Billy Neighbors has died. It doesn't seem like fifty years since he was a star at Alabama. http://msn.foxsports.com/collegefootball/story/Former-Alabama-star-Billy-Neighbors-dies-at-72-043012

That's good to know! A buck and a half for shipping per item is great.

Thanks bogdan. At Amazon.uk, most are going for 6-8 pounds. I wonder how bad the shipping from there will set me back.

I've found these at amazon.uk, but not at amazon.com.

Happy Birthday Lazaro!

Happy Birthday 2012 ...impossible!

Thanks Paul! I've added it to my Wish List.

Congrats Bill! That's a great page of info! I particularly like the comments on Teddy Charles. When Concord had its blowout sale (has it been four or five years ago?), I picked up the New Directions CD. I've bookmarked JazzWax, and I'm going to make it a daily habit.

Joe, do you remember the name of the book?

I feel like a new man now that I can type and make just a few errors. This is fun again!

Happy Birthday 2012 Joe!

Here's a review of a new biography called Ernie K-Doe: The R&B Emperor of New Orleans. http://www.newsobserver.com/2012/04/28/2030916/biography-of-ernie-k-doe-captures.html http://www.amazon.com/Ernie-K-Doe-The-Emperor-Orleans/dp/0917860608/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1335663488&sr=1-1

Bill, I'm late to this party, and I don't see it now. Is it too late for me to look it up somehow, and if not, how?

Happy Birthday Niko!

Thanks Mark!

It occurs to me that one thing you know about the CFL is that some Canadian teams are going to make it out of the first round of the playoffs!

One of the first? aloc, I didn't know there were any others who had a "game piece"!

Allen, as great as Skowron was, I don't think that that is correct. As I recall, Tresh was a rookie in '61, and from '61 on Pepitone got a lot of playing time at first.

Lon, all twelve songs were played on the radio so much that I was burned out on it in a matter of weeks. But Meet the Beatles was the first album purchased by many kids (including me) born between the years of, say, 1949 and 1952.

JETman, I don't pay attention to college football, so I can't say. This past week I saw a number of articles that said that because the UNC program was in complete disarray last year because of scandal, he didn't play hard all year. This led some to speculate about his attitude.

Our local press thought that the Panthers would take Coples from UNC, but they passed on him, and the Jets took him.

I adjusted the two controls to the slowest possible. As a result, the repeat problem is gone. I notice that the backspace cursor movement is much slower, so I may have to play with that a little. Thanks again!

Thanks Jim. I wish he had taken a moment to explain what the two concepts are and why anyone would want them.

Any thoughts on the first round of the draft?
