Hi Banana gringos! Who'll be your next president? You don't know yet?
the Stranger - was Mussolini before or after Nixon?
Hi there Hutch, hi there Midnite Cruiser, where have YOU been?
Gina - ”integrity” is ”integritet” in Swedish.
RubyBABY - yeah, next year we'll record that tune, punkstyle kind of? Hutch on guitar.
dr Mu - tell me more, I am curios, did Bernard Purdie and Chuck Rainey sit in for Mc Cartney and Ringo? No...?
Not My Nancy - I think Chuck Rainey is remembering just as it was. Do you think that Fagen/Becker are saints? To reach those high levels in showbiz you must be a big asshole. And we have seen Steely Dan steeling some music over the years, still they had to sue that rap-group who sampled the ”Black Cow”-groove.
That's a shame.
Lisa G - yeah, ”Fire & Rain” is a great great song. Have you heard Blood Sweat & Tears version? It's outstanding.
Are you a Mac-owner, I'm so sorry for you, how tragic, how did that happen?
Ole Ander - let time show you.
I am beginning to get a hang of this poster printer (Hi-Fi Jet, FJ 40 (upgraded to FJ 42), Roland)I have. I have designed a poster 70x100 centimeters, "Back In The Caves - Steely Dan”. I think it would be fun to have a quiz and the first prize is this poster. Is that fun?
Please say it's fun, I have worked so hard to make a nice poster.
I love you so much uhh uhh hu hu.....

I have no access IN to the chatroom either. Been about 2 months, I tried and ried. Hey Dan, thanks for the shout out! Very cool to have all this warm grounding energy sent my way. Thanks to you all.
New Cd's to absolutely buy and
disect (TRUST me on this) :
Sade- Lover's Rock
Eryka Badu- Mama's Gun
AND...
If you dig these two Cd's, go ahead and get all the Cd's. They are all
fantastic! You just throw them in and let it play to the end.
When I say disect it is best to put on your headphones, and read the lyrics along. Do yourself the meditative benefit of doing this, and discovering some great new music out there.
The Sade is long awaited by her fans and as always, it's all about LOVE. Very smooth and mellow. And of course you just pop it in and let it play. A rare and wonderful treat....Every day is Christmas and every night is New Year's Eve.......
Badu's latest works has a very very cool smoove ol skool vibration. You can hear (or I can hear) Marvin Gaye, Chaka, Curtis Mayfield, Billie Holiday, and WAR influences peppered within this masterpiece. Also Roy Hargrove (Check out his Cd "Crisol Habana") is all over this album adding a special texture and a reflection of her growth as an artist.
Check em out. Any suggestions on how to get IN to the chatroom are greatly appreciated. The problem is there appears NO field for typing my chatter in and then inserting into chatroom by pressing Enter. Please somebody Help :O0
Have a great Friday everyone.... I'll swing in on the weekend. Blessings to you all.-JuJu Chere

Oleander--Yes, that does sound like Arena Stage. Perhaps it was the Old Vat Room? I've never been there, but what you write about sounds like what I've read about the place. Regarding what you wrote to a-hole, this is a considerate place where people treat one another well. Ironically, I used to be a member of an Episcopal online forum called Anglican which was just nasty as all get out; it almost made me embarassed to be a member of my own denomination--the lovely and charming folks in this forum have a great deal to teach those jerks about treating others with respect. Regarding "Asheville of Virginia," that was Dave's term; I tried to convey that Roanoke doesn't *really* compare with Asheville, it's just similar in that it's a little city in the mountains that is the repository for culture of the surrounding area. Of course Roanoke doesn't hold a candle to Asheville (which was the intended destination for our trip, we just left too late to get there), but it does provide a similar function for its region.

Asshole amigo--I hear you, dude. I grew up in a horrible church that presented God as some sort of cosmic police officer who was always ready to chastise you for any sort of infraction. I'm eternally grateful that my parents (of course not realizing what it would lead to) sent me to that Episcopal school when I was in third grade--I learned a whole new way to think of God and my life has been better ever since. I know how members of religions can let you down; it's even happened in my own parish (not in the last few years, however, thank God). But being a member of religion isn't weakness; if one really intends to fully live out what the religion requires, it can be quite demanding, yet rewarding also. Truly loving one's neighbor requires effort, but it leads to a kinder, juster, and more humane world. Of course, nonreligious people can be moral and good too; I've met many who are, as well as religious people who are shitheads. But I've been on both sides of the fence; I left my religion and went back because I found the support of the structure and the fellowship helpful and it was easier than being on my own. In my church, I can follow my own beliefs but do so in a supportive atmosphere, and I find that helpful. We all find our own path and I'm sorry you've had bad experiences, but please try to be a bit more open minded about the paths that other people choose. Remember, those narrow-minded, fundamentalist religions (like the one I grew up in) also condemn other people's choices. Best of luck, dude; I like what you write and I hope all goes well for you. Good words about pity, too--you definitely write with the voice of wisdom.
Floridavid--As I wrote to YGK a while back, I can't get the damned thing to work
anymore. If you have any suggestions on how to crack this nut, please let me
know. I miss chatting with you all.

Several years later I found a cool interview with him in "Thrasher" magazine, but I've heard nothing else.
RS--You're musical even when you write about music. Wish I'd been there with you guys!
Hutch--great to hear from you. Let me know when Dennis Chambers will be there--who knows, maybe another Earth Day type odyssey? If you have a chance, go to Boston & check out the guitar exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts. It's incredible.

T minus 5 days till I'm the big 3-0. Lately, I've been depressed from this thought of getting older, but I finally got my act together and joined the human race. And so I say hello to all!
A few quickies--
For Clas-"""""""""""""""""""""""""" (No fancy quotes--I'm a MacUser.)
Gina, Stevie and LP-My divine brother Stevie sent me the finest (early) birthday present I've gotten in a long, long, long time: The Pat Metheny Song(sic)book. I'm in heaven. I couldn't put it down for the first 3 hours after I opened the package yesterday. After reading all your posts regarding Pat's glorious gifts, I felt the synchronicity that Gina always talks about here.
Stevie-Mike Stern is a genius. I would DIE if he hooked up with Fagen and Becker. Caught him way back when with the Brecker Brothers on tour. It was one of the first moments in my musician-life when I truly appreciated being alive--magical. Speaking of Gods of the guitar, came home tonight and my husband had dinner going while some divine Villa-Lobos from the gifted Brazilian master, Manuel Barrueco was spinning in the CD player. The end of a perfect day. He is highly recommended.
Clas (again)-A band I was in back in '92 used to cover Fire and Rain. I still love that song.
Blaise-I'm a closet fan of The Guess Who. I guess I didn't know what I was heading for.
Chere-I think I made a mistake--much apologies. I thought the wedding on the 24th was yours. Best wishes to your sister, and thanks for the sea breezes. I truly was moved visualizing the experience described in your post.
Aus-The only Fripp I own is a vinyl copy of "I Advanced Masked" with Andy Summers (die-hard Police fan, here). I bought it when I was in my mid-teens. I didn't really "get it" back then. Perhaps I should revisit the record?
Roy.Scam-glad you hooked up with Hutch. I have also found "Josie" to be quite intriguing, though also quite simple. Many of those cool passing chords are just subs within a basic framework of ii dim V i. Break the progression down to a skeleton and it makes perfect sense. (Sorry, FZ.) I believe z,x and I had this "discussion" a few months ago.
Gina-I had the pleasure of both meeting Ms. Sheila Jordan and sending her tapes of mine. She's a real singer's singer and just a doll! She gave me great advice and encouragement. I wanted to study with her, but I lived way too far from NYC to commute at the time. Haven't heard from her in about 6 years!
An official hello and welcome to all newbies! It's been a pleasure reading the posts of our friends across the pond. Welcome TWM (sisteral). I LOVE all the Scottish banter, boys.
ds(tm), Lady RS, LP, MizD, Ole, Aja, et al, I've missed you ladies!
Floridavid you are a cutie-pie and funny to boot. Where can I get a bumper sticker?
~-you and your pair uh dees rule.
Cara Mia-loved the pics and so sorry I missed you all at LBB. I feel like I've been there before. Come to think of it, I think I did a show there a few years back with my a capella group. It was one of those "five million groups performing for 'label' executives" showcases. (The punctuation is solely for the enjoyment of Clas, who incidentally ignores me even though I continue to tease him.)
And brother YGK-I've GOT to get out to see you. I will, I promise. Let me know if you've got any weekend gigs coming up. (Weeknights are murder for me.)
Now where is my dear, dear Howard these days?
Bubbling over,

Uhm,
My experiences give me a right to a general mistrust of the so-called 'selfless' drives, of the whole 'love of one's neighbor' which is always ready with deeds and advice.
It counts with me as weakness, as a special case of the incapacity to withstand stimuli -- it is only among decadents that pity is called a virtue.
My reproach against those who practise pity is that shame, reverence, a delicate feeling for distance easily eludes them, that pity instantly smells of mob and is so like BAD MANNERS as to be mistaken for them -- that the hands of pity can under certain circumstances [undoubtedly, not these] intrude downright destructively into a great destiny, into a solitariness where wounds are nursed, into a privilege for great guilt. I count the overcoming of pity among the noble virtues.

Ruby--My friend Dave, a real political junkie, and I have had many conversations about the constitution. Our collective decision, arrived at from opposite political positions, is that the constitution is outdated and needs to be rewritten; we've even talked about the best way to go about rewriting it. The federal government has been operating in violation of the constitution since Franklin Roosevelt was president, and operating the government in a manner contrary to the constitution seems to work quite well, which suggests that following the constitution might not provide the sort of governmental structure and operating system that we need these days. The document was written over 200 years ago for a completely different way of life; in particular, a world where communication was poor and it was not possible to run the country on a truly national basis, so investing most of the power with the states made sense. Things are different now, and giving more power to the federal government and less to the states might make a great deal of sense.
Dr. Mu--You're welcome; I do love my home town.
Asshole Numero Uno--You are quite right in your observation about Christian denominations. The Roman Catholics and Lutherans, and the Episcopalians too, are quite similar. On the other hand, the Baptists (in their many varieties), the Assemblies of God, and other evangelical denominations follow a different path. The afore-mentioned denominations place a strong emphasis on sacraments and most members believe in the presence of Christ in the Eucharist (Communion); they also have formal worship services (i.e, liturgy) where the prayers are read from a book. The clergy, as well as other folks, like acolytes (I'm an acolyte at my parish), wear vestments. The latter-mentioned denominations place a stronger emphasis on the Bible and view Communion as a memorial. The worship services are loosely structured, and prayers tend to be extemporaneous. Usually only the choir is vested, and they wear academic robes rather than cassock and cotta (or surplice).

Thank you Not My Nancy, I like reading about music and the live events are on top on my list, the eye of the beholder view is as important, you know. Hm. Why do you post not as frequent, like some of us do in multiple persona even, haha! All we have is this, reading about stuff that some or others experience for real, you passed that vibe along here while writing about it, so we can see for ourselves, in a way. Should do more often, what it is you see in the supermarket even, haha. There's always a story. Merci for this one!
HUTCH! The door has always been
yours, haha. Am standing in line here to do the welcome back thing and for all
newbies, Hutch has this nice way of welcoming the new ones when you're trying to
find your way among the die hards and busy GB-folk who don't necessarily forget
about good manners, haha, SWOON, Aja, had to look that word up in my dictionary,
real real swirly that swoon of yours LOL (back of your hand against your
forehead, right?, head a little bent backwards)
yes, we're all minding all kinds of GB-business here, and Hutch kept track of
the almost lost. Hm. He was entitled to have this break and it's been a good
one, I believe. In your absence, Hutch, we kind of had the door fixed, it has a
mind of its own and does its own closing & opening whenever we yell for it.
Or not. Thank you Roy Scam, you Hutched first, right?
The concert was amazing. In a small theatre, the audience sat around tables, the band real close.
Jimmy Haslip, bass/Michiel
Borstlap, Fender Rhodes, Korg Triton/Eric Vloeimans, trumpet/Jeroen de Rijk,
percussion/Hans Eijkenaar, drums. Michiel won the Thelonius Monk/BMI Composers
Award in 1996. Both Jimmy (Yellowjackets) and Jeroen played with Gino Vanelli,
Eric played with Peter Erskine -saw him mentioned earlier-Hans, sessionmusician,
was drummer with Dilana Smith and Robby Valentine. And they all have lots of
other things to do according to the liner notes!
Their technician, Paul Pouwer should also be mentioned here!
Crucial, the live CD is vibrant!
They played the Blues/Marcus Miller, Footprints/Wayne Shorter and songs they
wrote together. The first ten minutes I wanted to get out, sitting up close was
too much, had to get used to it and I was still kind of tired. It felt heavy,
imploding fusion! It was like they had to find their way in that theatre, so I
kind of grew into the music, wasn't the only one I found out later. What can I
say? Jimmy Haslip is a joy to look at, his whole body and face is into the
music, he sings his bassline, like scatting it. Octaved! Both the drummer and
percussionist were very sexy wearing singlets, one wore black and the other
white. Yes guys, we gals also want something hubba hubba to look at. And it's
muscle they show, right, playing their drums and timbales and congas LOL. In
this case I'm safe to say the size of their muscles proves their skills. Never
noticed things like that before, but now I have I'll pay real good attention
next time!
I'm usually not too thrilled about trumpet, never really felt anything special
for Miles Davis. This sounded warmer, like it was a trumpet/trombone, not such a
shrieky noise. Should say, he has a way with it. Footprints was fierce!
The way they interacted, tension, chemistry was present. The way they studied
eachother during solo's. Real concentrated, focussed. Sighs even, laughter,
grins. Both band and audience.
There was this break in between sets. The break took a while longer, for some of
the band were into nice talks with folks. And they came back for an encore,
ofcourse.
Too bad I was just warmed up and in for a whole lot more!
They will return to this southern region within two weeks, so maybe ...
I bought the CD, had a brief talk with Michiel when he signed the CD. Really
interested in how I experienced the music,-being shellshocked the first minutes-
and a big big smile when I said I saw Jimmy Haslip in Rotterdam play at the
Steely Dan concert.
I just love these kind of musicians. No attitude, they want to be in touch with
their audience. It's give and be given this way.
Grand!
It's 3.30, the CD plays second time around.

Enjoying the par-oh-dees. Even I'm sick of all of this.
There seems to be confusion among the candidates (especially one) and the media concerning the role of the state legislative vs. judicial branches in selecting the electoral college which is spelled out in The Constitution. For the whole document visit the site below if you are interested:
http://www.house.gov/Constitution/Constitution.html
Here's the excerpt about Presidential elections from the US Constitution:
"Article. II.
Section. 1.
Clause 1: The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows
Clause 2: **Each State** shall appoint, **in such Manner as the *Legislature* thereof may direct**, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
Clause 3: The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves (*Prez and VP can't be from the same state*). And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. (*this was ammended later due to Aaron Burr's near coup as a VP candidate in 1800*) But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice President. (See Note 8)
Clause 4: The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States."

