One of the reasons that jazz is viewed in many circles to be such an original form of music is that the melodic ideas jump out spontaneously in improvisation, always fresh and full of raw vitality... see Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk, or Coltrane (to name just a few). Yet these brilliant bursts of originality are derived from pre-existing musical ideas such as notes, scales, etc.

I think I'm in love.
I want to jump my Phylum, from (stranger) to (member), so I can be where milum is.
:o)

:o) Is this the universal sign for having a "Jimmy Durante" nose, or someone shocked with a double chin?  This'll give you a boost on to membership - just don't be so 'modest'

Heh, hate to rain on the parade (and i *did like your clever poem, milum  ) but as for originality, as i read it i was immediately reminded of the lyrics to one of my favorite Venice songs: Hell will freeze
Love will grow on trees
And the rivers all will run dry
The birds won't sing
And the bells won't ring
There will be no stars in the sky
The truth will be untrue
One and one will not be two
And I'll do something I'll never do
When I get over you
The moon won't glow
And the wind won't blow
There will be no lesson to learn
Life will be too long
Right will be all wrong
And this world will no longer turn
The blues will not be blue
When I get over youps: Is there a rhetorical term for this type of expression? (Conditioning an occurence upon another, impossible occurence?) I suppose, in a strict rhetorical sense, it would simply be ironyŽ, hmm?

Since nobody else has mentioned it, I think it worth a bit tribute to the thousands of engineers who have made so many better ideas for improvements in all of our amenities. Better homes, better transportation, better fabrics and gabrication thereof, better communications, and all sorts of scientific instruments, computers and software.

Hi Musick -
It's someone with a BUTTON nose, of course! :o) Because I cannot figure out how to work the blimmin' icons. Me techno-peasant....
and hey, caradea - have not heard that song, but I still think milum's pome is far more cleverer (as youse might say)! AND MORE ORIGINAL!
I'm KIDDING! how can you be "more" original? it's like being a little bit pregnant or somewhat dead.
The last post reminds me of that wonderful scene in Shirley Valentine, in which all the girls at the school are asked what was man's greatest invention. "The Sputnik, miss." "The automatic washing machine, miss." "The internal combustion engine, miss." And only Shirley gets it right: "Miss, it was the wheel!" She knew it was right because her dad had told her, and HE'D read it in the encyclopaedia....

Is this the universal sign for having a "Jimmy Durante" nose"Ha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha!... eferybody wants ta get inta de act! And good night, Mrs. Calabash, wher efer you are!" Always loved the guy! Did you ever hear Durante do his interpretation of "The Septmember Song"...now that's originality for you!

mg, here is Jo's explanation from Helpful Hints and FAQ's:
"It is useful to try out the markup options, particularly changing [ blue ]colours[ /blue ]", adding [ b ]emphasis[ /b ], using emoticons [ i ]like this[ /i ][ smile ]. You can also reach the markup information by clicking on the link which says "you may use markup in your posts" at the top of the page where you add your post."
========================================================
NEWCOMERS--there really is a lot of good info. in this thread. Really. It takes a while, but it will make your time here easier, it really will. It's in I & A.
