In our village we're jumping because Woodside (Oz resources giant) has pulled out from a massive project that would have polluted the pristine coast forever..............let's bop and boogie dear Count!!!!!

It's Gene, The Dancin' Machine! Miss that ridiculousness in my life.
That aside, Count Basie is fan-tas-tic!

Not too fond of big horn sections but there are some really good musicians here.

Truer words were never spoken.

I used to be friends with a guy who was a very good trumpet player. He frequently played with a local group called Burning Bush, and he suffered from some stage fright. He would drink a couple of mixed drinks before the set and take shots between the 6 or 7 songs he played with them on. By the end of the night, he was so wasted he could hardly stand, but his sound just got more crisp and impressive.

There were several times he could have taken women home, but he was so drunk that he'd not have known what to do with them.


I think there's a fine line. I play with a guy who I think simply drinks too much. His timing is horrible and his voice ain't no great shakes either. And that's before he drinks!

I know exactly what you're talking about. I play bass in a big band, and there have been a few times when it's been a choice between getting THE groove going and getting MY groove going, if you know what I mean.

Love Big Band! The folks would dance in the living room to Goodman et al. One of the fun memories of my benighted childhood. {#Bananapiano}
