I am prompted to look at the new newsgroups all the time but have ni idea
how a new NG is "instantiated."
I wish to instantiate a new news group.

That idea's worth a baker's dozen of my favorite Mingus cuts.
Tried to stay away from his most famous. Here's what was uploaded:
Duke Ellington's Sound of Love
Ecclusiastics
Girl Of My Dreams
The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife Are Some Jive Ass Slippers
Moanin'
Orange Was the Color of Her Dress
Self Portrait In Three Colors
Sue's Changes
Epitaph - Tribute - Main Score Part 2 and Started Melody (live)
Epitaph - Tribute - Noon Night (live)
Epitaph - Tribute - Peggy's Blue Skylight (live)
Epitaph - Tribute - Please Don't Come Back From The Moon (live)
Epitaph - Tribute - The Soul (live)
Eldon, I've noticed possible problems with timing out on your ftp site
while downloading BIG files (like Sue's Changes and Main Score - both
around 17 minutes). So what I recommend is that when ftp'ing into
your site with just regular ftp, issue the 'hash' command to turn on
hash marks while songs are downloading (or use some ftp utility that
takes care of it automatically). I believe that will keep it from
timing out, but you may want to make sure. Are you able to
successfully download the long songs?

I just uploaded "WS_FTP 7.62 Pro" to the Shoobie Doobie folder. I've never
had a problem uploading or downloading anything with WS_FTP and I have moved
freakin' terrabytes of shit...LOL!
I have always used WS_FTP to do my bidding and not the weeny get it for free
on the internet version. I have been able to get the Pro versions as they've
come out for the last few years and it's really top stuff. Makes
webmastering a breeze and I never even think about it. There is a version 9
out now and I need to update to that at some point. bu the version I
uploaded is dynamite. When you install just tell you are an educational
institution or a student, if it asks.
WS_FTP has never timed out on me while uploading or downloading, only when I
leave it idle. Even then it reconnects in a jiff when I start tranferring
again.
if you have anyproblems istalling let me know and I will put my orginal
self-extracting .rar file up for you.

Aw, hell yeah. I just DL'd that whole 134 Mbs in 5 1/2 minutes, no problems.
Uploading would have taken about 10x's that long but it wouldna been no
thing, yknowhaImthayin.... I will check the setting on my webserver, eh, but
I honestly donna believe'a there is anything'a causing any'a restrictions
ona you speed, eh, or volume of downloads from the ftp.
holy mole' mostaccioli.'
Enjoying mingus now...

I'm uploading one more musical thing today, one more in keeping with
the mood of all things Castaneda.
I drove up to Ojai this afternoon and walked around the art galleries
and shops for awhile. In a music shop I found a good price on a used
copy of a Bill Evans album I had wanted for awhile, so I picked it up.
And here's a picture I took of Ojai Valley:
http://www.grovestreet.com/jsp/onepic.jsp?id=494329
(click again when it loads to get the full-sized original)
The Bill Evans album is called: You Must Believe In Spring. It was
put out in 1981. Evans died in 1980.
It opens with B Minor Waltz (For Ellaine). Ellaine was his common-law
wife, who had recently committed suicide when he wrote the song. They
had been separated for several years...
The fourth song on the album is called: We Will Meet Again (For
Harry). Turns out Harry was Bill's brother, a music professor who
also killed himself a couple of years before this was recorded.
And the last cut on the original album was: Suicide is Painless (the
theme used for M*A*S*H).
I've included the three bonus cuts that came with the CD as well as
all the originals.
So while the album is called You Must Believe In Spring, it seems to
be largely about death... The funny thing is that I had been wanting
to write a song and call it something like: Spring Will Never Come
(in LA it's almost like we don't really even HAVE seasons at all, not
winter or fall either, really...). So when I actually saw this CD on
sale in the shop on sale I had to pick it up.
Here is a list of cuts:
B Minor Waltz (For Ellaine)
You Must Believe In Spring
Gary's Theme
We Will Meet Again (For Harry)
The Peacocks
Sometime Ago
Suicide is Painless (Theme from M*A*S*H)
Bonus 1 - Without A Song.mp3
Bonus 2 - Freddie Freeloader.mp3
Bonus 3 - All Of You.mp3
You know Eldon, I never get tired of that "Piano Jazz" piece you gave
me in that collection you posted. That one's stuck in my heart
forever. Thanks again for it. However, I thought you might want to
know, it's not Bill Evans. Actually, the NAME of that song is "Bill
Evans", and it's from one of the albums in a big SERIES of albums
called "Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz". The song "Bill Evans" was
written by Les McCann, and it is a piano duet performed by McCann and
McPartland.
This is the CD it is from:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000005HKV/ref=m_art_li_9/104-4448248-0341539?v=glance&s=music
Actually, one of the albums in the Piano Jazz series DID feature Bill
Evans (in 1978), but that particular cut is not from it, and indeed,
Evans was long dead when this particular radio program aired (1989).
It was part of a radio program McPartland put together that was played
over National Public Radio for several years (I even remember catching
some of the program once in awhile...). Then several years later a
lot of it was released on CD.
Such a gorgeous piece I had to go track it down.
-Jer
David Worrell?
Any connection with 3-brained Miscavige?
-Harlow
Well, we're both human beings named David, so I can sure see why you'd
suspect a connection and immediately post queries to the appropriate
groups. But ... no.
Btw, you're not related to Arlo Guthrie are you? Your names not only
rhyme but are both nearly contained in the word "Charlotte" as well,
so I've taken the liberty of adjusting the distribution.
Warm regards,
Jer
Cool. I love Ojai. It's kind of a pricey resort town but if you can afford
it, it's a nice resort. Especially if you golf. I used to fo fishing at Lake
Casitas. Caught some pretty nice Bass there. We used to rent a skiff for $14
a day...LOL!
pretty sweet... I don't imagine you could touch one for under $40-50 now