Hello one and all
Chips, the answer to your question
is a simple one; drink copious amounts of alcohol. Nothing new there then for
Scots?
Unfortunately its not a good idea when you've got work the next day, but, hey,
what the fuck!
Clas, Aye right! I am going to test my one-fingered typing skills just to get some fancy quotation marks - not.
I find the idea of Dan sounding like a punk band quite amusing. I know I was talking about the pogo last 'eve, but Pogoing to 'Stone Piano' would sure be something!
Thanks to lp for that nice wee tale. One thing though - are you trying to depress us all? Only joking, and thanks again.
I am trying to get into Charles Mingus. and am looking for a good album to start with - any recommendations would be appreciated.

Gina-- a little awkward to comment in this forum on one of our own, but here's what I would say about Tycoon Dog.
Pretty straight ahead rock-and-roll instrumentation-drum, bass, guitar, keys-- though YGK throws in some nifty keyboard patches (that Hammond b3 melts me everytime). Guitarist (Scott?) handles most lead vocals, with everyone apparently backing vocals and the bass player and YGK both handling some leads.
All original material, I think, generally blues-based but far from formulaic either harmonically or structurally. The m.o. seemed to be to build a song around a fairly structured pop hooks, create some jazz-like harmonic and rhythmic interest (YGK on keys especially)amid the structured part, then go off and improvise your way to a good idea and milk it a little.
I heard Dan--some nicely articulated lead guitar from Scott, a fine bag of modal and rhythmic tricks from YGK. I heard some Dead. I heard some Little Feat. A couple of moments made me think of Spin Doctors (though T-Dog seemed more about music and Spin Doctors seemed more about getting chicks).
As Altamira and YGK commented, the sound was pretty lousy. The scene, a trade show for bartenders, was a weird, low-energy carnival, trying to simulate a bar scene in a cavernous exhibit filled with flourescent light. Leggy waitress/trade show models offering booze exhibitors' flagship drinks to drunken refugees from Mean Streets. No place to take the kids.
There. Have I completely insulted anyone?
Thanks for the Rainey link, Blaise. Yeah, he's bitter. Time does strange things to our memories. Sometimes we remember the way it was, then sometimes we remember the way we re-invented it. I go back about the Aja video, and I can't help thinking that he's a man with plenty of personal and musical grace. He just didn't show very much of it to the reporter in Dallas.

There is an interesting part of the chuckrainey.com site and it's called "the bass manual". The current article is about James Jameson, one of his major influences, but the page promises an article about Steely Dan soon. I can't wait to read it since he writes it himself. He's not bad at it either. He offers a fitting tribute. The Dan pieces should be insightful.
rudy - Those are nice sentiments but, tell me, did I miss an opportunity to cash in on something? Somebody beat me to it? Should I feel bad? What exactly are you refering to? You got me all confused now.
Beast without x - I too have heard of the new ELO CD coming up. That should be interesting knowing Lynne's songwriting skills as proven in the past. There should be a lot of interesting cameo appearances on there alongside Rosie Vela since he's "connected" in the biz.
There's always something to look forward to. That's right, rudy, think positive.

Hello, all!
Thanks so much for the kind words
Roy & Aja! I've been away for a little while attending to business musical
and otherwise. I'm basically trying my damndest (is that a word, Roy?) to keep
the band's head above water in this incredibly conservative town.
The bar scene here is a whole depressing story that I could write paragraphs on.
I won't bore you with it.
On the bright side, I'm involved in a side project with a young lady named Des
Hayes who recently signed a contract with Elliot Scheiner (yes, *the* Elliot
Scheiner) to record a three song demo, with Scheiner producing, to be shopped to
labels. She and I are putting together a project with our old drummer (Des and
Jim and I were in a group together in the mid Eighties). It may involve the
vocalist from Jim's band as well which would make us a band with not one but two
great female vocalists! Of course, if Des is picked up by a record label there's
no guarantee the rest of us would be asked to be involved. Depends really on how
tight the band is. Right? Right.
Aja - Have you got the Joe Jackson "Summer in the City" cd? I heard it at a friend's place the other night. Great album. Graham Maby's bass playing is worth the price of the album alone. I saw Joe years ago at The Mosque Theatre in Richmond with Graham Maby on bass. He is quite the driving force. One of those busy but right-in-the-pocket players of English origin. Bruce Thomas from Elvis Costello's Attractions is another great example.
Roy - My meager attempt at Josie came with a good bit of sweat and determination behind the scenes before it was ever even considered for public presentation! Thanks for the compliment bro! It really is a fun song to play. I love playing rhythm guitar as much as lead soloing and Josie is a blast to play rhythm on . . . all those little passing chords. It's a real education for me since I primarily come from a Blues and Rock background. Playing those jazz voicings is very cool for me. Of course the true fact of the matter is that I learned it all from our tablature guru Howard Wright.
http://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/~haw/music/tabfiles.html
Simply the best chord charts you'll find for SD and lots of other artists.
I'm now working in a musical instrument store here in Richmond selling Tom Anderson and Paul Reed Smith guitars among other things. We periodically have clinics by well known people who come to town. The owner of the store is a drummer so we tend to have a lot of drum clinics. We had Dennis Chambers a few years ago right after he did the SD tour and we're scheduled to have him back after the first of the year. About two weeks ago we had Chester Thompson and Zoro. And we're pretty sure we'll be having Al Dimeola after the first of the year as well. Believe me . . . if you're anywhere near Richmond when Dennis Chambers is here go see him. He did a fifty minute drum solo that was absolutely remarkable. (I know, Clas . . . don't even say it!) Anyway, I didn't find it boring in the least!
Hi to Alta, fezo, Hank, Ole, Midnite and Opti, YGK and all the old and new GBers!

just to let you know:
that tear-jerker was brought to you today by Green Earring (hi dear, yes, that
one did hit me hard, you succeeded)
i thought the SD "sound" was under the hyper-strict auspice of walt and don and the accompanying musicians just stepped in line (no free-wheeling allowed on the solo's, isn't that right?) - i mean those guys are perfectionists, and it pays off very well for the listener, so this is not necessarily a criticism (i wish more bands paid attention to this) - i think that's one of the reasons (bumpus excluded, he's an anomoly) they like their studio musicians young and talented (prodigy-like), that is, so they can be trained (wouldn't any of us be so lucky) - most of which then develop their own style and move out on their own - that's why larry carlton et al has not produced a SD-like album, the answer is they wouldn't - i mean, how old was larry, lee and others when they first played with SD, fresh out of music school maybe? are any of us the same as we were before?

Aja recorded in 3 years?? Royal Scam was released only a year before.
Gary Katz has stated that W&D came into the studio with often completed charts. Katz said he was more of a facilitator than a knob guy.
Did they sound like a punk band before Rainey arrived? Yeah, that organ solo on Turn That Heartbeat... was pure Sex Pistols!
Have Porcaro, Omartian, Griffin, Carlton ever made an album that sounds like Steely Dan?
How come TvN sounds quite a bit like Gaucho morphed thorugh the 90s solo efforts although none of the seesion folks overlap and Katz is kaput?
Rainey was probably mouthing off because he was relegated to playing with the SD cover Naked Lunch (or something like that) in Texas while the '96 tour proceeded...

that Rainey interview was in 96

for the ride.
Sounded like Chuck was dishing Don a little because he felt others contributions were not getting their due exposure. Wonder if the light shed from the Making of Aja video has softened Chuck's view.
Don and Walt have certainly been more open than others who use studio ace musicians to their own ends and their inherent perfectionism could certainly chap a few studio aces asses

father resented that a lot. No Winona Judd in his house!
What happens is that he hears a song on the radio he likes, when he found out it
was her, haha, the song was no good anymore!
What if you listen to Chuck Rainey without prejudice or a blank mind about
reading that specific article, would you then enjoy his music? And what if his
music's that good, it can give you joy, deny yourself that because of an
article?
Hm. No life & death matter, really, maybe one of principle and that should

thanks Worm, for adding some to the Rainey Q.
It's often this thin line between
what's more significant, one that pops the ideas, one that has the skills in
turning ideas into something more concrete etc. etc.
It's a chain, at least I believe it is. When one feels something isn't fair,
well, life ain't always fair, right? Just try to find your own corner in the
blue sky then.
So many things are universal. Even now, maybe you come up with an idea and many
miles away from you another individual has the same thing whirling around
his/her brain. Call it synchronicity, sharing a vortex, magic, whatever. Stuff
like that happens in the world, significant as well as insignificant, it all
depends on how much value you derive, being a plummer, a musician.
And what would Shakespeare's Hamlet be if suddenly on stage 6 men would rise and say they were all Hamlet?

hey Blaise
not so nice to know you have a few impersonators around here
it's Breck commercial time
thanks for the Rainey post
the article also goes into Chuck's touring with the Beatles entourage and Aretha with Purdy as failing bandleader, a nice read
Sounds like Chuck wanted to see them share the credits around a little more generously but he did ad in Don's defense -
But then Rainey concedes that
Fagen's solo Nightfly album does
sound pretty much on a par with Steely Dan. "It had the same
producer and family of musicians. Becker and Fagen had a talent
for voicing things in ways you never heard it before."
it's a shame Chuck's underemployed, and you think there would be enough glory to spread it all around. He seemed rather humble and gracious in the Making of Aja video, so maybe his relationship with Don and Walt has improved since this earlier article.
As for Don and Walt getting all the glory, what session man wouldn't love to be asked to come lay down some tracks even if they may be "one of many" playing the gig. Why? Because they get the priviledge of working with a demanding crew on very challenging and interesting work.

Speaking of Chuck Rainey, anybody care to explain this to
me, it
has always disturbed me:
"Let me tell you: When you
listen to Aja, those are some masterful
songs. Those things'll be around for a hundred years, man. Walter
does not read music, neither does Donald. They came to the studio
with full-blown demos, but the demos would sound like punk rock.
You talk about credit--Victor Feldman and Paul Griffin [keyboards],
Larry Carlton [guitar], Jeff Porcaro [drums]--those are the people
who sat down and put the chord changes on paper and made a road map
for us to play. As always, the good guys fall through the cracks.
I may be going back even to The Royal Scam [1976]. They should be as
rich as Becker, Fagen, and [producer] Gary Katz.
Paul Griffin was so good, they gave him songwriting credit for
part of a tune."
"Rainey doesn't suggest that
he ever earned a songwriting credit with the Dan--which would be a lifetime
pension. "If you're not a musician, you'd think Donald Fagen's the world's
greatest writer. But if you're a musician, you know that he ain't it.
He writes good melodies, he can play a little bit of piano. But if
it don't be for Walter Becker, there don't be no Steely Dan."
"But Rainey believes Steely
Dan--after Pretzel Logic in 1974--modeled
their style from a group in England on A&M in 1972. "A horn band--I
can't remember their name. The times I brought this up, I was made to

I wasn't here yesterday yet I ended up posting a couple of times. Who did that? It was you, wasn't it. I knew it was you.
Clas is a scary guy, When I first
came in, he guessed my last name right away. Sheeesh I don't think he knows he
has psychic powers like that. Or maybe it's just Pompe that feeds him lines?
BTW, you need a numeric pad for ASCII codes and besides, where's the one on the

re: Nawlins jass fest, I'm all for it. If wormy's into a reenactment of that

Listen to Jackson Brownes ”Running On Empty” and you'll hear a background-singer with a little dynamite in the pipe; - Rosmarie Butler.
The Steely Dan concert would have been to my complete satisfaction if Fagen/Becker had hired a couple of Rosmarie Butlers and a couple of Paul Carracks. Those girls they used were so lame. When they sang that beautiful piece ”...the Cuervo Gold / that fine Columbian / make tonight...” they sounded like a coverband.

I am sitting listening to Paul Carracks latest CD, ”Satisfy My Soul”. Excellent music from a great singer. Wonderful coverart, Bill Smith Studio.
Carrack is playing almost everything himself, he's also the producer and engineer. His old Squeeze-brother Difford co-wroted some songs with him.
Go buy it, you'll not be disappointed.

Ok people! The t-shirts are in and available for shipment. Follow the link at the top of the Guestbook to purchase yours today.
They turned out great. I'm quite happy with them. The concern I have is the yellow color. Unfortunately the background of this GB isn't available in a t-shirt color so we went with straight Yellow. Yellow is one of those colors that looks great on some people, terrible on others. Depending on how well these things sell, perhaps the next run we'll try a different color?
All I ask is you give me time to process the orders. Please don't expect immediate turnaround. Many have asked where I find the time. Well, frankly if it wasn't for Mrs. Alphonzo, I'd be screwed. She's helping me on this one...

Subject: REMINDER: Chuck Rainey CD Debut Show NOVEMBER 30-TOMORROW!
Chuck Rainey had his lastest CD debut show with a packed house at the Red Blood Club in Dallas Saturday night November 25, 2000. With Chuck's soulful cover of SD's Night by Night getting airplay in New York as we speak, the show was as exciting as ever. Chuck has decided to encore this performance on Thursday, November 30, 2000 at the Red Blood Club, 2617 Commerce Street in Deep Ellum for the Dandom crew. Chuck will be available to sign his new CD "Sing and Dance". The CD will also be available soon in Tower Records stores, Wherehouse Music stores and Amazon.com soon.
Hope to see you there.
Show time is *** 9:00 PM **** (not earlier as previously noted elsewhere.)

Please note the time change for Chuck Rainey's show tomorrow. (Starts at 9 PM) Be sure to pass this along to any one who might attend...definitely not an event to miss.
Also, Chuck's most excellent and new website, http://chuckrainey.com now also confirms Feb 15, 2001 as the date Chuck will play Le Bar Bat in NYC. Plan Now! The site is just getting its final touches and is designed by noneother than Elliott Randall.
Looking forward to reviews of Chuck's gig tomorrow evening as well as of his new album, "Sing and Dance." Wish I could be there.

What great news, Roy! Please tell Hutch next time you see him how much he is missed. He always raised the standards here. "Josie" is the one song on Aja that I quickly got tired of due to the endless airplay, then gained a new appreciation of it after I heard it broken down. It's also one great song to dance to!
Gina-I never got that e-mail you talked about in your post. Don't want you to think I was ignoring you!

I was in 'the fan' in Richmond, VA Sunday and had lunch with Hutch. Anyway, as we sat about discussing Dan-like things and noodling on guitars (I noodle; he pasta supremos), he played "Josie" on his acoustic. I must say, this song opened up for me like never before, watching it rendered solo-acoustically. It works great as a seamless layered jazz fuzion record tweaked to the gills by 10 musicians; BUT, I was impressed anew with the songwriting skills of Messrs Becker and Fagen as I watched the chords develop and cycle and set up a great funky choreography for Hutch's dancing digits. These chords don't just stand around next to each other; they skitter around all parts of the fretboard like a goalie in a dart game and force the fingers to morph like liquid metal into ninthish, sixthlike, diminishing (partly diminished) and other unnatural, and probably unholy, configurations. How, one might wonder, does someone dream up such an odd sequence of disparate finger positions and have them seem to unfold in such a seemingly inspired manner. I, for one, just don't know. -- That song is a beauty formally dressed or stark naked with no makeup.
Hutch~ Thanks for the hospitality. I've said this before, If I had your hands, I'd turn mine in. Any time you gig acoustic in your living room, I'll be glad to be the crowd.

no no chere, this person doesn't hate you, they hate themselves and spew their vomit everywhere they can. They especially hate someone who can find beauty in the ordinary because it underscores their inadequacy. They're just desperate for recognition-don't acknowledge them and they have no power over you. You know yourself well, and you certainly don't need validation from someone over the internet who can't even sign their name.

