It looks like MLB is going to go ahead with the idea of starting extra innings with a runner on second base. I read today that the sportswriters are calling him the Manfred Man!

One thing I like about the Canadian league is the nearly six-month off-season. I appreciate the respite. Not too long before he passed away, Bill Veeck said of the baseball people, "They start too early, they end too late, and they play too many games in between." Before we move on to 2023, let's look at some highlight reels from 2022. Grey Cup Final https://www.cfl.ca/2022/11/20/gc109-game-capsule/ https://www.cfl.ca/2022/11/20/gc109-trophy-presentation/

Kevin's Feb. 8 post brought up the European copyright law's relationship to 1962, and I was following up on that.

Apparently both of you think that the radio broadcast scenario is a matter of contract law rather than copyright law.

Fer Urbina, thanks for your response. My next thought would be about concerts broadcast over the radio. Let's say Record Company signs Smith to a five-year exclusive contract in 1965. Smith's quintet's 1967 performance is broadcast over the radio with Smith's knowledge and consent. Jones recorded the radio broadcast. In 2020 Jones releases a CD of his recording of the 1967 broadcast. Smith and all of the band members are dead. Does European copyright law give Record Company the ownership of the recording, even if Record Company had no relationship with either Radio Station or Jones?

Jim, I'm happy to hear that your daughter is OK. I hope that none of the victims were her friends.

RIP. The first movie of hers I saw in which her work was serious was The Three Musketeers.

I had Sirius about fifteen years ago. What I remember most is that you never drove out of range of the signal of the station you were listening to.

The Oscar Mayer Weinermobile was in Las Vegas last week, and somebody stole the catalytic converter.

"91 percent of U.S. adults listen to the radio at least once a week, far exceeding the reach of live and time-shifted TV at 76 percent, social media at 70 percent an online video at 67 percent. While radio does win in terms of sheer reach, TV remains unparalleled with respect to average daily usage. According to Nielsen, U.S. adults spent an average of 3 hours and 41 minutes watching live and time-shifted TV in Q3 2020, which is roughly 2.5 times the amount of time they spent listening to the radio (1 hour and 31 minutes)."

RIP. Last night I dreamed about a bunch of kids singing Alfie! I remember a Cilla Black interview in which she said that Burt made her record Alfie over and over, and neither she nor George Martin had any idea what he was looking for. The original recording of My Little Red Book was by Manfred Mann for the What's New, Pussycat? soundtrack. Manfred couldn't get the hang of the rhythm of the piano part, so Burt played it himself while Manfred played the organ. When he married Carole Bayer Sager, instead of vowing "I do" he said, "I'll try!" I always enjoyed the Butch Cassidy record.

Kevin, I'm not sure that's right. I'm no expert, but I think that tracks recorded in '62 are PD in Europe. It's very possible that many 1962 recordings were released and sold in 1963. They would be public domain now nevertheless. Any European here want to weigh in?

An American couple are driving through Canada, and stop at a gas station to fill up. As the man goes into the station to pay, his wife calls out to him, “Ask them where we are!” So the husband walks in, pays and asks, “By the way, where are we?” The attendant answers, “Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.” The man goes back to his car, and the wife says, “Where are we?” “He doesn't speak English."

One August, '77 or '78 I think, I visited Ontario (to take in a couple of Canadian league games, natch!). I don't recall the television of the motel room in Toronto having cable TV, but it had a cable music channel. That was an avant garde thing in those days. There was no announcer, no advertisements, just music. Imagine my surprise when on came WDISATBJ!!!

Sounds great, sg! By the way, what was the If song you wrote an arrangement for?

HutchFan, that was sort of my guess! Thanks!

jl, what does your emoji (emojo?) mean?

+1 However, the Eagles are a pre-expansion team, which is good too. I started collecting NFL and CFL bubble gum cards in 1959. Since then, 7 of the 9 CFL teams remain unchanged, while 9 (if we include L.A.) of the 12 NFL teams remain unchanged.
