Exactly. W/O Schlitten's massive financial backing of his films, where would Amalric be today? I doubt he's have all those endorsement deals, that's for sure. OTOH, you gotta wonder about a guy who won't invest a dime in his own brother's recordings. Then again, family matters get complicated. Or maybe it's the other way around, maybe Chick ain't down with La Cinéma Francais & don't want his brother's stinkin' money, thank you beaucoup! Stuff happens, ya' know.

Tobin to the DL, Kirkman to AAA..replaced by a catcher (Taylor Teagarden) &...Brett Tomko???? I comfort myself in remembering that the pitching staff was in far worse shape last year at this time than it is now. Still...

KNBC would be a local station, no doubt an affiliate of the national network NBC. So, the KNBC archives might well be the place to start looking.

I feel you on that one.

Have you considered backing up all your relevant data and just getting a new computer? Unless that's just not financially possible, it sounds like it's time, in all honesty. The ones today got mega big everything (including monitors!) & Windows 7 really does work better than XP. In the meantime, it seems as if your browsers are having issues with site's security certificates... highly unlikely that they're all bad...it might be worth the effort to uninstall/reinstall each browser...or not. I'mhardly a guru, but I've plowed my way through enough things to have an at least halfassed opinion! Tell you what, though - for me, computers are like transmissions on cars. Comes a point where I'd just as soon go ahead an buy new than I would fix old.

Chick still does some good work, so "downhill spiral" might be a bit rash, but yeah, he'd definitely done better if Don Schlitten had been producing him all these years, I do believe, if for no reason than that there would be more exclamation marks. Then again, Schlitten's put all his money in the Mathuey Amalric basket, and who can blame him? Producing movies is a much more sure investment than is producing jazz records, especially when it's your brother.

Genuine concern about this: http://www.bbtia.com/home/2011/4/20/whats-wrong-with-colby-lewis.html There's no room for error w/Rangers starting pitching right now, no dependable proven middle/long relievers (yet...the young guys may or may not grow into the role as the season progresses), so this is worrisome. Last night's pitching, all of it, was unacceptable in every way.

leads to leads to Hey, that makes as much sense as anything, right?

Interesting that EMI puts out a mega-jumbo jazzbox w/no Blue Note music in it...are they "saving" the label for its own box and/or brand-name, or what, exactly?

Free-ish interpretations of spirituals. Not all that it could have been, but definitely worth a listen or three, imo.

Ok, here is Don Schlitten: And here is his brother, Chick Corea: Mystery solved!

Hugh Hopper Peter Cottontail Ben Webster

Here's one of his brother:

Yeah, I know you got some bad mojo towards the guy & I'm sure you got good reason. All I'm sayin' is that so far, the guy plays a damn good game on the field, and he's raised his average 30-40 points over the last week, and most importantly, he seems to fit in with the team vibe. MAybe it's a good fit on all levels. We'll see. All I can say is...

We all knew what you meant , dude, twas just a little goofin' on a goof.

Don Schlitten is Chick Corea's brother? I've long suspected as much.

On the for real side, I am really taking a liking to Adrian Beltre. Very much liking what he's bringing to this team.

Wow, Colby Lewis still looking for his inner Colby Lewis, Mason Tobin & Michael Kirkman in a battle for that coveted "Anybody But HIM" spot in the bullpen left by the demotion of Mark Lowe...this, ladies and gentlemen, this is the game within the game! Real baseball resumes tomorrow, or so I'm told.

Looking like the streak will end this evening, but I would like to know if it ends as a record or not. I remember those '84 Tigers too. Magic, they were. Oh well, at least Brooks Robinson lives:

Where's the center of Ohio that's not fun?

I'm an Organissimotarian.

YEAH!!!
