Great news, Quincy! I have the vinyl, but I'll gladly spring for a CD copy of this one just for the convenience. I generally only break out my vinyl of that period when I'm deep in the throes of nostalgia, which isn't often enough to hear this one!

I wish I could answer, but Lombardi was before my time. Not for following his team, but before my time in the sense of being able to make any intelligent analysis. I most definitely followed football at the time, and was a hard core Packers fan. I remember getting in my first fight at school because another kid had the audacity to claim that Unitas was a better quarterback than Bart Starr. (Yeah, he was right, and I suppose I'd have a strong desire to somehow track him down and apologize, but what the hell, he kicked my ass anyway! ) But I was way to young to have any understanding on a high enough level to say why he was considered great. My guess, not to take anything away from the man, was that he was the first "name coach" of the television era...

If anyone's thinking about it, I highly recommend that book! Great stuff!!

I haven't clicked on the link yet to see what y'all are talking about, but I think most parents would have to have the option to choose their children's sex, and would probably opt for "none at least until after high school".

Yeah, but speakers sound better once they're broken in... Hey! This isn't the audio forum!

Damn! I could have swore that post was by Dan! I saw his baseball avatar and everything...I'm losing it... Sorry, Paul!

You know, that's one fetish I've never understood, Dan! Let's see...scared and clueless versus knowledgable and enthusisastic; oh yeah, that's a tough choice!

Now that I finally got my computer rebooted, I must say, Claude, you're a regular laugh riot... Hey, B3-er, any word on upgrading the software so we have an "ignore" feature? I uh...have someone in mind...

A friend sent me an email that did this once with the text: "Click here for a complimentary beverage holder for your computer!"; seemed a bit more humorous...

Let me get this straight...in England, an indication of being a sicko is wondering what size a woman's breasts are??? Guys, we'd better stay on this side of the pond; we'd be locked up over there!

Get away from me.

You know, I just knew this obsession of yours was going to resurface when they came out as "not lesbians"...

Yes, but he's successfully avoided Zappa as well, and had to do so in a completely different way! Hence, they sound different. Jeez, do I have to explain everything?

I think I'm glad I turned off the signature function...

Sounds like one to look for. Flipping through the Blakey pages of the All Music Guide to Jazz, I see there's a lot of stuff out there from that period that I don't have. There's nothing on my shelves between At the Cafe Bohemia and Ritual. A pretty big hole!

Damn!

So, how many Bay City Rollers lps did you have anyway?????? Remember, I'm older than you think! My weakness was for Archies singles at age 11 or so. Gawd....

Yeah, he was pretty good then. Now he just stinks.

And you're okay!

If Blue Note does this it will be the most conspicous example of price point marketing that I have ever seen. You really do have to give it to them, they do a great job of sellling the same stuff over and over again!!!. Not to me, they won't. What an absurd move...

I just picked this one up myself last month, and I think it fits in well with the other Blakey discs of the period. Okay, it's not essential, but then what is? Good stuff and quite enjoyable. By the way, it's damned good to see you here, Muskrat!

I haven't managed to pick this one up yet, although it's on my list. Just posting to second the recommendation of Times Mirror. That's the one that hooked me on Harrell's writing and led to my discovery of a lot of interesting music by him.

Don't tell Berigan, but I'm seeing a clone of Hillary here...

The older I get, the more often I have this reaction to news like this: My god; he was still alive??? The Captain was definitely my earliest television memory. Though Mom didn't care too much for his idea of making a drum set out of pots and spoons...
