  1. Philistine. Louis Prima was the bad boy of jazz and pivotal in it's development. He got proper recognition in Ken Burns' Jazz documentary series.
  2. https://youtu.be/O-a8kLtJSJ4
  3. What about taping a 1 ply piece of tissue paper over the flash? Freedom to experiment for free is just another thing I Iike about digital.
  4. I'm so cheap and lazy that if I was going to consider them disposable or near as, I might take the path of least resistance and just drill in 1/8" or so and glue in a swivel, (cheap or otherwise). For distance you might gain a bit by trimming the stone with a tile saw or chop saw or grinder and vise to make it more aerodynamic but be careful, it's all good fun until someone loses an eye. I'm curious about just what it takes to drill into or through stones as I have a drill press and vise in the basement, and like the notion of in-lines as well.
  5. Those are prehistoric artifacts, Gagnacarp, stone age fishing weights.
  6. When I was about 15 I bought this album because I liked the jacket, and accidentally discovered jazz. In Walked Bud and Green Onions are a couple of cuts I like. No linking to these, but worth listening to on youtube.
  7. I remember seeing Buddy Rich on the Ed Sullivan Show when I was a kid, he was a pretty big star.
  8. I think it's because pebbles are non-polluting and they're free.
  9. What a cutie! That over-zealousness is something she should grow out of*, and she'll get the hang of answering the door as well. Labs are really tractable but the attention span of pups dictates the length of training sessions as they grow. *The dogs that are bred for waterfowling and field trial competition are all relatively high strung, and some people kept them in kennels in the belief that they were faster than house pets but we found that an inside dog can have the same edge once they get in the field, and the kennel I worked for preferred to sell to buyers who would keep them as pets as well as hunters or field trialers.
  10. Yellow Lab, right? Not a Golden Retriever... Dogs jumping up on you can be discouraged with a gentle knee in the chest. I trained hunting retrievers in a kennel for a couple of years and while we had almost exclusively Labs we did get the odd Golden. My dog was a black but his mother was a yellow, there were 8 black puppies and 2 yellows in the litter. If both parents have the genes they can have a rainbow litter with chocolates as well. Dogs that haven't moved all day will stir themselves out of the dust to come get a scratch and a pet from me.
  11. I waited... aaahhhhhh.
  12. ..and I'm willing to take your word for it. Talked to a member of one of the other bands and apparently they didn't apply for the artist's visa early enough and the backlog of paperwork kept them out.
  13. It's all about hate and frustration, [emoji49] the younger generation with nowhere to go... get with it man.... I listened to 20 seconds to get the address. [emoji3] Now they aren't coming so it doesn't matter, there will still be x number of bands screaming their hearts out. Apparently there was a "visa problem" so I'm guessing someone wasn't admissable to Canada.
  14. Anybody know a deathmetal band from Hull called Black Tongue? They're one of the opening bands in our bar tonight. We've had metal bands from all over the world, but not too many from England. https://youtu.be/rqYE9kYYtkQ
  15. I'm listening to The Doors, and the guys fishing in this boat are playing it. They're leaving now, and night has fallen.
  16. A Kentish friend in Vancouver has recieved this for his birthday. Don't let the fact that the game pre-dates the common felt marker by several years dampen your enthusiasm... [emoji6]
  17. I'm no good with either but will adopt them out to good homes. I can't even look at a football without jamming my finger. [emoji12] The soccer ball is a Coke FIFA Brazil 2014 souvenier ball. I've found both kinds up there over the years, plus innumerable tennis balls, the odd hackysack, phones, pipes, stolen wallets, packs etc.
  18. Found these up on the roof at work this morning.
  19. Looks like a baby fishing dog.
  20. They didn't even have their nets over the correct side of the boat - needed a carpenter to tell them how to do it.
  21. If there's nice green grass growing in your swim just thread a blade through the loop and tie a double knot and trim the ends, worked for years before I knew what a bait stop was. 2004: Saskcarp: They'll be shy of the grass, won't they? Buzzbomb: They eat grass.
