When Don Coryell was the coach of the Chargers, he once asked his assistants what one player they would want to have on fourth and goal to go. All said Jim Brown except one who said Joe Namath. Coryell then said that he would choose Jackie Parker.

Thank you, Jim!

RIP. I remember him well when he played for both the Red Sox and the Celtics. Jim, it's great to see a Post Cereals card again!

Laurie Pepper has released a Milcho Leviev solo from an upcoming release. https://artpepper.bandcamp.com/track/free-for-the-4th-milcho-leviev-solo

This is a vocals album. I like it, and wish there were more people making this kind of music. This is not as jazzy as Merrill's last album.
