Darn the luck. My ISP Time Warner Cable has just informed me that I must have $49 cable TV service to get ESPN3.com.

Thanks, sonnymax! I've decided to save up for a new turntable first, and then proceed with this Roku business. At present, I think that ESPN3 is the only thing I would want it for.

Happy Birthday Jim!

May 24... 1963 - Elmore James dies at 45 1974 - Duke Ellington dies at 75

May 23, 1901 - The Cleveland Blues scored nine runs with two outs in the ninth inning to beat the Washington Senators 14-13.

I see that Miles Davis - Take Off is up on Spotify.

Happy Birthday, David! I need to check on what you've been doing at Spotify!

I saw that this issue was discussed on CNN this noontime.

I was a huge fan of Soft Machine back in the day, and bought every album as it came out. But it's my impression that the many live CDs that Cuneiform has released over the years are pretty similar to the original albums. Can anyone recommend an album or two (other than those recommended above) where something unique is found?

Whenever I hear Grazin' in the Grass, I listen to the cowbell!

I had no idea David recorded for Motema! Good luck, David!

Happy Birthday Chuck!

I see that this is now up on Spotify.

I see that this and the other two Road Shows volumes are now up on Spotify. In addition, there are some Concord-owned items on Spotify. I hadn't noticed Concord-owned recordings on Spotify before.

Conrad, that was my favorite too!

I'll be the first to admit that I've been out of touch for years, but am I the only one here who has never heard of Baccara? http://luufy.com/site/post/574?utm_source=m#.U3gzJXYmSUk

Fans of Mannix may not know that its first season was quite different from the others. As I recall, Mannix worked for a corporation, his boss was Joseph Campanella, and emphasis was put on the use of computers.

Well, AT&T is offering "up to" 6 megabits for $14.95 a month here, so maybe I will give them a call on Monday. Thanks, guys!

I am thinking about reducing the speed of my internet service. I could possibly reduce my monthly bill from $45 to $15. What would you say is the minimum speed necessary to enjoy YouTube and other videos? I do not stream movies, etc. Thanks!
