Mike, this is something you should like
Mike Constantine 12:44:05 PM
Loving all so far
Rofflestomp 12:45:18 PM
As Mingus once said about most white guys, I feel like I am coming in after the beat when I miss the theme song.
Rofflestomp 12:46:21 PM
Did the stream just stop?
Rofflestomp 12:46:55 PM
Nvr mnd.
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 12:46:57 PM
Hi RS, no, we're swinging.
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 12:47:46 PM
Funny Mingus quote!
Rofflestomp 12:48:18 PM
Good deal, I'll warm up the snaping fingers then. :)
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 12:48:31 PM
This track never fails to excite me
Rofflestomp 12:50:03 PM
You are one of the few who most likely would have caught that Mingus interview. :)
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 12:50:53 PM
Where was that, Roffle? Playboy?
Rofflestomp 12:52:08 PM
OMG I can't sourse, but it was audio visual a long time ago.
Rofflestomp 12:52:52 PM
I imagine it is out there though.
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 12:53:13 PM
Mingus used to get on camera alot and he was interesting!
Rofflestomp 12:55:29 PM
Yeah, he could be a real boss when he was into it. Once he made it, he was brutal.
Serenade to a Cuckoo w/Jerry Gordon (host) 12:59:32 PM
Haha, that's everybody!
Rofflestomp 12:59:58 PM
IKR? LOL
Rofflestomp 1:02:27 PM
