YES!!!!!!

Have you noticed how Linus puts down his "security blanket" when he recites the words ".... Fear not!..." I've never noticed that; I'll have to check that out! Thanks for pointing that out!

Grachan Moncur Select, thanks to Ghost of Miles’ radio show! May have to order it myself, wrap it, put it under the tree “from Santa!”

To paraphrase a bumper sticker seen often: No Jimmy Smith, No Greeeeeaze Know Jimmy Smith, Know Greeeeeeaze!!!! Thanks for making the world so much more GREEEEEEEAZY!!!!!

I heard “Go, Red, Go” on KNTU and had the whole Keep That Groove Goin’ CD ordered by lunchtime. The rest of the album lived up to its title! That said, these days, it’s getting easier to go from that “one clip” directly to Amazon or some other place that has sound clips, so you’re not really taking too big a chance on music purchases anymore.

Yes, yes, YES!!! Total agreement about the kids singing around the tree! Also love Snoopy’s mocking of Lucy! Or how about when Snoopy does the little kick-dance with his supper dish? I still get choked up when Linus walks over and says, “That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.”

And I am not ashamed to say that I dig the Christmas albums by Percy Faith, Johnny Mathis, and Andy Williams.

Last night at the post office, they had some tins that had these caramel-Kisses in them. At the counter, the post-office-lady offered some to me, and kept offering them to me. I hope they don’t get too mad that I damn near cleaned out the tin. Ooooooooooh, they are SO good!!!!!!

Overseas discs mailed today! US discs to be mailed out this Friday! PLEASE let me know when you get your copy. Thanks!

Still haven't received mine.

Drat! Wish I'd known about that disc before I put my Blindfold Test together! B-)

Right on! Right on! Right on!!!!!

You mean like this?

It's all in the timing. Jerk.

Did they really do that?? No, but there was a time in my life when I would've killed for something like that to happen. Now if it happens, I may kill myself!

Still is. As well as the "ducats" guy.

I traded it to get that Merry Styx-mas LP that somehow got misplaced.....

It ain’t Christmas ‘til I dig out the cheesy Christmas music that I’ve loved all my life! I need to get a turntable again so I can transfer my mom’s old Columbia Special Products Christmas LPs that she got at Goodyear onto CD. But for now, these will more than suffice:

If they were made of dark chocolate, instead of milk chocolate, that'd solve that problem right quick. I can't eat too much milk chocolate all in one sitting -- to sweet. But man -- dark or even bittersweet chocolate -- I can really put that stuff away!! Oh, you KNOW it!!!! Dark chocolate RULES!!! In the meantime, I GOTS to find me some o’ these Kisses! (Ah well, so much for the diet. AGAIN!!!)

Well, the Boys won. I guess Parcells has his eyes set on the Super Bowl now....

Holy shit! What a rollercoaster of a game! And the Hawks still have 32 seconds left. I bet they come back.

True that! But with a lot of Monk covers, there is the stamp of that artist's personality. I don't hear it on the Branford album.

Parcells will believe his Boys are playoff bound all the way to the last game...... When do we get to see Drew Henson again, Bill?

I listened to it once. It's good, reverent, and sometimes risky. A very worthy tribute, but I felt kinda silly listening to it: I mean, why listen to this when I can hear the originals in all their majestic glory?

I dare you to start a Wynton thread! But then again, with at least three concurrent Crouch threads running, h emust be chompin' at the bit right now.
