Airplane musings

While flying back from New York City to Detroit, bad weather turned the usual 1 hour and 15 minute flight into well over 2 hours. With this extended flying opportunity, I had the chance to listen to both sets recorded live during Jackie Blue's New Jersey show on our Archos Gmini. The Gmini is an amazing music hard disk recording device, measuring about 2 inches by 2 1/2 inches, it not only plays back MP3 and WAV audio files but also records uncompressed CD quality WAV files (16 bit word at a 44.1KHz sample rate). The recording sounded great and I'll be posting some samples on the Jackie Blue website: www.JackieBlue.com

I also came to the following conclusions while circling Detroit in the clouds waiting for our turn to land:
1) There's going to be no end to the "Alice" jokes that were started on stage by Carrieand a certain "White Rabbit" song.

2) How is it the Airbus can build an airplane that's slow, noisy and uncomfortable (the A320 series) while Boeing's 737 are none of these things?

3) By any standards: singing, song writing, stage presence, height; Fee Waybill of the Tubes is one of the most underrated lead singers. And their live shows were just amazing.
