I've heard some of him that I like, and I've heard some that I don't. His recording seems iffy....I mean the sound sometimes is too crisp and annoys me for whatever reason. But no question he's a talented guitar player.

True, very true. On an album I have, Blakey is introducing the new group and says something along the lines of "When these guys get too old, I'm gonna get me some new ones." Speaking of albums, how many of you still have actual 33 1/3? For years my entire collection was on vinyl, but my player...

I recently procured some Kajun Kake, and while I really enjoy it, it really kicks my butt with the amount of nicotine it contains. I have to set the pipe down 1/2 way thru and come back to it later. Is this common with most Va/per blends? Any recommendations on a blend that maybe isn't so full...

Well, obviously you like Burrell..from your avatar. Midnight Blue is a classic, have you listened to Guitar Forms? Its big in my rotation right now. And I love Art Blakey.....one of the most energetic drummers in jazz. Jazz Messengers are such a classic group!

No you are right, it's martino, and I meant Martino above. confused the two. Not a fan of Metheny either, but Martino was who I meant.

Pat Martino comes and goes for me. His recent albumn of Wes Montgomery covers was very good, and some of his early stuff is great also. But for the most part, his continuous 1/8" note playing just bores me. What I do find VERY interesting about Pat, is the fact that he basically lost all his...

I finished "To Say Nothing of the Dog" but haven't bothered with anything else. Too bad, and hard to think that someone who has written such a good book as Doomsday had nothing else worthwhile. A one hit wonder I guess. Anyone else care to recommend other "unknown" books? Reading this thread...

Is this because the Dremel has a very high RPM?

Please let me/us know how this works. I had the same idea a few days ago; just not your gumption to get off my butt and try it. Seems like it should work however.

I've read just about everything recommended here. My hand-down favorite author is Larry Niven however. I've read just about everything by this master and am catching up on his recent work which is a sort of Ringworld prequel. Good stuff. I know he's considered "hard" sci-fi, but I don't think...

So...any Jazz lovers out there? Currently digging on some Kenny Burrell......

If that seems expensive, keep in mind the seller is a popular Ebay pipe seller, so he has lots of lookers which can help drive up the prices of his items. I keep an eye on his stuff, but don't really expect to find a reasonably priced pipe from him due to that.

Damn...I need some new friends. Very, very nice.

I don't think it proves that we are willing to pay more for tobacco. It proves that we will pay more for something that's scarce.....just like anything else.

I don't like the flavor that a zippo gives my pipe....I don't think a can of (cheap) tuna will be any better....
