Don't rub it in!

Otis Floyd announced his retirement today. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=375145

Correct, Jack! I'm a little surprised that you got that one, as her mouth looks different to me.

Yes, I remembered that DS al Coda release after I went to bed! ESPN used a track from that as their theme music to their boxing matches in the late 80s. I'm jealous that you got to see Henry Cow and National Health! I lived in Pittsburgh in the 70s, and it was easier to find the import records of the Canterbury groups in the record shops than it was to find jazz.

Thanks Bev! I had all (Was it only two?) of National Health's albums back in the day, and I got another from Cuneiform about ten years ago. Fond memories!

This one isn't obvious.

I notice that the OP link now says that the concert is sold out! Doug Ramsey had a note about this the other day - specifically that the fact that it will be at the Blue Note is a sign of the times. We're a month ahead of Doug Ramsey!

What is the show listed above you are referring to? Do you have a link?

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!

Umar Ali Week 10 preview http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4433168 ***** The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the Bears have cut Andy Fantuz. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=375009

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.
