Not sure if I have a theme song or a song I can be identified with. You'd have to ask the people who hear me play. I know I have to play at least one Ella song in my set; for the longest time it was "Can't We Be Friends" because it accurately described the state of my love life. I'm starti...

3) Lately I like to alternate between a male vocal and a female vocal. I just realized that most of the vocals I play are female. Anyone have suggestions on male vocalists I should check out? I do the same thing as well. I have to make a concerted effort to play more male vocalists. I have them, bu...

I always assume that no matter what I do, I'm doing something my mother would not approve of.

I used some of the suggestions on this thread last night at one of our Halloween dances and I got a good response.

Thanks all!

I don't have a problem with rockabilly... but I will admit that I haven't listened to enough of it to know what's good and what's bad. I certainly don't mind dancing to it.

Thanks, Nate!

Anyone else hear Matt Jones' version of Summertime by Angelique Kidjo(sp?)? That song blew my mind. He spun it in the blues room Saturday late night I believe.

I have a version by Carmen McCrae on a compilation called Priceless Jazz by Verve I think. That's always been my favorite.

Just wanted to send out a quick thanks and kudos to Nate and Lawrence for the great work they and the folks of Austin did this weekend. I had a blast at the exchange, loved every minute of the music (live and DJ) and especially enjoyed meeting all the DJs and finally putting some of the faces to the...

This whole thread is too hilarious....