Man, interesting bit of history, Jer. I had not known any of that before.
Always nice to learn more about historic Jazz figures. But actually that is
a pretty dark stretch you desrcibe there.

HAHAHA!
too funny..
Yeah when I was uploading I was just rifleing thrpugh a DVD that has all my
Kazaa and Grokster finds on it. I probably even DL'd it based on that too.
I probably just grabbed it cause it said Bill Evans on it...
Yeah, I think I have more of the McPartland stuff too...
http://www.prex.com/biography/Bill-Evans-discography.html
Here is a pretty comprehensive discography of Bill Evans' recordings, both
live, studio and otherwise.
Truly amazing...
It's like the guy had a microphone up his ass and everytime he even farted
somebody was recording it....lol
> Then several years later a

Right on, I don't have the folder right here with me, I'll go grab it off
the DVD again... to remind myself what the hell you're talking about HAHAHA!
;^)
I am uploading both versions of Flamenco Sketches from the old Mile's
classic Kind of Blue. I am assuming you have probably heard Kind of Blue
over and over through the years. Total classic disc from '59. Most people
have a copy or two lying around. My buddy gave me the copy I had because he
had like 3 different issues of it...LOL!
this one has two versions of Flamenco Sketches. Ver 1 being the original and
ver 2 being the "value added" one put on this 1997 Sony release as a bonus.
It's 9 minutes, 9 mbs. I really enjoy everything on ver 1, especially
around the 4:40 mark, the riffs get real lyrical and as it moves on into
Bill's solo which lasts a couple minutes, it's just a slow mellow sound, a
real gentle, very understated solo.
When I listen to ver 2 I can totally see why they chose ver 1 for the album.
You will too. Miles first note just about blows your eardrums out...LOL and
there are some other less enchanting areas of the tune... it's just not as
interesting or as happening as ver 1. But that might be purely subjective on
my part. the 4:40 mark doesn't have the lyrical sound but Bill's solo is
always worth the price of admission. It's not a great solo though, much
shorter and a little clumbsy at first. He just seems to be experimenting
with what he wants to do with the song, a couple thematic areas, dymnamic
range, rather than playing his definitive take.
On Ver 2 miles is just really mixed too hot...lol Miles dynamic sense is
just way off on this take...lol maybe it's just the mix.
Also putting up some Pat Martino but I will make another post for that
because it deserves it's own space to be experienced in.
cheers,
Eldon.
Oh, BTW!

Something I've been putting up with, and dealing with, for a very long

Yeah, you probably get chills when you hear Ray Charles sing Georgia
on my Mind and think of his struggles as a blind black artist, but ...
you won't realize(like I do) that that music was composed by Hoagy
Carmichael (A gangly looking white pianist) in 1930.
Let's just say that a great many of your other ideas are similarly
superficial in nature...
-Jer
Not if your post your ass again.
Again?
I don't ever remember posting my ass in the first place?
(unless you are speaking metaphorically, of course.)
Sincerely,
Leo
It's still like I said before. If not, then ... do one of those
things on yourself instead of parroting back what I've said here over
the years. What could be the point of that?? See, I actually know
what I've done and what I've said here about it. But ... finding my
"true self"? Ha. What a laugh... And I'm not quite that old.

Why don't you just wait and find out.
It was in the pointing to the moon thread.
Who's hairy ass have you been posting if not yours?
Confess.
Just remember, the guy gets shot and killed right after he says
that... :-)
And since I've commnicated the equivalent of at least 3 or 4 novels
here including most of my life story as you have already made... some
kind of pointless point (?)... that failure at this juncture would be
... yours.
But since you want to "communicate" so bad, let's do that.
The first thing out of your mouth was that 'smack Jeremy' thing. The
second thing was "science-schmience", while talking to a person who
has made no secret of being very into science. And like you've got
anything better.
So, you started baiting me from the moment you opened your mouth.
Then you tried to act like you weren't. So you're also ... deceptive
(and that's being polite about it).
Next you wrote up my semi-on-line-biography and posted that, for no
discernable reason. So what are you talking about ME for?? What's
your big interest in me?
You want to talk? It starts with you saying who you are and what's
really on your mind. I don't like people who play some goddamn game.
I don't like people who remain anonymous either. So stop trying to
make yourself look like "goodie two shoes" to the peanut gallery, and
say what you have to say.

