That’s a lot of toys so far. I love following this every year.

I had never heard of her until I saw your post. I listened to a few things on YouTube. Her work is very moving, beautiful compositions.

Indeed, amazing. Obviously, a labor of love.

His argument is nonsensical. It’s scary that he's able to help determine who gets into the Hall.

Those Venus labels are rather predictable.

Looks like Rivera’s election won’t be unanimous. Bill Ballou: Mariano Rivera not getting this writer's Hall of Fame vote

Same here. Hope he beats it.

That was terrific. Thanks for posting.

Unusual, not something I would have associated with him although he always struck me as the most talented of the Monkees, e.g. Different Drum. Re the Monkees, they made some good songs that are memorable, imho.

I don’t think it is. Barbara Feldon had a longer face than the person on the cover.

Penny Marshall Did it Her Way

Even though they may not be known by name to the general public, that's still impressive. Thanks.

You may have posted this before or it may be generally known but if you don’t mind me asking, who were your parents?

Not a lot of info about here. The best I could find is that “she was a big band and pop singer. In the 1940s she sang with Sammy Kaye often performing duets with Don Cornell. By the end of the 1940s she began to perform and record under her own name.”

As I wake up this morning it’s 61 degrees in northwestern NJ. Of course, it’s raining out.

Nice! Disc 3

NPR Article Some stations who had banned the song faced backlash from listeners. KOIT in San Francisco removed it, then ran a poll about whether it should be restored. The response was overwhelming and it was restored. https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/12/10/koit-yields-listeners-demands-returns-baby-its-cold-outside-playlist/ Letters to the Editor - New York Times

That drummer is something else. The dancing is about as bad as mine (when I’m under the influence). Amazing clip that bears repeated watching.

Weird in what way. Maybe it’s the quality of the recording?