What was all that about!!!?
Anyway, it sure was 'entertaining'
Gina, Feargal Sharkey was (is) Irish, and sang with the Undertones, but my fave bands of the punk genre were The Clash, the Sex Pistols, Public Image Limited, Stiff Little Fingers and Magazine (but they aren't really punk) Most of that stuff hasn't aged too well (unlike my good, youngish self), but I still enjoy the odd pogo around the living room!!
Mibees the outburst of 'white noise' on the board was related to the hysteria that must be circulating over there just now following Dubya's declaration of victory?

Well, I am glad that a few of you enjoyed the tellings of my stay in Key West. It really was quite magical. It looks as though I have a handful of folk that truly like me and appreciate me here and for that I am so very grateful. Thanks for having my back. Unfortunately there is someone here who really hates me. What an ugly thing to say. Very Very mean spirited and rude. It bothered me for about 30 minutes. Clearly that person is a coward, can't even sign his/her name. Does it make you feel all better now that you hurt my feelings? WhatEVER! You are a really sick person.
It is good to read all of you. Thanks and props and extra karmas to the folks out there who shouted out. It was so sweet of you Blaise to say you are a huge fan. And Ole, thanks for the Breeze analogy you and your angelic nature, I just luv ya!. I actually have a funny story to tell about breezes (some other day) and a second book to reccomend, it was made for anyone who reads or is going to read Maya. Gina, as always your sweet post made me smile. Steviedan darlin' you ALWAYS got my back. Thanks. Hope that nameless person does not make me resort to layin the root on em. My uncle left last night. We had tremendous bongo/percussive sesions on the beach in Key West and here in my living room while the raindrops fell outside. It was great fun. He called me last night to tell me he made it home safely and told me his house was broken into AGAIN while he was away. Thanks to the Gods again that the drum kits were all still there and left undisturbed. It's all about the music you know? I am off to have lunch with my cousins from Hawaii, they depart for home today. Lissa just returned from Capetown South Africa studying art and sociology, Sasha is still doing the Free Tibet Dali Llama thing, Kyle loves the waves in Oahu and shaping boards, Martha hangs with Julia Butterfly, and Kit just returned from Bali and learning how to Batik. They are an interesting bunch and to my great pleasure, also HUGE fans of mine. Hope Humpday is good to all of you. 'Tis good to be back. Thanks for the warmest of welcomes.

yah. and I "da no" where to begin.
If you read da last posts leading up to my disappearance, ya knows i was in for a big rest.
I real simply get sick of hearing my own voice.
How Don and Le Walt do any interviews AT ALL. Completely beyond me.
International audience most flattering to have, public persona, that an absolute mindfuck.
Speaking of my Delusions of Grandeur...
Atfer a lovely vacation at the Kawaiian Timeshare with Patients X,Y, and Z, and all the little ZX's, don't worry i took one of those mental photographs. Click. Shudder.
I come home to find the Trailer Park Cult Commune in enormous disarray.
The roommate had obviously ransacked my scarce belongings for the more obviously wealthy belongings, including, the chenille bathrobe, and sold them for their obviously great worth. it is thus, the real havoc ensues.
The Dreaded Day when someone would come to place my 9 different types of paint brushes, from sable to sea sponge, into a large coffee can, finally came. This alone, about 3,000 dollars of brushes miscared for, is enough to throw me into the cheap-style Betty Ford clinic, fot 9 weeks of serious strapdown. But there is more...
The entire house now smells like
"purple".
The sketchbooks of nudes i have known, are now kept in the magazine rack.
The "outdated" Science magazines have been tossed. Including the big
ones about parsecs and pluto. :o
There are now SHOES where the undies had been. Half the UNDIES had been on HANGERS. The roommate now claims i have FOUR pairs of boots, and that TWO pairs should be disposed of, FOUR pairs is tooo many. WHAT!
The trusty 13-inch has been replaced by a MONSTROUS 40-incher.
My gardenia bush was left intact. The OLEANDERS were MOVED. There are now a silly bunch of joplins.
The garden light has been replaced. instead of my single cigarette and lighting by Orion, i now have the unique pleasure of watching the roommate pick her teeth by the light of the monstrous forty incher. Even the ON button is about five inches wide!
Well lovelies, that mustbe all for a few weeks. Not only am i daunted by the thought of two weeks of back read, but frankly, I am htinking of retiring the Slut. She looks good on the screen, but she is offensive to the ear. Well not to my ear. In fact....
Somebody's mother yesterday, she
asked me what i do for a living. I said, "i'm such a slut, i do it all for
free."
They kept asking me who made it up, they didn't believe i made it on the spot.
Although you all know where its roots come from.
Anyway the problem is, i have
about 5,000 pages of Slutty Material left over in my super dull mind. I even
remembered the WHOLE POINT to the Prom Story, and it wasn't me losing my
Virginity, either....well, maybe 50%.....so I Don
t Think i'm ready to give her up yet.
For one thing, ds got some goals.
1. Dinner with Don and Walt, MY favorite restaurant, and they pick up the tab (natch) AND they audition all the crappy musicians I know....including the Ukelele players and the Baritonal Cat. Walt to join me later in my suite at the Ritz-Calton...
2. I want lots of people at my birthday party! Leave the gifts and guns at home PLEASE.
3. I need a Pet Shop Boys-Style arrangement to make my ideas and Foundation rival that of the Getty's. Seriously, folks, i need $275 for one patent VERY BADLY. Before the idea becomes apparent and somebody else comes out with the billions. I'm TALKING HUGE RETURN ON TEENSY INVESTMENT ;) I will name hte product after you. Your name will live on forever and Ever, more popular than Jesus.
4. Gotta find someone for Mum to marry. Alpha male.
5. Gotta find someone who could stand marrying me. Beta whatevah.
6. MAKE THE S.S. SHIPWHACK FAN.TASY A DREAM COME TRUE!!!!
I Know these are lofty goals, especially the one about me getting mawwhied, but hey, we're all under the Banyan Trees...together.
well i'm off for a few weeks. i can't wait, cause i know the true identity of someone...heh...and i'll reveal it soon, to everyone's befuddlement. ;)
Best to all.

Observe that the quotation marks "inside" the quotation marks are kind of single, like this;

Oleander--Yes, I remember those days. My, how it has changed--DC City Council now has a white majority; the city itself is only 60% African American (down from 85% in 1970), the same as Atlanta. There's another similarity as well; Prince Georges County in Maryland is one of two primarily African American middle class counties in the the country; the other one is in the Atlanta area (also, the inner ring of suburbs in Prince Georges County is where most of the poor African Americans who used to live in DC now live--presumably the better off folk can provide enough of a tax base to provide social services to the less well off folk). I can appreciate the rising real estate costs in your area; Asheville's hot these days. My friend Dave commented that Roanoke was the Asheville of Virginia; certainly not in the same league, for Asheville is vastly superior, but the model of Asheville as a prosperous and sophisticated city in an area where there aren't many places like that.
Also, many of the most prosperous people in this city aren't directly tied to the federal government. There may be a peripheral tie in that whatever organization they work for probably wouldn't be here if it weren't for the presence of the feds, but the number of local residents employed by the federal government has been dropping for years. The biggest two employers in the city right now are the World Bank (hissssss~! ooh, sorry, couldn't help myself) and George Washington University.

Ed Koch/lp--Thanks for the compliment; coming from you that really means a great deal.
Dr. Mu--Thanks for the source for the stats and for your full disclosure regarding your connections to this area, and your kind words in general--I had not expected less from you; you've always been an honorable poster. The disparity between rich and poor is truly sad, and I'm not surprised to find that it still holds true in my beloved home town. I know that some neighborhoods, Ivy City, for example, are doing worse than ever, and that the rich are taking over at the expense of the poor (I'm stuck somewhere in the middle; I'm hoping to buy a house in a neighborhood that's still relatively cheap before my landlord here in relatively prosperous Franklin Square raises the rent 30%). Regarding Capitol Hill, as I mentioned in my post to Ruby Baby, that area has long been close to some marginal areas. I've had friends who lived in "Capitol Hill East," as the real estate agents called it, and they recommended that I walk in the middle of the street when I headed over to their homes because the sidewalks were so dangerous. But Capitol Hill had, for some time, a higher crime rate than similar neighborhoods that is only now starting to dissipate. Things are quite different in my end of town. I grew up in Montgomery County, so I know the place well; ironically, most of the prosperous white folk moving into DC are from Montgomery County; I guess the now highly urbanized Bethesda doesn't quite meet their needs for true city living. And yes, I see your point--the Federal Control Board royally screwed up, as a recent article in the City Paper pointed out. As you know, DC residents are no friends of the federal government--we see them as the overseers of the country's last plantation. We welcome the prosperity they bring to our little city (far smaller than our impoverished neighbor to the north, Baltimore; I guess this region can support only one healthy, prosperous city), but we chafe at the inmpositions they have presented to us over the years, and the limitations they've imposed on our representation in congress--we hope that the new "Taxation without Representation" license plates might help. And yes, I do think that administering programs at the local level is more practical, honorable, and efficient--we are living proof of that. I'm sorry I missed your point; I'm just terribly sensitive to anything I perceive as negative to my beloved home town; I've been deflecting attacks for years and my hackles go up quite quickly; I'm sorry I misunderstood your post. By the way, I wish you hadn't had to blow through town so quickly; I've always enjoyed your wise posts and I wish I could have met you. If you have more time the next time you're in the area; I'd love to meet you for lunch or whatever. You know my e-mail address. Regarding the poor, I've read quite a lot, including an article by novelist Walter Mosely and other African American leaders, saying that the poor would be better off if they could find a way to help themselves without being dependent on the government; that dependence just demoralizes and disempowers them. Of course, the government can help by improving the tax situation for small businesses and by provding set-asides for minority- and women-owned businesses, but the overarching goal should be making all of these businesses and people free from the help of the government. I think you and I have a good bit in common as Democrats who aren't really in favor of "big government"! And thanks for your ecstatic congratulations; yes, we have finally found our way out from the governing clutches of Big Brother, and we are all the more prosperous and happy as a result.

YGK--mazel tov on your gig, and having GB wellwishers there to, well, wish you well. Keep all posted on future dates.
chere--hey, girlfriend. Thanx for your fresh breeze from the Keys. Missed you.
Aus--dig your accounts. Can almost hear them.
OK, look, if we're talking JazzFest, WHICH WEEKEND? Gotta start planning. I am WAY up for a replay, with you in it this time, m'sieur tom! And great parodies. Carpe diem, ha. Can you do "Every Chad You Hid"?
Re: Keith Jarrett: that was meant to be extreme understatement.
Blaise--frevvinsakes, just c'mon down. I want to see you & tom bounding toward each other like a Breck commercial. Re: election--sounds like the opposite up there, ie it was a foregone Chretien-clusion. What's happening with secession these days? Dead issue? Still simmering?
StevieDan--ETA Monday nite. Warm up the onion bloom and the cash register for me. I'll wait to get Show Biz Kids 'til I get there. Hope you'll have another copy of that Miles to listen to! BTW, that Fleck/ Douglas/ Bush et al. was just what I was thinking, too. I saw them here not long ago and was blown away by their virtuosity. That night, a local boy--Brian Sutton--played guitar and was flying.
Happy b'day, Pete & dano!
Alta--you're cute when you're angry, or maudlin. Just kidding. I spent the first batch of formative years in NoVa, back when WOL called it "Chocolate City with the vanilla suburbs." In DC there's always been the ugly dichotomy of bleak poverty cheek by jowl with the demigods of power politics. Just think of that pile of a trillion bucks right under the grate that homeless guy is sleeping on. Unfortunately, the drastic gap between upperclass and underclass is widening everywhere, not just there. It's even affecting housing costs here, where we're way below the national average for % affordable housing. BTW, share something of your family bitterness.
Frank--I pretty much agree w/ you, and Ruby, can't believe you actually think you'd get close enough to even see the Presidents on those dollars. Ha! Why should the fatcat leopards change their spots when their hunting days are over? As for Dubya, he'll be punted out to pasture faster than you can say "Ronnie" by Senior and the handlers, who will fuck up the whole affair as quickly as possible. Me, I'll just hunker down and act locally on Healthy People 2010, since NC didn't do too badly, if you ignore the Perpetual Jesse Helms Senate Seat.
Speaking of fucked, the Dan was, again!, by Rolling Stone, who incredibly omitted them from its list of top 100 pop tunes, instead including such luminaries as Britney Spears and No Doubt.
Gene--welcome. Got your feet wet right away with that great parody.
RS--Good; yes; and yes, but only if I can Ambush you in it. On second thought, I have a feeling "dugout" might mean something different to you, but if it's near third base, I might go for it.

Ruby Baby--DC has not had the highest murder rate in the nation for ten years. Also, back when we were in the midst of our crime wave a while back, Capitol Hill actually had a HIGHER crime and murder rate than neighborhoods of a similar income--that was what so scared the lawmakers and caused them to propose such harsh legislation. Had their aides lived in a more peaceful neighborhood, like mine, things might have been different. Anyway, things have changed and Capitol Hill is now as peaceful as similar neighborhoods in the rest of the city. However, some suburban jurisdictions, including some in Northern Virginia, now have a higher crime and murder rate than DC (I can get the stats for you if you wish). I'd never live in Virginia, and I get a little nervous every time I cross the river into that beautiful but scary place. And I thought you were my friend--I'll be more careful about whom I trust in the future.

Clas: I'm catching a cold. Now every time I sneeze, you know what comes to mind!
Dr.Mu: My sister has worked in DC for close to 20 years now. It's a dangerous place. It has the highest murder rate in the nation. There's a HUGE disparity between Capitol Hill & the rest of the place. She will never, never, never live there. She lives in VA, like all the rest of the federal employees of her kind.
Steviedan: I didn't get you out - the tie goes to the runner. But now here comes a fast ball - the recession started at least 2 months ago. Bush will take office (when Gore has exhausted every foolish path) and he will attempt to return a portion of our taxes to us one way or another. But then, when they finally see the recession is here, the media will blame Bush & his tax cuts for it. And you will believe it. You'll be sitting on the bench, man, thinking you just hit a homer.

