  1. Actually, there is a difference (although minor):

    Bioluminescence is luminescence produced by living organisms and is thought to be a type of chemiluminescence. The luminescence observed in the sea is produced by living organisms, many of them microscopic, that collect at the surface. Other examples of bioluminescence include glowworms, fireflies, and various fungi and bacteria found on rotting wood or decomposing flesh.

    If the luminescence is caused by absorption of some form of radiant energy, such as ultraviolet radiation or X rays (or by some other form of energy, such as mechanical pressure), and ceases as soon as (or very shortly after) the radiation causing it ceases, then it is known as fluorescence.If the luminescence continues after the radiation causing it has stopped, then it is known as phosphorescence. The term phosphorescence is often incorrectly considered synonymous with luminescence.

    So my answer may be incorrect.

  2. Glow in the dark wood and I'm not sh!tting you.

    My buddies and I were camping and kicked over a stump to find that the wood was glowing underneath. It couldn't have been a hallucination as even the people only glancing in that direction immediately saw it and there were quite a few of us.

    We kept some in a glove box and it wasn't glowing the next day (nor did it ever again).

    not sure what it was but it was real and kinda neat

    Its called Phosphorescence.

  3. No problem folks, enjoy.

    I have to say though, the first two tracks (Townsend & Milburn) & the last two (Shannon Lyon) aren't on the mix usually, its just the numbered tracks that are (I think they are tagged also), but its funny how it worked out to 74 minutes with the first two added (thanks Baj for pointing that out).

    I love the Townsend acoustic though, man I am searching for more live acoustic stuff of his right now. The Milburn was a pure chance find reading a blog.

    Kve0, Hungry Ghosts gets daily play around my place, I love the album.

    I have a few other acoustic/folk/alt.country/bluegrass type mixes here (dubbed "Outlaws & Alcoholics") which I put together & I imagine I'll end up sharing soon. I'll probally just group the whole thing in a single download though...lol

    Did you put these mixes together presumably?

    I've never heard this Danko (wrote that as Djanko - which would be a cool band name), Fjeld/Anderson tune before.

    Yeah, I put the mix together. The Danko/ Fjeld/Anderson song is from a 1993 show I have from the Bottom Line in NYC.

    I can get a copy to you if you want, although I won't be able to get on it until sunday or monday.

  4. Thanks kindly guys, but I think I a going to go with the three disc set. Before I went out tonight, I burned a copy to listen to and it worked out really well (in my opinion).

    I hadn't thought about bringing the encore over to disc one, but in all honesty, I've never really liked getting shows like that.

    All good though, I appreciate the input thats for sure, sorta feel good here, I brought burnt out of the woodwork. :thumbup: Planning on having it on archive next week.

  5. Yep, I think thats what I'm going to do Brad, the more I look at & listen to it, the more that seems best.

    I think it was the 85 minutes throwing me for a loop, since its a bit more then the usual "over burn" and not alot of people use 90 minute discs with all the play back issues they are known for in some players.

    Just a little more cleaning and re-organizing and this show should be ready for sharing I guess, I'll be glad to get this one completed thats for sure. Can't say I've went over any show as many times as this one, man. Once its up I'll post a link to it. As well, a mp3 sample of what it sounded like before I cleaned it up.

    I just needed another opinion on the matter to help decide, much appreciated.

  6. Hey now,

    I'm currently finalizing a recording I recieved a couple years ago which was in terrible shape, so to speak, SBEs, digi-noise, mis-tracked etc. But, it looks like I've finally got it worthy of sharing. And I'm pretty excited about it since it appears to be uncirculated as of yet.

    My problem is how to split this up properly, for purposes here, I wrote it up like this:

    Little Feat

    77 Club

    Hamilton,Ontario

    Canada

    2003-05-29

    Disc One

    d1t01 Intro + > [1:27]

    d1t02 All that You Dream [8:13]

    d1t03 Hate to Lose Your Lovin' [4:43]

    d1t04 Honest Man [6:35]

    d1t05 Cold Cold Cold [7:39]

    d1t06 Easy to Slip > I Know You Rider > Easy To Slip [10:22]

    d1t07 Just Another Sunday [12:32]

    d1t08 Heaven's Forsaken [5:52]

    d1t09 Spanish Moon > [10:32]

    d1t10 Skin It Back > Day At The Dog Races [17:30]

    Disc Two

    d2t01 Jam > Dark Star tease > [6:17]

    d2t02 Dixie Chicken > Kenny Bass Solo > Billy Keys Solo** > [8:44]

    d2t03 Tennessee Jed > [5:35]

    d2t04 Dixie Chicken [10:30]

    d2t05 Fat Man in the Bathtub > [4:33]

    d2t06 Get Up Stand Up > Eden's Wall Tease > Drums > [8:25]

    d2t07 Fat Man In The Bathtub [2:27]

    Encore:

    d2t08 Willin' > Don't Bogart That Joint > Willin' [9:15].

