This King album is a favorite of mine. It goes in and out of print. I see that the CD is now going for $39.87, but the cassette is going for only $2.75 http://www.amazon.com/Please-Come-Christmas-Charles-Brown/dp/B0000017BB/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1387950400&sr=1-2&keywords=charles+brown+please+come+home+for+christmas

I haven't yet heard Snoopy's Christmas this year, but in the words of the Red Baron, "Merry Christmas, mein friend!" I hope you all have a joyous and safe holiday.

If I get an Amazon gift card tomorrow, I might pick it up!

The Argos today released Inman early, apparently to allow him to sign an NFL contract promptly. http://cfl.ca/article/argos-release-receiver-dontrelle-inman

I don't think anyone has yet mentioned Charlie Parker's White Christmas on his Complete Live Performances on Savoy box. http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Live-Performances-Savoy-1947-Oct/dp/B00000DC2I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387908436&sr=8-1&keywords=Charlie+Parker+Savoy+live

Let's review what has happened in the past week. The Redblacks got some good players in the expansion draft. They chose Kevin Glenn and Thomas DeMarco for their quarterbacks. They also got Chevon Walker, Keith Shologon (who I think was their best pick) and Marwan Hage (who is long in the tooth, but who I expect will provide leadership in the locker room. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=439107 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=439238 ***** The Bombers named Marcel Bellefeuille as their OC. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=439247 ***** The Als' Andrew Woodruff retired because of concussion problems. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=439335 http://cfl.ca/article/woodruff-retires-alouettes-extend-pair-of-canadians ***** The Stamps named Rich Stubler as their DC. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=439391 http://cfl.ca/article/stubler-named-defensive-coordinator-in-calgary ***** The Bombers released Sandro DeAngelis. I've never understood why he was the best when he was with the Stamps, and hasn't been any good ever since he left them. (This article mentions that the Bombers released Justin Palardy during the season. I don't recall that.) http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=439391 ***** The Argos' Jeff Johnson has retired. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=439461 ***** Denver, Miami, NY Jets, San Diego and Minnesota have shown interest in Dontrelle Inman. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=439478 ***** After spending this year with Dallas and New England, Jason Vega is returning to the Bombers. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=439645 http://cfl.ca/article/happy-returns-vega-re-joins-bombers-for-2014 ***** The Lions have named Khari Jones as their new OC. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=439649 http://cfl.ca/article/lions-hand-khari-jones-keys-to-offence ***** The Redblacks named their coaching staff. http://cfl.ca/article/gibson-among-8-coaching-hires-in-ottawa ***** Top 10 runs of 2013 video http://cfl.ca/video/index/id/93995/autostart/true

RIP. To my knowledge, he introduced to America one of my favorites, pianist Mike Nock. I'll have to pull out my Live at Pep's CD.

Congratulations Chuck! I haven't clicked on this thread before, and I think that that's great news!

You may recall that ca. 1968 the record companies switched over to stereo LPs which played on monaural record players. In the spring of '69, I found a few old mono jazz albums in the shops, I think for $1.99 each. One which I bought was Gerry Mulligan's Historically Speaking. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historically_Speaking_%28Gerry_Mulligan_album%29 This was a re-named with a new cover Prestige album called Mulligan Plays Mulligan. http://www.allmusic.com/album/mulligan-plays-mulligan-mw0000653532 So when I get home and open it up, what do I find but a copy of Soultrane! I could have gone back to the store and returned it for my money back, but I was still new to jazz and learning, so I figured, What the heck? I have never really liked Soultrane. He's just too leather-lunged on that album for me. But a few months later in the fall, I was given a copy of the new Atlantic release The Best of John Coltrane. I loved that one, and that set me on my way to looking for more Coltrane. I have always liked the Prestige recordings, and I have always felt that they have received short shrift from the writers. My recollection of the Downbeat writers of the '60s is that they considered both Coltrane and Miles to be continually improving; so they always favored whatever was new (except for Miles' work with Gil Evans, which they continued to love years later).

Happy Birthday 2013 Swinger!