Earlier this evening: Robert Fripp In Residence (November
28- November 30, 2000) WFC Winter Garden Performances at 12:15 and 6:30 PM daily
[the final performance is being recorded for rebroadcast on WNYC's New Sounds
hosted by John Schaefer] (WNYC: AM 820/ 93.9 FM)
Pamphlet available to all: Robert Fripp on Soundscapes
"The series of performances is itself part of an ongoing exploration of how
one might be a musician, professional musician and human being simultaneously,
and how music might enter our sorry world, despite all our efforts to keep it
out.
Soundscapes continue to surprise, excite, educate and instruct me. They are quite amazing. They have the characteristic of being true to the moment in which they are performed. That is, they honour this key principle: act in accordance with time, place and person.
This series of performances is part of an ongoing series which has the aim of finding ways in which intelligence and music, definition and discovery, courtesy and reciprocity may enter into the act of music for both musicians and audience. These performances take place within a commercial culture in which we are inescapably ill-placed.
Musicians will find support in the communityif they provide music which is either needed or wanted. The current dominant strategy of this music industry is to persuade the public to want a particular piece of music. My own view is that Soundscapes aren't much in the way of a product line which accomodates itself to a hard sell. As a musician, I am unable to perform where the performance is only a piece of promotion: this degrades the performance in a subtle way, insults the audience and humiliates the performer.
Another approach and a soft sell is to allow the music to speak for itself. The music then reaches its audience gently over whatever period of time it has value or significance. Not all conversations are best carried out by shouting. This approach assumes an informed, alert and inquiring audience, that is, an audience a musician would wish to have. Simply, the music protects itself, its performer and its audience.
This is an unfamiliar music, improvised, presented without guarantees, sometimes unpleasant and often very hard to listen at, to and through. It is not a music which of itself would claim to be entertaining. Rather it presents challenges to both performer and audience. Soundscapes are a continuation and development of Frippertronics, the music of my solo guitar work based on delay, repetition and hazard. The original technology for this approach to making music incorporated two Revox A77s in a system of analouge recording and playback. This approach was introduced to me by Brian Eno in 1972 (and became No Pussyfooting). Today four TC2290S have replaced the Revoxes. This profusion and development of effect units, and the advent of MIDI control, during the past decade have made a possible a proliferation of choice and opportunities in the moment for shaping sound" - Robert Fripp
The performance: Secured 12th row center seats. Killer. With bud. Scored two cold Rolling Rocks from abuting restaurant. Flask in pocket. Mixed crowd (although overwhelming majority were white bespectacled men). Lots of Krim fans but also random people walking about and checking out the performance. Sorrounded with large tall pillars lit up with small white lights. Very tall palm trees intersperced about. Behind us, a majestic marble staircase. Beautiful setting. The stage back lit by pale red and adorned in back center with a huge Christmas wreath with white lights and giant red bow. John Shaefer from radio station walks out and greets crowd...mentions how each performance is truly different and how at noon o'clock earlier the space is vastly diffrent thus affecting Robert's response/performance...warned against video and flash fotography. Mentioned how directly above the venue there was an encounter with a helicopter and a UFO. Mr. Fripp walks out, on time, 6:30. Acknowledges crowd which is clapping and shows muted enthusiasm. He takes a bow and looks out into the crowd. Several hundred black plastic folding chairs and some metal benches provided seats to about 300 plus people. Chairs not comfortable and closely spaced. Fripp wearing black vest, long sleeved black shirt, black trousers. Straps on orange/red sunburst Gibson guitar. Behind him to his left a guitar stand with a gold coloured Gibson. Sits on stool and stares at his rack of goodies. Stream of consciousness thoughts scribbled during performance by humble narrator:
1st "movement" : Eerie
sounds immediately fill entire atrium. Long resonating notes. Deliberate and
full bodied. Warming up now. Orchestral like -walls of sound. Sonic Jedi
master...layering...sowing seeds of sounds to be later reaped in a havoc of
sound clusters...shifting left to right working foot pedals. Sound fuller now. 9
minutes elapsed. crowd enraptured. Circular thumb movements on free spinning
wheels on sound tower. Client comments: "this is not happy music. Sounds
like backdrop to scary movie." Melancholy. Fripp is ARTISTE. posing so
well, and admiring sound walls. Crecendo.....resonating....
2nd "movement" : Eerie strat here too. Bell like swaths of sound.
Denominator is undulating sound...resonating...continuing with wall gaps and
diffrent yet recurring themes. Strictly experimental. I close eyes...wow...sound
much fuller....wants to transport you far far away to alien land. Impactful.
Peaceful meadow now....not angry. Shades of Brian Eno's Music For Airports.
People walking by are definitely interested. Pleasant. 7:01 pm. Sound continues
to flow...easy. Admires it again. Refines it. Heavenly sounds here...could sleep
to this. Xsition: weird crackly/popping sounds...like radio static...big time
loops and delays..eases out then back in...
3rd:Picks where 2nd left off. Piercing notes...back to weirdom. E-flat versus F sharp. Ominous and DOOM control here. dark...watch out. Heavy pipes/bass..NOT NORMAL. something is wrong. Streaming media....foreign landscape...Mars, Jupiter...Kubrik would use this in 2001 sequel..
4th: Makes you understand.
announcement. What's been done here. Dark dark skies.Murderer lurking...or
something worse! Light trying to pierce and does but soon overtakes by darkness
which reigns here. [Flash from camera flashes here.] Fripp in full command of
sounds. Master moulder. [second flash happens here]. Fifty minutes into it.
Working up to something but What???!!? More volume. ConfliKts unresolved.
Brewing trouble. Ramparts of sound now. No resolution in sight.
A battle..Loops/delays/recurring themes..Triple sadness. Admires work again (as
does crowd). 7:15 xsition? Peace tries comeback. Resonating note flutters amidst
sound walls....fades. Gauges audience after full assault but never looks in the
eye...surveys from the corner of his eye. People start clapping. Fripp stands
and takes bow. Calmly walks off stage.

Altamira: No disrespect was truly intended toward the fair people of DC. I've visited there many times since 1966, growing up in a neighboring state. Plus many from my old school lived in the general area. Oh, I doubt that the average income is the lowest (never said that) - but I bet the discrepancy between mean and median incomes is still large. The fact is that not that many blocks northeast of the Capitol, there is a large area of extremely poor people and run-down housing. Yet nearby Montgomery County in Maryland has had the highest per capita income in the US for many years (at least through 1995). If the situation has improved within the DC city limits recently now that Barry and the feds are gone - that's wonderful!! *My point* concerned the management of the area - the feds could noteradicate or even manage poverty in their own backyard. Therefore, they cannot do it at the national level. Supporting state and local programs has always been more effective. I thought it was clear that I was disparaging the notion that the Feds should take care of us and our poor. In the truest sense your words have completely supported my point and intent. My apologies if my hurried verbage amounted to a hanging chad! Also, ecstatic to hear you all have won your independence from federal tyranny!!!

Two Against Closure
Bad news breaking election day
Busy tummies turned inside out they say
Patrick Buchanan, not that old screw!
Across the lobby the pregnant chads fell through
Florida people, the GOP stole
Shaken perspectives with 'em tiny holes
Everyone counted in this gruesome scene?
many one of them left, I hear you scream
CHORUS:
Two against closure, what a show
Who's gonna grab the state? we still don't know
Two against closure, let it go
Who's gonna punch a hole through your sorrow?
Dubya and Cheney. we thought last
night
Damn you, silly. Gore needs to get it right
There's your clear intent. you sure 'bout that?
gotta call me an all black jury fast
Call your lawyer - spill your
drink
Or form an alliance? what do you think?
They all massively thought it was enough
Tallahasee's gonna help us kick that stuff
CHORUS:
Two against closure, Bland and Weened
Puttin' big heat on absentees unseen
Two against closure making bread
These boys oughta hang the gloves for all this dread
Tipper's angry, she opens wide
Fill her mouth up with Willy's freakin' prize
Little Bro Larry and the good Hillary
Sparkling kitchen counters gonna miss all three
Pityful White House in deep distress
A special glue covered this ugly dress
Two against closure they like that stuff
If these things happen then you'll hear about us
CHORUS:
Two against closure'd love this gig
Pull out their weenies for they're too damn big
Two against closure sticks and stones
Who's gonna chase the interns? it's unknown
Two against closure, noone knows
Who's gonna drop the lawsuits and let go
Two against closure make it known
Gonna go bang zoom to the moon if this goes on
Scrap the ballots, the whole damn
batch
Scratch the raggedy edge before they match
Gipper or whatnot, make damn sure
They shake that rubbish out on the Congress floor
Count the voters who went astray
Nuke the silly ones who voted the wrong way
Tipping judges with all this green
Make the liars stop - sweep'em kissing clean

Roy Scam--You deserve the Bunsen Prize for your wonderful wit.
Genius@17--I had a truly shitty day at work and am in a major down mood tonight, so I can identify with your unhappy state. Damn, life just sucks some times.
Robert Moses--What are you doing in Virginia? I thought you had done all of your work in New York. Thanks for your lively comments, and I have ridden in a vehicle on your parkway--it's quite attractive. I've also read a good deal about your work, primarily in an oral history of Manhattan called _You Must Remember This_. Apparently some folks liked what you did and some folks didn't, but I've admired what I've seen of it. That sycamore leaf that the New York parks have adopted as their logo is pretty slick, by the way.
YGK--I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Tycoon Dog play and seeing you again. You all were wonderfully cool with the hideous sound system and the constant, mid-song interruptions by officious staff--real pros all around. The music was mellow and intriguing; a great combination. I learned that the plump, middle-aged men in drag were members of a group called Grandma Dynamite; at my last job, that was the affectionate nickname given to our septuagenarian receptionist--I think she was far more fun than the band was, but perhaps I caught them at an off moment. I'm glad things are going well for you, and I was charmed by your fun hat.
lp--Being the baby of the family isn't always a good thing; I'm glad it was for you. For me, an unplanned child (my mother was taking birth-control pills when she conceived me) with two much older brothers, it was like having four parents to be unpleasant toward me and call me a failure instead of just two. Now that my parents are dead, one of my brothers carries on the tradition, led by his wife, the truly nasty one--the other brother has pretty much cut off his connection with our severely messed-up family; he still sends me cards for my birthday and Christmas, which is more than he sends any other family member (they get nothing), but to get two cards a year from a brother I love who lives less than ten miles away from me is kind of a let down, to say the least. I'd better sign off; I'm getting maudlin.

Jim~ Food Lion, in my experience, has the highest Fagen to total music ratio, but you've definitely got me on the Farm Fresh room-full-of-beer feature. FF is the only place I've ever been, store or otherwise, that has a living room sized enclosure meticulously maintained at beer temperature, stacked to the ceiling with the golden nectar of the gods. You can almost hear a choir of alcoholic angels when you enter this holiest of sanctums. If only they piped in as much Steely Dan music as Food Lion, this would surely be the place where we go when our work here on earth is done (presuming there is a spiritual Miller time). ....Steely Dan music played on a celestial harp...."There's Uncle Darrel....there's Hank Williams.....look, it's John Belushi....sucking one down with Homer Simpson."
Based on cara mia's fine photos of the Herington concert, I'm redoubling and accelerating my pathetic campaign to be the '01 recipient of the Bunsen prize. I have no "qualifications" like fame, intelligence, or likeability, but I do have...well, anyway, if nominated, I will accept; if not nominated, I will demand perennial recounts.

FF has those radical walk in coolers, big as a field house, where you nonchalantly stroll through the automatatic sliding doors, get hit with sub-Arctic air, grab the first full case of anything you see, glance furtively around to see if they have any Red Stripe, and run like hell back the way you came. Course, I've never been able to stay in there long enough to discern if they even have a sound system, let alone SD.

I have been a Steely Dan fan since 1973 when I bought
"Can't buy a Thrill" on LP and transferred it to 8-track.Have watched
the "Aja" biography on Musimax "The music channel".The bio
was about the making of Aja and some nice shots of Wayne Shorter with his
sax.Especially enjoy Donald's '82 solo lp "The Nightfly"
which to my surprise was a completely digital recording,a novel thing for the
early eighties.Recently bought "Two Against Nature" on the ??Giant?
label.Lots of Jazzy influences(reminds me a bit of Aja).Keep up the excellant

Dr. Mu--Poorest people in the nation? Where did you get that from ??!! I'll look up the stats when I have a minute (I'm super busy at work), but I surely doubt that my fair hometown has the poorest people in the country by any measure. And speaking specifically of average income, that's been going up by leaps and bounds in recent years, as lower income folks move out and higher income folks move in (I'd rather the lower income folks had become higher income themselves, but it didn't work out that way). Housing prices are going through the roof in many neighborhoods, including mine. Houses are selling for two or three times what they were less then five years ago, and I saw an item on CNN over the weekend (it was on the television in a restaurant) that mentioned that many landlords are considering raising rents by around 30%. There are buildings being constructed and renovated almost all over the city; even Ward 8 (the southernmost ward on the eastern side of the Anacostia and formerly the worst in the city) is doing well, with a number of nice developments being built, the first new construction since 1946. Even the white people are moving back to that ward (sadly, often a sign of an improving area). And we are no longer under federal rule! The control board is kaput! Mayor Williams and the city council are running things now, and what wonderful prosperity we are enjoying under them (I do wish they'd fix those damned potholes, though; they're a real hazard to cyclists like me). On the other hand, Northern Virginia is a sprawling suburban mess spreading its tentacles further every year into what used to be gorgeous farmland. (The rest of the state is beautiful, though, even though it's run by politicians who are to the right of Atila the Hun.)
How would you like it if I visited your city and wrote nasty, unsubstantiated, untrue things about it?
YGK--I'll write about my great pleasure in hearing Tycoon Dog after I stop hyperventilating and smoke stops pouring out of my ears.

G'day everyone on the GB
Not much happening on my patch at present. I think dano's gone into hiding!
A dull day at work, miserable day of weather (they don't call it 'Raintown' for nothing)
Serious lack of UK punters on this board. Pity, because some kind of UK Dan wing-ding would be a good laff.
Gina; 'Shamrock 69!!'. This truly dreadful band were named after their home 'hood, Hersham in London. 'If the kids, are united'
Poor racist joke corner;
Pat and Mick are doing a crossword.
Pat says to Mick 'this is a hard one, 'old MacDonald had one..four letters, any

Sure Pat, thats easy, its Farm.
Oh, how do you spell that? says Pat

Chips, ever so right on the
euthanasia law. Still, being active on a forum regarding the issue (I'm all for
it) we had 80% voting no, 20% voting yes. The reasons they came up with why
euthanasia should be forbidden, whether it's cultural, based on religion or a
prehistoric view regarding life & death ...
I felt like Shamrock '69, the Clash and Johnny Rotten's Sex Pistols again, for
we used to have these discussions at school and kids back then had more sense
about matters like this!
Haha. Talk about euthanasia. I did listen to all the above and the Ramones as
well. But I had some Earth, Wind & Fire at home and Steely Dan to keep the
pogo from the punky brewster, I LOVED THAT SHOW, btw.
I wonder mr Chips, how do you feel about a Live in Europe Steely Dan CD? Want to
highlight a petition, when you're on the Ramones site for example?

