And that was the original pressing, not some later limited boutique job.

Chuck's comment was directed to me, and I had no problem with it. Chuck understands and cares for humanity as much as anybody. Anyone who remembers the whole horrid situation with BrightMoments knows that. As Rooster says, these are tough times. If we lose any semblance of having senses of humor, that's going to make them even tougher. We need to trust each other's good will as much as we can.

Oh, we will do a lot "better" than 803. Add in the suburbs and we're at 2200, and it will go multiples higher, though so far we've been spared the worst of it.

Philly region has grown over past week from 85 cases to 803 cases. We are well stocked and hunkered in for awhile except for our daughter who works at a bank, but the bank is taking very limited walk-in traffic (loan closings only).

Rock addendum - "Inside (Looking Out)" by the Animals , later by Grand Funk Railroad. "Don't Stand So Close To Me" by the Police. "From a Distance" by Bette Midler. "Who Knows What Tomorrow May Bring" by Traffic.

That's one heck of a pick up team!

My other big go-to was the Sporting News Baseball Register, and before that, Who's Who In Baseball, and also The Baseball Encyclopedia. I love stats and trades. And I was way early onto the Bill James train.

A shame that Pablo never made it onto CD.

I remember it. Like so many of his albums, the whole to me seems less than the sum of the parts. I think I like the CTI"s better due to Sebesky's input.

Absolutely. He could run faster, throw and kick farther, had a better feel for the game, compared to anyone else in the league. We won the city championship, rather he won it single-handedly for us. Yet, because of the times, he was the only African-American player in the league, and he didn't even start at QB for us, the coach's son did. But the coach would put in Holloway to start the second half (or earlier if needed) and he would just totally dominate the game. BTW, I had nothing to do with the success of that team, was a second-string defensive end. I also played on a city champion baseball team in Cincinnati a few years later, where I was a second-string outfielder and also contributed nothing to the championshiop. Had a good knack for being in the right place at the right time. Or maybe it was my intangibles, LOL!

They could let you pick your own simulated announcer. I could have Bob Prince or Harry Kalas.

He was actually even much better than we realized back then. He was a walking machine, drawing as many as 148 in a season, so had otherworldly on base percentages for the era. Joe Morgan did, also.

Pretty cool, thanks, feels almost real. Realmuto is off to a lousy start with my Phillies, won't help him when negotiating for his extension.

I played on a team with Condredge Holloway in Huntsville, Alabama when we were both 11 years old, if that name has meaning to anyone. CFL thread seems like the right place to mention that.

Wow. He hasn't touched me in decades, only 'Time Out of Mind' (especially "Highlands") in the past nearly 40 years, but this is a very moving experience, especially now.

I'm willing to rewatch this:

Not that I am aware of. I agree that his CTI titles are stronger than what came after. Still like "Uptown Conversation" better than any of them.

With Brady gone, they may be a thing of the past anyways...

What are some you have in mind? I've never been disappointed in any Joe Henderson record that had Ron Carter on it. Much love for this one:

I remember being disappointed in it. Not essential work by any of the three artists (and I've never been sold on Ron Carter as a leader beyond 'Uptown Conversation').

Thanks, a lot of potential treasures to explore there!

Never heard of that one, either. I really need to go find a Milestone discography, thanks for the lead.
