Ah, the lights are dimmed, Miles Davis on the stereo, Martini in hand,

[Rabrrrrrr]

I'm relaxed, the kitchen is cleaned, the fish tank is lit, I'm done with work for the day, dinner is over, my face is washed...

Ah, what a great feeling!

Now, where's progmom?

p.s. - it's a Miles Davis live recording from Berlin from way back when, and it's brilliant (naturally)!

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. What, no jazz fans?

The Floyd fans are definitely not posting during the day, but are during the night;

Perhaps the jazz people are the day crew, and don't post at night?

[NNadir]

2. I'm tense, the fish are long dead, I have lots of work to do, I'm hungry

I have a cold and I need a shower and my wife fell asleep dead tired.

I think I'll put on John Abercrombie's "Open Land." That will make me feel better.

[Tom Kitten]

3. I bought Miles' "Sketches of Spain" on cd Saturday...

for what it's worth! I hope to listen to soon it in exactly the same way you are enjoying Miles right now...in a word...relaxing!

4. ...and in walks a guy in a cowboy hat....

what're you going to do?

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. If he's not a real cowboy, I'm a'gonna take a 2x12 to his fucking face

Sorry, MrsGrumpy, but I totally don't get the fake cowboy thing.

Wearing a cowboy hat - okay.

Wearing cowboy boots - okay.

Wearing a cowboy shirt - okay.

Wearing chaps - okay.

Wearing a bola - okay.

In any given circumstance, any one of these is perfectly fine - cyclists certainly do well with cowboy boots and chaps. Western singers should, I suppose, wear a bola and a cowboy shirt.

But, to wear all of them, to PRETEND to be a cowboy, to dress like a cowboy, when one is not, is, IMO, to be insulting and disrespectful of a legitimate people and their lifestyle. No different than wearing a lab coat and stethoscope; or walking around in full hockey gear; or putting on a clerical collar and stole.

9. does this mean I have to throw away my habit....or my french maid

outfit? :shrug: ;)

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. If you're using them for sexual pleasures,

that's just fine.

If you are attempting to present yourself as a nun or a french maid to society in general, then yes, you have to get rid of them, and grow some integrity.

[progmom]

16. stop being a curmudgeon and answer my post....

:hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. Which one?

You have so many posts....

[progmom]

20. i said *stop* being a curmudgeon!

:loveya:

i played a little Mavis Staples on my the show i taped for next saturday. do you love Mavis like i love Mavis?

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. I still don't know what post you're talking about, but that's okay.

I don't know Mavis at all - but judging solely from looks, she looks like she really belts out the tunes with a big voice!

I'll have to check out her music.

[progmom]

23. Mavis Staples is from the Staple Singers

You should check out her latest solo release.

[GOPisEvil]

24. I saw Mavis in March at South by Southwest.

She still has a great voice. Of course, with Mavis, it was 5 minutes of story, the song, a few more minutes of story, then some more song. But, she still sounded great.

[progmom]

26. Part of what I love about Mavis is her stories.

She has told me some fun ones about working with Prince. :)

[Tom Kitten]

7. I'd welcome him and give him a hearty clap on the back...