The sloe-eyed creature in the

this recount has me on the ropes

the election's way gone but now it comes back
court's business is to elect me I
say
It's almost tragic that it might slip away
This ballot in Palm Beach, corrupt

Buchanan - 3,000 mine, Buchanan
The recount squeeks, and it's the
slickest ploy I ever heard
we'll get the votes on round the third
And if I'm not already miffed enough
She hits me with her certified bluff
That's her style - Secretary of
State
I'll have her head cause she's held my fate
She's George's choir girl with her
marks on the door
It's almost tragic that she's messed with Al Gore
This dark race - so chilling it's
cool
It's kind of like the opposite of my mandate to rule
who cares of the public creed
this one is mine, I will not conceed
I'm pretty sure that if the

I'll just stand there, balling eyes
I'll just have to make it

Pete Fogel~hippo birdie two ewes.
Jerry Brown~ The idea that a bunch of chanting trailer park morons intimidated the Dade County government into ceasing their vote count is an absurd redneck fantasy, and I'm sure you don't actually believe it. That "mob" was staged for some reason, but I'm sure it didn't cause institutional trembling in the coke dealer capital of the south. Any neighborhood watch within 50 miles could have dispersed that group without even raising their voice to Scarface level. I could have dispersed that little Gritstock with my two springer spaniels and a garden hose set on 'mist'.--Aside from that small flight from intelligence, I think I might agree with you. I at least agree with your taste in women.
I heard "Snowbound" on the speaker at Food Lion (still the most Dan-friendly of the major grocery chains) the other day, and, hours later, we had our first snow of the season. Coincidence? You be the judge.

Oleander - "Well, yes, Keith Jarrett wrote 'Long As You Know You're Living Yours', which appears on 'Belonging', a nice album, and the Dan liked it so much they kind of adapted it into 'Gaucho' and share writing credit with Jarrett."
Yeah, sure, they shared the credits after being sued. It took 8 or 10 years before Keith Jaretts name was among the composers names on Gaucho.
Stevie Dan/dr Mu - hey, I'm amazed too, you guys like that song too? And you Stevie, are playing the song with your BAND! Great.

I have just returned from the beautiful Key West. My sister's wedding was truly what a storybook fairy tale wedding little girls dream about are. The weather was fine.I reconnected with relatives whom I have missed for so many years. I am WIPED out from all the traveling and ready to turn in as soon as I finish this post. I have missed this GB. A few times in my travels this place popped into my head and I longed to post. The energy and spirit of the Keys and the turquoise waters spurred me to write. Something I have not done in a really long time. Perhaps Papa Hemmingway Did in fact mount me and as his spirit passed through so too, did new words flow from my spirit onto paper. The coconut Shrimp was fabulous. The chef at the Jamaican restaraunt made me a special Scotch Bonnet sauce for dipping and we talked religion. One look at the decorative eight strands of beads around my neck spurred deep and meanigful conversation. The tequilla made me dance and smile. My step father and I TRIEd to reconcile. Alas we trod but only a few baby steps. Better than nothing right? I did a special ritual for the Goddess of the sea, the healing mother, Yemeya. I asked for healing and for vision. I rubbed fruits all over my body and a voice instead of vision came to me. It said "Dive Deep Chere". And with that, I glistened into her currative waters clad in nothing except the eight strands of beads around my neck. ( It was a nude beach) I put on fresh new white clothes, and said a prayer of thanks. I fasted the rest of the day, bought some handmade sandals from the famous Cuban establishment KINOS and walked that town. Later that night the wedding party sailed out on the Schooner Liberty Clipper and with much courage I graced the gathering with song. The song was "Into the Mystic" by Van Morrison. Of course the stereo was playing so I had much help from that clear tone brushing just above the waves that clapped that boats bow. I did not even know I had such a good voice. They loved me and told me so. Me and my endless search for love. Any kind of love. I think perhaps that beautiful little black polka dot cocktail ensemble complete with black cha cha shoes gave me some sort of confidence that has been hidden away. The breeze blew my hair and although the air was cold and the sea spray constant, I was warmed by the hugs and dearly missed family all around me. The wedding was so wonderful. That St. Paul's Church has more stained glass in more beautiful colours than any church I have ever seen. The late afternoon sun shining through the glass was such a sight that it took my breath away more than once. I listened to my new CD Sade's Lover's Rock over and over. I made of it a soothing balm,, a temporary panancea, to the pain that refuses to cease and fade away. There even amidst the colourful shadows of the afternoon sun through that beautiful stained glass, there at the edge of the shore line that whispered it's waves at my feet, there searching for a peace that only echos in the safety of memory, the tears rolled down my cheeks. And here I sit hoping my dreams will rouse me gently with the fresh miracle of surprise. Fresh and sweet like fruit and cream. I will have that for my last thought this Eve. I will close my eyes and imagine Eden. And I will remember what is love.
Instant Karma's and such. Shout at me peoples. I need to know I am heard. Much love the resident JUJU princess/Chile' chere

Oh. No more lyrics then? Time zone

I meant the tragedy of this election, oh so tragic, the tune of almost gothic.
It's past almost tragic, we have to agree here, right? Still, it's on a verge of
becoming a drag, a travesty.
The real election-issue. Concerning the parodical joker of this board, it might
easily be a kiltman ...
Wasn't it SteelyPhil posting about
a new release of Steely Dan, to be expected in 2001, a wish for it to be
specific?
Well, some live recordings of 2againstNature tracks would be welcome,
SteelyPhil, along with new material ofcourse ...
Didn't anyone who attended the le Bar Bat/Jon Herington "grill" the present SD-crowd for some info? But I can imagine questions like that not coming to mind.
A friend of mine was
"stalked" by a 62-year old man who lives in Liege, Belgium but
originally comes from New Orleans, haha. The
guy was forcing cocaine on people and apparently even the owner of the cafe
wasn't too keen on taking that man out with the trash .. so when I asked my
friend to come to New Orleans with me, haha, his first image was one of a
frenzied man, black hands tinged with white powder sticking fingers into
people's noses! It was merely a poor timing of occurrences. My friend chased out
of a bar and me on the cellphone asking, hey, wanna go to New Orleans next
april/may? All a matter of seconds here, haha.
The 62-year old usually is no hazard to any crowd.
Probably suffered this bad hair-day ..
The morning in this time zone is
now evident.
I won't linger any longer.

Clas: "Never Die Young" is among my favorite JT recordings. Gut meets gentle precision. I don't have the CD for the reasons you've cited.
Just got back from travels in Arkansas and Wash DC over the Holidays. The
dichotomy between obscene wealth and abject poverty have never been so apparant
as contained the DC area. A lot of new capital (as in $$) is flowing though the
DC area at an increasing rate. Is this directly from industry? High tech?
R&D? Business and corporate centers? Nope. It's *our* tax money, and hope
for grabbing it, that are feeding the pet projects, perks, lobbyists, and
secondary industries. Yet within the confines of DC itself, the *only* part of
the US that is under the *direct* rule of the federal government the poorest
people in the nation sleep with de shade on de light while the politicans come
out at night. Obvious conclusion: hell, you all can figure it out...
Northern Virginia was just gorgeous though. It was a quick hit...sorry could not see those in the area...

She awoke seized with fear. The darkness surrounded her, enveloped her, left her gasping for air as if held under water. Slowly she regained her bearings. The fire had gone out. The shapes of objects became gradually visible in the moonless night. She was at the cabin, had fallen soundly asleep after casting the letters into the fire. The letters. The Beast. She had seen his dark eyes in her dream, seen him coming toward her dressed in black, seen his hideous shape, the hair raised on his back, ugly folds of skin visible underneath his clothing. She raised a sabre over her head and brought it down upon him with all the force of her body....
The letters must not have all burned. She reached for a light and went to the fireplace. Yes. There were still pieces of the letters there. She relit the fire with a white candle and ignited the letters, standing back as the flames reached up and licked at the top of the fireplace. The letters turned black and finally curled up into complete disintegration. The beautiful words that masked true evil returned to their master. An overwhelming feeling of peace came over her as she realized her freedom, felt her distance from it all.

Do It Again poster: I agree totally with your sentiments, but man, we gotta smooth out those lyrics! Even Donald Fagen couldn't squeeze those into a tune. But I love you for it, just the same.
I saw a truck the other night with a huge sign that said, "Al Gore SUCKS!" There was a smaller sign underneath that read, "Hey Al, I've got a 'hanging chad' for ya!"
Frank (west of Dollywood): Bush wants to give US back the surplus. It's Al Gore who wants to spend it all & more. How stupid can you be?

But you'll hang up the election till they nominate you king
You go back, Jack, do it again,
recounting on and on
You go back, Jack, do it again
When you know she's a high climber
and she's Bush's elected friend
In this room she's certifiable and her neck your like to bend
But she cuts short your own recount
and she brings you only sorrow
All this time, She's pulled a fast one
but you'll have em counting votes tommorrow
You go back, Jack, do it again,
recounting on and on
You go back, Jack, do it again
Now you swore that you're
couragious and a respected congressman
then you went with Bill and Hillary to the second post in the land
those marred votes in Broward and Dade couldn't bring you power and greed
but you'll die before you admit it and you will not now conceed

There are no principles more fundamental to American life
than these: The right to vote and the rule of law. Both of these principles are
today threatened in the state of Florida.
On Wednesday November 22, a mob of paid Republican operatives, bused in from out
of state, entered the Miami building in which a manual recount of votes was
being conducted in accordance with the law. The mob yelled, chanted, pushed and
shoved, engaging in clear verbal and physical intimidation.
(See New York Times, Thursday November 23.) Soon thereafter, the Canvassing
Board of the county of Miami Dade reversed their earlier decision and ended
their manual recount. As a result, 10,700 votes were never counted in any form -
machine or manual. Those 10,700 voters will not have their voices heard.
Sunday night Gov. Bush was certified the winner of Florida by 537 votes. This
count disregarded 180 additional votes for Gore uncovered by the Palm Beach
manual recount, 157 votes for Gore in the Miami manual recount, and 51 votes for
Gore in Nassau County which were inexplicably subtracted after the first machine
recount. So, based on the votes already counted, the Bush lead should be just
149 votes. This is before the 10,700 votes which were never counted in Miami.
Vice President Gore will now contest the election and ask that those 10,700
votes be counted. There will be other, very compelling grounds for the contest
as well.
Please stand by the principles of counting every vote, the rule of law over the
rule of the mob, and one person-one vote. Every Florida voter deserves to have
her or his vote counted. The nation can afford to wait one more week to find out
who its next President will be. It cannot afford to compromise these principles
on which represent the foundation of our democracy.
Please disseminate this message far and wide.
Thank you, sniff.....

Oh, the Canuck election... I just

druggie on the ballot. 8 candidates I never heard of. What range! I still had to
make sure my mark was unquestionnable, know what I'm saying? Up here, we don't
really vote for the big guy/gal on our ballot. He/she has to be elected in
his/her county and his/her party has to win for him/her to assume control,
so-to-speak.
Our system still closely resembles the British one in a nutshell.

I am really puzzled at why there has not been a total re-vote in at least the

I'm glad Bush won. Now the rest of the nation can learn what many of us already know: Bush is a conservative good ol' boy just like his daddy and his daddy's former boss, and there will be nothing compassionate about it. W ran an excellent campaign for a Republican, but now he's got a real job to do. He will delegate most decisions to his cabinet, just like Reagan. His idea of domestic policy will be cutting taxes, banning flag burning, and overturning Roe v. Wade, just like his daddy. Sounds like a formula for the GOP to lose control of both houses of Congress in '02, and for W to be a one-term President. I think Gore sucks, as well, but I'd rather give a Republican a chance to embarass himself.
Katherine Harris is the Linda Tripp of 2000.
As for more important matters, what the hell is the Dan doing right now? I saw a phenomenal show in LA this summer, I love 2vN, but I am hearing little more about their future. They must get back to the studio soon.

Good Morning class. This election is completely about
money and nothing else. There is a
trillion dollar surplus sitting in Washington, DC, an unclaimed pile of our
money one trillion dollars high, and it is driving everybody nuts.
Especially the total greedheads who masquerade as Republicans. For the
record there are some economists who predict another trillion will pile up
before anyone has a chance to steal it or give it away. All that
fucking money has the GOP'ers foaming at the mouth like rabid dogs. The
lobbyists, tycoons, and just plain crooks who are
running that show are prepared to do absolutely anything to get their hands on
it. That includes milking that unholy alliance of rednecks, gun nuts,
KKK, Pat Robertson, and every other species of right wing shit-kicker for
everything they can get.
Old Nazi's who haven't had a boner
since Reagan bust through their pants
just thinking about it. Bill C. has done a spectacular job of standing
guard over it. He was able to outsmart the GOPs everytime they made a
grab for it. He has a place beside Madison and Jefferson in my book. No
shit. The three greatest presidents of the 20th century were FDR, LBJ, and
BC.
But no more. It's over. In four
years inflation will be out of control,
interest rates will be sky high, unemployment will be rampant and no one
will have any money because Bush's rs inflation will be out of control,
interest rates will be sky high, unemployment will be rampant and no one
will have any money because Bush's buddies will have stolen every fucking
dime.

kd, in no way would i want to jump ahead of ole and answer your question to her, but i think she may have won the gold kama in a fest trivia gauntlet. but more to address the origin of the gold kamas themselves, oddly they were promo items never offered for official retail sale. i only ended up with one due to the kindness of another of my customers who seem to frequently bestow me with collectable dan cds, vinyl and such. always a reminder that i seem to be living right.
clas, that's amazing. my partner & i have been performing "never die young" since it came out. never one of his biggest hits or anything, but it's a beautiful example of james' current compositional style and still quite a crowd pleaser. i was all ready to disagree with you about some of the other tunes on that album but after scanning the titles, only that one and maybe "baby boom baby" stand out to me. subsequent titles are really better, particularly "hourglass" (his most recent), "new moon shine" and most of "that's why i'm here" (a prior album). personally, i like alot of it better than his old stuff. he's become increasingly political as well and i'm sure you'd appreciate that aspect. david wilcox is quite like jt musically. he's even from the home state here of north carolina. i don't of course like them BECAUSE of that because, believe me, there's plenty of music here that sucks pine sap.

