In another life, I'd like to play vibes. And with little foundation, somehow think I'd be more suited to that instrument choice than many others. Cuz in another life, I can just say it's so.

Was just thinking the other day about unpleasant bastards other musicians worked for -- Benny Goodman, James Brown...

Doug Schulkind:

@Little Danny
Indeed there was. Saw Getz perform in a smallish but famous club in D.C. in the late '70s/early '80s. Stood front and center stage while soloing, but then remained there, mugging with audience members while his bandmates were soloing. They were clearly miffed, but betrayed nothing while the boss was facing them. It was the rudest thing I ever saw on a bandstand. He deserved a cymbal in the back of the neck.

But there is that story of Benny Goodman refusing to agree with the movie studio to portray the black members of his orchestra as waiters who happen join the orchestra rather than professional musicians.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:17pm

Man I'm so glad to hear that ifny. My normally low tolerance for xmas music has been replace by an absolute disgust with it this year

Heard Joel Grey interview the other night talking about his dad, Mickey Katz, who'd been with Spike Jones also doing his own Yiddish adaptations of Home on the Range and all kinds of things. Perfect maybe for a Danny or Uncle or Drummer to dig into...or maybe been dug already.

Also violin makes me cry. As does accordion.
Avatar 10:34pm

@melinda sorry. I got excited. We're all having an actual winter in Cascadia so I just assumed. It's been below freezing here for a week and it's like climate change is real or something.

@Little Danny and the theremin, in the right hands.

No prob, ifny. Below freezing in Vancouver sounds extreme, it even feels kind of weird here after the warm autumn.

@ifny - the accordion for certain! I used to neutral about it but I love it so much now

My dad used to bring his accordion on camping trips.
Which was fine on isolated private property but didn't go over well at larger campgrounds with other campers.

I mostly like Bob James, even when he's scorned as Jazz Lite. Like Ralph Towner also in the seventies, his taste rises above his genre.
