So we have T20, we have the Hundred, and now we have...Sixty Strikes !!!!!! And yes, it is coming here: https://www.axios.com/local/dallas/2024/08/12/cricket-sixty-strikes-dwayne-bravo-shahid-afridi T20 is fine with me, but I will try to hit a bit of this, just to see some more live professional cricket.

How did that happen?

I ate whale once, many years ago. It was not at all good!

I need to get to that Barry Guy stuff. What I've heard has been wonderful.

Padres are proving to be an easy team to like and a fun team to watch. At this point anyway...

The Tim Corblock Singers - They Used To Do That (But They Don't No More)

"brought" is the key word there...my memory (fwiw) is that somebody either gave him those tapes or else cut him a really sweet deal for them as a parting gesture. I seem to recall somebody telling how Cannonball actually tried to somehow save Riverside, or offering to. The truth is out there somewhere...unless it's not? Maybe the same way as this one did? That label got weirder and weirder as the 70s rolled on....

Brazil '.65 recorded for both Atlantic & Capitol: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1237687-Sérgio-Mendes-Brasil-65 Per: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sérgio_Mendes#:~:text='" Alpert and Moss signed Mendes,Brasil '66" with A%26M. All of Mendes' jazz albums for Atlantic Records, through Nesuhi and Ahmet Ertegun, had low sales. Richard Adler suggested that Mendes and the group sing in English, as well as Portuguese as Mendes had demanded, and Adler sought new English-based material such as "Goin' Out of My Head" by Teddy Randazzo and Bobby Weinstein. In order to sing these songs properly in English, Adler suggested that the group find two American female singers who would sing in both English and Portuguese. Adler called his friend Jerry Dennon and A&M Records founders Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss, and arranged for an audition for Mendes' new group, which was dubbed "Brasil '66.'" Alpert and Moss signed Mendes and his group to A&M Records.[3] Adler then went to the Ertegun Brothers at Atlantic Records and sought to have them release Mendes from his Atlantic Jazz contract. Ahmet agreed to allow him to record albums under the name "Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66" with A&M. Mendes was not at this meeting, only Adler and Ahmet Ertegun. Alpert took over as producer for the A&M albums, and the group became a huge success with their first single, "Mas que Nada", by writer Jorge Ben. So it would appear that "Brazil '66" technically got signed by A&M, not Mendes, although his release from his solo Atlantic contract fixed that. Ah, show biz!!?

I think that Bill Grauer gave those tapes/albums to Cannonball as a gesture of thanks, and also one of regret that they could not longer do business together due to the label's financial implosion.

Charlie Walker!

Always loved the way that Charlie held the form on this one. Pure groove with him and Billy. The legendary Plugged-In Charlie!

Kitty belly got IMAX.

Both Haden and Carla Bley are gone. And are missed.
