It's going to take me a while to catch up, but let's get started. 2024 Grey Cup Toronto 41....Winnipeg 24 The Bombers led 10-9 at the half. The Argos led 17-13 after three. It was not until the fourth quarter that the Argos blew it open with 24 points (which Rod Smith said tied a Grey Cup record). Collaros cut his throwing hand in the second half. He could see the inside. With Streveler injured, the Bombers' back-up was a young guy I had never heard of named Terry Wilson. Collaros returned to the game, but was not particularly effective after the injury. Arbuckle had a good game with few mistakes. He was named MVP. The Bombers scored a touchdown with a two-point convert with 0:53 left. Before that, it was Argos 41....Bombers 16. https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/17/111th-grey-cup-recap-toronto-41-winnipeg-24/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/18/cfl-plays-of-the-week-111th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/17/boatmen-reign-supreme-argos-win-the-111th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/18/steinberg-4-unsung-heroes-of-the-111th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/18/landry-3-moments-that-turned-the-tide-for-the-argos/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/18/steinberg-top-3-defensive-players-in-the-111th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/18/oleary-argos-win-bonds-arbuckle-dinwiddie/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/18/landry-argos-defence-a-big-crashing-double-blue-wave/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/18/mmqb-everything-to-gain/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/17/5-stats-that-defined-torontos-win-over-winnipeg-in-the-111th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/17/3-stats-that-defined-the-first-half-of-the-111th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/17/halftime-at-the-111th-grey-cup-steinbergs-qb-comparison/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/17/storybook-ending-nick-arbuckle-named-mvp-of-the-111th-grey-cup/ https://www.cfl.ca/2024/11/17/dejon-brissett-wins-111th-grey-cups-most-valuable-canadian/

Rivas recorded 11 albums as soloist and was nominated for a Latin grammy in 2018 * Maria provided the lyrics for the Spanish & Portuguese versions of this song. The English version was recorded in Nashville with vocals by Molly Rocklind. Many singers have wonderful voices, as does Ms. Rivas.

In 1985 Miguel made his first trip to Brazil and was enraptured by the people, the culture, and the music. Miguel’s goal is to use his gift of music as a means to bridge the gap between different musical styles and languages, continually exploring and learning about the world of music. To that end, Miguel now releases, for the holidays, in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian – as well as an Instrumental version – SAMBA DE NATAL. https://migueldeleonmusic.com/ “Ocho Kandelikas” - MITCHELL SHINER LATIN VIBES Mitchell Shiner Latin Vibes is a Latin Jazz band from Milwaukee, WI. Exploring the music of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Colombia, and Brazil. Latin Vibes blends popular and folkloric grooves with contemporary jazz bringing creativity, virtuosity, and “el espíritu del Caribe" to Latkes Con Salsa A Latin Jazz Hanukkah. www.shineymusic.com “Sleigh Ride” - DOUG MUNRO and LA POMPE ATTACK featuring Ken Peplowski Master musician and guitar virtuoso Doug Munro is an established veteran of the New York music scene sharing 15 of your all-rime favorite Christmas songs played in the swinging style of Django Reinhardt and the Quintette du Hot Club de France on "A VERY GYPSY CHRISTMAS." This CD was recorded live! www.dougmunro.com "Boogie Woogie Santa Claus" - SUSIE BLUE and THE LONESOME FELLAS “Boogie your Xmas blues away with this upbeat and lively tune, which has been rockin’ the airwaves on national and international stations, showcasing the best of Chicago with a rollicking horn section featuring the Green Mill’s horn maestro Eric Schneider and brass man Jack Gallagher. Parisian guitarist Martin Gioani lays down some swingin’ licks from across the pond, the European Actor Alexsandr portrays a jaunty, life-of-the-party Santa who is a carefree Picador… buffoonishly dancing and charming his way through the holiday with no actual gifts to give but still parties hard and has a rollicking good time, and Susie Blue’s sassy vocal tops it all off, telling the roving story of the jaunty Boogie Woogie Santa. This song will get your toes tappin’ and is a fresh break from the usual nostalgic holiday offerings… It’s lively fun, sometimes irreverent, and definitely merry and romping, it will become your fav Christmastime frolic”. – JM Reid, Chicago Music Guide www.susieblueandthelonesomefellas.com Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZltBLAx-2s&list=OLAK5uy_lS4iU-96E8JRGXJhztYppKrKILDHfUs4U "We Three Kings" - ROBERT IRVING III “Conspicuously absent as a leader since serving as Mils Davis’ fusion-oriented musical director in the 80’s, Robert Irving III returns in dramatic fashion on “New Momentum,” the premiere release from indie Sonic Portraits. What’s so remarkable about Irving’s return from obscurity is the fresh, vital sound, spurred by his pianistic dynamism, and infused with an imaginative improvisational approach that encompasses dancing tempo shifts and harmonic curves…” www.sonicportraitsjazz.com "Season of Lights" - LAURA WALLS Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa comprise the “Season Of Lights” Each tradition is celebrated (along with a heartfelt call to action to help the less fortunate) in this delightful new jazz holiday song sung by: Laura Walls - vocals, Robert Irving III – piano, Terri Lyne Carrington – drums, James Cammack – bass, Wallace Roney – trumpet, James Perkins Jr. – tenor sax, Norman Palm Jr. - trombone, Nathelie Joachim – piccolo This represents one of the last recordings by the great trumpeter, Wallace Roney, and is dedicated to his memory. www.sonicportraitsjazz.com Video: https://app.box.com/s/k4hxpwrmikxlou6ka1yg9sywy2jeqk7l
