You know why. :)

[progmom]

any movement on that front yet?

i'm very excited for you.

[GOPisEvil]

14. Yeah, I think things will be official Monday.

Well...actually I know they will be official. :)

I'm a little worried about the future, but I think this is the right move. I've been so unhappy professionally for so long.

[progmom]

48. i am having the hardest time coming up with a song for you

:(

[Misunderestimator]

5. Yay! I love this rendition of Ipanema....

Who is that?

[billyskank]

6. Sounds like Astrud Gilberto to me

:shrug:

I'm sure it's her husband Joao on guitar.

[Misunderestimator]

12. Good call! :)

[billyskank]

13. This just in: billyskank DOESN'T make an arse of himself!

:bounce:

[progmom]

:loveya:

[progmom]

:D

[billyskank]

10. ...

;)

[bettyellen]

46. wow, david! i'm so happy for you.

even though i don't know the details, i know what it's been like. and a mind is a terrible thing to waste, um from monday through fridays during 9-5.
good for you! :bounce:

[GOPisEvil]

47. I'll tell ya about it in a PM.

I might lose my hijacking card, but that's ok. :)

[progmom]

16. speaking of tenor solos i love....

i am totally smitten with this sonny rollins solo. :D

[progmom]

17. and this max roach drum solo is one of the most lyrical drum solos i know

:bounce:

[Misunderestimator]

21. Everytime I read "tenor solo"

I have to remember that you're referring to a tenor sax, and not an opera singer. :D

[progmom]

25. hahahaha - and now i am imagining Pavarotti singing "How High the Moon"

:rofl:

[Misunderestimator]

26. Oh god... do NOT do that!

It would not be pretty. At... all... :crazy:

[progmom]

31. just thinking about it is hurting my head

all that vibrato.... :scared:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

20. Anything by "The JazzMasters"?

[progmom]

27. as in Paul Hardcastle?

Sadly, he's a little more contemporary/smooth than we play on this station. Sorry!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

28. Awwww. OK. You play more of the "oldschool" stuff. Oh well.

[progmom]

32. sorry.

:(

[Misunderestimator]

22. They're going to preempt you for FOOTBALL?!?

:eyes:

[progmom]

23. hahahahahaha

just 15 minutes. and the station gets mad money for broadcasting those god awful games. :shrug:

[billyskank]

24. ...

:nuke:

[billyskank]

30. I lost the stream!!!!!!!

:cry:

[Misunderestimator]

33. Me too!

:cry:

[progmom]

35. oh noooooooo

:o

[Misunderestimator]

36. I just got it back through RealPlayer instead of Media Player.

Whew.

[progmom]

39. oh good...i was about to call our engineer

:D

[Misunderestimator]

43. You might still want to.... I'm not going to try it now...

because then I would risk missing another moment of your show... but the Media Player stream did crap out. :shrug:

[billyskank]

44. I was listening to the mp3 stream

What I don't understand is...I still am. I just changed my player from xmms to RealPlayer. I have no idea why it should make a difference.

[Misunderestimator]

45. Very strange... it shouldn't make a difference.

[progmom]

51. i'm going to leave him be

he's not keen on being called on the weekend. and i am just cranky enough (though the coffee did help!) to think it's best to avoid all potentially confrontational situations. :)

[Misunderestimator]

55. Good call. After all, my stream is fixed...

and that's all that matters. :*

[billyskank]

61. I've had to drop down to the 56K stream

it keeps fucking up. But that's not special, it's often done this in the past. I guess the distance might be a bit too much to ask. :(

[progmom]

63. exactly

;)

[billyskank]

38. Don't you have like an army of engineers

in a glass case on the wall; "break glass in case of emergency." Break the glass!!!

:cry:

[progmom]

40. hahahaha

no - we have one REALLY cranky one :D

[Misunderestimator]

37. Switch to a different player... worked for me.

Using Realplayer now.

[billyskank]

42. Realplayer works for me too

:wtf:

phew

[GOPisEvil]

41. I lost it too!!! But I'm back using iTunes.

:)

[bettyellen]

49. have time to slip in some dakota for me? :*

and i think betty carters "good life" for David migh be apropos.
:hug:

[progmom]

50. ooooh - good ones!

yes, on both counts. :D

[Misunderestimator]

52. Good Life... Good Choice!

:hi: :pals:

[bettyellen]

57. thank you! me and jess bonded over our mutual admiration for betty carter

so it's not entirely for david, although i think he'll like it.
how are you healing girl? ah, i got a call from stella noir!

[Misunderestimator]

59. I love Betty Carter!

And the arm... it's itching like hell, but is healing nicely.

