Jazz for aficionados

Orpheus, I believe my post was intelligible, if not as artful as it might have been had I really cared. If you cannot understand it without amplification I would suggest you re-read my post of 2/28/16. 

BTW, FWIW, you have not  accurately reported how many posts I have been involved in which music was a topic and in which I made recommendations. I suspect this really makes no difference to you. You were only trying to make a point. 

As I said earlier, IMHO this thread is, and always has been more about you than about jazz (or music). Too bad because I suspect you have much of value you could contribute if I were willing to wade through extraneous which unfortunately only serves to obscure what you do have to share.

FYI, I do find the participation of others both informative and of value.  I thank them for that.

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
  The frumious Bandersnatch.

For the "Thread Troll" is among us, and his slithy tongue does gyre and gimble in the wabe. All mimsy were the borogoves, and the mome raths outgrabe.


A troll is a person who sows discord on a thread by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into arguments, and disarray.

The "Troll" who wanders on this thread is easily identifiable. I will choose to regard him as "The Invisible man" henceforth.



Enjoy the music.

Rok, I got news for you, Space Flight Sam Lazar done went down to $43. and change; still too rich for my blood.

As a Miriam Makeba "Connoisseur" (I still can not spell that word) I have been enjoying this new CD so much that I'm just getting around to installing it on the play list. Replacing an old scratchy record with a brand new CD is so rewarding; especially when it's a long sought after record.

Thanks to you, I have expanded my collection significantly, and I hope you have done likewise. If you run across something I might not have, please post it.


Enjoy the music.

Rok, I want you to check this and check it thoroughly; me, Alex, Jazz, and even Frogman posted music that's only different in degrees, and the music I posted is "bland and tasteless". Get back to me on that.

I discovered years ago that there are people with 'special' status on this forum.  They are considered the 'final authority 'in their area of 'expertise', and  any dissent from their pronouncements will not be tolerated.

When these gurus are challenged, their minions get nervous. When the established order is threatened, they will attack anyone in order to support, defend and maintain the status quo.

You have noticed that we, will NEVER be supported in ANY disagreement with The Frogman.  In some cases, The Frogman himself will be more likely to reach an agreement or understanding of our point of view, than will the minions.  They will be more upset with us, than will be The Frogman.   That's just the way it is.

The humorous thing is that, when The Frogman speaks of music in a technical sense, saying things that only a pro would know and understand, all these minions weigh-in as if they always knew and understood what he is saying, and are absolutely astonished that you and I  do not.   hahahaahahaha

My course of action:   Only talk to The Frogman and the other regular contributors.  You can easily tell who the Jazz lovers are.  Ignore the drive-by posters.

The Frogman is, and has been, a vital asset to this thread.  We are lucky to have him.  Feel free to discuss Jazz with him, and ignore the mean spirited interlopers.

Both of you need the cut back on the personal stuff.  Save all the criticism for the music, not the person.

Cheers
