Today was NFL cutdown day. Matt O'Donnell was cut by the Bengals. Hopefully he'll sign with the Riders now. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=375088 The Vikings put Emmanuel Arcineaux on their practice roster. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=375067 Tom Johnson made the Saints. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=375073 The Colts want to put John Chick on their practice roster, but he hasn't accepted yet, and may shop himself around. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=375074 Phillip Hunt made the Eagles. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=375100 Andy Fantuz is planning to rejoin the Riders immediately. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=375009

British Columbia Lions 29....Toronto Argonauts 16 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4433447 The Lions have looked pretty good the past two weeks playing against rotten teams. Steven Jyles comes off the injured list this week. He has got to be an improvement for the Argos at QB or they can write the season off. Some records were set. Chad Owens set the Argos record for kickoff return yards. The teams combined to set league records for number of kickoffs and kickoff return yardage.

Happy Birthday Stompy Jones!

Happy Birthday umum_cypher!

Happy Birthday romualdo!

Correct, marcello! It's Dave Pike! I can't say that I've heard a lot of him over the years, but I've liked everything I've heard.

I see that Amazon is now carrying the CD box of Blues for the Fisherman. http://www.amazon.com/Vol-6-Blues-Fisherman-Unreleased-Art/dp/B005BY8XA4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314944975&sr=8-1

Nope! But he played with Herbie Mann!

First hint: He's a jazz musician!

Globe Week 10 picks http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/cfl-picks/article2151239/

Here's a tough one.

I'm enjoying this modern creative album with two caveats: 1) It goes on a little too long. I may burn a disc omitting a couple of tracks. 2) Four of the tracks include a banjo (as discussed in the press release). I'm willing to continue to listen to see if this experiment grows on me, but my first impression is that the jarring sound of the banjo takes away from the beauty of the smooth tones of the trumpet and alto.

Correct, Valerie!

While we're waiting for a hint from Bill, here's one:

Apropos, I am in the market for shoebox type boxes to store perhaps 30 CDs each. Any ideas?

Correct, Noj! I think she was Miss Nevada or some such thing.

LOL! Monk has always been someone whose compositions' titles I have a mental block about. Much more so than any other composer.

Hint: She is known for only one role, but I once saw her in a ca. 1959 episode of Maverick.

The Als have placed Mark Estelle on the nine-game injured list. They already have injury problems in their defensive backfield, and they're going to miss him. He should be back in time for the playoffs. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=374786

The highly popular "What music did you buy today?" thread is up to 195 pages and 5,824 posts, so I thought I would start a similar thread about DVDs. Yesterday I bought the box of four Dean Martin Matt Helm movies called the Matt Helm Lounge.

Sure, sure, sure! :lol: Valerie, do you know my post #563?
