o10, I'm sorry you feel the need to continue your dispute with frogman. He mentioned being on a very long flight to Asia so perhaps he has not returned home yet? Who knows if he's even had continual internet connections?
I for one hope he does return to these discussions. My understanding is that he is a professional musician. Clearly he knows more about the technical aspects of music than I do, and likely many others here as well. Since I don't have any musical education I can't always understand his comments or explanations, but I often learn something within my limited range of comprehension. And for myself, learning is a major benefit from this post. Sometimes that can be an introduction to artist unknown to me, other times an album that I'm not familiar with by a known musician. Still other times the discussion here explains a context, history, influence, or technical aspect of a given number or album. For that I thank not only frogman but all of you with enough jazz knowledge to fill in some blanks. I enjoy that all and find it personally enriching.
In other news, I'm enjoying a Louie Armstrong marathon on my favored local jazz station today, being the 4th. For those of you who might not be fans and know about this Satch "adopted" the 4th of July, 1900 as his birthday. One more reason to celebrate today!
