Chaps. Seems like our little group has a spammer in its midst. I'll try to keep on top of things by banning such messages but it is a tough job....unless one...
Hi Sean Thanks for the follow-up. But it shouldn't be your job to stop spamming; Yahoo sell their whole set-up on how good their anti-virus/spam/crap system...
I picked up on that last week and put that address on my block senders list. I went to "Options" and then "Block Addresses." I put in the address of the...
Perhaps a bit misleading to call the spammer a 'jazz spammer' as the offending spammer probably has no interest in jazz at all. Chances are that it's a...
This all makes sense Fred (unfortunately) but *surely* Yahoo have some responsibility in this? For what it's worth, this is the third Yahoo-hosted group I've...
Jazz friends, Whenever I post a note to the group, I like to preface it with a special thanks to Sean for managing this group and for hosting that great music...
Greetings to all. We just returned home from French Quarter Festival, 2007. It was remarkable to see large crowds converging on New Orleans for this great...
Thanks for the very full report, Ralph. We envy you! The bit about Internet Radio is really bothersome. Just proves that not all the 'killjoys' are on this...
John, The festival was great fun, as usual. There was quite a contingent from the UK (several were also marching and dancing in the opening parade). Also...
Hi Folks. Thanks for the interesting postings recently. As you are well aware the folks on Capitol Hill, USA, are just putting the finishing touches to another...
Hi Sean Like most other Jazz enthusiasts I fail to understand why the U.S. authorities continue to vilify the music which is about the only art form which...
Apologies for the length of this posting. However, the current royalty increase concerns me, partly because I object to bureaucratic bullying of minority...
That's a great radio station, Fred! Two ears aren't enough - one to listen to Sean's station and one for yours. Then there's "La Radio du Hot-Club de Limoges" ...
You have to remember in which pockets these men reside. Right now and for the duration of this administration, our country has been sold to the highest...
Hi Steve, Glad you liked the show. I confess I've never tried to buy anything via the Live365/Amazon link, but I suspect the problem is that we're minority...
Hi folks If you've never heard of the French group "Jazzticots", and even if you have, then I recommend you to listen to and look at the short video at the ...
Now thats what a clarinetist SHOULD look like. I'm usually stuck with the "other" variety! Hope you are all well and keeping busy? Best wishes, Sean....
You bet!! But as a banjo player you'd get a different view, sitting behind the soloists :-) The little amateur group I play with is also a men-only affair -...
Like they say at the end of the Looney Tune Cartoons - "That's All Folks" Internet radio may very well end on May 15th. That is when the new royalty rates for...
House Resolution 2060, the Internet Radio Equality Act has has been introduced in the United States House of Representatives in order to vacate the recent...
This is excellent news. I would suggest all interested parties should contact Congressman Inslee expressing their support. Unfortunately, however, when I tried...
Quote:- What: The Library of Congress is set to enact a groundbreaking ruling sought by the major recording labels via its industry lobbying arm, the RIAA,...
On Sunday, May 5, my wife, Barbara and I joined Mike Bezin and his fine West End Jazz Band for a train ride to the Blue Lantern Inn on Hudson Lake, near...
Hi Folks - announcement of second visit of New Orleans brass band brought over by John Richardson. Don't miss this one - those that did last year regretted...
I finally got around to posting two more videos from this year's French Quarter Festival in New Orleans. They are both with Duke Heitger's New Orleans...
Sean, Whatever you decide to do, we are all thankful for what you have done. The pressure is on Sound Exchange to negotiate out with the webcasters, but the...
I've been asked to help in tracing certain musicians who were active in the 1950s/early 60s. I wonder if any members of this board would know if any of the...
