Luckily, your manager isn't good enough to understand how important Grealish is for your side.

England-Ukraine this Saturday in Rome. If the Ukrainians will neutralize the elastic Sterling, we might have a game!

This is the first time in history when neither the reigning European Champion nor the World Champion had made it to the 1/4 finals. Indeed. Also, Pickford is one of the best keepers I've ever seen on the goal line. I'm just referring to his awesome saves on the line, not him being an amazing universal keeper overall.

The Germans made England look competent! What a lame German team...

Well, just about all my predictions went up in a cloud of stinking smoke. The biggest upset is, of course, the elimination of the reigning World Champions French in the first elimination round. England-Germany and Sweden-Ukraine today.

Ukraine lost two matches, barely won against North Macedonia, still made it to the 1/8, and will be facing Sweden. Talk about being lucky… Tomorrow Wales may pull a surprise.

Argentina - Uruguay is coming up in an hour. This should beast the pants off the E-S match. Agree on Kane. He had just one half-decent cross delivered to him in the second half. If Grealish were put in 20 minutes sooner, it could've ended differently. Manager should've subbed Sterling, not Foden.

Agree. VERY surprised at the Scotts - refreshing, imaginative, enthusiastic. Everything that England was supposed to be, but was not.

Morata is the most overrated forward of his generation. Ukraine beat Macedonia...barely. This Macedonian team is very good, for a country of 2 only million people, even phenomenally-good. My semi-finalists are the French, Portugal, England, and either Belgium or Wales.

I must confess that I didn't watch the match, just the highlights on YouTube. It appeared that it was all Czechs, with the exception of one lad hitting the bar with a nice volley from well outside the box. My Ukrainians played their usual game - a squad, observing which would make one scratch their head and think "How the hell did they make it all the way here?!", until flashes of brilliance spark, and then one says, "I see, that's how." They have no chance...

Tartan army looked rather un-army-like today. They did play their fair share: many will remember them for facilitating one of the greatest goals in Euro history.

In the first half Turkey looked like they may have had a chance for a draw, but after the break they fell apart, opening gaps between midfield and defence, which the Italians competently exploited. Italy got a well-deserved win. They better had, playing in Rome!

Sorry, we tried... It appears to be a scarce title. There's no record of it in the Discogs.

Mickey Bass is selling this title on his website: http://rainbowjazz.com/product-category/cds/cds-physical-copy/ I liked the liner notes for this cd. The author applies the SEND IN THE CLONES designation to the unnamed, but numerous contemporary players. Very apt.

The hints are bountiful...for the Sherlock in you! So, No.2. One musician's name is of the instrument he plays. One musician's names were the names of the presidents. One musician's name is shared with the naval hero. The record label is a rara avis. Well-spied, Thom!

You have collectively solved this one, aside from Track No.2, which has proven to be a tough nut to crack. Even the elusive tracks no.7 and no.9 were found out! Nothin esoteric on no.2, except for the record itself, which, to mind knowledge is rather marginal in terms of its commercial availability. All the band members are well-known to the cognoscenti, such as this fine gathering of unlike-minded gentlemen has been from its inception. Should I start giving away tastefully-chosen hints?

Well done, all around, with Sangrey leading the way. sgcim, good on you for recognizing the late great LB. Collectively, you've got all of them correct, except for numbers 2, 7, 9.

if this type of curatorial service exists, I imagine only in Japan, Tokyo or another large city. I remember walking into Tower in NYC and there would always be knowledgeable sales staff to direct you, undoubtedly in their biased ways, but still guide you to a particular performance’s recording. We all know what happened with that music store chain. Before Tower there was a flagship Sam Goody’s in Times Square, a stuff of legends in regards to stories of the people who walked the floors there. I caught the very tail end of that, in the early 1990s.

SOLD

Still available, waiting for that discerning someone.

If you look closely to the left, you will see a green placard that says JAZZ. That’s the jazz section in this store, which is part of the local chain, Newbury Comics. This section was 10 feet long 10 years ago. I bet there are about as many cds in the Black Sabbath boxed set as there are in the whole jazz section. Go, Kenny!

This may become an amazing family passtime, when my kids put me in the nursing home. Won't be long now.
