Dale: Always delightful to see pics of your work.

Paul & Howard: you can pass me a 'slab' anytime...don't bother to wrap it, I'll drink it here.

Nate: "Teen Town", no question about it...you pull that out at your audition and live through it, you're in. You know, that's Jaco on drums on that cut, too...
I saw Jaco with Word Of Mouth at The Blue Note in N.Y. on July 4 of '84 (I think it was '84, I'll have to consult my notes)...hung out 'til 4 am and drank a Heineken with him at the bar...it's a long strange story; maybe I'll post something in The Others about it sometime...

Dane, the kool thing about you old guys is that you have so many stories to tell us youngsters.

Whether or not they ever happened doesn't matter! Just reading them makes us feel older and more...more...

More...

Dude (if I may employ that sobriquette)...I wouldn't waste your time with fabrications, I can assure you...I would've liked to hear more about your encounters with T. Waits, too...don't know how interested young people are with stories about old guys who met older guys once, as you point out. But I like hearin' them at least as much as telling them...Shirley, we have more information to exchange than pickup windings and lacquer hardnesses...

Teen Town it is then. Can I live through it? It's easy! Studio version is easy for me... it's the live ones that kill me. Well live and the Marcus Miller version. I don't have a fretless but it sounds cool on a Ric!

I'm feeling a bit smothered...... what is it with these chicks offering various body parts for signage?

Oh, I see...... it's the old "actor between roles" or "dancer between shows" or "model between assignments" thang!!

Brings to mind an old joke whose punch line starts out as "WENDY" and ends up as "Welcome to Jamaica Mon Have a Nice Day"

You oldtimers will recall it. You youngsters will someday hear it.

But not from me.

Me neither. Was a side splitter back in the 70s (although over here it was New York).

I can't think of a quick comeback, Paul! Sorry (somewhat fuzzy-headed this cold Sunday morning).

And as I crawl toward post #1000, I begin to wonder what section and thread it will be in........

Guess I could just post another 15 pieces of drivel here and get it over with!!
