I have read, and reread this paragraph a number of times.
And still I have no idea what it means, or what you are trying to say here.

Keep trying. The classics are not always easy to grasp at first.

It seems the same could be said about communication skills.

I'll leave said paragraph untranslated, as a puzzle for future generations. Perhaps the world simply isn't ready for the message contained therein.

I can parse it out for you, but if you know the subject matter and such you should be able to 'get it'.

There's only two lil typos in there. I'll go fix them to see if it helps.

This is exactly why I have Cooper on "Ignore." He even rips himself: "anyone who can see the art in "In the Mood" has no vision and has failed to even make their own point." He probably meant "anyone who can NOT see," but it is funnier (and "truer") as is.

Now if only that feature also blocked when a user is quoted... only then would it actually be useful.

I guess that is ONE positive benefit of having Cooper around: Reuben and I publicly agree on something.

No, it isn't remotely why you have me on ignore.

The truly 'funny' thing is how jubilant you are over an insignificant typo. Is it that big a victory for you? Look - it's been fixed. Your "great gettin' up morning" echoes now only with your braying 'laughter'. Hee haw, yahoo.

You can try and deflect the truth if it makes you feel better.

Hollow convictions.

You'll never understand.

Sorry. I'll try not to do it again

This thread has inspired me to try some editing with Audacity - having heard Manu's edit of 'Going to Zone' on Yehoodi, where he managed to extend the track by a good minute and a half... and it wasn't as hard as I'd expected to produce something similar. Not something I plan to do very much, but two minutes was a teensy bit short to my mind.

Now... off to produce the definitive 28.5 second edit of In The Mood.

I have this terrible urge to try and edit the pitch on any Carmen McRae song.

LOL

This thread just won't die, will it?

Removed a chunk of the "noodley" section near the end.

This is one I've done as well, my edit clocks in at 3:20. It's a tricky edit because the tempo varies a lot - after the "guitar noodling" it is much slower so I had to time shrink the last section to make them fit together nicely.

Hey - I have an edit to approve of.

Benny Goodman did an LP in the early to mid 60s with a big band and 2 or 3 of the tunes were never before recorded Fletcher Henderson arrangements..and they are really super! In stereo.

On Capitol - Title may be "Call Me Irresponsible"

THE LAMP IS LOW (Great reading!)

and

THEM THERE EYES. (Also great.)

ON TTEyes, there is long and modern sounding piano solo by Pete Jolly - a good pianist, but it is a long solo and, to my ears, not especially memorable.

I'd slice it if I played it at a dance.

I'd slice it if I dubbed it to another source.
