Rok, I'm sure you had a wonderful childhood in Mississippi; I recall visiting relatives in Wynona when I was only 5 years old. There was a sweet and very fragrant aroma about the place in the grasslands that I will never forget, although I don't know what it was. I remember watermelons fresh out of the patch, churning butter, incredible food, and lizards; a snake here and there, but mostly lizards; everywhere I was taken, a lizard seemed to be scampering across the dusty road. There was no electricity, and at night they told ghost stories. Fortunately, I always slept with someone, because I was scared to death after all of those ghost stories; I could see "haints" coming to get me. There was nothing more fun than fishing and swimming in creeks, plus chasing rabbits with dogs. I can very well understand how you had a fantastic childhood in Mississippi. |
Frogman; "In the beginning we had the wrong trumpet players, we had those who were classically trained. We had to tell them not to play exactly what was on the score. They started looking at us-at Gil mostly-like we were crazy. They couldn't improvise their way out of a paper bag, so we had to change trumpet players. Like most other classical players, they play only what you put in front of them". Miles had other disparaging things to see about classical music; he called it "Robot s--t". These are some of the remarks he made when he was putting "Sketches of Spain" together. Those are Miles Davis's remarks, not mine. |
Of course they are yours, O-10. Good as yours, which is why you posted them. Now, I would have preferred, as pryso suggested, to get back to “regular programming”, but if you prefer to cherry pick comments and submit them out of context as proof of something that’s ok I suppose. You simply don’t get it, and worse, don’t seem to want to get it. Suggestion: take a deep breath, somehow try to be a little open minded, go over the last two or so days’ worth of posts on the subject and maybe you might get it this time. Regards. |
@schubert : Rock and Roll was just fine. You cannot over state it's importance to young people. I can't imagine being a teenager without this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2y7bWN2u1s Rock music was a different thing altogether. Angry, political and drug crazed. Cheers |
