Subject: RE: OFF Topic Much better, more compatible, and durable, especially for networking (e.g. server). My brother, who own his own IT company, uses Linux Mandrake 9 and never break down until now. The most interesting is that, it is really compatible with most peripherals you can name them, no conflict, no more agonizing settings, just plug and play (not plug and pray.... :-)...) For the best result, you can discuss with other Linux users. Desianto F. W. P.S. Sorry for doing this; I don't mean to promote a things via this list, but besides promoting Basia in my small environment, I also promote Linux OS.... ========================================== - --- Alan Mann wrote: > > Thanks for the info. > Good to Know Linux is still alive and well > I must re-visit that OS sometime to remind myself > how much better it is than > Microsoft > > Regards > Alan Mann > > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-basia@smoe.org > [mailto:owner-basia@smoe.org]On Behalf Of > Desianto F.

In fact, I need to upgrade the whole computer (motherboard, processor, and some other things) since mine is already a "fossilized" PC (imagine it, P-133 with 48MB mem.). I have a plan to upgrade almost everything, including using newer Linux OS but the money seems so far away from me...:-) Desianto F.

I listend to some samples at Amazon.com. Is this your classic jazz trio? Does she play piano? I'm tempted to buy this just on the basis of her covering Home At Last, a brilliant lesser-know song from Steely Dan. Also, she received a decidedly mediocre review, so you may want to put in your two cents worth at their site Jim P. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2003 22:07:31 EDT From: JPovlock@aol.com Subject: (no subject) My current girlfriend, who sings in a local choral group, was fairly impressed with Basia. I played a few songs from TSI for her, and I'm trying to convince her to sing Yearning while I accompany on guitar. She has no idea how many points that would be worth!

I have yet to find any information about what the "usual" process is for Basia and Danny when it comes to writing songs. "Who" does "what" sort of thing. I am sure that it varies from song to song. Anybody have that info? Thanks!

Subject: Re:Songwriting Welcome, Phil! I'm Desianto F. W. from Indonesia (don't be confused with my e-mail address...:-)). About the process of writing songs, as far as I know, Basia mainly does the words or lyrics with the notes how they will be sung and Danny mainly does the musical arrangements. However, it is possible that they work the words and music together, especially in the early albums. That's from me. The other list member maybe have more accurate info. Czesc, Desianto F. W. BTW, who is Johnny?..... :-) ====================================== - --- PParm16424@aol.com wrote: > > Hi all! > > I'm new to this, so if you have covered it before, I > apologize.

Peter White is a combination of mastery in composition, ultimate musical technician, and consummate entertainer. His work is brilliant, rich and totally musical in all of it's qualities. The musical soul of this artist stretches with every chord and note played, you just have to listen. He by the way is a self-proclaimed non-smooth jazz performer. So...for those that he bores, perhaps they should take the time and pay attention to what is one of the greatest modern day composers around...and not the station that's playing him, or where his albums can be found in the music stores. OK, enough...now I'm off the soap box. Thanks for all the good reading. BTW...I met Danny White last October in London. He's working on his own project (and Peter recorded for it while over there). As the story goes, ....still searching for a label. Best regards to all!
