You guys have given me some ideas of things to look up on Lala. Two weeks ago I found there one of my favorite albums from high school, Cannonball's Bossa Nova with Sergio Mendes.

5-4-3-2-1 was the theme song of Britain's Shindig-type TV show called Ready, Steady, Go. I believe that it was a minor hit there, released before Do Wah Diddy. And felser, you mean Come Tomorrow, right?

Never heard of him.

Happy Birthday!

On the Argos front, Chad Folk and Chris Hardy have retired, and Mike O'Shea has been cut. http://sports.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/...tsFootball/home ***** The Bombers have released Timmy Chang. Word is that the Bombers plan to start Stefan LeFors at QB, which leaves Kevin Glenn on the outs. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Win...541226-sun.html

Happy Birthday 2009 Noj! Hope you are enjoying the Dizzy Reece Select you got with your winnings from the Grey Cup contest!

Happy Birthday!

Sounds like a British Lala.com, but Lala plans to make its money with downloads. I'll give it a try.

Very sorry to read this. I have two Nucleus albums, a Best of compilation which I think is called Smash Hits (maybe not) and the later In Flagrante Delicto. That compilation showed that a huge number of greats went through that band. PS - Now I think that the name of the album was Direct Hits.

That's great, Dan! I have to think that the powers that be will want more than one voice reading all of their books, so you've got a great shot at some future work!

How could this thread have 2,372 views?????

Chuck, it looks like he did! Happy Birthday 2209 tf!

The Ticats have cut Casey Printers. David Naylor doesn't think that any team wants him. http://sports.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/...tsFootball/home ***** Milt Stegall officially retired. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Win...437076-sun.html ***** The Bombers traded Zeke Moreno and a draft pick to the Argos for Riall Johnson. Moreno has led the league in tackles the past two years. http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Football/CFL/Tor...450386-sun.html

Happy Birthday John!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Mike!

Belated Happy Birthday, Sandy!

Jesse Lumsden has left the Ticats for the Eskimos. I think that Edmonton is whistling past the graveyard getting excited about an oft-injured running back. People forget that not only was he injured the past two years with Hamilton, he was also injured his rookie year in the Seattle Seahawks' training camp. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto...ory/GlobeSports

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday 2009 zen!

Free agent signings started today. So far, a number of good players have been announced, but only two stars, both offensive linemen. Rob Murphy left the Lions for the Argos. Alexandre Gauthier left the Bombers for the Ticats. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto...ory/GlobeSports

My thought doesn't really fit in with what is being said here, but I was always struck by Georgie Fame's inclusion in the lyrics of The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde the line "Acting upon reliable information". I'd bet that's the only song that has that lyric!

I don't think that the issue is limited to the Blue Note label. The problem is that the scene today is not creating the quality music that it did in the 50s and 60s. Not only is Blue Note of the 2000s not the Blue Note of the 60s, no other label of the 2000s is either.
