    Now that we are recalling Dick Morrisey gossip, I don't think I have mentioned this before.

    Following the first four If albums, the group broke up, and Morrisey created a new band with the same name, and issued an album called Double Diamond.

    He then broke that band up, and created a third band called If, which released two albums.  The first of these was called Not Just a Bunch of Pretty Faces.

    As I recall, it was in late '74 (maybe early '75) when that band toured promoting that album.  He was autographing the album at a mall in suburban DC, so I went and picked it up.

    He told me that he was not impressed by the singer of the Double Diamond band because he wanted to spend more time working on his motorcycle than practicing with the band.

    Can you imagine someone not appreciating the opportunity to work with Dick Morrisey?

    Was Terry Smith's Fontana release you are referring to called Fall Out?

    I see that it was released on Philips.  Now on Sunbeam.

    I also see an LP made with J.J. Jackson called The Greatest Little Soul Band in the Land.  Used for $14.00.

    Perhaps this is the same recording as J.J. Jackson's Dilemma, which we have discussed before.

    I seem to recall a Terry Smith album on Verve, but I'm not seeing it tonight.  Maybe it is the same as Fall Out.

  6. Computer Gurus: Keyboard question

    in Miscellaneous - Non-Political

    Posted

    I would like to disconnect at least one key on my keyboard.  Is that possible?

    My problem is the caps lock key.  I never use it.  But frequently I accidentally bump it, and then unknowingly type a sentence all in caps.

    As an alternative, is there a way that I can highlight all the capital letters, and then with one key stoke reduce them to lower case?

    Thanks!

  11. USB ports

    I receive catalogues from Audio Advisor. 

    Recently I have seen stereo components with USB and ethernet ports.

    Is there any purpose for these other than plugging them into your computer or the internet?

    Those last two minutes were the most exciting two minutes of any sports of recent memory. Two blocked field goals??? Yikes!

    That's why I'm a fan!  I wish every sports fan would give the Canadian league a chance.

    I have ordered your prize, which should arrive in about a week.  Your prize is two CDs, two DVDs and one book.  The book should arrive in a separate package.

    Please let me know when the two packages arrive.

    I suppose that I should not expect you to like everything, but I hope that something hits the spot!

    And thanks for playing everybody!
