Lost in Translation

Sunset last night was pretty spectacular, but I just couldn't get it right. The picture doesn't tell the story. And the fence was not even a factor in what I gazed at. But it is in the image.

Lost in Translation. Like the sunset. Saw the movie tonight with friends and it did not disappoint. So nice to experience a movie with space. Space to think about what the characters were thinking about.

Boys in the Gym. A big gym with lots of action. But space for two boys to be boys.

The Bob Gibb Memorial Weblog

Bob GibbThe Bob Gibb Memorial Weblog documents some of the artifacts compiled during the process of putting together a 2 hour memorial radio broadcast of Big Band Brunch, Sunday November 30, 2003 from 10 am to noon PT on Jazz 88, KSDS San Diego by Vince Outlaw of The New Jazz Thing. The site currently contains text, photos, and audio postings that document some of Bob's work at Jazz 88 and the thoughts of those who knew him inside and outside of the station. While the goal is to archive the material compiled, it is hoped that others who knew or were inspired by Bob or the show he hosted for over 12 years, will send their thoughts for posting on this site.

Other remembrances can be sent to VO@TheNewJazzThing.com or use the Comment[] link on any of the posts on this site.

I didn't know Bob real well, but his influence on big band music at Jazz 88 is well known. He was very dedicated to his show and the music. But as you can tell from the things that people say about him, you can tell that he loved his music and his position in being able to share it with others. I would see Bob at the rare Jazz 88 meeting or get-together, but I would check out Big Band Brunch on Sunday's from 10 am to Noon whenever possible. He always had something interesting to say about the tunes.

Enough said...on with the show...or weblog!

Much Love...VO

P.S. For those interested in the technology side of things, this new weblog will feature syndication via RSS and will utilize RSS enclosures for downloadable artifacts such as MP3 files and Quicktime movies. This feature allows users of RSS News Aggregators to download these artifacts during off-hours to enable real-time experience (instead of long downloads before media plays). More about this will be coming.
