Jazz for aficionados Bach & Jazz:The Good Lord continues to test me.The Blues on Bach thing is nice music. So is the Swingle Singers. I even have a CD of both groups together. It's nice music because it's played by consummate professionals. I'm sure MJQ can p... | |
Jazz for aficionados rok, I tried to pay the taxman today too. But the system was f***ed up and e-payments didn't work. I almost tired the e-payment thing for the first time. Thought better of it. They just get your money faster. And, a lot of things can happ... | |

Jazz for aficionados it wasn't until I had a hearing test that the source of the problem was revealed. Ages ago, in the Air Force, my left ear drum was injured in a rapid decompression incident, and as many injuries, they get worse with old age. A lot of posters in t... | |
Jazz for aficionados When Nina Simone became more well known in an interview, probably her first main one, she was asked whom her big influence was. She replied without hesitation and matter-of-factly, Johann Sebastian Bach. When people say things like that, whethe... | |

Jazz for aficionados Imagine this thread without 0-10 and fro.I would write mostly about chickens, you would post Sunday songs. They would ban us in a day. Once again, Wrong!!Cheers | |
