Fantastic! Do you remember some names and record labels to go with the faces?

I think the lack of maturity was a selling point! I loved that album! One of the last LPs I loved before I switched over to CDs.

RIP Brian Wilson! He was only 23 when he produced Pet Sounds. In comparison, boy genius Orson Welles was 26 when he made Citizen Kane.

The first album with Coltrane is a favorite of mine. Was the Sextet/Quintet album with Jackie McLean from 1955 as well?

Thanks, Michael! You're the one with the original posts, so if that's the way you want them, I'll plan to do it that way.

Amazon has quite a number of the eBook versions of these old DC Comics for $1.99 each.

Let's talk about listening to the radio broadcasts. In the US, from now until Labor Day, the CBS Sports channel will carry three games per week. We in the US will be unable to watch those games on the league's website cfl.ca. If you scroll down to the bottom of this page, you will see "CFL Games on Regional Radio," and see the links to the radio stations of the nine teams. https://www.cfl.ca/where-to-watch-2025-cfl-broadcast-information/ The English-language stations of the Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto teams are owned by iHeart. There is a workaround to hear those three stations. 1) Set your VPN for Canada. 2) Log into iHeart.com. 3) List in the search tab the city you want. 4) Click on the station that carries the games.
