Nope! But he played with Herbie Mann!

First hint: He's a jazz musician!

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?

Correct, Valerie! Paula Prentiss was/is 5'10", and she was often paired with Jim Hutton because he was one of the few actors under contract who was taller than she was. One of my favorites they made together was called The Horizontal Lieutenant. Phyllis Newman was a regular guest on The Match Game when it was on in the afternoon ca. 1962-3. I still think that photo looks more like Diane Keaton! Here's another one of my favorites.

Phyllis Newman?

Diane Keaton?

She's one of my favorites.

Chuck, the Roughriders are the only sports team I know of whose radio broadcasts are sponsored by competing brands of hybrid canola seed!

Ivor Wynne is 81 years old. It has now been determined that the original plans to renovate it are asking too much of the old structure, so last night the City Council voted to demolish it and build a completely new ballpark. This is good news in the Ticats' minds. No plans on where they will play their 2013 schedule have been announced. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=374804

He'll always be Mr. Pomfritt to me!

Correct, Jim! I learned last night that he was the President of the Screen Actors Guild thirty years ago, preceding Ed Asner.

I received a $40 Amazon gift certificate, and I spent it on the Frank Sinatra Capitol Concept Albums box and the Dean Martin Matt Helm DVD box. That's a lot for $39.00!

Correct, Valerie! I'm surprised anyone got her. Did you know her when she was married to Lester Bowie? Here's someone whose face I bet many recognize, but do you remember his name?