[bettyellen]

80. i have seen her so many times over the years....

she caught me raving about to a friend her once, i didn't realize she was in the row ahead of me.
she turned around and gave me the biggest smile i've ever seen.

[Misunderestimator]

90. Oh wow... that's great! She's as generous a person as she seems.

[progmom]

92. i had some really great experiences with her

and one really swful one when i was emceeing a workshop she did. i will tell you the story sometime. :scared:

[progmom]

70. that's right - i forgot that!

and this is from my very favorite betty album...


i should find the pics i took of her and post them sometime.

[bettyellen]

91. i remember staying up very late listening to

that albumn when they played the whole thing on Jazzzbo at the Grotto. i bought it the next day.

[bettyellen]

53. who is this with now? i'm liking this alot.

i'm going to put in all the cd's you made and play them all today while i do chores.

[progmom]

54. it's Charlie Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra

I really like this disc. And not just because it's supposed to be a protest against the Bush administration. :)

[Telly Savalas]

56. Could you play something from "Workin' with the Miles Davis Quintet"?

or anything appropriate for somebody madly emailing his resume to anyone who might hire

Cheers!

[progmom]

67. sounds great!

and good luck! :hi:

[Telly Savalas]

73. Zzzzank you!

[progmom]

78. your song is next!

and it's It Never Entered My Mind. :)

[Telly Savalas]

81. Merci!

I'd sing along, but I don't know the words.

[GOPisEvil]

58. Lots of trouble with the feed today!

Dammit! I was looking forward to listening to EMU kick the crap out of Kent St.! x(

[GOPisEvil]

65. Got the feed working - just in time.

:) At least I didn't miss the whole song.

[Mutley]

60. Does it drive you nuts

having to read the news about W without screaming? I don't think I could do it.

[billyskank]

62. The news is read by Lakshmi Singh

:)

[Mutley]

66. Some of that sounded like Progmom's voice!

ah well. :cry: And here I thought I knew what progmom sounded like.

[progmom]

68. hmmmm...i have been told i have a NPR-ish voice

but i stammer a whole lot more. ;)

[Misunderestimator]

71. You don't stammer silly...

And you do sound a lot like Singh. Very... very... sexy. :)

[progmom]

84. i do sometimes

but thanks. :blush:

[Misunderestimator]

86. Everybody does sometimes....

You sound cute when you do. :D

[Mutley]

75. You do!

Maybe you should apply. I hear people stammer on NPR. :D How cool would that be to listen to you on NPR?!?

[progmom]

64. this one is for you, David

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

69. Thanks, hun!

Got the stream working again, but missed the beginning. :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

72. I'm having stream trouble again.

I seem to have good luck hearing songs meant for me though, so it's all good. :)

[progmom]

76. at least you heard your song!!

:D

[Misunderestimator]

77. What's this piano piece playing now?

I want it.

[progmom]

79. it is brad mehldau playing Martha My Dear

I have an extra - it's yours. :)


...and this is the record i'll be quoted on in that new yorker ad. :)

[Misunderestimator]

85. Yay! Thank you.

:hug:

[Misunderestimator]

83. Oh never mind.... you answered :)

and I was wrong

[progmom]

87. sarah vaughan does my favorite version of this

but Miles and Trane here are pretty wonderful too.

lorenz hart could write the most heart-wrenching lyrics. :(

[Misunderestimator]

88. Funny thing is that I was just playing this a week ago...

and I couldn't remember which book it was in... I love hearing these different versions.

[progmom]

98. "...and order orange juice for one"

"...and now i even have to scratch my back myself"

those lyrics make my heart hurt.

[Misunderestimator]

102. Now I have to put my splint back on so I can go play that.

:cry:

[billyskank]

89. Wooo hoo!

:bounce:

[Celeborn Skywalker]

93. "Freddie Freeloader" by Miles Davis.

I've always liked that song.

[progmom]

96. me too

but the show is over....sorry!

[Celeborn Skywalker]

97. That's alright

Maybe next week!

[progmom]

99. sounds perfect!

i would love to play that for you.

[billyskank]

94. progmom, you know how you were talking about tenor sax solos?

I think that tenor solo in Moanin' is one of the most amazing solos I have ever heard. :bounce:

[progmom]

95. benny golson is one of my all time heroes

and i have told him that many times. :)

he is a really amazingly nice man. and what a composer, eh? if you have never heard him live, you should try to while you can. he still sounds as fabulous as ever.

[billyskank]

100. I didn't know the name, so thankyou for that

And thankyou for playing my request. :hug:

[progmom]

101. it's about time, eh?

:bounce:

[billyskank]

103. progmom, I have thought of a strapline for your show

"Because even doing the ironing doesn't suck when you're listening to progmom."

Obviously you can change the name if you think it would be more appropriate... ;)
