    That tune in your head

    I've been listening to a fair amount of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy recently. "Simple Songs" is stuck in my head most of the time: I said those Simple songs about simple things Is what makes my baby swing She's got eyes like an angel. Smiles like a devil Lord you know she’s the real thing So...

    Benny Goodman vs. Glenn Miller

    It's too bad they're not going to be in my area for a while. I saw them on PBS last year -- good stuff, but television music doesn't nearly compare to the live stuff.

    Benny Goodman vs. Glenn Miller

    :( I like that song! Has anybody seen the current Glenn Miller Orchestra? Apparently they no longer have Glenn Miller [huh] but I've heard very good things.

    Windows, Mac, or Linux?

    Windows irritates me a lot, and is noticeably less reliable than the Mac and Linux systems I've used... however, it's the thing I use anyway. Although I've been tempted to switch to a Mac, I don't have the patience with technology to give a go at Linux.

    Unknown(?) crown-styles!!!

    That is a really nice style... I didn't know that existed!

    What's your favorite Pie ?

    Oh, wow. Pie. 1. Key Lime. Fantastic, fantastic stuff. Definitely my favorite. 2. Apple pie. Homemade this stuff is crazy good. 3. Cherry. There are many, many poor pie imitations out in stores. The homemade good stuff can't be beat!

    The crown looks taller than I think the picture depicts. It's about as high as my other 3 fedoras, but looks taller when on my head. Maybe it's the narrower brim?

    Speaking of the Internet...A Revolution?

    I think so. Internet has made the world a lot more impersonal. Instead of having to know people and to go out and find answers, gaining other valuable skills in the process, we Google the problem. Instead of developing close relationships with colleagues in person (after all, much of...

    Champ Fedora

    I've been lurking around on ebay recently and came across this nice hat. Got it for a small $20: It is for sure the nicest hat I have right now. Very very classy in person. The brim is a little shorter than on my others, which is kind of nice. The hat felt is...

    Problem with account

    Normally under such conditions, I would simply PM an admin... but see, that's the problem. I can't. I'm not sure if this is normal or not (if it is, I'll sure feel like a fool), but I can't (a) vote in the polls (b) see user profiles (c) get to the memberlist (d) send private messages...

    Benny Goodman vs. Glenn Miller

    Wow. Very tough choice. I don't think I could choose one. However, I'd have to lean on the side of Miller -- hey, I'm a trombonist. Of course, "Sing, sing, sing" is simply great stuff!

    Good, cool sun hat -- what do you recommend?

    ledsled: I appreciate the offer very, very much. However, I don't feel 100% comfortable giving out my contact information over the internet - nothin' specific against you or anyone, it's just a general policy I adhere to. I'm thinking of a Jaxon Toyo; I have a Jaxon fedora which I am...

    What Can't you Do...

    (I can't dance, dressed well or not) I also, curiously, solo on trombone way better when snazzed up.

    Good, cool sun hat -- what do you recommend?

    Hi. Marching band camp is starting up soon, which will mean several hours a day of marching out in the sun on the parking lot. In the past I've either worn no hat at all (hello, sunburn) or a baseball cap (hello, sunburn, except on face). Since I recently got into fedoras, I've been much more...

    Made me laugh - Kitlers

    I do think "Cats That Look Like Hitler" is a better attempt than the alternative: Dogs That Look Like Chuck

    What you say drives me crazy.

    Grammar is one of those things I tend to be obsessive about. I used to frequently use netspeak (although I never did truly converse in "1337") on the computer all the time. Now, however, I make sure to use punctuation and capitalization. It certainly helps when requesting information from...

    Which book/movie affected you the most?

    I'd venture to say that a few of the 20th century dystopian novels prompted me to do a good deal of thinking... Brave New World -- Aldous Huxley 1984 -- George Orwell Fahrenheit 451 -- Ray Bradbury I am a big fan of Kurt Vonnegut's writing, my favorite book of his probably being...

    Where to start?

    First off: I've been a lurker at the FL for some time, then eventually registered, and now I'm finally posting. It, along with the OTJ Forum (Online Trombone Journal), is the best and most civil, informative forum I've come across. What a relief in a sea of superficial, harsh internet...
