WEEZ, I do listen to Rush on the stereo, but I avoid Rosie whenever possible. Maybe I was a bit too harsh on the new jazzers. I do put on RadioioJazz internet station for background music, but it is an endurance contest, how long I can stand the same song/solo over and over.
You've mentioned Maynard before, but I didn't know you were a devotee. Do you have the LP "Trumpet Rhapsody?" It's a great one. Only ever saw the one copy that I bought, nobody seems to ever have heard of it. Want to hear it?
Rob, you are hard core with that opera. I try but not quite ready yet. It'll come.
