Was Muhammad Ali a Boxer as well as a great piano player?

how socially inadequate, its only funny for a while then its just lame.

Yes, it helped him with punching, kicking, and jabbing those chords while comping.

Oh come on this is SO old; grow up.


(Coming from a 16-year-old).

I love it!  Teenagers telling us middle-aged folks to grow up!
When you're old like Mike and me, maybe you'll stop taking life so seriously  ;-)

That's just one of the reasons that we play Jazz.  Breaking the rules; sticking it to the man; raging against the machine.  Still a 60's kid.

Mike -- 09/25/2006, 21:45:57 -- #30030
Cynbad I never would have guessed you were an old lady,  I thought you were a young chick.

For those of you who don't know any better, when known as Cassius Clay, Mohammed Ali used to play Boogie-Woogie piano and often joked that when he became too old too fight that he was going to become a professional pianist.

Had he not developed his physical problems, I expect he would've given a few here a run for their money.

Ali Boxed? Jesus!

jwv76 -- 09/26/2006, 02:14:54 -- #30030
That's funny cause I was thinking if my piano playing career doesn't pan out I might take a go at boxing.

"Breaking the rules; sticking it to the man"

Or, in CynBad's case, sticking it in the man.

:-P

CynBad -- 09/27/2006, 19:37:13 -- #30030
DoubleZ, maybe you could translate your remarks into GROWNUP language.

DoubleZ -- 09/28/2006, 17:00:05 -- #30030
CynBad, maybe you could make your pitiful attempt at chastisement into some form of a decent comeback.
