Like your Wyming Brook piccies, Ronart Chapeltown

I have a Fuji W3 stereoscopic (3D) camera and I view the pictures I take on an LG 3D television. Am I the only person in Sheffield interested in 3D photography ? I would like to meet others who share this interest. I am a retired engineer who thinks photography is fun and better when shared with others. Ronart ( Ron Gaines)

Many thanks rubydazzler I'll endeaver to see the picture now you have updated me Keep Smilin, Ronart

What happened to the large oil painting by Rolf Harris which was in the old Sheaf Street baths ( now demolished ) ?

Hi Texas, Hope you got the info I sent about the Victor Feldman CD. In case you did'nt you can find it on http://www.amazon.co.uk. The Artful Dodger is a Concord disc. A bit pricey for me, although always well recorded. Don't see much live jazz lately, the last I saw was Joe Lovano at the Crucible. An important CD a recently unearthed tape of Horace Silver at Newport jazz Festival June 1958, Title " Live at Newport 58 " It has the little recorded but excellent Louis Smith trumpet, a Blue Note CD. You wont be disappointed with it. Also, try Simon Spillett-tenor sax he is a terrific British player a re-incarnation of Tubby Hayes. Try his Sienna Red album recorded last year on the Woodville label. Keep listening to the good noise Ronart.

Listen to your breathing, concentrate on the sound it makes as it passes through your nasal passages, or mouth. Keep your mind on your breathing, In, out, In, out, In ,out I'm nodding off already.

Cheese, I was once given a cheese sandwich on a holiday train from Glasgow to Aberdeen. Huh!

Hi Marie,I wish I could tell you all about Terry Royles, sorry. I too went to see all the big bands at the City Hall, including Eric Delainey. The last time I saw him he was fronting a small group at the Tower Ballroom in Blackpool (circa 1990). So many Big Bands in those days such as Teddy Foster, Ken Mackintosh, Geraldo,etc. I've made a note of the jazz venue you mention. Keep Smilin! Ron

No one has mentioned Cinema queue "entertainers" and, people saving places in the queue. Saving places caused the queue to suddenly swell a few minutes before going in time, most annoying if you were near the end of the queue.

Oscar Peterson, Oscar Peterson, Oscar Peterson he touched more listeners than jazz fans. Jazz musicians who had Oscar in the rhythm section were on wings of joy. Thanks Oscar.

Nigel Womersle, Thanks for interest shown in my message.What I reffered to as "cages" was a series of hand rails which zig-zag the queue in a small room near the top of the many flights of stairs. Usually, we were held there for five to ten minutes before being allowed to proceed into the "Gods." or Gallery. I would estimate that the small room with hand rails had a maximum capacity of thirty people, which on Saturday night was only the start of the queue. At the time, most people called the small room "The Cages" no doubt because the people in it were held there, as in a cage.

dean1, I think the little bikes were called "Corgi"< they became available under that name to the public.

Hi! Buck,I too am a Stan Getz fan but, I preffered his pre Bosa Nova records such as the concert he recoded with JJ Johnson, At the Opera House, and the session he recorded at Storyville, Boston. I saw Cleo Laine several times at the City Hall, I have a slight problem with her voice as she always sounds as those she is singing through a yawn. However, I rate her version of the lovely song, I'll Be Around, from her album, Smilin' Through, with Dudley Moore as the best version of the song I've ever heard. I agree entirely withyour comments about Diana Krall. Try the American singer, Lea Delaria, her albums "Play it Cool" and "Double Standards" are brilliant, I can't think of anyone who she is like but she presses all my buttons and even if you don't like her voice the backing group is excellent with Seamus Blake,tsax, Gil Goldstein, pno,Christian Mc Bride,bass and others. Happy Listening.

Hello Texas, Delighted to read your latest, yes that was the pub alright and as you say we must have rubbed shoulders. I have the LP Cool and Crazy, it is a 10" and also I have the follow up Shorty Rogers and his Giants also 10" LP. Both of these albums have recently appeared on double CD along with some wonderful Woody Herman and Stan Kenton Try Giant Steps Records GIST 009. Or if you can E-mail [email protected] I'll see what I can do, if you get my drift. Keep Smilin and listening to the good noise.

Hi Chrinsy, My G*d,you were a tearaway were'nt you, A 47Norton, I had a Norton 16H Ex-WD model I used to go from Sheffield to Leeds to Remploy on it, it never let me down. Once, I found someone had tampered with it whilst I was in college, so I disabled an old Champion plug by ripping all the innards out of it and put it in hoping this would prevent theft. To my amazement when I tested it ,it started up. It had a tick over that you could count on a calendar. I knew every pot hole on the A61 intimateley as there was no suspension to speak of. I'll look out for a badge.
