Listened to her clips on her My Space page, and yeah, she sounds good to me. So she's young, still developing but serious, and likes to have fun with her clothes. I really don't see a problem. She'll be old soon enough.

Gadson's hair is kinda... whoa

Yep. Thanks for posting this. A turntable's not an instrument? Yeah, whatever.

Prime smaller-scale Ellingtonia. You should love it. If you don't, you're wrong.

Can't recommend a source, because I've only heard it through a friend, but I can recommend it. Damn fine performance, and I must admit to being shocked at how well Cobham played, although I really shouldn't have been.

Y'all sound like you were a couple of, ahem, free-spirited women.

No Pops Poopadeaux?

It's a big band! Hear a good one in person and then compare it to the record. Big bands are louder than hell when they want to be.

Does he say who else was in the band?

Didn't the NFL decide that the old Cleveland Browns records would stay with the new Browns team as a recognition of the franchise's importance to the community of Cleveland and to the legacy of the NFL in general (ironic, because they began in the rival All-American Football Conference)? And no Colts/Ravens crossover, I'm pretty sure. The Baltimore/Indy line runs uninterrupted. So the Ravens find themselves in the odd position of being a team with a real legacy, but the history of an expansion team. Go figure that.

If I remember my history correctly, there were rumblings in Congress about looking into revoking MLB's anti-trust exemption when the first Senators left, and that got everybody in gear to put a new team in DC, pronto. You probably already know this, but the other AL team in that expansion move was the Los Angeles (sic - they were originally the LA Angels before becoming the California Angels, and now they're back to how they started) Angels, who played their first few seasons in Chavez Ravine, aka Dodger Stadium. Seems that the AL was feeling left behind in the wake of the westward move of the game (the KC Athletics were the league's westernmost team at the time) and wanted to make amends as quicly as possible.

Man, the Browns sucked so hard for so long that nobody's records from that team could survive the Orioles of the late 60s thru the early 80s. Still, it would be nice to see the Orioles pay tribute to Pete Gray & Eddie Gaedel in Camden Yards, if they don't already.

Behind the grange hall?

That would be incorrect, sir. Is this a fairly recent development? Because I seem to remember Kaat & Blyleven being listed as "team record holders" for a while back in the day. And that just didn't seem right.

Glad to hear that he's got a team, and glad to hear that it's the Twins, the franchise where his records belong. After all, if Harmon Killebrew, who made the transition, gets all of his records counted as Twins records, then so should Johnson. Justice is served.

Got to hear that "tribute/remix" album that got released last year, and man is it lame. Corporations ain't got a clue as to how to do this kind of thing. Except... Chuck D teams up with Isacc Hayes & D'Angelo (and, of course, the original record) for a "Sing A Simple Song" that's going on my all-time party list as of yesterday. Might even like it better than the orignal by the time it's over. DAMN is that shit where it needs to be. Still got much love for Chuck D here. If I did the download by song thing, this would definitely be cause for celebration. Fuck the rest of it, pay a buck for this one song and be happy for life.

With what team do his records/stats reside? The old Senators became the Twins, & I don't think he's in their record books. The new Senators became the Rangers, and I know they're not there. So what, is this guy a man without a team? That's weird, and all kinds of wrong.

So, let's celebrate life.