    As above:

    [color:red]Total minutes : 141:21

    Disc one: 85:32

    Disc Two: 55:50

    Now, I could split the show by making d1t10 actually d2t01 the total time for each disc would be as follows:

    [color:red]Disc One: 68:02

    Disc Two: 73:20

    Ideally, this is what I would want, but by doing this I would be breaking up an amazing jam/transition from d1t09 > d1t10 (and within track 10)


    Another option is to break the discs up as folows:

    [color:red]Disc One Tracks d1t01 - d1t08 Total: 57:29

    Disc two Tracks d1t09 - d2t04 Total : 59:12

    Disc Three Track d2t05 - d2t08 Total: 24:43

    I know it shouldn't be that hard, but I don't wanna put out a show that gets divided during the playing. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

  7. Week old news but I hadn't read anything on here about it yet.

    Desmond Dekker, 64, Pioneer of Jamaican Music, Dies

    By JON PARELES

    Published: May 27, 2006

    Desmond Dekker, the Jamaican singer whose 1969 hit, "The Israelites," opened up a worldwide audience for reggae, died on Wednesday. He was 64.

    He died after collapsing from a heart attack at his home in Surrey, England, his manager, Delroy Williams, told Reuters.

    "The Israelites" was the peak of Mr. Dekker's extensive career, selling more than a million copies worldwide. He was already a major star in Jamaica and well known in Britain. The song was his only United States hit, but it was a turning point for Jamaican music among international listeners.

    The Jamaican rhythm of ska had already generated hits in the United States, notably Millie Small's 1964 hit, "My Boy Lollipop." But that song was treated as a novelty. "The Israelites," with its biblical imagery of suffering and redemption, showed the world reggae's combination of danceable rhythm and serious, sometimes spiritual intentions.

    Mr. Dekker was named Desmond Adolphus Dacres when he was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1941. As a teenager he worked in a welding shop alongside Bob Marley and auditioned unsuccessfully for various producers until Mr. Marley encouraged him to try out for his own first producer, Leslie Kong.

    Mr. Kong produced Mr. Dekker's first single, "Honour Thy Father and Mother," in 1963, and it reached No. 1 in Jamaica. Like many of Mr. Dekker's songs, it carried a message. A string of Jamaican hits followed, including "It Pays," "Sinners Come Home" and "Labour for Learning." Mr. Dekker had a total of 20 No. 1 hits in Jamaica.

    A series of songs including "Rude Boy Train" and "Rudie Got Soul" made Mr. Dekker a hero of Jamaica's rough urban "rude boy" culture.

    His 1960's songs used the upbeat ska rhythm, a precursor to reggae also known as bluebeat. By the end of the decade, Mr. Dekker had won the Golden Trophy award, presented annually to Jamaica's top singer, five times and was known as the King of Bluebeat. He won the Jamaican Song Festival in 1968 with "Intensified."

    "Honour Thy Father and Mother" was released in Britain in 1964 on Chris Blackwell's Island label, which would later release Bob Marley's albums. Three years later, Mr. Dekker had his first British Top 20 hit with "007 (Shanty Town)," a tale of rude-boy ghetto violence — "Dem a loot, dem a shoot, dem a wail" — sung in a thick patois, which Americans would hear later as part of the soundtrack to the film "The Harder They Come" in 1972. Paul McCartney slipped Mr. Dekker's first name into the lyrics to the Beatles' ska song, "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," on "The Beatles" (also known as the White Album) in 1968, the year Mr. Dekker moved to England.

    With "The Israelites," released in Jamaica in December 1968, Mr. Dekker had an international impact. "I was telling people not to give up as things will get better," he said in a interview last year for the Set the Tone 67 Web site.

    "The Israelites" reached No. 1 in Britain and No. 9 in the United States in 1969. The song would return to the British charts in 1975 and was reissued as a single after being used in a commercial for Maxell recording tape in 1990.

    Although Mr. Dekker had no further hits in the United States, he continued to have hits in England with "It Mek" in 1969 and the first recording of Jimmy Cliff's "You Can Get It if You Really Want" in 1970. But while Mr. Dekker kept up a busy performing career, the death of Mr. Kong in 1971 ended his streak of hits. He returned to the British charts with "Sing a Little Song" in 1975.

    The punk era of the late 1970's brought with it an English revival of ska by groups like Madness and the Specials. Mr. Dekker's songs were rediscovered, and he was signed by Madness's label, Stiff Records. His 1980 album, "Black and Dekker," featured members of a venerable Jamaican band, the Pioneers, and Graham Parker's band, the Rumour. The British hitmaker Robert Palmer produced Mr. Dekker's next album, "Compass Point," in 1981. But in 1984 Mr. Dekker declared bankruptcy, blaming his former manager.

    In 1993, the Specials reunited and backed up Mr. Dekker on the album "King of Kings," with remakes of ska hits. In 2000 he released the album "Halfway to Paradise." He continued to tour regularly; his final concert was on May 11 at Leeds University.

    Mr. Dekker was divorced and is survived by a son and daughter.

    I don't recommend it, but for me its a way

    I got a honky tonk habit

    And I just can't stop

    Its in my blood, I should quit
