Maybe this delivery system would be less like work. Have a great one Naaman! Cheers!

RIP PDL. Another sad loss too young.

SF Jazz this week was quartet heaven. The Spring Quartet on Wednesday featured Joe Lovano (sax), Leo Genovese (piano), Esperanza Spalding (bass), Jack DeJohnette (drums). They were all excellent, played well together, and were very entertaining. But then Saturday was the Superstar Quartet with David Sanborn (sax), Joey DeFrancesco (B3 organ), Billy Hart (drums), and Bobby Hutcherson (vibes). Whoa. Bobby had the good oxygen running into his cannula that night. At age 73 he had the most energy I have seen in a couple of years easily, and when he did his trademark single note slam toward the end of a song he stared down at the key looking cocky and proud like Ali standing over a fallen opponent. He was amazing. Sanborn was really quite awesome and impressed me again as a great and powerful player. Billy Hart was rock solid also at age 73 and had a great style that varied from pounding to plush brushing. The most enlightening performance was Joey D. I have seen him before and liked but did not love. In this quartet he was awesome laying down bass lines and leads alike. Completely amazing on the B3 and completely in awe of his fellow musicians. The best news of all is that everything we heard will be on a Blue Note record being released in June. I can't wait.

I wonder if I have to worry using iOS 5.1.1. Seems unlikely to target something a couple of years out of date...

That totally sucks. I didn't know about his freakish disease. Harold Ramis practically wrote my teens/twenties, and directed or starred in some of the best ones to: Animal House / Caddyshack / SCTV / Stripes / Ghostbusters / Groundhog Day / etc. RIP Dr. Spengler

Have a great day Dan! Stogies, brews, whiskeys and tunes! Cheers!

Cheers from Mayberry to the Cincinnati crew with an FFF treat from Mike Sr.!

I agree unless that is a much bigger glass (and hand) than it appears. Sorry to hear about late arrivals and cancellations and such, but I hope the hard core has a great time!

Done. Ride on Raffy!

Hope you get to shine on your birthday Tracy! Cheers!

I definitely liked the 18 and compared it head-to-head with PVW 12/15/20/23 and it came in second to the PVW20 in my book. Naaman started it with a comparo of the J18 and PVW20 and he liked the J18 a bit better. Now I cannot recall whether or not I also bought the J21. I had not intention of buying these 25 yo bottles unless somebody claimed one or the other was awesome. I really wish Willett would dredge up a couple more really old ryes like the Iron Fist and Velvet Glove. Those were fun.

That was fuckin' fast, Admin-Man! Thanks. To justify the expansion, has anyone tried either of these elderly whiskeys:

Can we re-name this thread to Whisk(e)y-Case?

Happy birthday from one Al to another! Have a great one. Cheers!

What if you factor in the rattlesnakes?

First listen and only three songs in. I like their sound, which this record has, so that is a good start. Pretty peachy so far.

The original bbc series is great, but as usual they just did twelve episodes and ended it at the end of the story. No drawn out, excessive and extraneous seasons. Stupid bbc.

Sad news. RIP BOB2.

Next time you're drunk see if you remember then.

Have an awesome day of great food, great beverages and great tunes, young fella! Cheers!

Happy birthday Steve! I hadn't noticed your big California birthday was coming up. We're sitting in an airport heading back to SF but hope you are going out to Iron Springs to celebrate a little. See you soon and the root beer is on me!

I'm still trying to figure out why the fuck you think anyone here gives a fuck what you think.
