Brad Posted March 4, 2020 Report Posted March 4, 2020 I vaguely remember the Nora thing. Great forum while it lasted. Quote
J.A.W. Posted March 4, 2020 Report Posted March 4, 2020 Remember BNBB member Hard Bop? There was hardly a member he didn't disagree with Quite a few BNBB members didn't make the transition to this forum, and of the ones who did many have left in the ensuing years... Pity. Quote

Chris (Hardbop) wasn't a bad guy. I met him a couple of times in person down in New York and I'm friends with him on Facebook. He just happened to like Wynton Marsalis, who we all know is a lightning rod and that brought him into direct conflict with Chris Albertson, which resulted in massive arguments. I always blamed Chris Albertson way more than Hardbop for that stuff. Quote

I always blamed Chris Albertson way more than Hardbop for that stuff. Ah yes, I remember now what the "problem" was. Add to that that Chris always said exactly what he thought in no uncertain terms, which often rubbed some members the wrong way. Quote

BeBop Posted March 5, 2020 Report Posted March 5, 2020 I'm an irregular here, perhaps even moreso than on BNBB or JazzCentralStation, rec.music.bluenote (always the same user name), but I'm glad it exists for my rare free moments when I have internet access. And someday, I will be long-term resettled off The Continent.... Here, no Deep. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted March 3, 2021 Report Posted March 3, 2021 Jeez, can anyone believe that in 2 short years, it’ll have been 20(!) years since this board sprang into being? Quote

Chris (Hardbop) Heaney is on Facebook. We were just reminiscing today about the defunct Up/Over Jazz club in New York. I saw a few great shows there. Quote

Two short years later... 🙂 Happy 20th anniversary, Organissimo! 03/03/03-03/03/23 and counting. Edited March 3, 2023 by ghost of miles Quote
Dan Gould Posted March 3, 2023 Report Posted March 3, 2023 I was thinking that the anniversary was coming up ... 20 years is a long time, that is for sure. I'd say here's to 20 more but I have my doubts about a 40th anniversary. Quote
GA Russell Posted March 3, 2023 Report Posted March 3, 2023 Great! I'll have to dig out my copy! Quote
mjzee Posted March 3, 2023 Report Posted March 3, 2023 Happy 20th anniversary! What a great site! Quote
