[14] Dude, where I lived my best friend and I thought we had jail cells with our names on them the minute we became grown-ups. There was a lot for our minds to escape from in school. I had a great home life to make up for whatever school lacked, that's for sure. As a little treat, I threw up a little post about those Nike Christmas commercials with the Kobe/LeBron puppets. Love em or hate em, I wish I had came up with these spots first... ( This is not an endorsement of any product, btw >;)

[13] Chyll, that is a fantastic image (the petrified trees). Can’t imagine why when we were kids they would think your imagination was something in need of monitoring.

[12] thelarmis, I got the 50th anniversary “Kind of Blue” 3-cd set + the single album of “Tribute to Jack Johnson”, which I already have..but the KoB set looks great, with a DVD included as well! A nice haul in the Xmas stocking.

I love that picture. When I was a child I was fascinated by trees with lights that covered them like that; I used to painted several pictures that I kept on my wall until I was grown. When I made them, I explained that they used to be fire trees hundreds of years before, but the trees petrified and the fires were internalized and the blossoms sparkled as a result.

In retrospect, it may have been just another reason why I was sent to see a social worker for the rest of my public school life. At least I avoided the whole Ritalin Experience thing…

[11] nice, dude. i don’t have the complete JJ sessions, but have seen it – it’s hella cool. the amazing lick in there, was turned into an unbelievable song by one of the greatest bands in the history of the universe – “Smile And A Wave” by Screaming Headless Torsos” – NYC mid 90′s.

rock on!

[9] I never knew that was the origin of the title “Newk’s Time”! Very cool!

Packing up now, I think my lady got me Miles’ “The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions” as my present, can’t wait to hear it. Peace out!

[8] dude, Newk’s Time, is one of my favorites!!! also, one of the first Blue Note cd’s i ever got, way back in college. and, it’s baseball related!!! in case, anyone else is reading our jibberish – i know Shaun P. likes to – even though he’s not a jazzer – but i believe he’s away for the holidays…”Newk’s Time” is titled that, ‘coz Sonny Rollins bore a resemblance to Don Newcombe, hence the title.

Kenny Dorham’s “Aesiatic Raes” is on that record. it’s been recorded on other records, under different titles.

don’t be upset, but i was just listening to Tori Amos. her sophomore cd, Under The Pink. i can’t believe it’s 15 years old already! she was pretty great back in the day. believe it or not, she had George Porter, Jr. on bass – from The Meters…who pretty much rule!

Cheers on the Guinness – i just poured my 3rd Sierra! : )

Sonny Rollins “Newk’s Time” on right now, it’s awesome of course.

[4] Oh no..the Knics actually ARE on tv for Christmas Day! Never would have imagined that…

Havn’t been to MSG in years but I wonder..is it still the “Mecca of Hoops”? Exactly why is it called that..35+ years withough a championship..Big East tournament isn’t really a substitute for good NBA action…oh well…

Really cool to read this about J. Bender, now with the Knicks. I hope his comeback continues to go well! Maybe in 2029 the Knicks will once again be worthy of a Christmas Day televised game…
