| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Glad you enjoyed the clips. Patrick Bartley is a wonderful saxophone player. So much history in his playing. | |

| Jazz for aficionados @tyray , 😂 When I first joined this forum (14 yrs ago!) my youngest son had just received a present from his grandmother. Very cute pajamas with frogs all over them and we affectionately started calling my son “frogman”. When prompted to choose... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries In spite of the fact that Bob chose to not check his cynicism at the door and felt it was ok to ignore decorum, or simple pleasantry, I will try and be proactive and point out what he is missing. One never knows. This, of course, is assuming that... | |

| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries **** The concept of fascism is dated...And never used to speak about music ...and today politics is way over past distinction as fascist/anti-fascist,CommunisT/capitalist,left/right, these distinctions made less and less sense with the passing ye... | |
| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Great point, @acman3 ! | |
