Thank you very much, Barry, Leslie, and Steve O'Hearn. Sorry for replying so late because I got a networking problem. Unfortunately, he didn't take the two-week recovery time and he went to the office last Monday though only for a half working hours. Well, if it will make him happy, it's OK, as long as he can manage his own health. After all, he is going to be retired next July, so he will have much more time at home. Thank you very much for the sympathy. Desianto F. W. =============================== "Leslie O." wrote: Wow, sorry to hear about your dad's troubles. One thing that may be good to know is that when managed well, a person can have a long life with heart problems, even when they have to reduce their workload. My mom has congestive heart failure and she can't work any more, but she is living an otherwise regular life. Once the medication and new lifestyle is adapted, things are stable and people feel better. It's hard getting through the figuring out the doses of medicine and activity level, but if he sticks with a plan and is patient it will be very good! The stubbornness, though, I know what you mean. We can't get my grandpa to take the morphine, and it's a nightmare with the pain, but no one can convince him. He also thinks we are going to slip him some so he eyes everyone with suspicion.

Subject: Re: Matt's Mood Hi all, I haven't checked the music stores in my city. If I have any free time, I plan to go there. It's worth checking anyway, since the music stores that I talk about sometimes come up with some strange or unusual records imported from all over the world. Who knows, they have imported MB and put it on the display, waiting for me.... Desianto F. W. ================================== Paxety Pages wrote: Well, my copy showed up over the weekend, and I have to say I'm very impressed. I had expected a nostalgic look back at WSAYO, but this is quite different - a much more mature album. Basia's singing has improved a great deal over TSI (I thought she had improved a lot for that album). She's much more subtle and handles her vocal smears and the little trills much better. I think I hear Kevin Robinson's influence here. Danny's playing and writing have improved, too. Again, more subtlety. The only thing I found a bit disappointing was Mark Reilly's vocals - not that they are bad, he just doesn't seem to have grown as much musically as Basia and Danny. I like the way his voice blends with Basia's very much, particularly when they are singing as a duet, and the alternating chorused scat singing they do at points works very well. As much as I'd like to hear another Basia solo album, I'd also like to hear more from this group. un abrazo, juan Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!

Subject: Off Topic: I got a Giant Size Mail Storage Hi all, Today, I got a surprise from my e-mail provider. This morning, I checked my e-mail and it was still the same old Yahoo mail with 4.0 MB storage size. I talked to myself, "Well, a few more mails, and I'll delete some of them to get more space". I've done that many times before so it's a regular job for me. However, when I logged in to my account this evening (Indonesian time, of course), I was shocked. I got 100 MB storage for free from Yahoo. At the first time, I couldn't believe my eyes. I read and read and read and read the message again and again and finally, nothing I can do but being happy. It means, I can receive much more about Basia via my address, no more deleting old messages regularly, at least for the longer time, and surely, I'll have thousand's of mails about Basia before I have to delete them to get free space. OK, enough for now. Sorry for talking about nonsenses. Have a nice day! Desianto F. W. Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.

You can also pay $19.99 (USD) a year to upgrade to 2GB of storage with some other extras thrown in too. I don't use that account, if I could I'd transfer most of my storage to you. I just have the account because I have Yahoo Messenger and I had to sign up for the email account when I started using that. I have so many free email accounts floating around out there I literally don't remember them all. Sad that space is being wasted like that, but there's plenty to go around anyway.

O'Donnell" Subject: Re: Off Topic: I got a Giant Size Mail Storage I just noticed it too, after y'all mentioned it. Great, now I can get more stuff in my Bulk folder to delete. Like you, Barry, I have several junk email accounts that I don't use. I have 2 with Yahoo, one for IM and one for Calendar. Long story. . .eventually I hope I can be rid of them.

Subject: German MB bit I'm back. The whole thing was really horrible but my grandpa passed away on Sunday morning. I'm distracting myself with some MB jive. Keeps me sane. BTW, I had Matt's Mood on my desk when I got home and it was way better than I ever thought. Thoughts on it later, in the meantime read this: http://www.diepresse.com/Artikel.aspx?channel=k&ressort=ku&id=424767 Hilarious "translation" below courtesy of Google for those like me who don't sprechen zie Deutch: Easy Listening: The Samba agents OF SAMIR H. KOECK (the press) 02,06,2004 matt Bianco, Cocktail jazz legend of the eighties-years, reformed themselves in the Urbesetzung. They explained their mission to the "press". Still expressed eases: Matt Bianco, reforms.|) Virgin which were for beautiful times, when the unlocked youth learned at the beginning of the eighties to carry short dust coats and thin ties and to visit Cocktail Bars with Connaisseur Attituede! After Punk and new Wave had made for the Hippie Lifestyle from, but no durable alternative volume and artists offered, jumped such as Style Council, Carmel, Sade, Kid Creole & The Coconuts and evenly matt to Bianco into the breach: They spread glamouroese life drafts and elegant scatter with tenderly swingenden Soul -, Latin and jazz Adaptionen. Singers matt Reilly and Keyboarder Danny White each other had learned Blue Rondo A La Turk "to know in the formation". they created 1983 the group designated after a fictitious feeler gauge matt Bianco, to which the 1981 from Poland pushed singer Basia Trzetrzelewska immigrated. Today - a become a little more roundish - the heroine of the matte Bianco Fruehphase tells: "first I had most diverse jobs in London, failed however everywhere. In my emergency I set von Werbespots on singing, pierced me as a singer, before I saw Dannys announcement in the Melody Maker." The acres side of the Novi Singers, Tamla Motown and Steely Dan affected Vokalistin provided ear worms like "Whose you on" and "GET out OF your lazy bed" with tender bloom, which was as enormous likewise sophisticated easy listening. In few days matt Bianco catapulted themselves into the league of the Rising of star, but before they could give only one concert, they were already again separate. Mark: "straight lines as we were to take off so correctly zerstritten themselves we." After 20 years - Mark of Reilly continued to work under the old Signet, Basia and Danny as "Basia" - 2003 the late Reunion took place. White explains: "we had made only one album, had long not plumbed all our possibilities." In a time, in which acoustic music with jazz Flavours pulls again into the hit parades, see Norah Jones and Jamie Cullom, hopes the Trio bending privately to the sense of glad for favour of the large public. Co-operation to the album "Matt's Mood" ran outstanding. For the first time all three composed together. Basia enthusiastisch: "it functioned so smoothly that I had for a long time the feeling, I not enough would exert." Whereupon Reilly jokeful: "we can pay you less, if you you then better fuehlst . . ." On the album participates also a deceased: Baritonsaxofonist Ronnie Ross, from which u. a. the famous solo on Lou Reeds "mill on the wildly side" comes. Danny remembers: "it was the Saxofonlehrer of David Bowie. It was however not proud on it. I went with its sons on the college. When we made the first matte Bianco album, we loaded Ronnie to along-pass on. We were very excited, because did not approach with exception of Gerry Mulligan Baritonsaxofonist to it. Its passion was Straight Ahead jazz, but somehow it might it also have played with us. Briefly before our Reunion reminded I that I had still a few demos of its Soli, around which we then the new Songs,La Luna ', Ronnie's Samba ' and, slip & Sliding ' composed themselves." The result can be able to be heard. Shears itself freely floating harmonies, playful Samba rhythms and a singing, the nothing around the weight of the world. The three are itself united that music is in equal parts the melancholy respond and, Basia, a "dancing, laughter and an easing" to thus cause. Danny White over the new mission of the feeler gauge matt Bianco: for the first time to give "concerts in this occupation and bring further album in, without again 20 years go into the country."
