Jazz for aficionados

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
  The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
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

Rok, that was a marvelous post except for the last sentence; have you ever seen a pit bull in a dog fight, if there are two of them, one of them will have to get buried. Fortunately we are a long ways apart, so that can't happen, but it will stop when it stops.


Enjoy the music.
