Happy Birthday brownie!

As the title of this thread says, Wednesday will be the first anniversary of the release of Road Shows Vol. 1 and In Vienne. I've just listened to Road Shows, and I find that it goes down quite easily after a year of listening to it. So where is Vol. 2? I haven't heard anything about any planned release from Sonny. Has anyone else? With 30 years worth of taped concerts, you would think that he would regularly issue some of the material. But I guess he marches to the beat of his own drummer.

Actually, it was the Sox's first Series since '59.

Hoppy, the company didn't go bust. They just decided to close their five-and-dimes, and concentrate on their Foot Locker and Kinney's Shoes stores.

Great story, MG!

I saw (what I believe to be) the Chargers' throwback road uniforms today, and they aren't from 1960 either. In 1960 (and '61) the jerseys had the lightning bolts on the shoulders, but not the wide powder blue stripes surrounding them. I don't recall ever seeing those stripes before. I believe that they are the throwback unies because they were playing the Chiefs.

Lala: Buddy Rich - The New One I listened to this a lot when it was new and I was a senior in high school, and I haven't heard it since.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers 41....Montreal Alouettes 24 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/foot...article1337194/ Marc Trestman played Adrian McPherson instead of Anthony Calvillo today. McPherson was the game's leading rusher with 95 yards! Ever since they clinched first place, the Als have given up a ton of points. Michael Bishop passed for over 400 yards today. ***** Saskatchewan Roughriders 33....British Columbia Lions 30 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/foot...article1337227/ Casey Printers played the whole game for the Lions. Very exciting finish. The Riders led most of the game, but with 6 minutes to go, the Lions scored to take a 23-22 lead. Then with 3 minutes to go Barron Miles ran an INT back 43 yards for a TD to give the Lions an 8 point lead. But the Riders came back and scored with a minute left, and then made the two-point convert. With just a few seconds left, Luca Congi's long FG attempt to win the game hit the upright. So for the second straight week, the Riders entered OT tied at 30. Up first, the Riders (Congi) kicked a FG. With their turn, the Lions had first and goal at the 9, so they could go for the TD to win, knowing that a FG to send them into the next round of OT was a sure thing. And James Patrick intercepted Printers' pass in the end zone to win it. With the win, the Riders clinched a playoff spot.

Happy Birthday okierambler!

Happy Birthday!

I guess her fans don't read the Post to write in.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats 26....Toronto Argonauts 17 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/foot...article1336770/ Going into the game, the Argos had the worst home record in the league, and the Ticats had the worst road record in the league. So something had to give. The Ticats led 20-0 at the half, but the Argos put a scare into them in the second half. Late in the game the score was 23-17, but a Nick Setta FG put the game on ice. Kevin Glenn started again, and it looks like he has won the job. ***** Calgary Stampeders 30....Edmonton Eskimos 7 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/foot...article1336901/ Decent game in the first half, but Calgary completely dominated the second half. With the win, Calgary clinched a playoff spot. ***** I saw Eddie Davis play in Birmingham for the Barracudas in 1995. He and Anthony Calvillo are the last two players left who played for the American teams. Here's an article about him. It includes an interesting stat: He is fourth on the career list of tackles, and the only non-linebacker in the top ten. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/foot...article1336885/

Fifteen years ago there was a used record shop in Norcross, GA (suburban Atlanta), called Eat More Records.

Happy Birthday 2009 maren, wherever you are!

Soupy Sales was one of my favorites. I'll never forget White Fang and Black Tooth! I seem to recall reading here that he was quite a jazz fan too, and had jazz musicians on his show. http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-...0,1662687.story

Happy Birthday 2009 Matthew!

Montreal Alouettes 41....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 38 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.../AJN4260832.htm The Als clinched first place last week, so they have nothing to play for for the rest of the regular season. It's difficult to get too interested in games like this at the end of the season because you don't know how hard a team is trying to win. So I didn't bother to tune in until the end of the second quarter. Due to his good play last week, Kevin Glenn got the start and had a good game. Anthony Calvillo started for the Als, but gave way early in the third quarter to Adrian McPherson. It was a good game, but as I say, you don't know how hard the Als were trying. ***** British Columbia Lions 24....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 21 http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=s...aspx?id=4260851 Michael Bishop looked good in the first quarter, and thanks to three turnovers the Bombers took a 14-0 lead. But Bishop threw interceptions the rest of the game, and the Lions were able to pull it out. Buck Pierce injured his shoulder in the first quarter and was out for the game. Jarious Jackson was already on the injured list, so that took the Lions down to 3rd stringer Travis Lulay. (Where was Casey Printers?, you might ask, as might I.) Lulay did a surprisingly good job. Bombers punter Renaud was injured last week, so they had Alexis Serna do both the placekicking and the punting. Perhaps as a result, he missed two FGs. ***** I have been paying attention to the CFL on a weekly basis since 1975, and I don't think that I have ever seen the standings this close. After 15 games, the Als have clinched first place and the Argos have been eliminated from playoff contention. Saskatchewan, Calgary and BC have 8 wins, Edmonton has 7 wins, and Hamilton and Winnipeg have 6 wins. ***** This is true: Because of Serna's problems this week, the Bombers have brought back Troy Westwood despite the bridges he burned when he left the club. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/foot...article1329550/ http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Win...473256-sun.html ***** It looks like Casey Printers is going to start this week against the Riders. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/prin...article1333057/ ***** Gregg Xenakes Week 17 preview http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=s...aspx?id=4261367
