Alley and usually about wine (one of my other passions). Later, Kevin Quote
JSngry Posted March 12, 2003 Report Posted March 12, 2003 I have sweaters older than Pharaohrock. and smarter. But FUZZIER? I doubt it... Quote
JSngry Posted March 12, 2003 Report Posted March 12, 2003 (edited) VERY cliquish over there I've found, though they seem to have welcomed Jim S. I've never gotten responses to my posts there, so it must be me. Oh well. I doubt it's you, Ed. I've got a VERY small amount of "name recognition" over there from my musical endeavors over the years. That probably accounts for whatever welcome I've received, that and the freindly "cross-posters" like Kevin, Omar, Uli, Jim Dye, and a few others who know me from both boards. But it IS a more diverse bunch over there, "socially" speaking, than I had imagined. Pick and choose (and wait), I suppose, is the way to break in over there, if that's what you want. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - I VERY much like the vibe here, and that it's a ".org" rather than a ".com". Even if this site never blossoms into a megasite (maybe it will, maybe it won't, it's cool either way), it's great to have a place to hung out with old friends away from the outside world, cyber or otherwise. I've always dug hanging at after hours clubs, and to know that right now there's an after hours joint open 24/7 is just WAY too cool! Edited March 12, 2003 by JSngry Quote

I've tried striking up a few conversation there periodically over the few years I've been on line. Very little response - it's a tough bunch. When the Blue Note Board first started to unravel I was hoping I did not have to go over there to get my jazz fix. I'm glad that this board and AAJ have filled the void. I still lurk over there on occasion to see if I can get any infomation, though. Quote
RonF Posted March 14, 2003 Report Posted March 14, 2003 I, too, have found myself checking in at the B3-er site first and I suspect soon to be only. I like the feel of this place. I like the ORG and I like the management style. AAJ is okay but I really don't like being told what I can and cannot discuss. Then there's that dipsh*t Pha-rock and the unexpected arrival of some unsavory types from another BBS, who shall remain nameless. (I don't need that again) Damn, that cigar smells good. Now, I think I'll just have another sip of this fresh Guinness draft. Quote

JSngry Posted March 14, 2003 Report Posted March 14, 2003 In Dallas, THE after-hours joint was called The Green Parrot, and it was an organ room. 'Nuff said. Kinnagetcha a drink while I'm up? Quote

minew Posted March 14, 2003 Report Posted March 14, 2003 Anybody remember the early '80's "new wave/punk" song, "We're All Boat People." Hard one to find, that. Quote

A Lark Ascending Posted March 15, 2003 Report Posted March 15, 2003 Just stumbled in here today. I've spent the last week or so on the AAJ board and think it has potential. But it seems to attract a few blinkered know-alls; and one dreadful, legendary in his own lunchtime individual called D E E P (I recall reading about him on the BNBB, but have never come across him). He's doubly irritating because he seems to actualy know something! I like the rather more easy-going, tolerant approach here. My only regret with the demise of the BNBB was the dispersal of the posters. Let's hope the Lost Tribes can find themselves back to one place. My record collection is immeasurably richer as a result of the years I spent at BN. Congratulations, B3-er for putting this place together so quickly. I'm flabbergasted! (we still get flabbergasted in the UK...its all those castles and stately homes...) Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 16, 2003 Author Report Posted March 16, 2003 'Bout time Bev. Welcome. Thanks for the support on AAJ. Quote
Garrison Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 Hi Jim, You've got a nice site here. O.k. People have been recomending it to me for the last week or more. You know who you are, guys! Anyway I've been lurking just to see how much of the venom would tranplant itself before making my descision. It looks like some nice topics and real conversations are taking place instead. Kudos for taking the extra burdon on yourself, but this place does seem way more congenial and intelligent than both the last months of the BNBB and sorry to say the last two weeks of AAJ, which didn't seem to like "new blood" or new opinions, which may be the real crux. Good to see more of the old regulars here too. Take care, Gary Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 Good lord. I'm sure I saw exactly the same people at the last jazz concert I went to! Quote
Garrison Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 Thanks Ed! Its always great to read your posts. Quote
White Lightning Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Greetings from Barak. Just stumbled in here today after being off line for some time. This looks like a great Board! Thanks B3-er!! Looking forward to participate in these forums Quote
Noj Posted March 19, 2003 Report Posted March 19, 2003 Greetings White Lightning. Don't you mean moonshine? Quote
