Redskins, wow. NOT happenin!

I believe around here it's spelled Nessa-sary.

Arrived today.

Both are GREAT tunes & much fun to play! (and hard & tricky)

Nawlins! How bout that comeback!

Swingin' Safari will always be the Match Game theme to me. Love that Fender bass with the pick! Makes me think of the soundtracks for those 60s Don Knotts movies.

No posts since August? Where's catesta? Tonight, homemade vegetable soup and a club sandwich (using leftover smoked turkey breast from yesterday).

Arrived today. Thanks again for the heads up, Ray!

Just got the shipping notice!

Same here. *crossing fingers* Did you guys happen to order them from Newbury Comics? I happened to order a copy from Newbury today through the Amazon marketplace (before reading your posts here). I got mine from Newbury through Amazon. As did I.

Aloc, you are always very articulate. I just wanted to understand what you were saying (me being a trombonist and all).

This one? Yes. As Dick Sudhalter writes of the two different takes by the Jenney band, "though his methods and the way he hears the song remain consistent, he never repeats an idea or construction in any but a general way." I personally heard both J.J. and Carl Fontana sing the praises of Jack Jenney. That was enough to convince me to check him out, and I immediately became a fan.

This one?

Same here.

So aloc, is "devastatingly depressing" what you get from the Israel selections? I might go with "hauntingly beautiful" or something like that. I find the beautiful trombone ballad to be a comfort on a gloomy day. Like JJ's Funny Valentine from Proof Positive (Impulse). Or Carl's Polkadots and Moonbeams from The Great Fontana. Or Teagarden's St. James Infirmary. Or Rosolino's Lover Man. Or Urbie's Ave Maria.

When I ordered it said "only 5 available" so we'll see if it actually ships.

Geez, I put my order in as soon as I read the thread. So what's the problem here, rookie- first time at the rodeo?

Sounds great! Congrats- I expect this will be a lot of fun for you. As one of my mentors once said, "Just have fun and don't fuck up!".

Wow, the turkey turned out GREAT! Took about 4 hours. EDIT: 4 hours of cooking after 4 hours of brining.

Plus, when I had the flu it came in handy. The probe caused a bit of discomfort, but it seemed to be accurate. So, who's coming over for dinner?

One gadget from which I've gotten good use is the wireless temperature probe w/remote. You set the desired target temperature and the remote beeps when it's done. No more overcooking and no need to continually lift the lid to manually check the meat temp. I have a wired one for use in the oven, but the wireless is great for the grill and smoker. Turkey is at 170, about ten more degrees and it's done.

Loved all your Dirty Harry films, BTW. Wrong Eastwood. I'm Charles. I figured as much. Just havin a little fun......

You apparently are suffering from an advanced case of good taste.

Loved all your Dirty Harry films, BTW.

Holy crap! Had to snag that Fantasy box. Already have the others. Thanks tjazz!
