  • Jazz on Star Trek: I was watching Star Trek last night, and it was the episode where Data is trying to become more human and starts having dreams, etc. He is also listening to music. At one point, Worf complains to Rike…

  • This is just an incredibly cute picture of Diz I felt a need to put on my site! :-)

  • This time, Springtime In The Rockies taped sucessfully! I watched it this morning, and it had a lot more of a plot than I expected (it also had less of Harry James than I expected, but it was still good). Carmen Miranda'…

  • A thought on nicknames . . . Have you ever noticed that there were jazz musicians who had nicknames for their nicknames? Here's a few that come to mind: John Birks Gillespie -> Dizzy -> DizLouis Armstrong -> S…

  • Since Lionel Hampton's birthday was so recently, I have now found inspiration for my next article: Lionel Hampton! :-) Instead of giving a biography of Hamp's life (which you can find at many other sites), I think my ti…

  • ()() Happy Easter!(';') I can't believe it! On the 12th, I forgot to post a birthday message for Lionel Hampton, so here it is now (a little belated): :-D The 12th was Lionel Hampton's birthday! :-D

  • *sigh* The clock on my VCR was a little off (I had been unplugging it and moving it around recently) and the first few minutes (I think) of Springtime in the Rockies got cut off. Fortunately, it's on again later this mon…

  • The BG Cat theme is back up! :-D If you don't already have it, go to the rewiews page and download it! Reminder: Tomorrow Springtime in the Rockies (with Harry James and His Orchestra) is on AMC!

  • Oh boy. This is bad . . . I just logged into my FTP server and EVERYTHING is gone!!!! :-( :-( :-( I'll have to re-upload all sorts of things, such as the BG Cat Desktop theme, etc. I did get BG's pic back up, though. :-)

  • Sorry I didn't post any more updates on the 1st (umm . . . it was an April Fools joke! Yeah, that's it . . . ;-))! I just checked on the Battle of the Bands poll, and Artie Shaw is catching up to Benny Goodman, but Goodm…

  • Thought for the day: Gene Krupa was really short.

  • Wow . . . it's April already (not to mention April Fools Day)! I've been listening to Chick Webb recently and making a nice little case for my copy of Hollywood Hotel. I'd really like to put some music up on the site, bu…