Eldon,
That Chet Atkins-Mark Knofler song is a real gem. :-)

LOL!
some guy on the internet who bared his hairy ass for the world to see...
I just elevated his ass to a cosmic status... (and gave it the wings of a
bird)
LOL!

Absoluckinflutely!
So what is this fetish on donkeys about? We all know donkeys (asses)
are hairy, and surely asses were elevated to cosmic status when the
late JC rode one into Jerusalam.
JC and the girls
All good boys go to heaven! all bad boys go to Pattaya
So what the heck did you do with it? I went to download it from
another location, and ... gone.
About Para Decir Adios...
It ticked me off that it cuts off in the end, so I went and got a
better copy of it. I've uploaded to you a higher quality recording
that doesn't cut off (in the ftp root). All I'd like in return is for
you to find me a decent tranlation of the lyrics. :-)
-Jer
Cracking up....
Now this is really funny.
What a karma to have ones ass
rising to cosmical importance and have no idea about it.
I would like to see the face of the guy discovering this.
You go boy.

By the way have forgotten to ask... did you use real skin for the

I did, but I hear that when you get closer to it, its actually covered with

I appreciate that and apologize for the bad mp3.
I am uploading a nice little plate full of treats for you right now...
I think you'll be quite pleased.
;o)
One of them is a wma file. sorry about that but windows will play it.
Thanks again for the upgrade on the Feliciano tune. I have huge respect for
Jose... he's truly great. If you can find any more Feliciano I'd freak out.
I heard him perform on TV once in 1998-1999. He was touring his latest
album. I didn't catch the name of the song, it was his latest at the time,
but maaaan, it was a real stunner. Beautiful vocal / acoustic guitar piece.
I'd love to figure out what the hell that was.
> All I'd like in return is for

how about "in return" ... I offer Return To Forever... ;^)
viewing lyrics online has become the ultimate marketing, spam, spyware and
adware trap of all time. I guess the victimizers of marketing figured out
people love to flook up the words to songs. So bots began compiling lyrics
archives and using them as subversive adware installation traps. It sucks
how every lyric site is trap nowadays...
So I will have to pass on finding lyrics anymore... only because it's
gotten really bad. You can't even find a site now that isn't an adware and
spyware trap.
Do you remember why they shot him? It was the only thing to do
really. I mean he just wasn't going to co-operate was he? Plug him and put
an end to it. Can't have that kind runnin' around loose. What the hell was
he thinkin'. Good. Now things'll settle down. Get back to normal.

Well since you like people to back up their statements, that's just
what I did. I said you knew virtually nothing about me but that I had the
benefit of reading some of what you have posted here and so could formulate
a bit of an impression from that. Then I backed that up. I have no BIG
interest in you.

Who cares who I am? I had some free time and decided to contribute
something to the discussion. If you don't like my style or my ideas, I'm
sorry. I don't expect to please everybody. Whats on my mind changes
constantly. A goddamn game? Seriously dude, if this is not some sort of act
on your part you should really see about getting some kind of help for that
anger.You don't like people who remain anonymous on usenet? Well you must
not like a whole lotta people. Do you think I look like " goodie two shoes"?
Phfft. Do the rest of the folks that read and post messages here constitute
the peanut gallery?Hmmmm. Bit of a showman at heart are ya'. I say if you
don't like all the anonymous people , and you don't like the association of
this group to Carlos Castaneda and you want to start a new group with Eldon
, then.........GO FOR IT !!! Don't worry I'm sure a lot of the folks from
here will want to come an' check you out and see whats goin' on. Let me
think. What might be a good name for your new group.Hmmm. Gotta be careful
here. Don't wanna stick another big burr in yer saddle now. Let's see. How
about. Mmmm noooo I just don't think I have it right now. Maybe you got
sumthin'?

Coool,
I have a life long friend who is WAY into Leon. He was way into DL'ing
too when he first learned how to get online and use a computer... (which was
only a couple years ago.) He amassed some 1800 files right quick and had to
learn a lot about computers real fast just to keep from losing his archive.
Anyway to make a long story short I talked him into joining us in adding
to our tidy little mp3 archive. He says he's got a lot of classic video too.
So I am axious to see what he shares with us. He's more of a classic rock
type guy than a Jazz buff, but I'm interested what he might cough up. I
think you will be too.
I am going to set him up and walk him through the joys of FTP tonight
probably. Then we'll see what happens
Private little Kazaa-like ftp clubs... sharing a wealth of cool shit...
I like it.