To The Hand-Counters in Florida
Given the recent Florida Supreme Court decision allowing for manual recounts to continue, please use the following guidelines when assessing the ballots.
1. Dimpled Chad for Al Gore: Clearly, the voters intended to cast a ballot for Al Gore but failed to fully penetrate the paper due to being too weak from not receiving badly needed prescription medications because they can't afford it. COUNT THIS VOTE FOR AL GORE.
2. Hole ppunced for Pat Buchanan: Since nobody in his right mind would vote for Pat Buchanan, the voter was obviously confused by the butterfly ballot. Further, only Democrats would be confused by this ballot so COUNT THIS VOTE FOR AL GORE.
3. Dimpled Chad for George Bush: Obviously, the voters started to vote for George Bush, then had a change of heart and decided not to. COUNT THIS VOTE FOR AL GORE.
4. Both Al Gore and George Bush holes punched: What most certainly happened here was that the voters intended to cast ther ballots for Al Gore and punched the hole. Then spying George Bush's name and realizing he would take away their Social Security, the voters became enraged and stabbed the name with their stylus. COUNT THIS VOTE FOR AL GORE.
5. No vote indicated: Voters were so worried about accidentally voting for Pat Buchanan, they decided not to risk it and didn't vote at all. Alternatively, they figured it was only common sense that they would vote for Al Gore - who wlse would they vote for? They assumed it was silly to have to go through all the effort to punch a hole for somebody. Either way, COUNT THIS VOTE FOR AL GORE.
6. Hole punched for Ralph Nadar: Look, the only reason these people voted for Nadar was because they assumed Gore would win. Imagine their horror the next day when they discovered they may have given Butsh the margin of victory! Since these voters did not want to vote for Bush, COUNT THIS VOTE FOR GORE.
7. Military ballots: Hey, if these people don't even have the ambition to get to the polling places, what right do they have to vote? DISQUALIFY THESE BALLOTS.
8. Hole punched for George Bush: Our poor, confused citizens clearly didn't understand what lay in their best interests. Our task here is to determine their INTENT, which was to vote for the candidate most likely *to provide additional, badly needed Federal Programs.* COUNT THIS VOTE FOR GORE.

Back from getting an ocean fix.... Really need one from time to time; dream of living out my life in my Japanese house on the shore....
StevieD--"Hi Fid," great movie, but then John Cusack can do no wrong; "To Kill A Mockingbird," one of the few movies to be as good as the book, and the book is one of the best ever. Special effects--depends. Worked great in "The Matrix," but now we will be subjected to a zillion bad uses of stop action, a la "Charlie's Angels." Bad when corny or imitative, best when technically superb and serve the plot. Fun to look back on really bad ones, like Harryhausen, how can you not love him?
NMN--whoa! So that was Mae West narrating WOH?!? I gotta go back & take a few fresh listens! "Is that a gnarly downside in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"
z--Well, yes, Keith Jarrett wrote "Long As You Know You're Living Yours," which appears on "Belonging," a nice album, and the Dan liked it so much they kind of adapted it into "Gaucho" and share writing credit with Jarrett. (That's the question that won me a gold "Kama"!) Borges was Argentine, as are gauchos; is that what you're driving at? On the other hand, I'm having a hard time connecting Borges & Jarrett. I have to believe the Dan must have been Borges fans. His perfect polish, his erudite surrealism... You look through his works and see things like "The Tango," "The Golem," "The Book of Imaginary Beings," themes with Steely threads. The poem "The Tango" reads just like a Dan song, in subject anyway. Oh well, maybe projection, since I'm a big fan.
RS--You know I mean just what I say. Reading history, eh? Tell us more about that ESLT-oo ref! And about that shrine--um, when can I move in? Could you remove the bunker from the playroom? And are any good looking attendants included? You can skip the eunuchs.

I would like to see tha Dan relaese another album. The latest installment in the remasters "Gaucho" is good, and so does is the new "Showbiz Kids; the Steely Dan Story: 1972-1980", but we want some new material! It looks like it might take a while, since tha Dan was on tha world tour and such. But, I wouldn't be suprised to see another Dan album amerge from tha mind of Becker & Fagen within tha next year (summer or winter 2001, maybe?).

Apologies to dano for ribbing him about te game today.
To the uneducated - if youve never heard of or experienced the Rangers v Celtic
derby in Glasgow you should look into it, it is the most intense sporting
confrontation possible. I couldn't eat before the game today, and that is saying
something!
Lucky my team got the result and dano's didn't (Ha Ha)
Gina, I don't know whether or not
to be pleased about what you said or to take offence!
Its genetically lucky that I look like Brad and my boys look like McQueen and

Dano--Actually, I don't celebrate Thanksgiving either. Dave and I drove down to Roanoke, Virginia, (a fun and cultured city) and hung out there for a few days and did some sightseeing in the surrounding area. When I was growing up, my father did most of the cooking on Thanksgiving (he did the turkey and the pies; my mother did the side dishes), but after he became too sick to cook (he had prostate cancer), we just ordered Italian food. I haven't had a traditional Thanksgiving dinner in over ten years (it would be kind of awkward for me any way, since I don't eat meat).

is indeed a very very funny song, Jim!
This phrase "i headed straight for my stash 'cause I wanted some of my
private blend which is two parts grass to one part hasj" and the melody to
it! simply hilarious.
it's a song about not having any left but twigs & seeds and calling someone
for some of these goodies. Nicolette Larson sings backing vocals on it, she died
a few years back, I felt sad when I found out, really. Clas, if you have the No
Nukes album, major mr JB spirit there, you must know Nicolette as well, right?
"Nothing but a Breeze", also has the Bowling Green song on it.
The other albums I purchased are Third down, 110 to Go;Let the Rough Side
Drag;Learn to Love it;
We have this dutch author Boudewijn Büch, he's peculiar to say the least, but
with an interesting taste for the finer and/or underrated things & people.
He has this program on TV, showing us "his world". He visited Jesse
Winchester, I heard the music and liked it. Only two weeks after seeing him on
TV I came across the albums. I feel like having found Treasure Island each time
something like that occurs, you know!
I still "dig" vinyl and value it more than this CD-business!!!!!
Two more hours and then ...
The Florida Saga continues?
I am really preparing, mentally and such, for a New Orleans Danfest. Aja, priorities in my life change all the time, haha, this has become a goal now, I think ... am really considering seriously.
Dano & TeeWee Man (the former
sisteralbraddy who's a laddy and a daddy and I like to add-y a TeeWee variety if
it's ok even if not I just did, didn't I?)
Glasgow Rangers is a bit "mine" as well, considering all the dutchmen
involved, haha. But I'm no sucker for soccer anymore.
The club I used to write/work for did not only fail to stay in the Premier
League, they manage to pop up in the news because of scandals. A few years ago
their accountant embezzled a lot of money and caused a downfall, two weeks ago
one of the major players was fired. He had gamble/moneyproblems and apparently
stole from his teammates, must have been at it for two years or so. This player
wasn't a bad player in his younger days and even made the national team, imagine
the disturbance.

Gina: I particularly remember two songs by Jesse Winchester - "Bowling Green" got some radio air time here, and "Twigs and Seeds" which didn't, as it made funky references to a certain herb. Funny, funny song.
Scenes from the big box CD store: The 16 year old with the learners permit got her driving lesson of the day by taking me shopping. While I'm deep into perusing the stacks, she comes a pleadin' for an Eminem disc. Now I'm usually a soft touch, but with all the fatherly huffery I could muster, I moralized until she beat a retreat (didn't hurt that she has to submit to my every whim until she actually gets that license!). In true fashion, she followed up with a Creed. Hmmm.

I just love this "shop"talk, guys. Music's just about the most vivid thing one can ever discuss. Or listen to!
Hi StevieD, about your store, do
you also guide some of your customers into musical directions they've not tasted
yet? I can imagine that being just the ultimate kick, some education along the
line .. There aren't that many stores left in Maastricht where the people behind
the counter know their business. We have these three independent ones, one
specialized in music for DJ's, mostly techno-trance-dance etc. and lots on
vinyl, a cool store to wander!
The franchised CD-stores, the kids who work there don't know nothing, really.
One should at least take an interest, right?
We used to have a mega Virgin store, did only make it a few months here. Gone
already!
In Germany CD's are cheaper, I also believe they have a better market for
quality music. I have to order in a lot, they don't have it stocked in store.
When there was vinyl, sigh, in those days browsing was a day-job, really!
Clas, ever heard of Jesse
Winchester? Singer/songwriter, folky.
I found a few of his vinyl albums on a fleemarket, in very good shape!
Time to hop on a bicycle and

Stevie Dan - Never heard of David Wilcox.
The band I played in back in the early 70's played "Fire and Rain". A great song I discovered thru Blood And Tears. They did a great cover of that song with David Clayton Thomas outstanding voice.
I didn't care much for Taylor until I saw rerun of a anti-nuclear show with Springsteen, Browne, Carly Simon and Taylor. So I bought his album (vinyl) "Never Die Young", the title track is a GREAT song. But I think that's the only song listen to from that album.

Ria was finishing her drink at the bar when he approached. This was the second night he had sat there at his table, staring at her throughout the show. He tried to affect a friendly smile, but everything about him radiated something distasteful, repulsive. She quickly began to hook up her monitor and earpiece and got up to take the stage again.
"Hey," he said. "I wanted to say great job."
"Thanks," Ria replied curtly. She paused and gave him a quick glance. He wore nothing but black, like camouflage, but she could still see folds of skin under his shirt, and thick hair on his chest. She shuddered. Probably on his back, too. He seemed to be trying to pass himself off as cosmopolitan, but the facade was transparent. She turned away quickly and made her way to the stage. The other singers were warming up and the horns were all ready to go. The crowd tonight was thin and not particularly enthusiastic. She hated having to take these small gigs, but the money and the exposure were too much of an enticement to turn away from.
The lights blocked most of her vision from stage, but she could still see that same ominous man off to the side. The dark haired woman he was with was upset, alternately raising her voice and crying with her face in her hands. He didn't seem particulary concerned, and Ria was grateful when the horns cued and she could erase their pathetic images.

Thank You Mr./Ms anonymous person! A rumor was circulated
that Fagen was the one who studied with Bauer on this jazz guitar newsgroup I
used to frequent, but that sounded wrong due to the fact that Fagen's never
played guitar (that I know of).
Even Becker seemed wrong because his playing has almost pure blues influence
(not that there's anything wrong with that!)and no jazz influence other than
some of his excellent work on "West of Hollywood from 2 vs. N, and some of
his tasty playing on the Plush Jazz-Rock video party etc...
If Dias studied with Bauer, he's alright with me- I think I'll head over to the
All Music Guide and see if he's released anything in that genre.
Now it's time for me to get back to the HFTCI- I think they're serving roasted

Stevie Dan- I am flattered that you mention me in the
same breath as the great Doctor Warren Kruger! You people should realize that
this wonderful man has a lot more going for him than just being mentioned in one
of the tunes by those two behemoths against nature.
Indeed, Doctor Warren K. took my case when I was rejected by some of the leading
homes for the criminally insane in this wonderful country of ours!
However, you did mention the great Lenny Breau in the same sentence as Vonda
Decreppard, leading any normal person (and me)to conclude that (perish the
thought!) these two were somehow involved with each other.
What Lenny Breau has to do with whether Herington or Dias can play bebop is
beyond me, but I guess we can chalk it up to that flawed,
stream-of-consciousness style you people have in this GB.
For the record though, I'm sure Herington (and Dias probably) can play
bop(witness those arpeggiations and bop licks on Kid Charlemagne on the
"plush jazz-rock party video), but, like most sell-outs of that generation,
found there was a lot more loot to be made bending strings with distortion on
while spewing out endless variatons on the pentatonic/blues scale, while real
artists, such as the aforementioned Lenny Breau, Jimmy Raney and the like,
slowly starved to death, making the fatal mistake of giving people more credit
than they deserve and paying the price for that error.
Those 2 "irresponsible bastards" against nature even admitted that
they chose Herington because they sounded like a "lounge group" unless
they had some screaming rock and/or roll guitar boy, bringing in all those rock
and/or roll bucks out there.
As a result, Larry Carlton is reduced to playing "Lite Jazz" ala CD
101.9 to bring back the big bucks he used to make with the boys.
On a completely unrelated note, nobody has yet responded to the question of who
studied guitar/harmony with Billy Bauer-
Was it Becker, Fagen or Dias?
And finally, what relation did "Gaucho" have to both Jorge Luis
Borges, and Keith Jarret?
Okay, you can go back to those Mozart Quintets, and may I suggest the Clarinet
Quintet as a sublime way to spend 20 minutes?

Hi StevieD, home alone then?? It's

I could actually have published it here in Holland, but it had to be translated

Hey now, you banana republic gringos! How's life? Who's the president in Feb?
Do you remember the discussion we had over the chordprogression in the song "Love needs a heart"-piano-intro (Jackson Browne)? I think I have the answer:
F F/A / Bbsus2 Bbm/ F G / Bb/C... /
Pretty amazing?
The change from Bbsus2 to Bbminor is supposed to kind of illustrate the sadness a life without love implies.
Then, in the verse there's a lot of dim-chords*, they symbolize the failings, the trauma, the narrator is hit by when "love just walks by his vacancy sign..."
* dim-chords contains of minor thirds (förminskeden tersen). So, the dim-chord is kind of a minor-minor-chord.
Minor-minor,isn't that kind of an inexorable self-assumed radge? The narrators sadness makes the narrator enormously indisposed.
Maybe this is what I miss with the Steely Dan music, the lyrics and the music doesn't interplay.

here's a weird one for you. this week so far, my store has sold one copy of SBKs. of course if the boys would've done the talk shows this week, you know, regis, oprah, good morning america, or even npr, we could squeeze a little more of that market share. however, in true underdog fashion somehow we've sold THREE copies of, get this now... KATY LIED !!!
gotta love that.
gina, which metheny do you equate with methadon ? i know that "we live here" is pure heroin.
morbid guy ? W-HAY scary, uh... dude.
blaise, there should be NO LIMITS to musical exploration. i don't know WHAT i would be without pygmy river drummers or polkas or cuban death metal or symphonies or james blood ulmer or n-sync or lerner & loewe or robert earl keen or burundi drummers... NOT a pretty sight !

Hello Oliver, a while back I wrote some about the New
York band Jango, they also have this similarity in their sound.
I however don't agree there should be more bands like Steely Dan, haha. For
there aren't, really. But if bands surface with a nice bite to call their own,
what if they sound like SD then, no problem I guess ...
Hey, do I detect some babylon misunderstanding here, Blaise & lp? Let's all have a drink at the Café D'Escargot and sing along with that Steely Karaoke, we'll be doing the babe choir thing and sing Dirty Worked, okay?
Dano, boohoo, he's gone, no more

It was weird to watch it from the start and waiting for accidents to happen,

Tonester – Thanks for the comments.
The night I commented on the
homeless, I bought a copy of the “Street Sheet” which is peddled around the
city. As coincidence would have it, it contained an interesting article on Bill
Evans’ final live gig (literally) – he died a week later. It mentioned how
the artists just can no longer afford to live in the city due to astronomical
rents. The musicians/artists are dying or selling out. Art doesn’t pay. The
jazz clubs are closing down in down town San Francisco – and yet the local
‘bay area’ musicians that play at the remaining clubs are usually of a very
high standard (ie. original sounds and talent that should be getting better
exposure). I had dinner the other night at a restaurant that featured the Ronald
Wilson Quartet. Many may ask…“who the hell is Ronald Wilson when he’s at
home?” A bloody good tenor sax player, that’s who, and he was backed by a
brilliant pianist, bassist and drummer, who seemed genuinely grateful for my
inadequate tip that I pushed into their tip jar. The music is not always this
good (I’ve been to a few jazz restaurants/clubs recently), but these guys will
probably not be here next year because the reward just doesn’t cover the cost
of coming into the city.
I’ve been glad to support these musicians – the RWQ beautifully played my
requested “Tenderly” the other night - and I’ll continue to support the
remaining artists when I return.
Time to prepare for the 14 hours at 40,000 feet.
By the way, I noticed “Two Against Nature” won Downbeat Best ‘Beyond’ Album of the year, putting Santana in his place (Carlos got best Group and musician).
We’ve really had a ball…Thanks. Back to “the restaurant”, the oncoming Summer, the lengthening days, the cats, Irish breakfast tea…
Cheers,
Mr Chow.

