Oh, I don't find the computer mindset so strange, after all we are all sitting here behind a keyboard. However only 0.1% of the population are serious photographers, and it seems like about 1/2 of that 0.1% are into Jazz. That has to be more than a coincidence. Through jazz you see things...

Frank, There is usually one laying about at GFMtn. If not, you could always pop it into the sound system of my car. Pretty good sound, considering it is in a car and is stock... I enjoy jazz myself, along with a multitude of other types of music. Though I must admit to being terrible in

This ~might~ be my favorite jazz album. While I have a recent CD, I also have the original vinyl ;-)) I Love It! If you're not familiar with it, may I strongly suggest you become so. John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman ... check out the musicians ;-))

There are just not enough people out there supporting jazz musicians and many of the really top-notch ones have to work day jobs. I remember glancing up at the cab driver ID in Atlanta and telling the driver (who asked that I not tell anyone what he was doing) that I had several of his recordings.
