A terrific player who will always be remembered by Mets fans for 1973 and was an incredible pinch hitter. Today on the Mets telecast, Keith Hernandez was saying that Rusty had 2800 hits (he actually had 2716) and could have gone to an AL team after the 1985 season to get his 3000 but Rusty wanted to stay in NY. He had many charitable causes but chief among them was the fund he set up for fallen officers in the line of duty.

Until my iPod went on the fritz, most of my listening was done through there just because there never seems enough time in the day to listen to my system. I take it you have Spotify, then? I will have to check it out.

What about all of the CDs and LPs you have. Are they just gathering dust?

I had never heard that term before until I just read this thread and looked it up. As far as streaming, although I don't do it, streaming is fine as a complement to our collections but as a substitute it doesn't seem to make sense to me.

PM sent on the JJ.

He was a great ambassador to the sport and a great player for the teams he played on. RIP.

More of the same I suppose. Maybe it will get more people interested in the music. I doubt it but you can always hope.

Listened to these yesterday. Disc 1

I am almost halfway to reading 10 Russian novels to read before you die. http://offtheshelf.com/2014/10/10-russian-novels-to-read-before-you-die/

He probably should be sent down but they might not be able to do that until he struggles when it counts.

There are so many to choose from.

I just finished watching it and thought it was fantastic. I thought all the contributors were great — you could see he affected their lives in some way — but particularly enjoyed John Densmore and Cornel West (especially the part where he confessed he didn’t understand everything Trane was doing; I can relate to that). I plan to watch it again.

I thought as much but they have been recently hit with some copyright infringement cases as they try to go public. https://www.google.com/amp/abcnews.go.com/amp/Entertainment/spotify-hit-16-billion-copyright-infringement-lawsuit/story%3fid=52104636 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.billboard.com/amp/articles/business/7964869/spotify-mechanical-rights-legal-argument-upend-music-industry-recovery

I don’t think that answers the question. If people are listening to the music or paying to listen to it, isn’t the copyright holder is losing a sale. The person who puts it on there is a licensee not the owner. I will need to look into the question.

I don’t use Spotify but wonder if Spotify is legally permitted to do that without the label’s permission.

I’m not sure but it may.

USPS has partnerships with DHL and UPS.

I was just notified by Amazon that the new delivery date is this Friday.

I remember early in this thread someone asked about streaming Mosaics and I recall the answer from Michael Cuscuna as no.

Sign of the times.

That could be the answer as perhaps they only make enough cds to fill a set. On the other hand, they may also make extra sets because in the normal course there will be a certain amount of spoilage. When i was there I saw groups of cds marked as disc 1, disc 3, etc. for particular sets.

I’m thinking it was full but wouldn’t swear to it.

Thanks very much for the help.

I mean Stormy
