Thanks guys! I've put them both on my Amazon wish list.

Happy Birthday 2012 Evan!

I'm enjoying this one a great deal. It's very laid back, swinging in a relaxed way. The sax Noah Preminger has a terrific tone, but doesn't play a great deal. I'd like to hear an album of his own.

In the late 80s my computer was an Atari 1040ST, and I subscribed to a couple of Atari magazines which were always talking about his plans for the company.

Draft Day is May 3. Here is an excellent Duane Forde article which discusses seven important factors on the minds of CFL GM's which are not considerations of the GM's of other pro leagues. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=392518

Happy Birthday 2012 save!

Happy Easter 2012 everyone!

Thomas Kinkade has died suddenly. His work never appealled to me, but he made a lot of people happy with it, so for that he should be commended. I noticed this in his obituary: " He read classic books but also enjoyed shooting and blowing up things on his ranch." http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-living/ci_20347297/thomas-kinkade-one-americas-most-popular-painters-dies

Happy Birthday 2012 Alison!

Smith Dobson, like Bob Gordon on the way to a gig.

Brownie, my contact says that an announcement will be made soon, but she sounds to me like Laurie isn't really ready yet to be making announcements.

Just yesterday I read a classic science fiction short story called A Martian Odyssey.

The Commissioner announced today that every team managed to stay under the salary cap this past year. That's the first time it's happened since they started enforcing it seriously in 2007. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=392317

These past few years Laurie Pepper has released her Widow's Taste issues of Art Pepper recordings in May, so I wrote my contact and asked if we would see something new next month. She responded that Laurie is planning to release this year's issue in June. edit 8/9 - update thread title

Happy Birthday 2012 Allen!

The Argos have made arrangements with the local school boards to bring in thousands of kids to a pre-season game where they can meet the players and get their autographs. http://cfl.ca/article/argos-change-pre-season-kickoff-time-for-students

Happy Birthday 2012 jazzkrow!

Happy Birthday Claude!

I heartily agree with Sweet Georgia Brown. And I don't care if I never hear My Funny Valentine again.

The Canadian press is making a big deal about how it's theoretically possible that only one Canadian team, Vancouver, will make the playoffs.

That's right, Moose. In 1972 I had the opportunity to buy a used low mileage Saint Volvo for $4,000, but I couldn't afford it.

The Bombers announced today that they set a team record for operating profit last year with $3 million in the black. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=392030

About twenty years ago I took a date to see Janis Siegel with Fred Hersch in Atlanta. There was a power outtage, and as we all waited outside we were told that the fire marshal prohibited the concert from being performed.

Happy Birthday 2012 Kyo!