Along the ancient places they walked, and she showed him where all her people lived and died, where she learned their ways. The beads around her neck radiated with her spirit. In her bag, and unbeknownst to him, she had all of his letters, as she believed that they were the answer to the prayers she lifted, the candles that were burned, the spells that were cast in her name. Over their heads the palm leaves rustled, the fronds brushing back and forth. An ominous sign from the ancestors, but she was lost to the warning.
The Beast held her hand as they walked. He loved the way her dark hair brushed her shoulders as she laughed at his clever remarks. Her colors were bright, catching the light in ways that enchanted him, captivated him. When he pulled her close, however, so close that he could smell nothing but her essence, the insatiable desire to prey stirred within him again. She looked up at him, tears in her eyes at the beauty he had promised, and he tasted her vulnerability as if it was blood. The seductive allure of having her completely intoxicated him. She was his to crush, to control, to conquer again and again. He relished her naivete, the foolishness that blinded her to his beastly nature. He was so good at this, so good. He leaned close and whispered gentle things to her, gentle words that wrapped themselves around her like a noose.

I love Steel Dan, but I find myself wishing more bands sounded like them these days. I know there are others out there who feel like I do, but fear no longer. I saw a band in Sommerville, MA, that is ABSOLUTELY going to to blow you away. The name of the band is "LittleHorse," and you can find out more at wwww.LittleHorseMusic.com. This is a piano based band that has the same attention to lyrics, songwriting and groove as SD, with an original twist. This is truly becoming one of my favorite bands, and I wouldn't post this unless I thought you absolutely would love it like I do. They also recorded this disk I bought online with the Tower of Power horns. Let me know what you think of these guys, okay?
All the best,

this particular song.
And it is cool, really it is!

Happy Biggest Shopping Day of the Year: I'm staying home and sending my wife, Jackie Onassis Imelda Trump out there.
In my historical studies (Don't ask.), I recently discovered that 'East St. Louis Toodle Loo' was a reference to the way field hands walked while on the job. Why did you people never tell me this dialectic tidbit? I thought it was just a song about a guy leaving a town.
My daughter was watching "Kids In the Hall" reruns yesterday and, during a 1972 flashback scene, they played a few bars of a "Reelin' In the Years" cover. This show was no SCTV but they apparently had good musical taste and they even got the year right.
oleander~ Thank you. You should be advised that I instantly incorporate even the most superficial and flippant of compliments into my self image, and mentally enshrine the complimentor as a great thinker. Your shrine was already built so I just had to knock down a few walls and add a playroom.-- Actually, I'm very good at maudlin; I've written three songs for weddings and only one of them had to be rewritten because of controversial content.

Since I have a big yard with many trees, I always put the bodies under the leaf
pile on the curb. This, of course restricts your body disposal to certain times
of the year but it has the following advantages:
1) The city comes and inadvertantly disposes of it for you.
2) If the city doesn't come, you have some great mulch.

speaking of turkeys, dread zeppelin doing "free bird" ?
nah, dread zeppelin's a cultural miracle. for those who have not experienced them, in a nutshell:
a band...
doing led zeppelin (and other classic rock covers)...
in a reggae styley...
with an elvis impersonator...
it works only TOO good to believe.
warning !!! do not buy their latest "greatest hits". it's remakes (believe it or not) and not the genuine article. first album, "un-led-ed" is the best. the album containing the dub free bird is "the sun sessions" or "the fun sessions". the "f" is superimposed over the "s". hilarious and fun to break out at parties.
third world al ? sisteral was just fine with me. i'm sure steve v deals with me alright. unless st al himself objects, hey no sacred black cows here.
took off a couple of nights from gbusiness to catch some new videos. "gladiator" and "perfect storm". i enjoyed them both, but am curious as to what you guys think about the use of digital effects. certainly a process still in it's infancy, yet i enjoy the dimension that it is bringing to these types of movies. others disagree and find them distracting. cinema-types, discuss.
cara, thanx so much for the vicarious living aids.
lp, the ritster ? the album he and carlton did together a few years ago was very nice and kinda brought back some of the fire in both of them. i've always dug that "harlequin" album he did with dave grusin (who i normally DON'T care for much). and of course "captain fingers" was a nice example of 70s l.a. smooth fusion. that was a real distinct genre there. i think harvey mason did every one of those sessions. unfortunately, i think that "rit" album is way gone out of print. as for SOME of his grp output, it's a mercy killing.
rumblestrip i agree, propellerheads is techno done right.
i got a promo of SBKs. i'm not sure the liner notes would be worth a twenty-spot, so that's cool and it keeps the universe in line. but...
d&w, next project...

Blaise--Yes, and they have been pretty specific about doing that. This is from "Steely Dan Words + Music," an interview to promo 2vN from Giant:
DF: Yeah, this material is all
pretty new, you know as I say some of the things may be based on ideas from many
years ago that we had on tape, which is usually a cassette in a boom box, you
know, old work tapes that we sort of collate once in a while. It's a renewable
process, because obviously some things
don't work out the way you want, so you end up with these fragments, which then
can be later used for something else if they come along. For instance, if you're
writing a song and a chord progression will lead to a spot where you say,
"You know, this sounds familiar," and it'll turn out to be similar to
a chord progression from some fragment that we never used, and we say, "You
know, this effect might sound good here," you know, so we'll use that, and
we'll just pick those things out. You end up sewing everything together in a
way, and I think most things are so much more random than they seem, and then
when you put them together hopefully they won't seem random.
WB: Yeah, it's true. It's surprising when you're writing stuff how many
different ways a thing could work and still sound right. A lot of times we'll
sit there and we're trying to figure out which is best. They all sound pretty
good.
DF: What it is, is you'll be writing something and realize the section you're
about to write you've already written for a song that never matured.
WB: Right.
DF: For instance, this one song, "West of Hollywood," has a chorus
which we started playing something and it reminded us of a chorus of a sort of
reggae song we wrote in the eighties, and so we dug it up and we adapted it, you
know, but we had to change a few things, but essentially we were able to use
that idea fifteen years later.
WB: We're very economical.
DF: Yeah.
WB: We like to use old little bits, scraps of things that we find.
I think they're mostly talking about musical themes, but I would guess the same applies to lyrics.

Happy Day, 'Fans!
Lounging after gastrofaction. Mom
rocks.
Helped her prepare the feast with Nearly Dan's
live CD on the box. She says, "I know that one."
"Yeah, that was '73, remember?" She did.
She surprised me today with an armful o' early
birthday presents -- I'll be at the Grand Canyon
on the actual day(11/29) -- and, you know, I've
always felt that it was her day as much as mine.
L-U-V... it's real.
Here's that Herington setlist from
Le Bar Bat
a week ago tonight:
1. Like So
2. Fauntleroy
3. Valentine's Day
4. Turn Time Around
5. Dry Your Eyes
6. Devil's Food(featuring Carolyn Leonhart)
7. Rock Star(featuring Victoria Cave)
8. Beautiful Girl
9. Been There
10. Sunday
11. What Do I Have to Do?
12. Dirty Work(Bumpus, Pugh, Baker, M&C Leonhart, Cave)
13. Rollin' With The Punches
The thing I'd really like to
emphasize is how great
Jon's set sounded. Whether at the monitors, 30' stage
left, or upstairs, the sound was full and rich.
What do think the house played
following Jon's set?
Rather fitting, given all the smiling faces and warm
mingling bodies...
***THE BEST OF THE DOOBIE BROS.***
All I remember was standing with
Victoria, Geoff,
and others, singing "Listen To The Music" with
all our might. Later, "It Keeps you Runnin'" and
"Without You" fit perfectly. Wow.

Dano; 'we always play well at Ibrox'. When was the last time? When Kenny Dalglish played for you?
Anyway this aint a 'Soccer' board (I only want to stop talking about it cos my team are crap this season. Might start again on Sunday, eh Dano?)
Nice lyrics below, but I would
have to question 'drink Scotch AND whiskey(sic)' Christ, Scotch is bad enough,
but whiskey(sic) as well. It wouldn't take long before you died!
I know, I know, whiskey is how you thanksgivers spell it, but scotch loses the

Yes, it's pretty sad, all alone on Thanksgiving, posting
on one of my most refractory patient's cybergroup therapy websites, but I guess
I've blown it again.
The HFTCI noticed I "borrowed" the bus to help z make the vocal
cordectomy on Vonda Decreppard and it looks like I'm being disciplined again.
Well, they're so desperate for help lately that they can't afford to fire me,
but they have suggested that I spend a little time alone in my basement
apartment while they decide how much they're going to fine me this time.
To my credit, when we were just west of hollywood, I did have second thoughts
about drugging this ex-lounge singer/pianist and cutting out her vocal cords, so
I slipped some of the amytal in z's Sprite and dumped him back in the HFTCI
before he awoke.
Again, this disturbing, white (with a vengeance!) lounge singer chose some
wonderful songs to destroy and, again proving me to be the visionary that
BS&T sang about in "Plato, Diogenes and Freud" (they didn't have
room for Kruger of course), she attacked actual "standards" this time,
instead of her usual rhythm and/or blues evergreens!
First, she went after "Isn't It Romantic", making what was once a jazz
vehicle for such greats as Jimmy Raney, Bob Brookmeyer, Bill Evans and Tal
Farlow, into a C&W ballad!
If this was not enough, she mangled "Try To Remember" and Stevie
Wonder's "For Once In My Life" in the same breath!
I must admit, nursing my fragile ego, I was under the influence of my favorite
Monday nite cocktail of Celexa,Xanax, and a little bit of Scotch, so it didn't
sound as bad as denizens of straight reality must have been suffering thru, but
the pattern was the same: great tune, distasteful arrangement, disgusting white
impression of a great black singer (pick your choice-Aretha, Dinah, Ella, Marion
Williams, etc...)and then Ally Mcbeal messes up another relationship.
Well, I guess it's time to stick the America's Choice Turkey Breast meal into
the microwave, but before I forget-
Stevie Dan- at least we finally agree on something, but what the hell does Lenny
Breau (truly one of my all-time idols!)have to do with all this?
Was V.S. the one who strangled him? Callista Flockheart? I give up.
Also, none of you Steeleye Span fans answered my query about who studied with
the Lenny Tristano disciple, Billy Bauer.
Becker, Fagen, Denny Dias?

Cruiser and Optimystic~ Thanks. Generally I resent people with talent, smarts, a great relationship, and the admiration of damn near everyone; but you are making that difficult. Now get that TMII submission ready.
Ruby~ I lol'ed and almost rotflmao'ed at the turkey SOP. When my neighbor's daughter was little she had to write a paper for school about 'how to carve a turkey'; her paper started with, "First, get a block of wood and a knife..."
Uh oh, I'm being overcome with sentiment and even, yuk,..hope.....must crawl into the TV room and watch news...need to restore minimum levels of cynicism and bitterness...too late...niceness overcoming me...spiritual diabetes episode...

We grab a cab to my hotel
with his Eurasian bride
And guess who's coming along for the ride
Come on Daddy, get in

Where are you driving?
Mister Driver
Take me where the music play

Drive me to Harlem or somewhere the same
You're back at the wheel
Drive west on Sunset to the sea
Through the streets of Culver City

haha.
And even the turkey died with a smile on his face!
Did see an episode of the X-files yesterday, by accident really, was scanning the BBC. There was this nice shot between Mulder and Scully. Heard a nice word. Touchstone. Next to friendship another agreable way of interhuman relating.
I like this moment, the quiet

And maybe one day Stella Rae will take pride in this part of her legacy ..

Hey gang--
Just sticking my head in to say howdy. The work project I feared was going to run into sudden-death overtime (as in, the sudden death of my Thanksgiving holiday time-off) actually ended a day early, so I am free as a bird (mallard type) for four glorious days. On T-day itself I'm going to let a friend do the cooking; my own feast for guests won't happen until Saturday. Much more civilized way to do it -- gives me a couple of days off to prepare for the invasion.
I'm in the midst of bread-making right now (waiting for it to finish its first rising). Still have a bunch o' stuff to cook and clean. Gad, I feel so domestic.
I suppose I could be called a cannibal, because I love roast duck. I'm sticking with the traditional turkey this year, but I guess for me that's still next door to cannibalism. Figuratively speaking.
Loved the Le Bar Bat photos, Cara Mia. Wish I coulda been in that number.

Clas: Pete Fogel was involved with SD long before he was their photographer. Pete, via Metal Leg, did his part, along with the fans of Metal Leg, to get Walter and Donald back performing together, way back about 10 years ago. Working with Libby Titus, Pete also played role of "protector" when Donald was first "dipping his toes in live performing" again back circa 1990/91. What Pete has done for the loyal fandom existed way, way, way before there was any St Al or Hoops or...you got it all backwards when you imply that Pete started out as a GB'er, although the GB maybe came about indirectly, in part, because of Petey. Now, tell us about THAT bar bill.

To represent terrible and questionable things is in itself an instinct for power and magnificence in an artist: he does not fear them --- There is no such thing as pessimistic art -- Art affirms, Job affirms.

She awoke with the bright morning light in her eyes. Damn, forgot to shut the curtains again. Still, last night was too good to worry about getting less than 2 hours of sleep. Her low-cut, sequined halter and leather pants were tossed casually on the floor where she'd pulled them off as she walked in the door. I should have brought that cute blond home, she thought to herself. She was still energized from the show, could still feel the music pulsing through her body. Nights like that, when the band was so tight, her flying alongside, made everything before that worthwhile.
The audience was great, too, so responsive! They were able to go everywhere the band went, and she did some of her best scat. It flowed from her effortlessly, her body in perfect rhythm with her voice. On nights like these she hardly noticed anybody in the audience, but there were a few standouts this time that even the music couldn't erase. An ominous looking dark-haired man at a table close to the stage who never took his eyes off her. His pretty date, wearing strange beads around her neck, sitting and sulking. Why didn't she just leave him there? Or better yet, dance with someone else. She never understood why women put up with men like that. As if he even had a chance with her! A shy blond man near the stage, grooving with every note but afraid to make eye contact with her, though she tried several times. What would he have done if she'd propositioned him from the stage? She laughed at the thought, at the thought of him waking up in her bed, his clothes tossed on the floor where she'd ripped them off when they walked through the door.

Wagner can paint, he employs music for something other than music, he emphasizes poses, he is a poet; finally he appealed to beautiful feelings and heaving bosoms like all artists of the theater -- and with this he won over the women and those in need of culture. They have no conscience for art; they do not suffer when all the principal and most indispensable virtues of an art are trampled under foot and mocked for the benefit of secondary objectives.
That music may dispense with words and concepts - oh, what advantage she derives from that fact, this cunning saint, who leads and seduces back to all that was formerly believed. Underhand Christianity, nothing more.

