This night was a hot one! Didn’t sleep as well as I’d like but 's alright. Starting off with a disc I’ve neglected long enough, Horace Tapscott “Dark Tree,” the second disc.  

Whatever it was, it died with him.  I remember reading an interview with Don Friedman, who had worked with Chet in the past, and the interviewer said something about seeing Chet play recently, and Don interrupted him and said, "Wait, you're saying that Chet is still alive?!" The interviewer answered in the affirmative, and Don still didn't believe him. Don then went on to describe how Chet would drive them from gig to gig, going over 100 MPH through residential neighborhoods, day or night. He said the time he spent playing in Chet's quartet was a living hell. That's all I remember, but it must have been something like that that made my friend quit after eight months...

Week 8 results Montreal 33....Calgary 31 Interesting game.  The Stamps were the better team, but the Als managed to take the lead late in the half.  Calgary took charge in the third.  But then Adams and Alford got hurt, and the Stamps' offense generated nothing after that.  The Als managed to get three field goals in the fourth to pull it out. XFL superstar PJ Walker replaced Adams, and he didn't look like a superstar. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/07/25/recap-montreal-23-calgary-21/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/07/25/alouettes-complete-fourth-quarter-comeback-to-beat-stampeders-on-thursday/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/jose-maltos-late-go-ahead-field-goal-lifts-montreal-alouettes-to-win-over-calgary-stampeders-1.2339037 https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/early-indications-positive-on-qb-vernon-adams-jr-week-9-status-1.2339713 https://3downnation.com/2025/07/25/jose-maltos-foot-leads-montreal-alouettes-to-an-upset-win-in-calgary-seven-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/07/25/calgary-stampeders-plucked-by-alouettes-lose-more-than-vernon-adams-jr-five-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/07/25/dont-say-anything-good-about-me-alouettes-qb-mcleod-bethel-thompson-takes-shot-at-tsn-panel-after-victory/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-scores-today-montreal-alouettes-23-calgary-stampeders-21-als-complete-fourth-quarter-comeback/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/07/25/3-stats-that-defined-montreals-week-8-win-over-calgary/ ***** Sask 21....Edmonton 18 The Elks' offense looked much sharper with Fajardo starting at quarterback, but they gave up eight sacks. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/07/26/recap-saskatchewan-21-edmonton-18/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/07/26/roughriders-defence-brings-the-heat-in-win-over-elks/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/trevor-harris-throws-for-two-tds-as-saskatchewan-roughriders-hold-off-cody-fajardo-edmonton-elks-1.2339433 https://3downnation.com/2025/07/26/edmonton-elks-get-sacked-to-death-in-saskatchewan-five-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/07/26/saskatchewan-roughriders-reindeer-games-almost-cost-them-against-elks-9-other-thoughts/ https://pifflespodcast.com/blog/riders-d-line-delivers-8-presents-to-cody-fajardo-during-christmas-in-july-victory/ https://pifflespodcast.com/blog/riderville-roundup-july-27-2025/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/07/26/3-stats-that-defined-saskatchewans-week-8-win-over-edmonton/ ***** Toronto 31....Winnipeg 17 That's three games in a row that the Bombers have been beaten badly.  The Argos continue to improve with Arbuckle. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/07/26/recap-toronto-31-winnipeg-17/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/07/26/argos-hand-bombers-third-straight-loss-in-111th-grey-cup-rematch/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/winnipeg-blue-bombers-qb-zach-collaros-ruled-out-for-second-half-in-loss-to-toronto-argonauts-1.2339719 https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/nick-arbuckle-throws-two-td-passes-as-toronto-argonauts-down-bombers-for-first-home-win-of-season-1.2339752 https://3downnation.com/2025/07/26/winnipeg-blue-bombers-crushed-by-argonauts-in-grey-cup-repeat-11-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/07/27/toronto-argonauts-get-right-at-the-right-time-with-win-over-bombers-six-other-thoughts/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/07/26/3-stats-that-defined-torontos-week-8-win-over-winnipeg/ ***** Hamilton 37....BC 33 Great game between two evenly matched clubs.  The Ticats scored two touchdowns in the last three minutes to win it. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/07/27/recap-hamilton-37-bc-33/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/07/27/tiger-cats-keep-winning-streak-alive-with-victory-over-lions/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/bo-levi-mitchell-hamilton-tiger-cats-complete-late-comeback-to-beat-bc-lions-1.2340154 https://www.cfl.ca/2025/07/27/3-stats-that-defined-hamiltons-week-8-win-over-bc/ ***** The Argos placed Chad Kelly on the six-game list. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/07/27/chad-kelly-placed-on-six-game-injured-list/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/toronto-argonauts-put-quarterback-chad-kelly-on-six-game-injured-list-1.2339816 https://3downnation.com/2025/07/26/toronto-argonauts-officially-place-qb-chad-kelly-on-six-game-injured-list/ ***** CFL Award contenders https://www.cfl.ca/2025/07/25/early-season-frontrunners-for-all-7-cfl-awards/ ***** Power Rankings https://3downnation.com/2025/07/28/3downnation-cfl-power-rankings-hamilton-tiger-cats-soar-amid-five-game-winning-streak/
