Thanks for your thoughts John - glad some tunes appealed, and congrats on tin tin deo it is indeed Sonny Criss! However my magic 8 ball says that Sunflower is a Freddie Hubbard composition.

3/4 of the way to a 100:

I wa I going to say,. not a glare but a delightful Keith Richards death-warmed-over look.

Perhaps the rat died and someone placed the bottle against the carcass and snapped the photo?

There are no "official" recordings of "Honky Tonk" with Percy but in my work on his sessionagraphy I discovered two things of interest: #1, For a period in the early 80s he had bookings as "Honky Tonk Part 3" - so he definitely used that connection to Doggett's to reference his most successful tune which we really kinda know Percy didn't have anything to do with ... Here's Doggett describing how the tune came to be (if it isn't cued right it starts at 17:35) and really interestingly, #2, I just heard a recording of Percy with the Oliver Jackson Trio and Percy's own intro to Honky Tonk states that he collaborated with Doggett on the composition (along with Billy Butler). I guess we'll never really know all of the principals are gone now ...

Couldn't handle the electric bass? I figured a bit of a curve ball for those familiar with my tastes and predilections.

Track 4 not from the last decade ... not Bob Stewart on tuba ... and not Tabackin on track 10 ... or 14 either.

Nailed the tunes Bill though I figured track 1 and 2 were among the easiest(?). Track 4 is not Hodges, but its also not 1950s era. Track 5 is mostly not American, actually. Track 11 not Leo Wright.

Here's the familiar link: http://thomkeith.net/index.php/blindfold-tests/ 14 tracks, a little over 90 minutes of swing-bop-hardbop straightahead goodness. (If using the player be sure to select 190 as it is second on the list not at the top). Seriously no track was selected for it's BFT factor, all for their listening pleasure. And I think the sequencing is topflight too. So if nothing else it should be a pleasant way to pass an hour and a half. A word to lurkers: Please take a moment to post even if it is to only note the tunes you hate. Hell, bring back the classic DKDC(tm) (Don't Know Don't Care) acronym. Compilers are appreciative just to know someone is out there checking their comps out, because if nothing was posted, then nothing was heard. And if you want credit just for Name That Tune, just about anyone can get 10 out of these 14. Thanks in advance to all participants in the inaugural 2020 BFT!

Or finds from the Smithsonian, he said cryptically.

I don't think Price is dealable given health concerns and cost. Eating most of his salary sounds stupid compared to letting him pitch for the Sox. He's proved he can pitch in the post-season two years ago, maybe they can get lucky one more season with the old gang together. That's why I wanted something done on the bullpen side. Soon enough Betts will be gone, Price and Sale will be firmly on the downside of their careers, stinking it up on a regular basis and they'll be like the Cubs: One incredible core that won only one championship.

The one player I thought the Sox might go after to do something about their horseshit bullpen. Instead all I have to hope for is that Betts doesn't get traded, Price and the tall skinny lefty have bounce back years, and that they squeak into the second wild card if everything goes right.

Well I just had to post a new version - thought the Frey part of the rant could be improved, and to follow Hitler's speech patterns better. https://www.captiongenerator.com/1608652/Eagles-touring-wo-Glenn-Frey-v2

Has anyone who had the tape that circulated in the trading community verified that this is the same?

Yes he is entitled to his opinion. But I ask you, was that opinion or trolling douchebaggery of an epic nature? Let's review: He didn't attack or attempt to refute Allen's opinion. He made an obnoxious assertion about the true reasons for his opinion, with a gratuitously "clever" capper ("odd."). Then he declared that he has Allen on Ignore, chose to view his post, posted that troll-comment, and has ignored all comments from Allen since. That's like punching someone in the nose and running away. Or cutting a fart and getting on your best poker face while you stroll out of the room. Epic. Douchebaggery. Trolling. Your mileage may very well vary. And I don't intend to hold this against Justin. But as Tom said, can't we all get along? If Justin had simply adhered to his already-known aversion to Allen's posts nothing would have happened further. He could have done what I suggested in my prior post: reveal the message from the member you don't like to read if you feel you must, roll your eyes or whatever, and move on.

So let me get this straight Justin. You have Allen on ignore. You don't like or respect him much. You unblock his post and can't just go on about your visit, you have to not only respond but do it in th the most obnoxious way possible???? The whole Google translate thing was a total douchebag move. Calling it as I see it. Musician or not, Allen is entitled to his opinion and ascribing it to resentment or jealousy is ridiculous.. You don't like Allen. You have him on ignore. I've had people on ignore too. When I am moved to read what someone wrote, I read it, generally say "whatever" and move on, comfortable in the knowledge that I made the right ignore decision. Try it.

Thanks Bill. Exactly what I was thinking. And for the record, the caption generator has a limit on the # of characters in the title, which is why this took extra long on Sunday. I had the exact title the Captain suggested, but being too long, the generator is coded to fail, and it re-loads the launch page with every single sentence entered gone and you must start over from scratch. I may still revise this anyway because I worked up some changes in the Eagles rant that I think are even funnier. It would have been published already but ... that 50 character limit sure is a pisser.

The "missing" information is provided in the title of the video: Hitler Reacts to the Eagles touring without Glenn Frey. Anyone who notes the video title can read between the lines of what I have Hitler actually say and know exactly what he is reacting to. As for the whole Crepes sub-rant, I just played off of the German sound (is it a name?) that does indeed sound like crepes, which immediately made me think of the Seinfeld episode and it pretty much wrote itself. I also thought it was funny that while Hitler is preparing to rant and rave, his mind has gone back to that morning and his hot crepe sauce spray. The joke in my mind is that he has been waiting for the opportunity to rant about it, and now that he's going to freak out over the Eagles still touring despite Glenn Frey's death, he's going to work that in to it. And when he's said his peace, he's more calm, and he returns to the more important topic of the Eagles, which resolves into his determination to still see them anyway. I have to amend my list of required elements for these things: you have to include Hitler directing some people to leave before the room nearly empties. So many of these just ignore what is happening on screen. Anyway, I am thinking of a revised version did either of my suggested replacement sentences sound good? Edit to add: I am not going to change the sentence when she is comforting her. It makes more sense as it is, because the girl is already crying earlier in the scene. It doesn't make sense that she is the cook and might get executed for creating a crepe that burned the Fuhrer. but thanks for your feedback.

Such as, Next time, make sure you offer him the ice cream float. Or I'll protect you. You can stay in my attic with that nice Jewish family. ?

I'll say JFC instead. Obviously the Steinbrenners have decided they can never have another full decade of utter futility ever again while the family owns the team. This is a reaction to that, I am sure. I'll remind you all that six weeks ago he wouldn't wear his uni or hat because his contract had ended minutes earlier and wore that f-ing Boras hat instead.

Thanks to all who liked it. I am already thinking of revisions I should have considered. and may yet do. And for the record, I have to say that if you want one of these to work there are two requirements: The first two sentences of Hitler's rant has to end on the same word - whatever that word is - just as he says the same word. And you gotta come up with an intelligent way to incorporate "and Stalin!"
