Thanks for that heads up, Bertrand! I found it here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/neil-youngs-live-at-the-cellar-door-is-a-window-into-dcs-musical-past/2013/12/09/f61da75e-6104-11e3-bf45-61f69f54fc5f_story.html I disagree with the last sentence. I don't recall anyone staying for more than a week.

I've been listening on Spotify to the new album by Caro Emerald (who I gather is popular in England) called The Shocking Miss Emerald. I like it, but I'm not sure how much credit she deserves. I suspect the album would be as good with many other singers. Anyone have an opinion on her or this album? http://www.amazon.com/Shocking-Miss-Emerald-Caro/dp/B00BS3EMNY/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1386827600&sr=1-1&keywords=the+shocking+miss+emerald+caro+emerald

I see that an old Paul Revere and the Raiders Christmas album which I don't recall called A Christmas Present...and Past has been re-released, and is up on Spotify as well. http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Present-Past-Revere-Raiders/dp/B000AXWHLW/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1386827481&sr=1-1&keywords=paul+revere+and+the+raiders+christmas

Here's something I've just discovered - a weekly (Wednesday) podcast on the CFL. http://www.rougeradio.com/

RIP. I'm pretty sure that I've mentioned this before. I saw the Jim Hall-Ron Carter Duo in Atlanta ca. 1988. (It was great!) A couple of days before the concert, there was an interview with Hall in the paper. With that article was a sidebar briefly listing facts about Hall. One item, as if it were a major accomplishment/award, was that Mosaic chose to put out a box of Paul Desmond with Jim Hall recordings.

Here's something I didn't see ca. Nov.20 - the union's all-star team. http://blogs.theprovince.com/2013/11/21/cflpa-players-tab-three-lions-as-all-stars/

I think some of these are a stretch, but I think you'll enjoy seeing this list. I'm particularly surprised about the Chinese food take-out bucket. (By the way, when I was a boy, 5 & 10's used the take-out buckets to carry your new goldfish home.) http://www.buzzfeed.com/gabbynoone/18-everyday-products-youve-been-using-wrong
