Here is the additional vinyl on Columbia with the rest (5 more tracks):

Week 17 results Montreal 38....Calgary 20 Davis Alexander set the league record for starting quarterbacks by winning his ninth straight to begin his career. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/26/recap-montreal-38-calgary-20/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/26/pattersons-hat-trick-leads-alouettes-to-win-over-stampeders/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/alexander-sets-cfl-record-with-9-0-start-to-career-as-alouettes-down-stampeders/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/calgary-stampeders-stick-with-tradition-fall-in-montreal-seven-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/davis-alexander-provides-magic-as-montreal-alouettes-stomp-the-stamps-in-return-five-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/hes-different-davis-alexander-sets-cfl-record-while-posting-single-game-career-high-passing-yards-in-alouettes-return/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-scores-today-calgary-stampeders-20-montreal-alouettes-38-alouettes-dominate-at-home/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/26/3-stats-that-defined-montreals-week-17-win-over-calgary/ ***** BC 27....Toronto 22 The Lions were the better team, but the Argos made a game of it in the end. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/recap-bc-27-toronto-22/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/lions-take-down-argonauts-to-claim-third-straight-win/ https://www.tsn.ca/mlb/article/lions-grind-out-victory-over-argonauts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/toronto-argonauts-unofficially-seal-their-fate-in-loss-to-b-c-lions-seven-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/b-c-lions-require-no-consultation-as-nathan-rourke-pushes-through-tight-victory-over-argos-12-other-thoughts/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-scores-today-bc-lions-27-toronto-argonauts-22-lions-extend-win-streak-to-three-games/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/3-stats-that-defined-bcs-week-17-win-over-toronto/ ***** ***** ***** Winnipeg 40....Hamilton 3 This one gets my vote for least interesting game of the year. The Ticats showed nothing. However, the Argos' loss clinched second place for Hamilton. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/recap-winnipeg-40-hamilton-3/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/zach-collaros-cooks-up-ticats-in-return-for-bombers/ https://www.tsn.ca/wires/cp/article/blue-bombers-tame-tiger-cats-to-move-into-third-in-west/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/hamilton-tiger-cats-fail-to-get-off-the-plane-in-winnipeg-fly-home-embarrassed-seven-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/winnipeg-blue-bombers-erupt-offensively-crush-hamilton-tiger-cats-13-other-thoughts/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-scores-today-winnipeg-blue-bombers-40-hamilton-tiger-cats-3-collaros-returns-in-dominant-fashion/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/3-stats-that-defined-winnipegs-week-17-win-over-hamilton/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/27/official-hamilton-tiger-cats-clinch-cfl-playoff-spot/ ***** Edmonton 27....Sask 25 Terrific game till the very end! The Elks' starters on defense are hurt, but the back-ups seem to be doing a better job. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/recap-edmonton-27-saskatchewan-25/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/back-and-forth-ends-in-victory-for-elks-over-roughriders/ https://www.tsn.ca/wires/cp/article/emotional-elks-keep-playoff-hopes-alive-with-win-over-roughriders/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/28/edmonton-elks-hang-on-to-beat-roughriders-win-one-for-larry-six-other-thoughts/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/28/saskatchewan-roughriders-miss-huge-opportunity-in-loss-to-edmonton-eight-other-thoughts/ https://pifflespodcast.com/blog/slow-start-12-missed-points-defensive-breakdowns-cost-riders-against-edmonton/ https://pifflespodcast.com/blog/riderville-roundup-september-28-2025/ https://cflnewshub.com/cfl-news/cfl-scores-today-edmonton-elks-27-saskatchewan-roughriders-25-elks-edge-riders-in-wild-fourth-quarter-battle/ https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/27/3-stats-that-defined-edmontons-week-17-win-over-saskatchewan/ ***** ***** The Redblacks have sent Lorenzo Mauldin to the Stampeders for a fourth round pick. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/09/28/stamps-acquire-lorenzo-mauldin-iv-in-trade-with-redblacks/ https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/stampeders-acquire-dl-mauldin-from-redblacks/ https://3downnation.com/2025/09/28/calgary-stampeders-acquire-dl-lorenzo-mauldin-iv-via-trade-from-ottawa-redblacks/ ***** ***** ***** All three of last week's seven-win teams won their eighth game, so it looks like the playoff teams are set. However, it's very possible that the Elks could win two of their last three, so we will see. Both the Argos and the Redblacks would have to win all of their remaining games to avoid the eleventh loss. *****

Colm Toibin: Brooklyn

yes, I've heard the UK to US line seems to be open as of late.

I finished Kundera's Ignorance, which I didn't really care for. I'm in the middle of a few books: Russo's Empire Falls (quite entertaining), Canetti's Auto-da-Fé (a bit pretentious but overall ok) and Buzzati's The Singularity (NYRB), which seems promising though I haven't gotten to the SF core of the novel yet.

Excellent choices! Maybe my favorite Hank Mobley!

RIP

Not a "good" week for piano players. R.I.P.

Yes, he did, I've bought quite a few albums with him in recent years, often because of him, and many were excellent... RIP

Sorry to hear this. He did good work. RIP

Slight price reduction. Last day to get a great deal on an excellent Mosaic box set. Thanks. The Blue Note Stanley Turrentine Quintet/Sextet Studio Sessions 5 CD, Mosaic, 2002 Limited Edition of 5000 numbered copies (this is copy # 3065). Everything is in excellent condition - outer box, CDs, jewel cases, large booklet. There is just some very minor rubbing to about a 1/4" piece of the mid left side edge of the front cover paste-on photo. I had not even noticed that until now but wanted to mention any minor issue at all. It is a nice copy. $69 (+ $10 media mail shipping). U.S. shipping only. Payment by pay pal friends/family. I will pack this carefully (wrapped in bubble wrap), ship it in a sturdy box, and provide a postal tracking # after shipping.

Me too. Had not played this in maybe ten years, Rather simple blues riff tunes among the originals, but the feel and groove was much more lively than I remembered. And Wes always delivered fine solos.

Pianist Mike Wofford, the husband of flautist Holly Hofmann, as well as her musical partner, died on September 19 at the age of 87. I was fortunate to hear both of them playing together twice, co-leading a quartet and in the unique group Flutology at IAJE.

I was pleasantly surprised at how "non-commercial" this "commercial" music was.
