  1. Same here. They're objects that contain music, not music itself. And Fred should keep things out of reach if he doesn't want them being touched. Parenting 101!
  2. A jolly good time!
  3. 3 CD Media Mail order placed to DG Thursday night, shipped on Friday, got here today. My USPS most definitely does NOT suck!
  4. This cut has been pulling me in for a few days now
  5. That's some hip shit!!!!
  6. nuthin' bout huggin, kissin,, just one word...
  7. Very much so, especially Collector's in its earliest incarnation (Dorothy, what a delight she was!). But all of them, really. Friendly spots who recognized you as a repeat customer and weren't afraid to conversate!
  8. Fwiw, Bubbles was not always the MC. Later on it was Gene Norman, and also who ER this guy is: Etta Jones! Bud Wittem? Is that what his name is?
  9. Quardella Extrica - Sewing Circles Around You!!!
  10. It is. Starts off a little fluffy but gets dark and then keeps getting darker.
  11. https://www.casino.org/vitalvegas/as-confirm-theres-no-financing-for-a-las-vegas-ballpark/ Sell the team indeed!
  12. That I don't recall, maybe? The first CD issue just bimboppled everything for me.
  13. Here's one: https://storyvillerecords.bandcamp.com/album/a-jumpin-jubilee
  14. It has "The Sky Fell Down", which got lost from the stereo version for years. It's a gorgeous piece.
  15. Totally making sense, thanks! That required run rate seems to be a key barometer, being less of a trailing indicator than all the other data that is put onscreen (and there is a LOT of it!)
  16. The original liner notes to Ellington Indigos go all in on the "dance album" concept.
  17. I'd not try to argue one way or another, but it was a TV dance show, not a TV concert show. Past that, any quibbles are not mine Maybe it's no longer obvious, but there used to be a segment of the public for whom "big band" and "dance band" we synonymous. This show (a series, actually) is a tangible reminder of that. Like Lawrence Welk's show without the staged numbers. I've got a few episodes on VHS, and it's interesting that Duke made very few accomodations to the dancers. They tried, and on something like Tutti they had it, but a lot of the other tubes were like, ok,I guess we'll just stand here and listen. He was the only one to play it like that. This shows should have been more available than the have been. I wonder what the block has been.
  18. Thanks. What I was asking was from a fan perspective, like, ok, it's going to take a true miracle vs well, they can still pull this one out with a bit of luck and some sustained power hitting. I've seen a few matches where it was literally down to the last over, and some where there was virtually no way, with a lot falling somewhere in between. So at what point does an educated spectator figure where the game is in terms of probable outcome? Is there a win probably formula at any given time on the bottom inning?
  19. The Dave Burns and Bill English sides are both excellent, but neither are likely to be included. No John Hammond connection.
  20. The WGN show was a staged dance show, so yes and yes. Staged or not, people definitely danced. It was. TV dance show.
  21. Ok, this is cool - at the game Sunday night, my son bumped into a friemd of his who's working with the MLC TV team. Tonight he tells my son that he's putting in requests for two sets of two comp tickets. One for the final regular season match (in which Texas plays), and then one for the first playoff game (in which Texas issomewhat likely to play. Glad to go to one of the two, delighted if both come through! Oh, what's a good rule of thumb as to when a match is likely out of reach? Is there one?
