lowdown Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I found this reply post amusing on the OP Twitter thread... "There’s two types of scat. There's nonsense-singing by singers , and then there’s ‘jazz noises’: the involuntary Tourette’s-type vocalisations made by piano or bass players when deep in the throes of instrumental improvisation. The latter tends to be the more interesting sort." 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knirirr Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 It wasn't me; I don't post on Twitter any more. There was some scat at last night's jam session but I refrained from perpetrating the dastardly trick mentioned. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one for a few years. Didn't use him for hunting. He was a pet (purists can look away now). Great character. Used to take him for walks with a cat harness and long lead. It was amusing in the local park when dogs used to run up to him. He'd arch his back with his fur standing on on end, bare his teeth and hiss at them. He never backed away (I was always ready to grab him and pick him up if things got ugly). Must have been something about the smell or sound of him, but dogs, even large ones, never pushed their luck with him. Owners would come up and say, "Did my dog frighten your... what's that, mate?" "A polecat", I'd reply (he was dark marked like a polecat). They'd drag Fido away, complaining that I shouldn't be in the park with a "dangerous animal". 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddo Soqable Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I just wanted one as a pet, I didn't want to use him as a killing machine, although they can do that rather well by nature of course. It'd be a bit of a riot here trying to integrate a ferret with all the other 4 leggers unfortunately, but they still do appeal 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And CND stands for Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. https://cnduk.org/the-symbol/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To quote from that link that I cited: Quote He later wrote to Hugh Brock, editor of Peace News, explaining the genesis of his idea in greater, more personal depth: ‘I was in despair. Deep despair. I drew myself: the representative of an individual in despair, with hands palm outstretched outwards and downwards in the manner of Goya’s peasant before the firing squad. I formalised the drawing into a line and put a circle around it’. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddo Soqable Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 You could even extrapolate the earlier Christian prayer attitude as describing the same "shape" although again inverted.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddo Soqable Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Aanyway, returning to jazz, aparrently Charlie Parker's heroin addiction, which tragically cut his life short,( dying in his 30s) can be traced back to a band bus accident which left him with back pain.. Heroin being a very effective pain killer was used to alleviate this, and being so addictive... The rest is history 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Dare Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 From Webster's - scat: noun (1) : animal fecal droppings. For many animals, particularly predatory ones, a scat is a calling card that marks territory and leaves information. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
