Very Happy Birthday Ken! Hope it's a great one!

I couldn't find anywhere specific to brag about my awesome girlfriend who played Santa this year. I received a big kiss and a littman stethoscope. It was the best present ever and extremely thoughtful. I feel guilty accepting it as i know it cost her a small fortune and I'm not sure I'm worthy of such a nice instrument. Anyhow, I've been playing with it all evening and it is so much fun. What did Santa bring you this year (if you already know)?

Kind of late in the day, but hope it was/is a great day!

Have one great day each! Cheers

This whole Connecticut shooting today really has my hackles up. I can't help but think that if the victims, or in this case the teachers, were armed that there would be fewer casualties when a person snaps and goes on a rampage somewhere. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/12/14/police-respond-to-shooting-at-connecticut-elementary-school/ What in the world would drive someone to shoot and kill 20 innocent elementary school children !?!??!?!

NEW DELHI (AP) — Ravi Shankar, the sitar virtuoso who became a hippie musical icon of the 1960s after hobnobbing with the Beatles and who introduced traditional Indian ragas to Western audiences over a 10-decade career, died Tuesday. He was 92. A statement on the musician's website said he died in San Diego, near his Southern California home. The musician's foundation issued a statement saying that he had suffered upper respiratory and heart problems and had undergone heart-valve replacement surgery last week. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh also confirmed his death and called Shankar a "national treasure." Labeled "the godfather of world music" by George Ha…

On the way to the Philippines on 12/14 I will be in O'Hare from around 8am until my flight at 2pm. I don't plan on waiting the full 6 hours in the airport.....any suggestions on places I can go nearby to pass the time by? As long as it's within reasonable distance via public transportation or cab, I'm game for it. Thanks!

Have a great one Todd! Cheers!

Dave is often my first suggestion for people looking to get into Jazz or experiment with timing. He was productive until the very end of his life, releasing live albums last year at the age of 90. He will be missed. http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/chi-dave-brubeck-dead-20121205,0,7126256.column

Happy Birthday to one of my original Headphone friends. If you are thinking of giving me anything for your birthday, I would settle for that Krell HP Amp. Thanks.

We miss you around these parts, Gene, but we all still love you (me especially, as you know). I've been cooking up a little something for your big day... Have a great one buddy! Cheers!

Happy Birthday Haj! Hope it's a great one!

Introduced in 1982, the Buick Regal Grand National began life as a special edition honoring Buick’s back-to-back titles in NASCAR’s Grand National series. However, delivering just 125 horsepower, these race-inspired models left a lot to be desired. Just two years later, the car received an engine transplant that would eventually see it become one of the fastest models money could buy. Now, it looks like the Grand National is set to return, though this time it won’t be based on the Regal, and it won’t be a coupe. Citing an inside source, Edmunds is reporting that Buick is looking to launch a new Grand National sedan as well as new versions of the T-Type and GNX varia…

Happy Birthday Lil Bro. Enjoy it! See you Sunday to say it in person.

Hi, I'm Justin, and I'm going to be frank with you all. I'm here for something different. Over the past few years I've drifted from my friends as a result of changing work, lately I have very few people I can relate with. Music is the second most important thing in my life and yet I can rarely talk about it with good people. Perhaps I'm in the wrong place, maybe I'm not. I'm not here to beg for advise, I just want people I can talk to, and most importantly relate to. I've lurked for years, and know how things work around here. I hope that with time, I can get to know all of you. I apologize in advance for this rampant show of sincerity, I guess I might be a little d…

Happy Birthday to the Lord of the Beers! Cheers!!!
