I do mind them and he is what we coined in college: a walking penis. Did we get the statcast "how many other parks that was a home run" in? Cause it seems like the Brewers park is something of a travesty like Houston and Philly. Their two in the 8th weren't cheapies but that struck me as one of those "a home run in two other parks" jobs.

Pretty darn close at least at that time. You could generalize to big band sidemen going off on their own / leading record dates.

So do I ... But these albums are ... not good. An artifact of a moment in time (OK I think "Drownin on Dry Land" and maybe there is a "River's Invitation" in there that aren't horrible). If you want Junior Parker with Jimmy McGriff, find this (vinyl only): https://www.discogs.com/master/1063364-Jimmy-McGriff-Junior-Parker-Jimmy-McGriff-Junior-Parker Recorded in 1972 so after these recordings but none of those tunes in sight. It reminds me of how (as I understand it), Stanley Turrentine made his records the way the labels expected during the 70s and early-mid 80s, but his live performances were little different from what he did always in his career. Had to get that off my chest ... I don't know if I will post a breakdown of these tracks,, I am having a hard time finding a way in, aside from Track 1, so far.

Soul Jazz by Bob Porter (could not summon his name that is why I wasn't specific) is definitely recommended.

Astros down three with six outs to go. GoM might get his wish - Yankee kryptonite eliminated. (I say this only hoping to jinx it.)

There is a limit to how much pimping can be done. Even if somehow pimped effectively a Yankees/Dodgers series would attract more eyeballs. Way more eyeballs.

Here's my fave, its stood up to many washings too.

Looks like a good companion to Jazz With a Beat: Small Group Swing, 1940 – 1960 by member @ListeningToPrestige (Tad Richards) as well as the Soul Jazz book. I think I am in ... definitely.

Yes everything is encoded to the Aviary site in MP3 unless its video. I am sure they have wav or FLAC files from the outside vendor that is digitizing reels, for archival purposes.

I just came across Barney Kessel - did not know he appeared at the West End https://aviary.library.vanderbilt.edu/collections/2137/collection_resources/135162

I told Thom my selections would wipe out the bad taste from yours but I know that is entirely in my imagination. 😁

Well I have come up with a unique twist on programming that I just know will be a big hit. So I will take January once again, please.

Strategic rooting at its finest. <green smilie here>

Sale out due to muscle spasms. I wonder how happy Mets fans would be to eliminate the Braves.

Cannot believe six in the eighth and two in the ninth to win. Now we see if Mets try to be competitive or rest everybody and throw a bullpen game. At this point the Braves don't deserve to win and be in.

I bought this for Kenny Drew years ago. Turned me away from Toots forever. Maybe there are others I'd like but not going back to that decision.

One final rooting interest before I concentrate on the elimination of the Yankees: Prevention of a Mets post-season. The odds seem long on a sweep frankly and it is surely a disadvantage for both teams (if there is a split) to have to play two games and then go on the road for a 2 out of 3 elimination series.

Thanks for stepping in, hope you'll continue in 2025. Speaking of, @tkeith - sign up for 2024 was started last September 11 so a tad late on 2025. And hoping @webbcity is ready for his close up tomorrow.

What I feared/expected. Its a pass for me even if I am nearly alone in that decision.

My wife said she saw on the news that the only way out of Asheville was by air. I have a hard time believing that but ... I also read that every road in western NC should be considered closed. That's a lot of roads.

Tropical storm watch for ... Iceland?

I had a colleague who was online this morning at 9 am and conversing and then disappeared. Said he hadn't lost power during the storm but I think they pulled it on him. It's been like 4 full hours now. My other colleague in St Pete has no time frame and neither does my buddy in Tampa - still. It's a mess and I feel like we really dodged a bullet here.
