[stands2reason]

SOme of it is so calming.

I don't listen to music to be calmed, I listen to it to be stimulated. I listen to Ravel, Katchaturian, Rachmaninoff, Prokovieff, Villa-Lobos, Liszt, Wagner, Paganini...music to get the blood going!

[SevenofNine]

You know who discover that Millie First Mutt gave birth to future Spot and her silbings President Bush Sr discover it call for Barbara Sr

OHHH MILLIE IS GOOD GIRL

[stands2reason]

I am a fan of ragtime, early jazz, Billie H., Ella F., the Duke, the Count and Bix Biederback from Iowa, etc. Big Band standards are great too.

How 'bout "The Divine" Miss Sarah Vaughn?

[stands2reason]

still playing that albumn a good decade after buying it.

Which one? (I'm a piano girl)

[Calpublican]

No, I just realized we're okay because the signals I get through my fillings just confirmed it. Whew!

[Brad’s Gramma]

You have freepmail

[Calpublican]

You're right. The music was great, but just not entirely fitting. There should have been at least one number of a patriotic nature. We are in a war, after all. Left me vaguely uneasy.

The number dedicated to the president was about drinking and anyone with a former drinking problem probably wouldn't appreciate it.

[SevenofNine]

WHOA Sarah Vaugan fan

COOL hey I am into Jazz

I like Sinatra, Dean Martin, Duke Ellington and others

WARRRRR JAZZ

Cats like the floor imo.

You're rgiht, most do. But not my two spoiled brats. They like *soft* and *cushions*. They both sleep w/ us at night, and take their afternoon nap on the bed.

[oreolady]

Help, anyone still awake out there, am searcing (and can't find) a thread a few days back about Don Rumsfeld bio, I think it was on one of the daily threads that highlight a person, help................

[stands2reason]

"Darned head lice!"

[AGreatPer]

I thought the music was great. Great musicianship, great vocals. But there was an underlying of amonsity (sp?). Is that is good way to put it?

There was something missing. No great great American Song or patriotic song.

How can I say this? There was no "From Sea to Shining Sea".

[AGreatPer]

Bluntly, I think Ray Charles blew it. He had an opportunity to hit a home run. And, I don't know why,

[Howlin]

I can't believe you're STILL over here talking.........LOL.
