I think so-called Smooth Jazz, ISN'T! Being from New Orleans, I'm
partial to Fushion, part Funk and part Beat! Funky-Beat, get it?
Dixieland is way too slow for me, except when played in a funeral
dirge, which the musicians do, there! I love Quincy Jones, George
Duke and Bob James; like that! That crap that they played on CD
101.9, now off the air, put me to sleep! Play anything and call it
Jazz, was the message to me! Come out today and see Tom Browne or Roy
Ayers. They do NOT play Smooth Jazz, but can bring their funky beat,
down, when needed! I miss the old 92-KTU, Club Music, that vibrated
from my house! Nicole is from Neptune City! Like Bruce, it sounds
better to say Asbury Park or Freehold!

You have every right to be into what you're into, whether it be Rock,
Har Rock, Acid Rock or Indie! My taste migrate to Popular, Jazz and
Classical! So much for my dull picks, huh?
