  1. Sun Records: The Ultimate Blues Collection (3 CDs) - $16.95 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000AVHD8/ref=pe_184680_27106670_pe_epc_dt8 I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that the US "Prestige Recordings" box had 13 CDs, with none of the Miles Quintet sides. I think there was a European 16-CD box that included the Miles Quintet tracks. Thus, the entire 16-CD box is currently available as four boxes - Fearless Leader, Interplay, Side Steps, and Miles Davis - The Great Prestige Quintet.

  3. The Coltrane Interplay box is now going for $24.99. http://www.amazon.com/Interplay-John-Coltrane/dp/B000ULQVCA?SubscriptionId=AKIAJ7T5BOVUVRD2EFYQ&tag=camels-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B000ULQVCA
  4. That' great, aloc! Saskatchewan is the butt of jokes in Canada, so this should get a lot of mileage. For example, many years ago Saturday Night Live had a skit of The Wizard of Oz where everyone was a Canadian. The punchline was Gilda Radner saying, "There's no place like Saskatchewan!" On the other hand, the Riders are the most popular team in the league. They are everybody's second favorite team.
  5. Zig Ziglar has died. I had some of his tapes back in the 70s. http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-passings-20121130,0,3105530.story
  6. Ticat defensive coordinator Casey Creehan will take the same position with the Bombers next year. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=410536
  7. I surely hope someone picks this up, and let's us know how it sounds. The description is very appealling, but I am skeptical of the sound quality.
  8. Margaret Rutherford/Miss Marple Movie Collection (Murder at the Gallop / Murder Ahoy / Murder Most Foul / Murder She Said) - $17.99 http://www.amazon.co...x_ya_os_product Amazon UK - 10.00 GBP http://www.amazon.co...ASIN=B00012SYQY
  9. Happy Birthday 2012 crisp!
  10. Happy Birthday John!
  11. Happy Birthday BF!
  12. Here's an article on today's parade for the Argos. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=410367 ***** The Als have fired Jeff Reinebold. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=410414
  13. Does the Monk Quartet Complete Columbia box include everything from the Complete Live at the It Club double CD release?
  14. Here's his LA Times obit. http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-marvin-miller-20121128,0,7875985,full.story I don't like what pro sports has become, primarily because most people can no longer afford the tickets. But post-free agency, there is no doubt that the teams as well as the players are making a lot more money.
  15. Here's more on the Grey Cup. http://sports.nationalpost.com/2012/11/25/argos-close-out-magical-season-in-toronto-with-grey-cup-victory/ http://www.canada.com/sports/football/cfl/Bieber+booed+Lightfoot+lauded+during+splashy+Grey+halftime/7608071/story.html http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4546191 http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/GreyCup/2012/11/27/20387281.html http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/GreyCup/2012/11/26/20386541.html http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=410346 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=410294 http://www.canada.com/sports/football/cfl/Argos+defensive+Ricky+Foley+named+Grey+Cups+most+outstanding/7608215/story.html http://www.canada.com/sports/football/cfl/Kackert+comes+through+Argonauts/7608285/story.html http://www.canada.com/sports/football/cfl/Bieber+booed+Lightfoot+lauded+during+splashy+Grey+halftime/7610031/story.html
  16. Down the Road by The Cadillacs was one of my sister's first records. I remember it vaguely, though I haven't heard it in over fifty years. RIP
  17. To be fair, a lot of those rock 'n' rollers' appeal was their youth. Now they're turning 70, and they're not young and good looking anymore.
  18. Here's an article about last night's halftime performer, Justin Bieber, getting booed by the fans! http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2012/11/26/justin-bieber-booed-in-native-canada-by-football-fans/?intcmp=features
  19. Presently, this title is "JR Ewing - the actor who played Larry Hagman - is dead now." Some of us would have said, "Larry Hagman - the actor who played JR Ewing - is dead now."
  20. 100th Grey Cup: Toronto Argonauts 35....Calgary Stampeders 22 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=410276 http://www.canada.co...8207/story.html http://slam.canoe.ca...3/20380716.html Chad Kackert had a heck of a game for the Argos, and the Stamps offense never got going. The final score is closer than the game would justify.
  21. Final score: Toronto Argonauts 35....Calgary Stampeders 22 So the tie breaker is 57 points, and that means that our winner is soulstation1! Congratulations ss1! You have your choice. I will as promised send you the Mosaic gift certificate. But last year (or the year before) I found a prize that would suit you even more, and if you prefer I will give you that. It's your choice, but I won't tell you what your options are! My condolences to John Tapscott, who for much of the fourth quarter looked like he would win the contest, until Calgary scored a meaningless touchdown at the end. Thanks for playing everyone! ss1, PM me your address and your choice of either the Mosaic gift certificate or the surprise just for you.
  22. The contest is now closed. Good luck everyone!
  23. 4 Globe picks http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/who-will-win-the-100th-grey-cup-the-globes-team-make-their-picks/article5639875/
