If that is not the disdainful scowl of a serious m***** f*****, then there have never been any serious m***** f****s in the history of the world, ever. And I'm pretty sure there have been. Why is m***** f*****two words, though?

No question marks on a music stand for me, please. There's enough uncertainty on there already!

Never been there, so I don't know. But if you're saying that he's better prepared to handle the Texas summers than most Americans, you're making me already happier!

Sugar Walls can be quite compelling.

Luckiest man in the history of history:

So, Kenton didn't send the telegram?

Johnny Mann Danny Boy Pretty Baby

Yeah, but if you spill beer all over your shirt backstage, can you you hang it up to dry with a magnetic button?

Seeing how he handles pitching in 100+ degree summer heat, that will definitely be interesting...

Rangers win the negotiation rights to Darvish. $51.7 mil. On so many levels, I do not know how to react, other than....DAMN!

in the plural.

Don't know that they struggled as much as they eventually overextended...they had some big sellers, Cannonball, Mongo's Watermelon Man...pretty sure that Wes, Griff, Bill Evans sold respectably, maybe even Johnny Lytle. I don't think the children's label was a tax dodge, though, not if they put quality into it. Or if it was, it was a tax dodge with a conscience.

Considering the size of catalog, I'm wondering whether this was a tax-break thing, or if Bill Grauer had a serious commitment to providing such product to its target market. That Leo Israel guy worked with both Children's Record Guild & Captain Kangaroo, both of whom had a dedication to quality children's product.

That PDF file shows a fairly intensive catalog!

That's a drag.

This is, like, some of that Nicholas Payton regressive gene talk stuff, right?

I found him a bit windy myself. Smart, but windy.

Explains that, then. Thanks!

Definitely a character. He'll be missed.

Ok, this first one makes sense, but these others...why? And who is/was Leo Israel?

A Golden Record as an Amazon download? How? Why? I've found a "less expensive copy", and all I can say is....wow. And somebody call CPS. However - and this is extra weird - there's an excerpt of Coleman Hawkins playing "Honeysuckle Rose" from The Big Reunion on here. Why, I have no idea.
