[EFerrari]

17. Baby! I love album! Thank you!

[progmom]

42. anytime!

[EFerrari]

43. Story of Gene: when he was about 10, he was a jock's jock.

But, especially good at soccer. Then his bones started growing too fast and suddenly, the doc ordered NO SPORTS for about a year. Geno was demolished.

Mom, in desperation, took him to a music store and rented him a sax. Geno picked it up, and we all thought, cool! Problem solved.

Mom and I went outside to pull weeds.

Then we heard it. We heard an elephant giving birth inside the house! It was horrible!

:rofl:

[progmom]

44. hahahahahaha!

excellent! and he went on to great things after the elephant was born. what a great story! :loveya:

[bettyellen]

i'm off to the house of screaming mall rats and they scare me. we are finally opening last years xmas presents too. thank god i have some action lined up after this fiasco. :evilgrin:

[chknltl]

8. This is cool...Real Player lets me listen while I hang here...

...very nice selections indeed. (Gee I love living in the future)

[progmom]

9. hey thanks!

living in the future, eh?

anything you want to hear?

[chknltl]

15. Anything you want to keep playing...

...as long as it sounds like this. I am not familiar enough with the genre to name an artist anyway...but I like this just fine. Thank you very much. Living in the future means that I have discovered a new technology which I was heretofore unaware of. Being able to listen to your show while posting in the big DU is very cool. Up until just now I have only been able to listen to www.giantradio.com while doing this. I also tried this with Mr.Scorpio's show but it did not work. You have a warm radio voice too. I hope you voted in the DU lounge Photography Polls...there are some great photos posted there by our fellow DUers. (I know: shameless plug!)
Thank you again for the show...you have a new fan in Washington State.

[immoderate]

12. Jazz Crusaders! Yeah, Jazz Crusaders!

One of the classics -- Young Rabbits, Congolese Sermon, or most appropriately FREEDOM SOUND.

(You can skip their later stuff when they became the (just) Crusaders.)

BTW, I got the Monk/Coltrane lost album. And it is one of the most fantastic things ever recorded. Except that it gives the feeling of being abbreviated. Wish I had some recordings of what they were doing at the Five Spot then.

Nice to be back m'love after a few weeks of no cable because of Hurricane Wilma.

--IMM

[progmom]

13. and it's great to have you back!!

you weathered the storm ok? :hug:

[immoderate]

18. No real damage, but

No power, or phone for two weeks, and like I said, the cable just came back on Friday. It was intermittent for a week, which drove me nuts. So it was like sensory deprivation.

Good to be back with you.:loveya:

--IMM

[progmom]

19. awww...

i'll dig up some jazz crusaders for you now. really great to see you. :hi:

[progmom]

20. ...and here it is

:hi:

[immoderate]

27. Wow! I haven't heard that!

Con flute!

Isn't it amazing how they draft the best bass players around?

Jazz Crusaders alway make me move. Thank you!!

--IMM

[Gato Moteado]

14. django reinhardt please......

...."minor swing" if you will.

thank you!

[progmom]

21. can do!

:thumbsup: nice request!

[Gato Moteado]

23. gracias

yes, django is one of my all time faves.

[Gato Moteado]

26. by the way....great show so far.....

it's nice to know that somehow DU is a small a part of something this cool.

[progmom]

29. awww....thanks!

:blush:

[immoderate]

22. Merely the greatest guitar player who ever lived...

If you don't mind my $.02.

Progmom played some Bireli Lagren once that really had me fooled though. I would have sworn it was Django. Have you heard him?

--IMM

[Gato Moteado]

24. haven't heard bireli lagren but i'll keep an eye out for him

thanks for the tip

[immoderate]

28. Credit that one to progmom.

But like I said, I was sure it was Django. He started out playing like Django, then explored some other styles, and recently came back.

--IMM

[EFerrari]

25. Wow. You must have a big on line audience because I can't

get in! Good going!

[chknltl]

30. You likely do not have access to this but:

...Paul Anastasio was considered one of the better fiddle players in the world. Last time I talked with his parents,( 2 decades ago), he was ranked #3 in the world by his peers. If you manage to find any of his work it is worth a listen, he does a lot of "swing" style music. He was also at one time with: Asleep At The Wheel, New Deal Rhythm Band and The Gatlin Brothers. BTW I have enjoyed each and every tune.

[progmom]

32. new deal rhythm band...they were a local seattle band, right?

i know someone who used to sing with them - Cheryl Bentyne! but that was decades ago. i think she made a tape for me of a record they did in the 70s.

[chknltl]

34. That may be so.

I knew his parents very well years ago. Angelo Anastasio was then Chairman Anthropology Department Western Washington University, his wife, Sue Anastasio, was Chairman of the Music Department at one point. The whole family is VERY music oriented. I guarantee you that if they knew about your show they would be listening with approval. Paul had a CD out, I used to have it but fear it is now lost to time.

[chknltl]

Paul sounded much like whoever you are playing right now!!!

[MrScorpio]

31. A great show as always

Too bad a short set today

[progmom]

38. thanks!!

you know i dig what you do too! :loveya:

[bettyellen]

33. you keep saying dakota... and you know i keep thinking it's ms foo foo.

cause the man i love is a country man. he's big and he's strong and he's got corns on his hands.

[progmom]

41. hmmmm...we need to talk don't we?

:D

[Gato Moteado]
