Why? Bad processor?

I listen to music, surf PA, watch tennis on several streams. And my messenger is on, for people to bug me.


Which messenger?

Yup. But the album he listened to is less like that, so more jazz.

I agree completely.

Only I like stuff like Devin, Opeth, and Meshuggah---and you don't.


How do you know?  The only thing I've heard from the last one is that nonsense you sent me.  Opeth isn't all that bad.

I do too, but I can't use it anymore because the monitor connection gradually faded on me. I'm still not sure why. Ouch

We're too alike! Shocked

Good thing we don't like the same things, musically. LOL

Well I've only seen Fleck and Wooten playing with Gov't Mule and haven't yet heard an album.  Good stuff though.

I just prefer the jazz of EST though.  Not that I fully dislike Bluegrass and Country (which Fleck dabbles with) but it's not my preference.


Oh, that makes sense. I'd say both bands are definitely jazz, but EST is more strictly jazz whereas Fleck incorporates bluegrass and folk (like you said).

Though one of my Flecktones albums is almost pure jazz, which was surprising. I'll have to hear the rest of both bands whenever I get the chance.

Bluegrass pretty much came from my area though, so I almost feel a natural liking towards it, even if I know nothing about it at the moment.

Ten minutes for the hatch roof to close.
Twenty minutes for the temperature to be sorted.
Ten minutes for the players to come back, warm up a bit, and resume play.
Only one court, with all the other matches suspended.

The roof's not fully practical.

LOL

I never expected you to like them.

Speaking of Harry, I see he's getting picked on by AM in the Meshuggah thread. Confused
