[ROBERT R. CALDER]

Apologies

I see I have been comprehensively incomprehensible!

Suffering from a crammed day I tried to play the PORGY AND BESS on 
Windows Media Player, and was informed that it was "smooth jazz" and 
valued not at five stars but less than one.  And I tried to joke about 
it, but even at my age I was aghast at the stupid classification.

feeling better after a good snooze

Robert:
Why are you bringing up a musical format which has (in my opinion) 
little to do with most of us signed up for "Dixieland Jazz".
Don't get me wrong, my tastes go from Dixieland, to Swing, to classical, 
etc.  I imagine that others feel the same way.  Frankly, I have Gil 
Evans' "Porgy and Bess" and it's great music.
When it comes to DJML, I'm All In.

It's not that I'm accusing any of the even more senior brethren, but on 
playing the Gil Evans and friend PORGY AND BESS on what I could call 
dimwoes mediocre betrayer I found an alleged description "smooth jazz" 
-- and whatever dowp and dimwit is charged with that libel rated the CD 
at half a star.....


I suspect that persons in less than the robustest health might disable 
the standering facility of Dimwoes Mediocre Player before there's an 
accident.
