My father (87 y.o.) has a lot of trouble hearing and has been through several sets of hearing aids. The low-end models are basically just amplifiers. The higher-end models are definitely adjusted to specific frequency ranges (per audiologist evaluation). Oddly, my father dislikes the high-end ones and insists on using the cheapo ones he got via Internet. OTOH, he dislikes wearing hearing aids in general, and often goes without or uses just one of a pair. But he's also developed Alzheimer's-related dementia, so it's difficult to reason with him.

I'm sure he'll get in, but doubt it'll be unanimous.I remember an era when HoF voters were reluctant to induct relief pitchers. For instance: Bruce Sutter, awesome reliever and father of the split-fingered fastball, had to wait until his 13th year of eligibility! OT, but the DH issue is interesting. I'm a big fan of Edgar Martinez and would like to see him in the Hall, but don't expect to.

Calgary 55 Since I know nothing about the CFL, I went as close as possible to current point spread / over-under indications.

Best birthday wishes!

Some obscurities I hadn't listened to in a long while:

AFAIK, an anonymous donation is indeed anonymous in the "Latest Donation" panel, but the donor's posts still get labeled underneath the avatar as "$ Donor".

My experience with Polk was good (not premium speakers, but good performance for price), but is not recent enough to be relevant. Company could have changed over the years. Re. one-star Amazon reviews, my experience shopping for electronics on Amazon is that even excellent products tend to get around 10% one-star reviews. These speakers only have 3% one-star (and 10% three-star and below), which seems pretty darn strong.

Regrettably late, but best birthday wishes.

I got the impression it was well into the '70s. Exile on Main Street was my personal line in the sand.

I'm pretty sure I heard on some radio program or interview (years ago) that the Rolling Stones frequently recorded their individual parts separately. But I can't find any references/citations.

There are reports Sale did make that shit up and thereby hoaxed the media.

I owned a bunch of "early" Evans recordings, bought the Turn Out the Stars (VV, 1980) box, and the many long renditions of "Nardis" totally put me off late Evans. Interesting article, but I've heard my fill.

Have books 4-6, needed to complete the set. This recording got good reviews and seems to have gone oop.
