Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Sharon! Good to see you again!

Bruce Mowbray: Did you folks hear that Dave Brubeck died today?
Wol Euler: oh no
Wol Euler: I hadn't heard.
Bruce Mowbray: Yes.
Qt Core: yes
Bruce Mowbray: He was an icon of my youth.

Bruce Mowbray: It was at Purdue University in Indiana, USA ...

Bruce Mowbray: amazing.

— BELL —

Bruce Mowbray: I also saw Odetta perform there ...
Santoshima Resident: great!
Bruce Mowbray: Here is an excellent link — includes both "Take Five" and "Rondo a la Turk"

Bruce Mowbray: http://todayentertainment.today.com/...ead-at-91?lite

Bruce Mowbray: I can't tell you the rising of energy in me that comes when I listen to this stuff.
Tara Lacrima: :)
Santoshima Resident: oh THAT's Take Five ... love that piece
Bruce Mowbray: and this is an amazing performance of it, san.
Bruce Mowbray: simply amazing.
Santoshima Resident: yes, agreed

Bruce Mowbray: Tomorrow would have been Brubeck's 92nd birthday.
Wol Euler nods.
Catrinamonblue Resident: lovely music
Wol Euler listens and smiles

Bruce Mowbray: Hmmmm. The "reason" Brubeck was at that university was that there was a conference of Methodist youth there ...
Bruce Mowbray: and he was getting into composing jazz worship services.
Bruce Mowbray: and he performed one for us there.
Bruce Mowbray: I was utterly astounded ...
Santoshima Resident: :)
Bruce Mowbray: and went back to my small town in Iowa, with the "message" about jazz in worship!
Bruce Mowbray: HA HA HA!
Tara Lacrima: :D
Bruce Mowbray: needless to say .......
Bruce Mowbray: [enough]
Wol Euler smiles.

Wol Euler: do you know the Church of Coltrane in San Francisco?
Tara Lacrima is thinks it is never enough from you :)

Bruce Mowbray: please say more, Wol.
Santoshima Resident: from the webpage: "I think the majority of musicians are interested in truth, you know—they’ve got to be because a musical thing is a truth. If you play and make a statement, a musical statement, and it’s a valid statement, that’s a truth right there in itself, you know. If you play something phony you know that’s phony. All musicians are striving to get as near perfection as they can get. That’s truth there, you know. So in order to play those kind of things, to play truth, you’ve got to live with as much truth as you possibly can, you know. `St. John Coltrane"

Santoshima Resident: http://www.coltranechurch.org/

Bruce Mowbray: ahhhh! Thank you!
Wol Euler: John Coltrane, he of "A love supreme"
Wol Euler: (I've never been there, I only heard of it because the SF retreatists visited it two years ago)
Bruce Mowbray ponders "clarity" and the authenticity of valid music ... and the Art as Being project.
Wol Euler ponders "invalid music"
Bruce Mowbray: " All musicians are striving to get as near perfection as they can get. That’s truth there, you know. So in order to play those kind of things, to play truth, you’ve got to live with as much truth as you possibly can, you know."
Bruce Mowbray: I feel that Brubeck actually reached that.
Bruce Mowbray: and that he shared it with us.

Korel Laloix: Osiyo
Santoshima Resident: hi Korel :)
Catrinamonblue Resident: HI Korel
Tara Lacrima: Hi Korel
Qt Core: Hi Korel
Wol Euler: hello korel
Korel Laloix: What did I miss?

Bruce Mowbray: I am really surprised by the upsurge of emotion about Brubeck's death — in my typist.
Wol Euler: we're all having feels about the death of Dave Brubeck
Korel Laloix: Brubeck?
Bruce Mowbray: Dave Brubeck — a jazz pianist.

Korel Laloix: Not sure in my culture though ... will look him up when I get home.
Bruce Mowbray ponders, also, the iconic nature of Buddy Holly's music -- Buddy Holly and the Crickets performed in my home town in Iowa only two days before the plane crashed - also 1959.
Korel Laloix: I at least know that name.
Bruce Mowbray: at the Laramar Ballroom, Fort Dodge, Iowa ... December 1959 ... Some of my friends went to see him, but I was not allowed to, because rock and roll was forbidden.
Wol Euler: o.O
Santoshima Resident: oh
Bruce Mowbray: ;-0000
Bruce Mowbray: "The early days!"
Korel Laloix: 1959 ... hmm ... I was –27
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Santoshima Resident: young, kori
Bruce Mowbray: I was 17.
Wol Euler: hehehehhe
Tara Lacrima: hehe Korel

