Thursday is Opening Night! So let's wrap up 2021. 2021 Grey Cup Final https://www.cfl.ca/2021/12/13/gc108-recap-winnipeg-33-hamilton-25/ https://3downnation.com/2021/12/12/blue-bombers-complete-comeback-beat-hometown-ticats-to-win-108th-grey-cup/ https://3downnation.com/2021/12/12/bombers-best-ticats-repeat-as-grey-cup-champs-15-other-thoughts/ ***** The best plays of 2021 https://www.cfl.ca/category/highlights/ I want to point out the Kicking plays. The league has ranked #10 and #9 what I think were the two most memorable plays of the year. In fact, I don't think we will ever see a better coffin corner kick for the rest of our lives as what we see at #10. https://www.cfl.ca/2021/12/24/top-10-special-teams-plays-of-2021/ Interceptions https://www.cfl.ca/2021/12/22/top-10-interceptions-of-2021/ Touchdowns https://www.cfl.ca/2021/12/27/top-10-touchdowns-of-2021/ Catches https://www.cfl.ca/2021/12/29/top-10-catches-of-2021/ Top 10 Plays https://www.cfl.ca/2021/12/31/top-10-plays-of-2021/

Ken, I remember how Glavin in particular with perfect control would always get the called strike with a pitch six inches off the plate.

Ronnie Hawkins has died at 87. RIP. I enjoyed seeing him perform in Hamilton at the '96 Grey Cup festivities. Rocker Ronnie Hawkins, dies at 87, patron of Canadian rock (msn.com)

I picked up Hollywood Madness when it was new. Perhaps everyone's experience was different, but I wasn't seeing better music in the record stores at that time. It wasn't that I was a big fan, but I saw him as a keeper of the flame in those days.

I've wanted J.J. Jackson's Dilemma for quite some time, because Dick Morrissey, Dave Quincy and Terry Smith were in the band.

Almost all of my offers have been rejected. I've been thinking about keeping track of their sale prices, and then offering one at a future date.

94 rated! They don't come much better than that! I'm finding that cigars are consistently better constructed than they were twenty years ago, but not as delicious as my favorites were. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Guys, I'm going to be spending considerably less time on the internet for the foreseeable future, and will not be able to post on this thread as I have in the past. I will try to maintain occasional updates, but no guarantees. Everyone is welcome to contribute in my place!

This semi-annual deal (for Father's Day) is on again today. https://www.cigarsinternational.com/shop/10-packs-free-20-ci-bucks-2022/2046411/

Apple has announced the discontinuation of its last iPod, the Touch. https://www.engadget.com/apple-discontinues-ipod-touch-161433001.html ***** Open the Books estimated yesterday that pharmaceutical companies and other third parties secretly paid the two leaders of the NIH, Francis Collins and Anthony Fauci, and others $350 million between 2010 and 2020. The NIH's database is "highly redacted."

I have a number. Rhino issued mine in the early '90s. All were oldies. I think four songs each.

My train set was American Flyer S gauge. Is that what you mean by "standard?"

Didn't Michael Cuscuna find that sales decline when the retail price is more than $120.00? I can imagine that the smaller profit per cd combined with a price tag ceiling resulted in the 13-18 disc boxes we saw last year from Nucleus, Barbara Thompson and Henry Cow.

CELEBRATE MINGUS' CENTENNIAL BIRTHDAY TODAY REFRESH YOUR JAZZ PLAYLIST WITH MINGUS THREE DELUXE EDITION OUT NOW INCLUDING JAZZ STANDARDS "YESTERDAY," "I CAN'T GET STARTED" AND "LAURA" TWO MINGUS ORIGINALS "BACK HOME BLUES" AND "DIZZY MOODS" Rhino / Parlophone Celebrate Jazz Month And Honor The Icon’s Legacy With A New Deluxe Edition Of His 1957 Album, Mingus Three, Featuring Eight Recently Discovered Unreleased Session 2CD, 2LP, And Digital Versions Are Available Today, On His Birthday “I look forward to the day when we can transcend labels like jazz and acknowledge Charles Mingus as the major American composer that he is.” – Guggenheim Foundation “For sheer melodic and rhythmic and structural originality, his compositions may equal anything written in Western music in the 20th century.” – The New Yorker “Mingus was something else, man. A pure genius, I loved him.” – Miles Davis LOS ANGELES – Rhino / Parlophone is celebrating Jazz Appreciation Month with one of the most influential figures in 20th-century American music, Charles Mingus, who would have turned 100 today, April 22. This year, Mingus’ legacy is in the spotlight with the release of the deluxe edition of his album, Mingus Three, for his centenary as a virtuoso bass player, an accomplished pianist, bandleader, and composer. Rhino/Parlophone salutes Mingus with an updated version of his 1957 trio recording with pianist Hampton Hawes and drummer Dannie Richmond. The seven original tracks have been expanded for the upcoming release, with eight previously unreleased session recordings discovered by chance recently in the London Parlophone vaults. The bonus tracks include different takes for all but one album track (“Laura”), plus two blues originals. MINGUS THREE: DELUXE EDITION is available today, April 22 – Mingus’ birthday – as a 180-gram double-LP set ($34.98) and as a double-CD set ($24.98). The music is also available on digital and streaming services today. The music comes in a replica of the original record sleeve issued by Jubilee Records and a booklet featuring photos from the era. The set also includes new liner notes written by jazz arranger and pianist Sy Johnson, who collaborated with Mingus in the 1970s and helped arrange his 1972 album, Let My Children Hear Music. He writes: “The Mingus Three session was booked for July 9, 1957. Mingus and Hawes brought their histories to the studio: Mingus with a long, powerful record of activism, outrage, and political attack anchored in serious music-making, and Hawes’ fanfare of jazz awards and huge success—and he could play!! The date would ultimately become a dialogue between Mingus and Hawes with punctuation from Richmond.” Mingus recorded the session in a day with Hawes, a childhood friend who’d been in bands with Charlie Parker and Dexter Gordon, and drummer Dannie Richmond, whose association with the bassist lasted over two decades. Mingus Three included four standards (“Yesterdays,” “I Can’t Get Started,” “Summertime,” and “Laura”), two Mingus originals (“Back Home Blues” and “Dizzy Moods”), and a group jam “Hamp’s New Blues.” The bonus material provides a fresh glimpse into the principal players and offers alternate – not lesser – versions of album tracks, including swinging takes of “Summertime” and “Hamp’s New Blues.” Mingus’s music continues to reach new audiences through artists like Mingus Big Band (directed by his widow Sue Mingus), Kamasi Washington, Chrissie Hynde (whose latest album includes a Mingus cover), Candace Springs, Elvis Costello, Gang Starr (who samples him), and Joni Mitchell (who wrote lyrics to his music). His musical legacy is still ongoing and will continue to play an essential role in music history for many generations to come. # # # [facebook.com][twitter.com][instagram.com][soundcloud.com][itunes.com][spotify.com][google.com/music][youtube.com/music][tiktok.com] Artist Title Time Charles Mingus Yesterdays (feat.

LIFO - My CDs and LPs are filed merely by how recently they have been played. Except... I file my bossa nova, surf guitar and surfing records separately (We've discussed this elsewhere.) for summer listening. I also file separately my newest (to me) albums, by year.

Dan, I don't see much difference between #2's first and third options. But thanks for this!

My apologies. I didn't look beyond the article mentioned. The site was from bing. I thought they avoided that sort of thing.

Rooster, I saw a comment the other day which you might enjoy. It said... Nowadays you have only two options. You can either be a conspiracy theorist, or you can be a coincidence theorist.
