RIP. The Man Who Would Be King was my favorite as well.

I ordered it on Friday the 2nd, and it arrived on Monday the 19th. The box is small and lightweight. My birthday is next Thursday, and I'll hold off till then to open it.

I can recommend Brian Wilson's No Pier Pressure, but the music has nothing to do with the beach. ***** If I had the extra money, I'd pick up these three today, from Ace.

Is any of this on the recent Miles/Coltrane release? And is this any better than most of what's available?

David Braley has died. More to follow.

Of course Los Angeles just won the NBA championship as well.

Here are The Age's articles about the game. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl ***** As we North Americans would expect, the first Grand Final played at night had a huge television audience. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl-night-grand-final-a-television-ratings-bonanza-20201025-p568bq.html ***** Of note, Geelong had a 22-point lead in the second quarter, but couldn't keep it. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl-grand-final-live-updates-tigers-cats-square-off-at-the-gabba-20201023-p567wm.html

Richmond completely dominated the final quarter, and won its third championship in the past four years. Richmond 12.9.81 Geelong 7.8.50 Congratulations Richmond Tigers!

Here we go. https://nirs.org.au/get-live-streaming/ It's in the 3rd quarter, and Richmond leads 45-43. ***** At 3 quarter time, it's Richmond 7.4.46 Geelong 6.8.44

I now plan to listen to 3AW at https://www.3aw.com.au/afl-football/broadcast-schedule/ The game will start in 5 hours. Rex Hunt is picking Richmond.

Yes, and Mel Torme and Jackie Wilson as well. Prayers sent!

RIP Spencer Davis! I respected him like I did Herbie Mann and Miles Davis, because they hired band members who were better than them. Maybe Dave Clark fits that bill as well.

The Baird name does not ring a bell. But as I recall all three were at the same location.

Bertrand, I remember three. I think all three were the spring of 1970. Art Blakey, Horace Silver and Roy Haynes. The Haynes was shortly before his Hip Ensemble album came out. Carl Schroeder on piano for sure. Maybe George Adams on tenor. A goofy guy on bass. Only a quartet. Their contract called for a quintet, but the fifth guy didn't show, so the promoter reduced the fee, so Haynes was a little bit in a bad mood. Great, great show. The Blakey set was boring, with everyone going through the hard bop motions which I felt was common at that time. The Silver set was better, but still not all that great. I don't remember any of the Blakey or Silver personnel. As I recall, they were both trumpet, tenor, piano, bass and drums quintets.

I learned just last week that the sales clerk was Dorothy Malone.

I hope one day we will see a list of the LBJS's Washington concerts! I went to a few.

The game will be played in Brisbane Saturday Oct. 24, 6:30 pm local time. I think that translates to Oct. 24, 4:40 am US Eastern time, and 1:30 am US Pacific time. My hunch is that this link will take us to the radio webcast which is free. https://www.rsn.net.au

Geelong has made it to the Grand Final to face Richmond. It will be their first since they won in 2011.
