This site has a bunch of VERY awesome looking wallpapers with jazz greats in them.  Currently I have Bird on my laptop, Herbie Hancock on my desktop, Monk on my studio computer, and Miles on my server computer. http://www.jazzreview.com/resource/jazz_desktop.html

Man, you sound like you're not hurtin' at all, woah!

Haha.  I'm not a full-time jazz pianist, nor do I ever plan to be.  Everybody tells me I'm wasting my talent, but I ask them how I can make money in it and they never seem to have an answer.  It's just a hobby; I just play gigs on the side.  But yeah I didn't pay for any of these computers; I just find scrap parts and build my own stuff. But yeah my favorite wallpaper on there is the gold Charlie Parker one.  Looks sweet.

Tinkering certainly has its rewards then.

DoubleZ, Have you ever played gigs in shopping malls, restauraunts?  What kind of music do you play when you get these gigs. Do they hire classical pianist as well?
