I have been "out of pocket" when the discussion of losing OKOM on the cab=

usually zydeco. If Dish Direct buys out Dish, is there a possibility of =
losing this channel? I'd rather have the TV than the internet. Can anyo=
ne enlighten me? Thanks,

Song endings are always important. "And That's Jazz" uses a lot of differ=
ent ways to
finish, from an abrupt cold button, 4 or 8 bar tags, even a few triple Ch=
arlestons
that have the dancers really paying attention ;-)
I think , every once in a while, it is OK to have a goofy multiple trick=
ending or
breakdowns with some, or all of the instruments taking a quick break, lea=
ding to a
final "final" ending (I have many records of many bands doing such a thin=
g )
especially if it was a fun song to begin with. Devil Mountain Jazz Band i=
s famous
for doing fun endings.
Again, I am not saying tricks work on every song, or for every band - but=
they can
be a option...
and it usually is best if they are worked out ahead!
