@pjw81563 I went and got me CDL at age 57 and drive a tractor trailer now and I am very happy. I could not just sit at home and driving the semi gives me hours of listening sessions undisturbed while making money as well. Sounds to me like yo...

@curiousjim The pair seem to be equally well-regarded, hence my suggestion.

Though this takes us out of the realm of Jazz, I’ve always enjoyed the Ranchera influence in Ry Cooder’s music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uiq61V_HPgg

@pjw81563 I’ve lived in NY, Mexico, So Cal, Maine, Oregon and since 1998, Nor Cal. I’ve always wondered what it would like to stay in one place one’s entire life and whether that might impart a certain sense of rooted stability. I’ve known folk...

What is your most fond musical memory.
Freddie King in ’74 -- most intense live Blues I’ve witnessed. Cops set up a cage inside the Gym at UCR for "offenders". Richard Thompson -- most impressive display of guitar playing I’ve seen, overall, in renovated 18th century church in Portlan...

@pjw81563 I’m so envious of your access to live NYC Jazz! @mahgister Love Rene Thomas! Have you heard "Dynasty" by Stan Getz? @acman3 I enjoy Bernstein’s playing -- just wished he played with more dynamics. Interesting look at Wayne Short... 
Jay's "Ugly Truth" video
  @vitussl101 I couldn’t watch 60 seconds of this doofus. Yeah and in your knee-jerk rush to judge Jay, you managed to completely miss the point of this thread!  How does discounting someone without even bothering to consider what they have...
