And not a cigar! Actually, the good doctor is correct. Dean's character, Willard Whyte, was not Bond's enemy, but an ally in Diamonds Are Forever.

I was too young to enjoy The Jimmy Dean Show, but I fondly remember his role as "Josh" the fur trapper on one of my favorite programs, Fess Parker's Daniel Boone.

Star of Stage, Screen and Breakfast Table By STEPHEN MILLER Singer Jimmy Dean drew on his fame as a country-music and television star to create what became the biggest-selling breakfast sausage brand in the U.S. Mr. Dean, who died Sunday at age 81, scored gold records with such songs as "Big Bad John," a spoken-word pieceabout a doomed miner, and "I.O.U.," a mushy tribute to his mother. But it was the sausage business that made Jimmy Dean a familiar name in kitchens across the nation. Mr. Dean's homey, unscripted ads on TV and radio boasted about how his sausage was made "from the whole hog, not just the leavings." The business grew rapidly from Mr. Dean's home town of Plainview, Texas. He told interviewers he got into meatpacking as a hedge against the unpredictability of a show-business career. "If you saw my act, you would have realized that diversification was imperative," he told the Washington Post in 1983. Wal Street Journal

Tradition, or superstition? A good announcer (increasingly rare these days) can highlight the drama of a situation like this without interfering with the course of the game. I mean, it's not like they're interviewing teammates during the game, after all. My biggest gripe is that too many sportscasters talk incessantly, ruining the tension normally created by brief periods of relative silence as the pitcher looks for the catcher's signals, eyes the base-runner, stares at the batter. In addition, you're visually bombarded with every statistic and TV special effect that's available. Remember, Miles said the space between the notes was as important as the notes themselves. The same applies to baseball, imo.

If you wish to burn a CD, why rely on a download service or a media player to give what you want? There are several CD burning software programs available that require little space on your computer, offer you the control and options you want, and best of all, are free. Check out http://download.cnet.com, choose PC or Mac, then click on MP3 & Audio Software and then CD Burners. There you can get an idea of what's out there and what the editors and/or customers think.

Can someone please provide me with the following information about Red Garland's Galaxy LP Stepping Out (GXY-5129) 1. Producer 2. Engineer(s) Thanks in advance!

Intended or not, your comment sounds rather flippant to me.

Sillier than most of the stuff you post in the Politics forums?

From CAM re: Threadgill - A philological work, beginning with the original recordings on multi-track master tapes, patiently integrally remastered paying strict attention to the sound quality. Does that answer your question?

Congatulations Alex! I downloaded Song/Dance from eMusic a few days ago and I'm really enjoying it. Hopefully I'll get the chance to see the Quartet live sometime. Take care.

I agree. I bought their first three recordings (MOPDTK, Shamokin!!!, This Is Our Moosic) and will probably pick up the new Forty Fort. I wasn't aware they were being "gimmicky" or less than serious, other than their cover art or composition titles. I just like their music.

Agreed. And the counter-arguments of cultural relativism are to be roundly dismissed, imo.

Nah, I was operating on the "what the hell is he going to say now" principle. Old habits die hard (with a vengeance!).

Yes, Mulligan was addicted to heroin in the '50s, but creating this thread was juvenile and in poor taste.

My favorite part is the host lamenting Louie's inability to disguise himself better by raising the pitch of his voice. John Daly: "I'm only sorry you weren't going to be with us longer. I wish you could have gotten higher." Armstrong: "Well I'll get higher next time." Classic Pops!

I test drove this unit at a local retailer. I thought the sound was a little porky. Yeah, the bass is rather muddy, and the highs tend to squeal if you turn it up too loud.

On a serious note, you might want to look into the Boston Acoustics Duo-i plus, $199 at B&H Photo-Video-Audio.

I have no idea how this sounds... ...but it's soooo cute.

in your opinion (everybody gets one)

I thought some of the board's beer savants would appreciate this bit of news: Mass. Man Accused Of Trying To Swap Baby For Beers by The Associated Press CHICOPEE, Mass. May 18, 2010, 08:06 am ET Authorities say a Massachusetts man offered to give his 3-month-old daughter to a maintenance man outside a gas station convenience store in exchange for a pair of 40-ounce beers. Chicopee police say 24-year-old Matthew Brace of Northampton made the offer on Monday. The maintenance man called police, who found Brace hiding with the girl behind a trash container. State child welfare officials took the baby into custody. Police say Brace was not arrested but will be summoned to court to face a charge of reckless endangerment of a child. A phone number for him could not immediately be found. The child's mother was in the store at the time buying cigarettes. She has not been charged.

It's my understanding that the record labels, not Emusic, dictate the "album-only" format, as well as the policy of charging 12 credits for titles that have less than 12 tracks.

Reissuing music takes time. I'm sure Chuck can attest to this fact. In a February radio interview, Gianni Morelenbaum Gualberto said they were hoping that the first Horo reissues would be available in late May or June.

That's why people call us "jazz snobs."

of course, it's a baritone saxomaphone!

Actress Lynn Redgrave has died at age 67 By MICHAEL KUCHWARA and HILLEL ITALIE (AP) NEW YORK — Lynn Redgrave, an introspective and independent player in her family's acting dynasty who became a 1960s sensation as the unconventional title character of "Georgy Girl" and later dramatized her troubled past in such one-woman stage performances as "Shakespeare for My Father" and "Nightingale," has died. She was 67. Her publicist Rick Miramontez, speaking on behalf of her children, said Redgrave died peacefully Sunday night at her home in Kent, Conn. Children Ben, Pema and Annabel were with her, as were close friends. "Our beloved mother Lynn Rachel passed away peacefully after a seven year journey with breast cancer," Redgrave's children said in a statement Monday. "She lived, loved and worked harder than ever before. The endless memories she created as a mother, grandmother, writer, actor and friend will sustain us for the rest of our lives. Our entire family asks for privacy through this difficult time." AP story
