  1. Indeed I'd have no excuse not to know John Jay! Then again I've had a copy of the Federalist papers on my shelves since 1985, I'd say.

  3. I am curious about this as I definitely am in need of both new frames and a new prescription. Funny I see above so many names I've never heard before, only keep seeing those Warby something or other commercials. I always have to discount any of the starting prices listed as I know my lenses are going to go higher for some reason. One positive lately is that I always hated those tiny, square or rectangular frames that got so popular. The last time I got new frames I couldn't find anything I liked until the clerk at Lenscrafters lifted up the top of a padded box to reveal a few aviator frames they didn't even display. Now I understand aviators have made a comeback so hopefully I can find something when I get around to this necessary expense.
  4. Yes batters who aren't swinging from the heels (trying to hit home runs all the time) do try to place the ball in a particular area or to elevate the ball and get it to the outfield. For example, a runner at third base with fewer than 2 outs can "tag up" (keep his foot on the base until the ball hits the outfielder's glove) and score from third even though it wasn't a "hit". Or, and this is not very common nowadays, but with a runner at 1B, the manager may put on the "hit and run" in which the runner takes off on the pitch, seemingly to "steal" second base, and the batter tries to hit the ball thru the spot vacated by the defender who went to cover second base. Or good hitters recognize a pitch away and "go with the pitch" to hit it to the opposite area of the outfield. "Bat control" is a huge part of baseball. Basically what a famous ballplayer said generations ago always applies: Hit 'em where they ain't - Wee Willie Keeler. (Otherwise though good hitters are trying to hit the ball hard, and on a line.) Regarding Sweet Caroline it has been a Red Sox staple for I don't know, a decade or more? No reason whatsoever though I think Neil Diamond has connections to Boston or New England. Did they play it in the "7th inning stretch" or in between top and bottom of the 8th? If they played it when they should be playing Take Me Out to The Ballgame, then that's just blasphemy. (and reminds me of when the Busch family owned the St Louis Cardinals - they'd actually play the Budweiser Song ("Here comes the King") during the seventh inning stretch, and then to make sure you realized their offensiveness, they'd play Take Me Out to the Ballgame in the middle of the 8th inning.) Glad you enjoyed it and would come back, I've never watched Cricket for more than a few minutes so can't compare for action. There is relatively little "action" but the beauty of the sport is in the athleticism (try hitting a round object with a round bat that's being thrown at 100 mph), the teamwork on the field (I'm sure you saw a double play or two - think of how perfect 90 feet between bases is when a groundball goes from one player to another to a third, and catches that runner just barely. Any different length between bases and double plays would always happen, or never happen.) And, of course, the lack of a clock. I think that's something shared with Cricket.
  5. Listened twice when I got it now finally editing the raw wav file to clean tracks.
  6. Too bad the Jays and Orioles are so bad this POS franchise won't finish where they belong: the cellar, a la 2012, 2014, 2015.
  7. Subsequent "Definitive" releases often had different bonus material than the first round of CDs had. Of course if you are not concerned with completeness I am sure one CD release covers the material as well as another. Certainly it includes the master tracks that were actually selected for the LP issue.
  8. Thanks Daniel!
  9. I've not seen photos of Freddie Green wearing glasses. I always thought "KB" by general appearance and that he was based in LA at the time (I assume).
  10. Have always wondered whenever I catch the film - just who is in the Basie Band for that 5 seconds or however long it lasts? Just found a snip of the scene, so who is on screen? I'm sure its KB on guitar (though I don't know that he ever actually performed with Basie otherwise?). But who are the reed section?
  11. This is a contract dispute about living up to the terms of the contract and you won't find out about the terms of the contract until discovery? Don't all parties to a contract get, you know, a copy of the executed contract?
  12. In terms of filing a cause of action in a timely manner in relationship to the date of the fire? Doesn't the fact that Universal lied to everybody about what was lost in the fire have an impact on such a defense?
  13. I was recently thinking about the Nessa Eddie Johnson recording and came to wonder about other recordings after he went back into the music scene .... I guess I slept on this one and his Delmark leader date because I didn't hear him until Chuck reissued the Indian Summer CD. Both of the Delmark CDs are terrific and I think I atoned for my slowness by snagging this one. Lejeune is a younger boogie woogie type pianist and he and Eddie are a terrific pair. Anyone who sees this should snag it.
  14. Faxes ain't done yet - anyone who works in an insurance office gets at least one a day from a lender needing to update the mortgagee clause on a homeowner's policy. And all of them take faxes back with proof of the change.
  15. I don't know someone who has that one? Someone who has a few Wes CDs and heard about new archival recordings but isn't an insane collector who has to have it all?
  16. Is this reflected in Movie Mars rating? Or are there too many people buying the popular stuff for the randomness of the esoteric stuff's availability is washed out?
  17. Is it possible there are people interested in Wes who don't want every single thing Resonance has put out? They must think so ...
  18. I certainly understand the frustration, I have not had an issue with Movie Mars in the past. I've also never paid attention to when cards are billed and have always assumed cards must be billed in order to even start the process of shipping or procurement. Since I can float 10-$20 without impacting the grain or hay budget for the horses I've never cared about it ... anyway they pissed you off so don't use them again. In my world that is called Permanently Banned (tm). Previously Import CDs got that designation, and its been so long I can't even recall the circumstances. And much more recently, Beef O'Brady's is gone from our rotation, for making me complete the take out order payment online without ever making it clear that I was ordering from one that is 20 miles away, not the five mile away closest one. (in the Tampa area you can't piss in the wind without hitting a Beef O'Brady's so a little clarity would have been helpful). I called the location and got some cockamamie BS about they don't have access to the online payment system so you're SOL, call your card issuer.
  19. It's under Printup because I was pretty consistently picking up his BN releases back then. But I think it will be re-filed with Hubbard discs as I found this one located there, Apparently Javon Jackson was the go-to tenor for this kind of thing. Eddie Henderson, Marcus Belgrave, Wallace Roney but not so much interaction, only one track with more than one trumpeter.
  20. Had it for 20 years (a group of Young Lions playing a classic songbook - that was a no-brainer to me back then if not now) maybe I should pull it out for a spin. Now where did I file that one .... Hagans, Printup or Hubbard? Printup or Hubbard, I'm betting.
