Greg, I have ordered your prize, which is made up of three items which I expect will be shipped to you in two boxes.
They should arrive in about a week.
Please let us know when they arrive! Hope you like them.
I received part of the prize today, a Michael Weiss CD, and a 4-disc set of Roland Kirk. I don't really know either artist's music at all so this seems like a great introduction! Thanks again for the contest and prize!

Final score...
Toronto 41....Winnipeg 24
total points - 65
Our winner, with Toronto - 60, is GregK!
Congratulations Greg! This is your first win!
Please DM me your address, and I'll get your prize right out to you.
Thanks for playing everybody!
Cool! I really wanted to pick Winnipeg since most Toronto teams make my stomach turn, but nice to see they came through for me this one time! Yep, my first win, I think I've participated in this every year you've offered it, so this is nice. See you next year!

looks like I'll have to go with Toronto, 60!

This looks great. Should I care how many "GRAMMY" awards the production team has?

Kind of an oddball example, but even more than the others Dickey wasn't one to be put in just one box.
Good version of Kind of Bird

Greg, I've already go Montreal - 50! Pick something else.
Currently, everything for Montreal is available from 40 and below, and from 60 and above.
Everything for Winnipeg is available from 35 and below, and from 75 and above.

I am thinking now that this might be a low scoring game, by Grey Cup standards.
Montreal's offense isn't very good, but they do have a good field goal kicker, David Cote. I can see Winnipeg holding Montreal to a touchdown and maybe three field goals.
Montreal's defense is good and getting better. I can see them holding Winnipeg to less than what they usually score, maybe 24.
A final score of 24-13 isn't out of the question.
Ah, meant to hit 6, not 5!
Montreal 60! Always a chance!

Montreal, 50!!

Just finished season 2 of The Wire - now on to season 3.
I always thought Season 2 was the best! But they are all good.

born and raised in Canada, I've never had poutine. Gross.

Damn this is very sad news. Those first two albums were so good, such a unique sound for the time. What a collection of talent The Band was.

Blue Rodeo (from Canada)
Ryan Adams- his 90s band Whiskeytown, and his albums Heartbreaker, Cold Roses and Jacksonville City Nights.

Wow! When can I preorder this??!!

It's like she didn't even at least check Wikipedia before writing this!
"If we review his career, we know that he started with Be Bop. His work with Art Blakey was “pace-setting.” But having mastered that he moved on to form his own group, Weather Report. During his stint with his group, his “quest” took him to Jazz Fusion. He’d go on to compose many jazz standards and refined modern Harmonic language."

I've listened to so much of his music, so many times, I almost feel like a little part of me died with this news. Just so sad.
-
Huh, I had no idea. I pretty much avoid youtube except for when a link is sent to me, so I wouldn't know of anyone "youtube famous". Good interview with Jarrett though.
-
I'm a little puzzled by all the comments regarding this Beato guy. Did I miss something, who is he? I've never heard of him before this interview, so I don't have much opinion of him. Is he famous or something?

Well, sure; but he has Jarrett' trust enough to get him on camera so gets a pass from me because I doubt anyone else could have made this happen.
thanks for posting this video. Fascinating!

I don't know about those, but this is what I use:
I like it because the lid never leaks, as the lid itself screws into place, and the opening is a push button. I've carried this one sideways and even upside down while trying to get all of my stuff out of the car and there have been no leaks at all. I have found that other travel mugs eventually leak at the lid.

If you liked the original Fillmore East May 1971 album, I'd advise someone to grab this box at a good price. I found it amazing to hear how tight and inventive was the band. Aynsley Dunbar was a great drummer, I love Flo & Eddie (I know opinions differ, which is why I started this comment with "If you liked..."), I was blown away by the compositions, and the band is tight as all getout. I agree, 4 versions of Billy The Mountain is way too much (I never even liked it the first time, on Just Another Band From L.A.), so just skip over them. The booklet is fabulous (don't miss the interview with Ian Underwood), and, above all else, don't miss the Rainbow concert. It's astonishing to hear them, after the fire at Montreux, appear with rented instruments and be as great as they were. The verite moment at the end is what it is; I felt like a voyeur listening to it once, although it is fascinating and dramatic, and I probably will never listen to it again.
I was really surprised at how good this set is, when coming to it from the perspective of the Fillmore East album. The multiple Billy The Mountains, Wille The Pimp and King Kongs have so much excellent music that makes this set the definitive version of this band, for me (and I really am not a fan at all of Flo & Eddie).

this is a fantastic suggestion! I've learned a lot from his liner notes, and are always worth a re-read. Never a wasted word!

I would mostly agree with him about this, but also nominate the ProjeKcts-2000 edition of Crimson. Different kind of music, but the improvisation was as good as anything I ever heard by any other edition of King Crimson.
