Happy Birthday 2011 Duke!

I had a feeling this one might be impossible. Think '80s TV. Hint: She played a role made famous by... Well, since even Valerie can't guess (and since apparently Jim isn't cheating this time! ), I'll reveal our mystery guest. Her name is Caryn Richman, and her most famous role was as the star of The New Gidget in the 80s. At the time, I thought that she and Stephanie Zimbalist were the two most beautiful women in the world. I have since seen her in a car commercial (Honda?) and in a supermarket video telling shoppers what aisle they can find things on. I'll let you compare who has fared better in the past twenty-five years. The top photo is a picture of her today. Here's what Stephanie Zimbalist looks like today. I think they both still look great. Yikes! How do I make the picture smaller? PS - It also occurs to me that I saw Caryn Richman in Atlanta ca. 1990 in the touring company of Grease.

When I saw Sonny in Atlanta twenty years ago, he was introduced as "the most influential living jazz saxophonist in the world". But it's not clear to me how influential Sonny has been. Perhaps I mistakenly give the credit due Sonny to Coleman Hawkins instead. Can anyone name some tenors who would have sounded differently if Sonny had never been born?

Valerie, I thought for sure you would get post #807. If you don't, I'll just turn over all the cards and reveal who the mystery guest is.

Is that Anthony Quinn?

Happy Birthday 2011 Marcus!

Happy Birthday 2011 Brad!

Chuck, considering that these are digital, not physical, do you feel that Universal could release them for a lot less and still make a good profit?

RIP. I remember the name. I had a couple of Kevin Ayers imports. Maybe there's something on spotify that I can find.

Those prices seem high to me, though I haven't done the math. What does $37.50 work out to be per song?

10-4, Chuck!

Hint: Today is 10/4.

I expect I'm going to need to give a hint for this one.

The Lions' overcoming 20 point deficits to win two weeks in a row has never been done before in the NFL. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/detroit-lions-make-nfl-history-with-rallies/article2189791/

Riding a six game winning streak, the Lions have vaulted to the top of TSN's power rankings for the week. [1] B.C.: Moved up two spots after winning their sixth consecutive game[2] Montreal: Hang on to beat Bombers and hang onto No. 2 rank[3] Winnipeg: Hard-fought loss to Als costs them two spots[4] Calgary: Win ends two-game losing skid; move two spots up[5] Hamilton: Won second straight; within two of top spot in East[6] Edmonton: Slide two spots following second straight defeat[7] Saskatchewan: Two straight embarrassing performances[8] Toronto:Sixth straight loss to Ticats; playoff hopes hanging http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=377323 ***** In the last minute of the game, the Bombers were awarded the ball on the Als' one due to a bad call of pass interference. Today the league fired the ref who made the call. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=377334

I like this album. It's all over the board. There's some greasy funk, some gospel with vocals, some hard core blues. Most but not all of it would be appreciated by someone still somewhat new to jazz. Gerard Gibbs on organ does an outstanding job, though this is clearly James Carter's album.

Unbeknownst to me, the Riders signed Jamie Boreham last month, and today they traded him to the Bombers for future considerations. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=377312

Happy Birthday 2011 Ken!

Adolph Sax!

Correct, Jim!
