Calgary Stampeders 26....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 22 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4624446 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=431798 Good game! The lead changed hands a few times. It looked like the Ticats were going to win it, but the Stamps scored late to pull it out. Henry Burris crossed the 50,000 yard mark with a touchdown pass to Onrea Jones. ***** Edmonton Eskimos 25....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 7 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4624653 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=431874 Boring game. There were three iffy calls in the first quarter, and they all went against the Bombers. They seemed to lose all the steam because of that, and the score was 17-0 after one. There was very little scoring by either team after that. ***** Toronto Argonauts 31....Saskatchewan Roughriders 29 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=431875 Another good game! The Argos owned the first and last quarters, and the Riders owned the middle two. The Riders scored a touchdown very late, but failed on the two-point convert which would have sent it into overtime.

Happy Birthday 2013 gslade!

PILOO RECORDS TO RELEASE A CD/DVD SET RANDY BRECKER'S THE BRECKER BROTHERS BAND REUNION with DAVID SANBORN MIKE STERN WILL LEE DAVE WECKL GEORGE WHITTY ADA ROVATTI and others... AVAILABLE ONLINE SEPTEMBER 24, 2013 AVAILABLE IN STORES OCTOBER 8, 2013 New York, September 13, 2013 - Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, trumpeter Randy Brecker and his younger, sax-playing brother Michael helped define a sub-genre by blending sophisticated jazz harmonies and searing solos with slamming funk grooves and a visceral energy that grabbed rock ears. The Philly-born Brecker Brothers set the tone for a generation of aspiring musicians who followed. "When the band started back in the day, the original intent was to do a Randy Brecker record," Randy explains. "We were rehearsing tunes every week with Michael, Don Grolnick, David Sanborn, Steve Khan, Chris Parker and Will Lee. Somehow, producer Steve Backer had gotten wind of the rehearsals. He knew of us - Michael and I had played together in Dreams, Billy Cobhamʼs band and Horace Silverʼs quintet. He rang me and said, ʻIf you call this band The Brecker Brothers, Iʼll sign you tomorrow to Clive Davisʼ new label, Arista Records.ʼ" Randy recalls his first inclination was to say no, because "I wanted to do my own record," but he ultimately relented. "And thatʼs how this whole thing started." Sadly, in 2005 Michael Brecker was diagnosed with the blood disorder myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and died from complications of leukemia on January 13, 2007. During the process of assembling a band for a week-long engagement at New York Cityʼs Blue Note jazz club last year for a solo record, Randy realized that all the musicians he has contacted have played in various editions of The Brecker Brothers Band: bassist Will Lee (who served the earliest incarnation of the group in the mid-ʻ70s), along with guitarist Mike Stern, keyboardist George Whitty and drummer Dave Weckl (veterans of the early ʻ90s edition). Filling in for his late brother is saxophonist Ada Rovatti, an accomplished improviser and bandleader, also known as Randyʼs wife and the mother of their four-year- old daughter, Stella. "Here it is 30-some years later, Iʼm getting set to do another solo record, and the Brecker Brothers thing creeps in again," Randy says. "In fact," he continues, "the club billed it as 'Brecker Brothers Band Reunion'. At first I wasnʼt crazy about the idea. But the week was sold out, it became an event, and fans loved hearing the old tunes along with the new ones. I realized this band was my legacy." This set of original compositions, among them tunes like "Some Skunk Funk" and "Straphangin", brings back the excitement of the 70s with the technological advances of the 21st century. Add to the mix, the appearance of Randroid, a vocalist fans of Randy Brecker will recognize. Randy Brecker and former members of the studio and touring bands have reconvened to make new, exciting music. The story continues.

Ray Dolby has died at 80. RIP. I thought he was older than that. http://www.latimes.com/obituaries/la-me-ray-dolby-20130913,0,1038127.story

With Ottawa returning to the league next year, the Bombers will return to the West Division. I remember that the last time, they wanted to stay in the East, and demanded payment to return to the West. Dave Naylor reports that this time the Bombers are doing it for free. http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4624023 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=431718 http://cfl.ca/article/heading-west-bombers-to-switch-divisions-in-2014 ***** Frank Tripucka has died. I had his bubble gum card in 1961 when he was with the Broncos.

Here's an oddity. The Bombers won last week despite not getting a first down in the first half. (By the way, the author of this column is Bob Irving, whom I met at the '96 Grey Cup.) http://cfl.ca/article/irving-another-wild-week-in-winnipeg ***** Ted Michaels has a good column this week about how the collective bargaining agreement prevents publicly criticizing a player's play. CFL/CFLPA CBA rule Section 34.12-Public Criticism: "Member clubs and employees of member clubs, including players, shall be prohibited from publicly criticizing the on-field performance of any player and/or coach in the CFL." http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4623468 ***** Greg Xenakes Week 12 picks (I see that Greg went 0-4 last week. I've never seen him do that before.) http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4623786 ***** The league scouting bureau today released its current list of the top fifteen college players. http://www.cfl.ca/article/cfl-scouting-bureau-releases-september-2013-rankings ***** After four years in the NFL, Chris Wilson has returned to the Lions. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=431557

If you like piano (and piano trios), the Pieranunzi might be to your likings, too! I had never heard of him before seeing that box. Since then, I have seen a few references. Sounds interesting!

l read a few survival articles during the Y2K scare and enjoyed them. Here's one that if you are not a camper you may not know about these. http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2013/09/06/13-survival-myths-that-could-kill/?intcmp=trending

I didn't know that, Jim. That's OK. I can satisfy my curiosity for that price.

Thanks Jim, Jeff, Colin and felser!

I want to let you know about a good deal I found at Amazon tonight. For decades I have wanted Gary McFarland's Does the Sun Really Shine on the Moon? from his Skye years. Amazon is now offering it for $2.61, and they will give you a free $1.00 credit toward an mp3 which must be used by January 31. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000005YUE/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you click here, and then click again on the screen that says "Recap: BC 29, Hamilton 37," you will see video of the Ticats wearing the Wildcats uniforms. http://cfl.ca/video/index ***** Here are more Week 11 video highlights. http://cfl.ca/video/index/id/89169/autostart/true ***** At last week's press conference, Ed Hervey singled out Simeon Rottier for poor play. The players union asked the league to punish Hervey, claiming that his comments violated the collective bargaining agreement. The league has informed Hervey that his comments did indeed violate the agreement, but will take no further action against him. After being benched last game, Rottier will start this week. I have heard his name pronounced both Rot-ee-yay and Ro-tier. Does anybody know which is correct? http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=431550

When I click on the link of the OP tonight, I see that customers also bought Lee Konitz - The Milestone Albums for 22,76 euros. I'm not familiar with that one (except the Duets album). Does anyone have an opinion of it? http://www.amazon.it/The-Milestone-Albums-Lee-Konitz/dp/B007R3TH0W/ref=pd_sim_m_10

Tynes and the players union are filing an expedited grievance over the way the team is handling his infection. Gory details here: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/09/10/nfl-kicker-lawrence-tynes-fighting-tampay-bay-buccaneers-over-mrsa-infection/?intcmp=obnetwork

Yes, and for the rest of the game he gained 15 yards on 17 carries!
