Some of you may notice I recently changed my permalink structure. Unfortunately, Disqus, the comments manager I depend on, has no means with which to deal with the transition. I will do my best to import your comments back onto the website once such a feature becomes available. Things will remain stable from this point on; keep the comments rolling.

I want to comment just so I am guaranteed to have one here.
PS do you really have a Star Trek replica Shinzon Jackal knife? I am going to Wikipedia/Google image that this instant.

Yes, Shaw, I really do own a copy of Shinzon's knife. It lives on my coffee table, and it's my way of screening guests who visit for the first time. When they sit down I run to the kitchen and offer to bring something out. When I've returned with their drink they're either holding the knife or a fake magazine I had printed called “Best American Magazine Ever On American Bestness.” I spent $40 printing the magazine, but at least it has let me know where I stand with friends, family, and potential lovers these past six years.
Okay, so that last part about the magazine was a lie. In any case, I will take pictures of the knife and use one in a future post.

Hej – I'm Mogens F. Bartholdy, Denmark
I'm a great jazz-and-blues-fan ( 65 years old ) of any good jazz ! – Armstrong, Bechet, Hawkins, Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday/Teddy Wilson, Josh White – and many others ! – When I was 23 I, by chance, tape-recorded some blues-records, and one of the songs was this “She Walks Like a Kangaroo” with Ollie shepard ! – And this is , with no doubt, the very best jazz-blues I ever heard ! – Fantastic singing, saxophon- and piano-playing ! – Can someone tell me who is playing on this marvelous recording ?! – With love Mogens F.B.

Hi Mogens. Det er Finn Runge, også 65, beklager men kender ikke sangen
Mit område er Dixieland jazz og old-style Country. Hvis du var lærling på Valby Maskinfabrik og Jernstøberi 1959-1963 kan jeg blant andet huske det helt lyse hår, kedeldragten og den Lambretta scoter du kørte på. Mit # var 2068, det må ha været 2062 eller 2063. Jeg har nu været machinist og CNC programmer i Californien for 41 år. Hvis du er den jeg tror, lad mig vide hvor, hvordan, hvorfor og hvornår. Hvis ikke, kender du måske den jeg forsøger at kontakte
Beste hilsener Finn

Gosh. I wish that had been in English. Regardless, hi, Finn!

Hi Finn, – yes I'm the one !
Sorry Rahawa, – Finn does't know of the recording with Ollie Shepard – but he asked me if I was on the same training-team as he – some 50 years ago ! – How come that Ollie Shepard's tune is on your blog-site ?!
