  1. If a single statistician meets another single statistician does she datum or does he data?
  2. Cold Gray Light Of Dawn - Blue Oyster Cult
  3. "My God" - Jethro Tull It's a song about atheism with one of Ian's better flute solos.
  4. Desafinado - Mark Murphy One of my favorite versions of the A.C. Jobim song with the group Viva Brasil on the session.
  5. Bluffoonery - tactic at a poker game.
  6. "What'd I Say" - Ray Charles This was a rock anthem in my older sister's generation.
  7. Skip past that and get to the music - that's what I do ?
  8. We'll Be Together - Mark Murphy The only other jazz vocalist I know that can sing a song as slowly as Shirley Horn and make it work as well. Richie Cole the alto sax player was in top form as well. This entire album IMHO is top-notch. In fact, I saw Mark in Miami, talked to him after the show (he was very approachable) and he turned me on to Shirley Horn.
  9. Shirley Live at the Village Vanguard I believe Miles Davis discovered her playing/singing in a DC jazz club and then promoted her. She never gained great pop commercial success but a very loyal following. I think she deserves much greater recognition.
  10. Japanese Skokiaan - Spike Jones And His City Slickers Every once in a great while I love the silliness of Spike and the band.
  11. While I do enjoy a good thunderstorm every now and then, there is no way I want to live there. Just watching the Catatumbo video made me want to unplug :D
  12. "Violets For Your Furs" - Shirley Horn Thanks Pragi, for jogging my memory. I haven't listened to this great singer/pianist in a long time.
  13. "Nagasaki" - Arty and his Phat Cats by Harry Warren and Mort Dixon in1928
  14. Boss: "How good are you at PowerPoint?" Me: "I Excel at it." Boss: "Was that a Microsoft Office pun?" Me: "Word"
  15. The last time I had fresh batteries, they pinched my butt. I'm buying more tomorrow. ------ My girlfriend is fed up of my constant wordplay jokes. I asked her, "What should I do to stop my addiction?" She said, "Hey, whatever means necessary." "No, no it doesn't," I said.
  16. Pictures at an Exhibition - Modest Mussorgsky (Kurt Masur & Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra) I played this piece in school, I even had a solo in it, and have had a fondness for it ever since. I usually hear the Maurice Ravel orchestration, this one is orchestrated by Sergei Petrovitch Gortchakov so I don't know if I'll like it better, not as well, or equally.
  17. Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd (double word score) ;D
  18. I remember the first time I saw a universal remote control. I thought to myself... "Well this changes everything!"