Santoshima Resident: what musis was allowed, bruce?
Korel Laloix: I have seen some fairly horrific concerts ..... but none that were really really memorable in a good way.
Bruce Mowbray: Oh, Bach, Mozart, and that sort of thing — and of course, Lawence WelK and the lovely champagne ladies.
Bruce Mowbray: Lawrence Welk*
Korel Laloix is looking up lawrence welk
Bruce Mowbray: who were nice, I guess ... and are still on the TV over here.
Santoshima Resident: champagne ladies?
Santoshima Resident: they hung around with LW?
Santoshima Resident: or they had their own gig?
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, the (uh) lovely (uh) chanpagne (uh) ladies (uh) --- to quote Lawrence...
Santoshima Resident: oh right :)

— BELL —

Bruce Mowbray: You remember!
Korel Laloix: About the only antique music I like is Pink FLoyd.
Wol Euler laughs.
Wol Euler: oh dear
Tara Lacrima: antique?
Bruce Mowbray: Pink Floyd is already antique????
Wol Euler: I mean, yes, I love PF, I grew up listening to that :)
Korel Laloix: Well, 7os right?
Wol Euler: mmhmm
Tara Lacrima: me too
Wol Euler: "antique"
Korel Laloix: So that is 30 years old.
Santoshima Resident: sorta
Bruce Mowbray: Actually, Pink Floyd is now called Brit Floyd....
Korel Laloix: Sorry ...
Wol Euler nods.
Tara Lacrima: laughs
Korel Laloix retracts the antique word
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: actually you are right, though, they are getting old
Tara Lacrima: :D
Bruce Mowbray: If any of you saw the movie "Zambriski Point," Pink Floyd played the background music for that ... Back in 1970.

Wol Euler: I still listen to a lot of music from that time
Bruce Mowbray: (so, yes, I suppose they could be considered an antique.)
Wol Euler: Roxy Music's "For your pleasure" is 40 this year.
Wol Euler: Brian Eno's first albums are coming up on 40 too
Tara Lacrima: I guess cars that old are considered classic, but I don't think about that much
Tara Lacrima: I prefer classic :)
Korel Laloix looks up some more ...

Korel Laloix: Great name for a cat.
Santoshima Resident: :)
Tara Lacrima: heh. yelling that around at dinner time
Santoshima Resident: most topics roll back to cats eventually
Catrinamonblue Resident: :)
Korel Laloix: Well, they are the center of the universe.
Korel Laloix: Or at least think so'
Wol Euler smiles.

Korel Laloix: Will look up the youtube stuff when I get home.
Korel Laloix: Thanks though.
Korel Laloix: Are we clear enough on clarity to be done with it?

Bruce Mowbray: When I was in undergraduate school - 1963 - I had a cat named Cervetus. I believed that Cervetus THOUGHT the cosmos into existence ... and kept it in existence ... but one day I returned from the college and found that he'd been run over. And the universe still was there ... Or was it?

Catrinamonblue Resident: gtg thanks for all the music, loved it :)

Bruce Mowbray: [look that up in your Funk and Wagnals....]
Wol Euler smiles.
Tara Lacrima: heh
Tara Lacrima: now that is classic too
Bruce Mowbray: That was for those of you who still remember LAUGH IN....
Wol Euler: I do, but not that bit.
Santoshima Resident: vaguely ... mostly goldie hawn

Korel Laloix looks up Laugh IN

— BELL —

Wol Euler laughs and snorts
Santoshima Resident: :))
Wol Euler: Mr. Veeedle.
Santoshima Resident: right

Bruce Mowbray: ahhh! It's Servetus — I misspelled his name.
Bruce Mowbray: (poor cat!)
Bruce Mowbray: and on June 17th, 1552, the sentence of death, namely, "to be burned alive, at a slow fire, till his body he reduced to a cinder, " was passed upon him by the Inquisition.
Korel Laloix: Amazing how effed up people are.
Bruce Mowbray: But he actually escaped from prison ... and they only burned an effigy, apparently.
Santoshima Resident: good
Wol Euler nods.
Bruce Mowbray: Whew! WHAT a relief!
Tara Lacrima: huh, an effigy, how weird
Bruce Mowbray: and to think that all these years I thought my cat had been named after a martyr of the faith.

Bruce Mowbray: alas.... Tis time for me to attend to gustatory matter. . . May all be CLOEAR [ editor note: he meant "Clear", see below ] and happy [ editor note: likely he meant ":)" ]     !

Korel Laloix: Good editing.
Santoshima Resident: i mostly focus on adjusting ellipses
Korel Laloix: cofusing sounds like fun though
Korel Laloix smiles
Wol Euler thinks of cosplay :)
Korel Laloix: cosplay?
Santoshima Resident: "costume play"
Wol Euler: like roleplay games in costume in RL
Wol Euler: people spend huge amounts of time and effort to make costumes
Wol Euler: typically of anime or sci-fi or cartoon or gaming characters
Santoshima Resident: yeah, not dissimilar to what we all do — wear costumes —
Wol Euler smiles.
Korel Laloix: Erin has this complete startreck outfit she wears for haloween.
