I didn't know there were so many Rega fans here!

The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis - Complete Series - $64.99 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ref=pe_507280_115625320_pe_button/?ASIN=B00C7A8WWO

RIP. I see that a number of '60s Jazz Crusaders albums are up on Spotify.

I have no idea what the record is for how many soldiers killed with one grenade, but I have to think that this is a record for one bullet. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/04/02/british-sniper-kills-6-taliban-soldiers-with-one-bullet/?intcmp=obnetwork

I think that the David Carroll is one woman three times!

It has occurred to me that if I save $25 a month, I should be able to get a good turntable for Christmas. For many years I have been under the impression that the Rega for $500 was the least expensive of any quality. Amazon has the Rega RP-1 for $445.00. http://www.amazon.com/REGA-RP1-TURNTABLE-COOL-GRAY/dp/B004B3GELG However I see a couple for half that amount. Wirecutter.com recommends the Audio Technica AT-LP120-USB. http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-turntable/ Amazon has it for $229.99. http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT-LP120-USB-Direct-Drive-Professional-Turntable/dp/B002S1CJ2Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1396919845&sr=1-1&keywords=turntable+record+player On March 13 the Wall Street Journal recommended the Music Hall USB-1. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303795904579433222363701870 http://musichallaudio.com/usb-1-turntable/ Amazon has that for $249.00 http://www.amazon.com/Music-Hall-MUSIC-HALL-TURNTABLE/dp/B00DWBE0UA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1396932044&sr=8-2&keywords=music+hall+usb-1+turntable Any thoughts on these or others?

I now see this Miles at Fillmore box advertised by Amazon at the bottom of this page!

Happy Birthday 2014 Alison!

Just Shoot Me! - Seasons 1 & 2 - $9.99 http://www.amazon.com/Just-Shoot-Laura-San-Giacomo/dp/B00GOC74I4/ref=pd_ys_sf_s_2644980011_b2_49_p?ie=UTF8&refRID=0RRHNF2GC853N8JAPB7S

Here's something you might enjoy. The league on its website is conducting a poll (with videos) of the best trick plays. http://cfl.ca/article/the-great-debate-best-trick-plays-of-all-time

Hardbopjazz, take a look here!

Here's an interesting article. What president learned English as a second language? What president spoke to his wife in Mandarin Chinese when they didn't want those in the room to understand them? http://www.rosettastone.com/blog/what-american-president-learned-english-as-a-second-language/?cid=sm-bl-ob

Of all the Widow's Taste issues Laurie Pepper has released, my favorite is the one with Roger Kellaway.

Happy Birthday 2014, Allen!

Happy Birthday 2014 jazzkrow!

Happy Birthday 2014 Claude!

Here's an interesting take.

Remember Carl Weathers who played Apollo Creed in the Rocky movies? Here's his BC Lions bubble gum card. https://twitter.com/marcotwentysix/status/451555515349221376/photo/1

I see that we will have it here at 8:00 pm eastern.

Marcus Ball has signed with New Orleans. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=448107 ***** Herb Zurkowski said on the radio that Mike Morreale was quoted as saying that the players would not refuse to play without a contract. The players felt that it was a weak bargaining position to say that, so they replaced him with Scott Flory. The union did not release the vote tally.

Marc Myers writes about this in the Wall Street Journal. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303978304579475603088199062?KEYWORDS=dave+clark&mg=reno64-wsj

RIP. I thought he was an old man fifty years ago!

I looked through my box of unopened CDs today, and realized that I had forgotten all about this one. I'm really enjoying it. I see that it's still up on Spotify.

Happy Birthday 2014 Kyo!
