At first those Kenny G posts were kind of funny, kicking everyone's
balls here, but now it's becoming sort of annoying, just sort of.

You seem to only post the opinions of others. I you have one of your
own, I would love to hear it as it pertains to G.

Are you aware your posts shows that you ar unsure of your own opinion

My apologies to you, Mr Hendrik. You're obviously a man who
appreciates a good comeuppance.

Dear Mr. Slot,

That's great that Kenny is going to the Dominican Republic. I hope
it's an extended tour for 2 or 3 years. I wish him all the best and
I'm pleased for him, that he is a commercial success, but your posts
are really obnoxious and I would love to not hear from you for 2 or 3
years, or better 20 to 30.

Cordially,

Tony K

Q. What's the difference between Kenny G and a dead skunk lying in the
road?

A. There are skid marks in front of the skunk.

A man walks into a bar out west and orders a drink. There's some mushy
soprano sax playing on the juke. He's feeling feisty. He shouts out "Kenny G
is a horse's ass!" A couple of the regulars get up, grab him by the collar
and the seat of the pants, and throw him out the door.

Undaunted, he dusts himself off and saunters back in. Has another. On the
juke the sop sax is playing a boring pentatonic run over and over. He turns
around and repeats, "Kenny G is a horse's ass!" This time three of the
regulars pick him up, smack him around and throw him out.

He picks himself up again and staggers back into the bar. Has a double. On
the juke the sop is holding a single note for 64 bars. He stands up and
turns around. He shouts, "I said that Kenny G is a horse's ass!" This time
five guys set upon him and beat the shit out of him before throwing him out
on his ear.

The beating has sobered him up. He looks up and says, "Hey fellas, sorry, I
didn't realize that this was Kenny G country..."

Comes the reply, "It ain't. It's hoss country."

I realize this is kind of off topic, but I want to point out that Dominica
and the Dominican Republic are two different places.

Yes--of course. So where is the KG banana republic situated?

Well, I don't know the answer to your question. But, I can tell you that I
have visited Dominica and found it to be a beautiful place--rain forest, hot
and cold waterfalls--and, as far as I could tell, completely G-free.

I'm emigrating. Where's my passport?

presumably, in a suitcase full of CDs that he doesn't play on.

OTOH, most of what we know about the physiology of the voice is due to
the work of one French anatomist of the 19th C, whose name escaped me
long ago. He postulated that the human voice changes pitches by changing
the length of the esophagus. This is such complete crap that an entire
generation of real researchers leapt into the field, and learned most of
what we currently know about the human voice.

Perhaps the goad of the annoying Mr. Gorelick will cause decent jazz
players of all schools to become ever more evangelical about good music,
to the point that there is an actual renaissance of jazz in the public's
attention.

Other thought: perhaps Slot will come to discover the skills of even
better jazz artists, like Fergie.

Interestingly, Jeff Martin (slot/someone) didn't use to be a cross-posting
troll. I wonder why he gets so much joy from it these days.

Also, he apparently posts on the Star Wars newsgroup under a different
address than the one he uses here:

Where did you get Jeff Martin? My understanding is that someone tracked him
down as a Japanese moron, and I further thought that someone had actually
found his picture at his employing company's website. Something like that.
