I hope Rok gets aboard while I'm still able to post; today was a good day, my only problem was acute pain.

I'm amazed at how we considered Rashan Roland Kirk just a novelty, and now we know he was pure genus; I dote on every word he speaks as well as his music.     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWPUKskCv7E&list=RDyWPUKskCv7E&start_radio=1

Pryso, the main reason I don't have much Louis Armstrong is because I considered him more of an entertainer than a musician, and I just wanted music.  Although now I know I'm wrong, this confirms how I came to that conclusion.Rok posted some serio...

Before I started this thread, I was exclusively self taught and my time span was limited to "BB" meaning nothing before "Bird" and to whatever was current. Now, I can live without current, that means I have to go sideways or BB to acquire new mus...

Alex it’s nice to see you’re still posting, although what you posted seems to be a little bit outside of your usual arena; my cup of tea when done by Dave and Paul. (just talking)

Fellows I had major surgery and that will be followed up by chemotherapy.  Chatting with you guys is very important to me, I will post as much as I can.

Acman, I can not believe how many times you post albums that I can not understand why I don't already have; that one will be on order, in vinyl I hope; Roland Kirk is the one I don't have.

Wardell Gray was popular for his "Bird like" Bop, but I preferred his ballads, they were very special to me; every time I heard them they brought back memories of long forgotten scenes.              https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7en810UObk    ...

Frogman, the proof of the pudding is in the tasting; if she's not a good conductor, show me; find a better sounding version of what she presented than that one.

Every time I attempt to interject a little humor in a clip, I get presented as a total MOWRON. Now it seems that I thought "The Good, The Bad, And the Ugly" was classical music.First Pryso informs me that it's not, and then after I attempt to cla...

Pryso, there is no way that I or anyone else would think that was classical music, I was alluding to the way that big symphony orchestra put the music together in such a way that it helped me to understand how a big symphony orchestra works when i...
