I can get into 99% of anything you can try to lock me out of and you'll never know i was there. That's after i've disabled your security system and CCTV.

I think i've already said too much...

I hope you never get mad at me...:)

I have a Graduate Degree because of various GI Bills and currently work as a Human Resources Manager

No worries. I agree with you. I should've already used it. I put school on the backburner for too long.

It is definitely something you have to "want" to do. I worked full-time and still managed to go (Evening classes). I am currently taking post graduate classes with an eye toward being an ad-hoc Professor.

The stipend is also handy (I assume you qualify for Post-911.)

I got my Bachelor's in Political Science from EKU. I do absolutely nothing with this degree but get into arguments.

My favorite jazz performer is Guy Patterson who played a one terrific riff with Dell Paxton.

I am a tax, social security and financial adviser. Bachelors degree in Finance. I own five offices.

[Bronxbengal]

I am a government employee whose boss is M.  My co-workers are Q and Miss Moneypenny.  Q is unbelievably creative while Miss Moneypenny is hot.  My job has constant conflict and I am always dealing with nasty people who have unusual names which I don't understand why.  These people also work for global organizations that put my physical and mental skills to the tests.  Thank God for Q or I wouldn't be here enjoying Cincinnati Bengal football.  Overall, my days can sometimes be hectic, but at the end of it all I do enjoy my time off.

I am not familiar with these recordings, but when I looked at the other musicians my jaw dropped.

Wayne Shorter
Herbie Hancock
Keith Jarrett (my favorite jazz musician)
John McLaughlin
Dave Holland
Jack DeJohnette
Ron Carter

(plus a lot of other guys I have never heard of who are probably all mind-blowing musicians)

It is like an all-time all-star lineup.  No way all of those guys could be playing together on all of the tracks.

It spans over 5 discs. There's a ton of material and will take you a long time to digest with the wonderful playing. Each disc highlights different players with Miles. Heres a great article on it if your interested.
