Nope and nope! I think that Jack is batting 1.000, so get your guesses in before he gets up in the morning!

LOL! You should post a comment to that effect at the end of the article!

Nope, nope and nope! I had a hunch someone might say Lou Rawls! Valerie, let us know who the Johnny is you are thinking of! It isn't him either, but now I'm curious. All the hints I can think of would make it obvious, so I'll wait a bit before giving a clue.

GA Russell replied to felser's topic in Re-issues
I'm glad to see you recommend it, felser. I saw the group in the fall of '68 and loved the show. I've never heard the album, but I put it on my wishlist June 2, and maybe I'll get it for Christmas. -
Correct, Jack and Paul! As I recall, Lana Cantrell was on Ed Sullivan and Johnny Carson fairly often. The haircut of the top photo was her trademark for a while.
-
OK, try this lady! The old timers ought to get this. This is perhaps a more famous photo, though less famous haircut, of the same lady.

Happy Birthday, Mark Stryker!

Happy Birthday 2011 Mark! -
Correct, FFA! It's Doctor Johnny Fever! (The two posts you couldn't see were as well, and IMO easier than the one you got.)

Both of them show up for me. I used the green square like I have done for my other photos. What do you suggest I do? Let's try a different photo from a different website.

Is this better?

Kevin Eiben is out for the year with a ruptured pectoral muscle. He is in his eleventh year, yet the article says that he is only 31. I thought he is much older than that.. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=373513

This would be too hard, but this is a music forum, so I'm sure that everyone remembers him.

Chuck, other than politicians, Royal Copeland was one of the biggest names in Canada in the 20th century, in large part because he played for Toronto, the media capital of the country. He and his teammate Joe Krol were fair haired boys who were better than everyone else on the field and were easy to root for. As the obit says, Copeland is the only man to have ever scored a touchdown in three consecutive Grey Cup games. Perhaps they can be compared to the two Army players, Mr. Inside and Mr. Outside, Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis. As far as blond halfbacks go, Copeland was a much bigger star in Canada than Paul Hornung was in the US.

The street date for this one isn't till next Tuesday, but I heard the Jesus Children of America track on Sirius this afternoon, and liked it.

I received this press release today. I'll be interested to see if what is coming out of Nashville is any good. Rising Star Saxophonist-Flutist-Composer Rahsaan Barber Offers Vibrant 2nd Album, "Everyday Magic" CD Is Due for August 30 Release on the Nashville-Based Artist's Newly Formed Jazz Music City Records August 8, 2011 The dynamic saxophonist and flutist Rahsaan Barber has emerged as a musical force in his hometown of Nashville, and now he's reaching for a wider audience with his terrific new CD, Everyday Magic.The CD, his second as a leader, is set for August 30 release on Jazz Music City Records. Everyday Magic -- which Barber produced, and for which he wrote and arranged the repertoire -- debuts his powerhouse band, also called Everyday Magic. Besides Barber on tenor, alto, and soprano saxophones and flute, the ensemble is comprised of four top Nashville musicians: guitarist Adam Agati, pianist Jody Nardone, bassist Jerry Navarro, and drummer Nioshi Jackson. Trombonist Roland Barber, Rahsaan's twin brother, is a guest on two tracks, as is percussionist Giovanni Rodriguez (co-leader, with Rahsaan, of the Latin-jazz septet El Movimiento). "When I tell my New York friends there are all these fantastic jazz musicians in Nashville, they say, come on, really?" says the 31-year-old saxophonist, active in the Music City's scene as a performer, studio musician, and educator. "I'm really hoping to help bring more attention to them." In fact, Barber has formed a new label, Jazz Music City Records, with that goal in mind. Everyday Magic is the enterprise's first release, with future projects planned for El Movimiento, pianist Bruce Dudley, vocalist Stephanie Adlington, and a hip-hop brass band called the Megaphones. Everyday Magic is a formidable outing for the versatile artist and his ambitious label. Barber reveals his substantial tenor saxophone chops on the uptempo groover, "Jubilee"; the sweet, gospel-tinged love song, "Manhattan Grace," displays yet another aspect of the leader's expansive compositional bent, and spotlights his warm alto saxophone style. "Adagio" is a showcase for Barber's flute sensibilities, and "Innocence," a deftly constructed, appealing waltz, allows his soprano saxophone to shine. Rahsaan Barber and his brother Roland -- named after famed jazz reed artist and composer Rahsaan Roland Kirk -- were born in Nashville on April 2, 1980 into a musical family that includes another brother, saxophonist Robert; their mother, a singer; and their grandmother, a pianist. As a youth Rahsaan heard a variety of music from gospel and country to blues and jazz, and his exposure greatly expanded when he went to Indiana University to study music under the esteemed educator David Baker. "His model of work ethic, passion for music, detailed and patient educational offerings and soulfulness have continued to show their influence in my own approach to music," says Barber. The Barber Brothers debuted on record with Twinnovation, in 2001, and Rahsaan's first album under his own name was 2005's TrioSoul, featuring B-3 organist Moe Denham and drummer Robert Bond. Last year came The Movement by El Movimiento, which Rahsaan co-leads with percussionist Giovanni Rodriguez and trumpeter Imer Santiago. The saxophonist, who has taught at Nashville's Belmont University, is among the many distinguished artists who have played with the Nashville Jazz Orchestra; he's also performed at the community-based Nashville Jazz Workshop. "There are so many different strands of music here in Nashville," said Barber. "There's a unique opportunity here to build a sound." The CD release show for Everyday Magic will take place on Sun. 9/11, 5pm, at the Nashville Jazz Workshop, 1319 Adams Street in Nashville. Barber is also planning a separate label launch show for Jazz Music City Records, Tues. 10/4, 8pm, at the Franklin Theatre, 419 Main Street in Franklin, TN. Billed as "Celebrating Our Own," the concert will feature El Movimiento, Bruce Dudley, the Roland Barber Quartet, the Jody Narone Trio, the Birdsong Trio, Stephanie Adlington, the Megaphones, Marcus Finnie, Rahsaan Barber and Everyday Magic, and more.

The Riders have traded Luc Mullinder to the Als for an import rookie receiver named Dallas Baker. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=373432 ***** Royal Copeland has died. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=373491

Correct, Jack! It's Linda Thorson. Since Honor Blackman and Diana Rigg had already been put up, I thought that I would complete The Avengers' triumvirate. I read once that she was quite young when she replaced Rigg, something like 19, but the photo of her today makes her look older than that, although she is still in great shape.
