From last year's CJ open J&J:

I've noticed I've been playing lots of songs that feature clarinet lately. Goodman, Shaw, Boilermakers, Edmund Hall, Eddie Shu, Albert Nicholas, Barney Bigard, etc etc. Don't know why or when it started. It's weird as I remember maybe 7-8 years ago distinctly hating clarinet. That's because clarine...

Wingy gets a fair amount of play time in Seattle between Falty and me (and I think Freddie and Matt also play his stuff occasionally). A few of my favorites are "Ochi Chornya", "Big Leg Mama", "Salt Pork, West Virgina", and "Isle of Capri".

Whoa - this is weird cuz I was just going to start a thread about this song. I have been looking for a version that has a little more pep than the Goodman and Henderson versions. While I love the Henderson version I have lately been listening to the version by Joe Haymes & His Orchestra recorded...

So. I have a PC, I run jRiver Media Center (on Devona's recommendation) to preview all my stuff, and I play music out on the floor using drag-and-drop to a Winamp playlist, with the Turtle Beach USB soundcard. I can't answer any of your questions except to say that if what you are doing works for y...

This will probably be the hardest of the bunch to ID. Hell, I wouldn't be able to if I hadn't been the one to play it. I'm going to say it a Muggsy Spainer and PeeWeeRussel tune but as to the exact tittle I have no idea. Muggsy's horn was very recognizable but I had to go through my Spanier folder ...

Virgin VS2100 Boomtube EX

I bought the Virgin VS2100 Boomtube EX (the larger one powered by batteries or AC adapter) last year to teach with. Based on all the user comments I thought they would fit my needs perfectly. When I got them they were even smaller than I thought they'd be. I loved how ultra-portable they were but I ...

I'm guessing the version you're looking for is by Jimmy Dorsey.

For those using EAC, did you download the version with or without CDRDAO? If you use CDRDAO, what exactly does it do? I've read a lot about it but I'm still unsure whether I would have any use for it. I plan on installing EAC over the weekend - I've read most tutorials on it but if anyone has any ti...
