  14. I can't buy recorded music any more, unless I discard it, usually within a week. So I only bought one CD in 2014: Randy Weston and BIlly Harper, Roots of the Blues. So without any comparison to any other CD purchased in 2014 (but compared to what I heard during about six hours of radio listening a day), I'll say, "I liked Roots of the Blues".

    Well, if you had to choose only one, that was a good choice!

  15. It looks like the Seahawks will be back in the Super Bowl, with a great chance to win it. Their offense has gotten much better over the season, and the defense is absolutely incredible. Personally, I hope they face the Patriots in the big #XLIX, so that Tom Brady can join Peyton Manning in the ranks of "elite" losers.
