Re: Jazz fans check this out!

I know I have heard other great big bands from Barcelona. It makes me wonder if Barcelona is the European hub for big band jazz. If so, and if they have an active concert scene I think Barcelona needs to go on my bucket list. I was too lazy to aquire the skills of a jazz musician and really want to ...

Re: Jazz fans check this out!

Thanks for the tip, Deacon. I'll definitely check them out. What a great calling, to introduce young people to the joy of making high quality music. I think the arts are where my post mo spirituality is most awakened.

Another prodigal has returned! We have had a good influx of old time nommies lately.

Re: The Branch is broke that is zero dollars !!!

I vote for greed. With the piles of cash the corporation sits atop they can certainly afford to give more to the budget for social events. For me it shows just how foolish and clueless the gerontocracy is. Why else would they think that "blessings" that seem mostly confined to the hereafter should b...

Re: The Best Kept Secret in History

I have been meaning to join the Divine Assembly for the chance to try their sacrament substance legally. I wish I had checked out their website a couple weeks earlier. Would have made my conference weekend more enlightening and family circumstances were good that weekend.

Your two links for me only opened a short recording saying I needed to pay to hear the episode. Here is another Mormon-themed episode on Spotify.

Re: Has Elder Uchtdorf lost his Mojo?

IIRC, his current assignment is on the Missionary Committee, the corporate marketing arm of the church. At that level you have access to the real numbers and know just how poorly things are going. But unlike being the most functional member of the FP, you no longer have the bully pulpit you need to ...

Re: For those not listening to conference

With my wife gone to help my daughter in another state, I made the choice to let gencon be as irrelevant to me as it is. The weather couldn't have been better for outdoor activities. I fished some on Saturday and took a nice hike on Sunday. To me it seemed that if anything gencon weekend increased t...

Re: Mormon fight songs

Not in the current hymnbook, but in the previous LDS hymnal was this gem of a verse to The Star-Spangled Banner. Bloody conflict seems to have been a staple of 19th century anthems. And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion, A home and a country,...

A couple come to mind right off. I'll probably remember more as the day goes. Behold A Royal Army Up Awake Ye Defenders of Zion (a Charles W. Penrose text set to The Red White and Blue). .

Hi, Malcolm. Thanks for stopping by. I like your avatar, and I do own a copy of that movie. I think that when I first saw it the parallels to the high demand group I was in rang true to me. Please do visit us from time to time.

Re: Stupid coffee making question

I love the smell of the coffee grinder in the grocery store. Perhaps that is due to having evil jeans.
