    @jon-nyc said in Hey Phibes!: Does he play his dads old stuff?? He has done, but he's quite different in style from John Coltrane. I believe he has played his dad's saxophones, although I'm not sure whether he still does. It would be worth going just to see those. There's a funny story along those lines. Charlie Parker's wife Chan married another alto sax player Phil Woods after Parker died, and she still had Parker's main alto sax, which was a very distinctive custom-made instrument. For one gig, Woods' sax was either out being repaired, or for some reason unavailable, so he decided the only thing he could do was borrow Parker's old horn. He was playing in a small club, and in walked Charles Mingus, who had played with Parker a lot. He took one look at the horn and gave Phil Woods the dirtiest look imaginable.

    I just went to check out a Seiler review, but it took 35 seconds to load because of the ads.

    I wonder how tightly the FOIA law is written. Given that memo, either someone broke it or the law itself is broken.

    @Mik said in The rotten Iranian regime: Brutal repression. It can't last. In Iran, it's lasted about 45 years - so far.

    @Horace said in They're going to hurt people.: One time the lighting and seat heights were all wrong for a Fischer/Spassky match. But Fischer called it off, and nobody was injured. I was only a low-rated amateur but I once suffered a groin strain in between games.

    The only height that matters to me, is the height of virtue to which my very soul soars, as I fight for justice and equity.

    I’ve noticed Luke runs his all the time. Last time I was driving him back from CNU I made him drive and turned off the app. As we were getting closer to home I started hearing “Oh, that’s where that is?” And the like.

    @Jolly said in Today's Med Mal Case - Suicide: It was never meant to go to trial, just to get a settlement. Common among malpractice claims. I've been sued about half a dozen times. In each case, but one, I was dropped from the suit. In the case that DID go to trial, I was found not liable. My involvement was quite peripheral in that one. I never settled.
