Oh wait, I think I’ve got it: A commercial for a liquid that pretends to be beer uses a jingle that pretends to be jazz. Yeah, that’s gotta be it.

Fun fact: In Belgian-Congo, making prisoners drink Stella Artois was more effective than waterboarding!

Very likely.

My Dad used to play the piano like that late at night when everyone else was in bed. He could go on for hours in the same key, never playing anything anyone had ever heard before (or ever would again in many cases because he never wrote anything he composed to score)

That's essentially what Keith Jarrett would do, just go onstage and improvise....beautiful stuff. The Koln Concert is pure heaven.

. What should scare you is that he knew it before you did :o)

[Moltke]

Heh. That’s cheatin’.

We used to have a network admin at a co that I worked for that was kind of goofy. He would come in drunk or surly some mornings and change everyone’s password for no reason, and it would always take an extra couple of hours to get the office up and running those mornings.

One day he changed the admin password in such a state of mind, and didn’t write it down anywhere. The next day he couldn’t remember it, and just ran off home to pout. Later I managed to crack it from what I knew of his personal life, and changed it again.

The next day he quit.

[dfwgator]

I know your password.

Was the password "12345"? That's the kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage.

Wow, a beer and jazz snob.

How is it you haven't gotten on my party invite list.

I like our state song, "I Love You, California." I have four recordings of it on 78 rpm discs, three of which are from 1914. The newest recording of the tune in my collection is the flip side of Harold Grayson & His Trojans' 1930 hit, "Fight On!"

However, there are those who want to replace our state song. If we have to do so, we could use "Golden Gate", although that has more of a Northern California feel. Incidentally, the version of "Golden Gate" that I linked to concludes with a couple bars of "I Love You, California."

I Love You, California

Gee, thanks for that.

[struggle]

Sounds like it was recorded for the commercial. It’s no jazz classic that I know of.

[Revolting cat!]

Barry Manilow composition, Kenny G. performing.

Another state song that I like is Home on the Range, the state song of Kansas. The words were written in Harlan, Kansas, where my grandmother was born in 1888.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Bingo. I can’t stand that swill. Europee.

[Fiji Hill]

You’d undoubtedly like “I Love You, California” if it were performed by some contemporary artist such as Justin Bieber or Snoop Doggie Dogg.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I think it's this guy, but he died in 2008.

[Eva]

I know that song, Home on the Range, I don’t know why, I think that Roy Rogers or Gene Autry must have sung it. Maybe both.