Roy.Scam-another lol post! Promise me you won't ever leave this board!
cara mia-thanks for the great pics! God, how I wish I'd been there! We are ON for Jazzfest! Everyone who's interested mark your calendars for the last week in April/first week in May. A Swiss man? I noticed a lightness in your step. You go, girl!

dano: Yes I do know him. I used to play football with him
at Corby Town. Kenny aka Kendo is a good lad. I haven't seen him in a couple of
years. The last time I saw him he was a sales rep in the typical mold driving a
Mondeo. I don't know if he is still at Corby or even living here. I also know
his mates the Sinclair brothers and all his other football crowd.
So that wasn't really a long shot after all. The last-time I saw him he got sent
off in a game against some Northampton side or at least thats my lasting memory
of him!
I hope this is the Kenny Gold your talking about. He must be in his thirties
now?
All the best dano. Hope Celtic keep it up this season as my mum is a rangers fan
who I get hours of entertainment from by constantly winding her up!

Dano. I have got that Verve album. Them, Travis,Weller etc are are all pretty good for chillin' to. As I said previously, check out Badly Drawn Boy. Current single (UK) is 'once around the block' Previos was 'Dissolution', in that video he plays an NY cab, yello T-shirt and all, carrying fares on his back!
I'm scared to watch on Sunday, I feel the end is nigh, but big Flo might make a difference. Watching it at my mate's pad with a few bevvies.
I got dissed a bit recently on the name, so I have changed to thirdworldman, or maybe just plain Al.

I can only play one disc at time on my computer and on my boombox at home. Right now, I'm playing Benny Goodman Orchestra (The Jazz Collector Edition), and earlier this morning I was listening to A Bach Portrait and Durufle's Requiem. Later on, I'll probably listen to Heavy Weather (Weather Report) and Mood Indigo (The CAC New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, George French, Germaine Bazzle, and Johnny Adams).
lp--I'm quite familiar with Dogma (the director is an active Roman Catholic, which could explain the accuracy of the film). The man who does the layout for the newsletter at my (Episcopal) parish, which I edit, was trying to encourage me to see it when it came out. He's conservative theologically, and he was convinced that the movie had a strongly conservative theological viewpoint (among other reasons, because it it critical of some of the things the Roman Catholic Church has done since Vatican II that could be percieved as silly). He'd been to see the movie six times and was planning to smuggle in a little tape recorder so he could record dialogue and analyze it at home. He wanted his conservative friends to seee the film to find out if they agreed with him, but he was afraid most of them would be turned off by what he called the "Wayne's World atmosphere." So he wanted me to go because even though I'm liberal, I'm familiar enough with conservative theology that I could recognize that viewpoint if I saw it in the film. Unfortunately, I never had time to go and I can't rent it because I don't have a VCR.
Stevie Dan--Thanks so much for your helpful suggestions. The radio station I listen to plays Brazilian music in the evenings and I really don't like it, but I will check out the other folks you recommended.
Sister Alphonzo--Alas, I no longer play the bagpipe because I don't have enough time to practice the instrument and maintain it. I still have it, though, and I might have time to play it again after I retire.
LP--I have a CD of duets by Bobby Darin and Johnny Mercer called Two of a Kind--it's quite funny.
Earthbound--I enjoyed your comments on the Herington gig; it's intriguing to get another person's perspective.

Walked right over to him spoke some baseball then asked him about Hillary. I said I blamed him for us having to deal with her. He said he blamed it on cancer. looked gaunt. but excited as a kid in a candy store with cigars and booze flowing freely everywhere you looked. Band playing sucked but whatevah!

Pagan:Do you follow Wicca, naturism or some other form of
Paganism?
I've recently read The Witches Bible. It made for an interesting read but the
problem with all religions is they offer nothing new. There is an obvious course
which runs through them all. It's the Confioucus theory of do unto others as you
would have done upon you. With the added element of going to heaven as a reward.
One interesting cult/pagan tribe called the fan people of Congo brake this
trend. If you have spare time I would advice that you read some of their
literary. Its more diverse than most. From what I hear there is another cult
that studied Enochian chants but I warn to stay away as it messes up most
peoples' minds. Please DO NOT take this as a challenge it's a serious warning.

Mr. Chow - the large number homeless in S.F. has many causes, a few of which are:
during the 80's and 90's, S.F. was the destination for lots of homeless people because the City actually tried to help feed and shelter them, when neighboring cities were a *lot* slower in reacting to the problem, which in turned overwhelmed the city and it's many charity organizations resources.
the current dot com revolution is driving a lot of long time residents, many of them artists and those hovering at the poverty line, out into the streets, unable to compete for living space because of the skyrocketing rent.
the dot-commies are finding the market will only support so many online bowling startups, so could be that guy buggin' you for a buck today might have had stock options last year.
a lot of the more aggressive panhandlers actually commute in from out of town to hit-up the tourists. They may not even really be homeless.
That's what I understand anyway... I give thanks a lot that I have a cozy place to be on a cold night.
Enjoy your visit, and remember - most of the time, a smile will do in lieu of cash...

# of male orgasms in 24 hr period is 11. I guess the name animal is quite
fitting. Longest period in which I never orgasmed was 4 hrs. Now that was
embarassing but brought on by having too much to drink and the attractiveness of

What's the story with the homeless in this city (I realise this is a global concern) - I've done a LOT of travelling over the last 15 years and it seems out of control here - this may be a case of the homeless being concentrated in certain areas, but it seems incredibly sad. I just had one guy demanding "his dollar" as if it was owed to him. Great city - no doubt about it, but not a good situation.

Ultimate trivia answer-
Duke Ellington connection w/ 'Gaucho'.....Ellington's first recording sessions, including the ones that resulting in the recording of 'East St.Louis Toddle-o' (1926), took place at Brunswick Records Studios at 799 Broadway.....50 years later, sessions for what would become the 'Gaucho' album took place at A&R Studios (torn down in 1984) at 799 Broadway.....I believe these are the same studios where the infamous erasure of 'The Second Arrangement' took place.....a ghost of an old engineer???
came across this weird cd last nite- Michel Berger -Dreams In Stone (WEA 1982)...features, among others, Jeff Porcaro and lead vocals, by, of all people, David Palmer, perhaps his last studio tracks.....opening song was an overture entitled "JFK"......

She stood in front of the mirror and tied her long, red hair back from her face. 3 hours of sleep and 5 hours of singing before that, but today the nonstop show schedule left her feeling peaceful and content. Sunlight streamed in through her narrow windows and the warm, wet air brushed her face, soothing her tired voice. She stepped out onto her tiny balcony, just large enough for a chair and a climbing, intertwining vine, and sat down with her warm tea. She slung her long legs out over the balcony railing and laughed to herself that none of the passersby below noticed her there, wearing just a slip at four o'clock in the afternoon, drinking tea like a fine lady.
Shel walked down the path towards town, on his usual walk after work to pick up
his man-cub. He passed the narrow doorways and under the intricate, arching
terraces that decorated the wet streets. He had been making this walk alone for
some time now, and felt that familiar wistfulness at certain landmarks. Soon,
soon, he was certain, soon he would not be making this walk alone.
Across the street he saw the Beast, walking with a pretty woman. Her dark hair brushed her shoulders when she laughed at his clever remarks, and the beads around her neck were bright with her energy. The Beast makes it look so easy, he thought with some bitterness. But the Beast lived in deceit and illusions, and Shel wanted none of that.

Due to popular demand, my moniker has been changed. The staightforward name my parents gave me, al, has been ditched in favour of an SD handle. Hope there isn't another out there.
Gina; I prefer milk of magnesia. After 12 pints of lager washed down with fried Mars bar, boy do you need it.
Clas; dano is proud to be a mad 'William Wallace' type Scotsman, but forgot his punctuation.
lp; I am a humanist, apparently. I had better get that pentangle scrubbed off of the cellar wall.
StevieDan: Deacon Blue have split, as have Danny Wilson, but if you liked Danny, their lead singer, Gary Clark, released '10 short songs about love' about 6 years ago. Boy, does he want to BE Donald Fagen! I am a big Travis fan as well. The drummer used to serve in one of my Glasgow haunts. Coldplay's current UK single 'Trouble' is a gem though.

Better late than never...
Jon Herington had a very special
night last Thursday.
Not only did he have the versatile backing by the half-
dozen SD veterans, he also enjoyed playing before a
full house o' friends AND family. Turned out, his sister
and brother-in-law were there too. To confirm previous
posts, it truly was a night of like-minded folks with
the family vibe goin' on.
Geoff and I arrived early to
witness the sound check.
Care was taken to deliver the best possible sound, and
Jon's direction toward that end reaffirmed why DF & WB
selected him. And the fact that Jon included two songs
in the setlist to promote the talents of Carolyn and
Victoria says a lot about him. After the band finished,
every single player, including Cornelius briefly, hung
out to talk with anyone who cared to.
The audience mix was interesting.
Besides the Le Bar Bat
stalwarts, there were a ton of "industry types" and to
many's surprise, a large group of Manhattan's musical
elite showed up. Guitarists, drummers, brassers, etc.,
had come to cheer on the local faves, back from the Y2K
tour. Once Geoff and I had hooked up with Q & Deb, we
watched for more GBers or Digest folks to show. I gotta
say, it was a very cozy place to be. It was great to renew
ties with Pete and Shari, and to meet Cara Mia, Aussie,
YGK, et al. I guess I missed meeting a few folks - with real
names being used, it was tough - but great nonetheless.
(Aus' flask held a treat!) Like other Danfests, it was an
ethereal experience. Won't miss the next one there!
And I'm definitely gonna be in Tampa next time too!
"Dirty Work" WAS a
highlight of the show, but you need to
do yourself a favor and get Jon's solo CD. Every song they
played was catchy and lyrical. "Beautiful Girl" really
caught me off guard. I've got the setlist, and I'll post it
here soon. I also shot a coupla rolls o' film, which I'll
get to Fogel soon after I get the scanning done.
It took me a few days(daze) to
recover from the wild run
from Chicago to NYC, but it was well worth it. Big thanks
to Pete & Shari, Q & Deb, CaraMia, Aussie, Malcomb, and
esp. Geoff. See ya'll again!

I voted absentee on occasion and the deadlines were strictly

or sailor's ballot would be muted. What a shame...

steviedan – If I have made you envious (re: haden/broadbent/watts), then my work here is done! That's one of the perks for volunteering for public radio – free tickets! Anyway I was jealous of those that were at the Herrington blast (just one degree of separation from the Guys themselves...)
I liked MI2 too. Like Altamira, I don't usually appreciate 'pandering,' but even though I knew it was done intentionally, I really appreciated Tom Cruise in that movie! I really liked The Matrix. Great sci-fi/cyber/fantasy. There's some cool stuff on the soundtrack... for example, 'Spybreak' from _Decksandrumsandrockandroll_ by the Propellerheads is pretty neat...
Aussie – Please do! I saw them a few wks ago but I don't have the skills to translate aural goodstuff into verbage. I have been fortunate enough to catch a few great jazz bands, and while I have a great appreciation for jazz while I am listening, I can't seem to put my thoughts into words after the fact. Glad there are others here who can.
qwerty uiop – always glad to be of service in the virtual psychiatric booth. I figure my advice is worth at just about 5 cents (got the idea from Lucy Van Pelt ya know)!

Curious to know from the group (Y.G.K., CaraMia, etc.) with invitations to NYC Steely Dan Apt. Shrine this past Saturday about the rare Germany concert footage film. Sorry I was out of town and couldn't make it..I suspect it was spectacular.
StevieDan and others similarly situated (vicarious livers): Gonna try to extend fantab music streak this week by catching The Charles Mingus Big Band Project...will advise with colour and blow by blow tid-bits.
Everyone: Have a great and SAFE Thanksgiving Day holiday. And don't worry, markets will be open the following Friday, albeit 'til one pm... Rats.

The Beast looked into his mirror, always disbelieving the image no matter how many years passed. Twenty years ago he did not look like this but was attractive, magnetic, brilliant, everything in his world before him. He slipped a black shirt over his head to cover what years of drinking and eating fine meals had added. The hair rose on his back as he recalled long gone days of dancing with singers, entertainers, models, and women whose only value was their beauty. Beauty that shone on him and allowed him the illusion of not being a beast. Beauty that kept him from the ugliness growing like mildew inside him.
He painted and painted in broad, brush strokes over his image, but the mirror was always there. Once in fury he threw a stone at it, but though the glass shattered his beastly image remained. As the years went on he painted harder, danced more, courted beautiful women until he was the envy of weaker men, but when he arrived home the hated image was the first thing he saw. Late into the night he would swear things would be different; if he could only sleep, he would not awaken as a beast, he was sure of it. But sleep did not come, and instead of looking straight into the mirror he just kept painting until the sun rose. Morning, when the paintings were still fresh, the women still beautiful and beckoning, holding out the promise that they would forget, he could forget.

lp & hyp: Yes I'm surely a man. Well at least I was
when I last checked in the bathroom only one hour ago. Maybe some strange
metamorphosis occurs when I sign the GB. Perhaps I turn into a hermaphrodite or
even a enuch which could be mis-leading in a pair of cycling shorts. Is it
possible for a hermaphrodite to inseminate themselves and if so what are the
probablities of mis-carriage?
hyp: The analysis seems pretty good. I was told a couple of days before the
dream that I was to be made redundant but I was also offered a position by the
parent company to work as an international salesman based in Hong Kong. I've
been considering payment of your five cents and was wondering which currency you
would like to be paid in?
I will also include some interest for your service and perhaps payment may
arrive when I finally work out the combination on my wallet.
lp: I am posting from a small town in a region called east midlands. The town is
called Corby and it's in Northamptonshire. It's about twenty miles from princess
Dianas' family home and has the largest proportion of Scots outside their
homeland. It was once the largest steel town in the UK but now it provides cheap
labour for wharehousing and distribution. If Donald thought that suberbia was
awful I would like to see his face after five minutes here. There is no
entertainment at all. The largest past-times are drinking, gambling and watching
dumbed-down television. We also have the honour of having one of the highest
crime rates outside of the metropolitan areas. My old school is under government
scrutiny for being one of the lowest scoring testing stations in the country.
Well I've got to leave and feed all the kangaroos.
Until next time..
((cue)(orcastrated drums playing the dum, dum, da on the counts of one, the and

By the way! I asked if anyone knew some great grooves for playing double bass
drums. I'm trying to play the drum solo from Do it Again from the vh-1
storytellers but without the cowbell it doesn't have the same effect. I'm also
looking for a nickname for when I play I could always use qwerty (What that
isn't you real name?) but I would like to go by my real name of Trebor
Regnomnori I was thinking of Hardware as it matches my surname to some extent
and also refers to parts of the kit. The winning suggestion shall be credited as
creative supervisor if I ever get a record deal. I think that is an appropriate
prize.
