PHILLYQ

"Sunny" by Bobby Hebb was so saccharine it would give me a toothache if I heard it, and it was a BIG pop hit in its time. Pat Martino turned it into a tour de force that still gives me chills whenever I hear it.

I find it funny & slimy at the same time- that's pretty difficult to do.

I saw a story in the NY Post(consider the source) today that Kid Rock was highly upset at Anderson's participation in the "Borat" movie, and this led to massive fighting and the split. So now will Cohen get sued for busting up a marriage?

You can get it direct from Ayler Records. I've bought a few things from them and they do a great job, quick shipping, etc. You're also helping to support a good label that puts out music that needs to be heard. http://www.ayler.com/

I got the email from Jazzloft, had it in the cart and then looked here and that clinched it. Appreciate the heads up, Jim.

No Miles or Duke, 'Trane, no Hendrix?!

Best wishes to Lon & Mrs. Lon I have to work- it's the first time in about 6-7 years that I'm working the day after Thanksgiving. Only me and my boss know how to do my job, and too much stuff has to get done, she's off, so it falls into my lap. But I may work a short day and then skip down to pick the bones at Tower.

ejp626 said, "I think it is a terrible shame that the guy totally lost control like that. But I can't see any explanation other than he is a racist at core. You just wouldn't say things about sticking forks into people and stringing them up. No way." Even if Richards was on crack, dope, alcohol, etc, he has to have that racist BS in him in the first place, like Mel Gibson. I might have been inclined to think that the alcohol, etc may have played a part, but until I see David Duke drunk and saying that racism is wrong, I don't believe it.

On Ebay the $600 sets are going for $2000+! People have been lined up since Monday outside some Best Buys & a Sony store in midtown Manhattan. It's the 'Tickle me Elmo' of the video gamers.

Last night I was watching some of a documentary on eating disorders(HBO, name escapes me). What these women do to themselves is just horrifying. I was looking at some of them and thinking "if she gained 30 lbs. she'd look great".

Best of luck, RT- knock 'em dead!

I don't have any specific recs for Gayle- I just sold some stuff on Ebay and had some Paypal $. Then I get the email from Ayler records, and I don't have anything by Gayle, I listen to some samples and they sound good, and 3 discs for $30 + free shipping, I'm there.

Excellent stuff Noj, I like your work a lot!

SS1, It's too early for me- I don't play any Christmas music until after Thanksgiving at the earliest.

I hope neither of the NY teams try to get Zito- I don't think he can handle the cauldron that NYC can be for players. He seems a little too laid back for NYC. Chalupa, With Gooden available, I'm glad that Steinbrenner is not as involved as he's been- he might get all impulsive and sentimental and sign him up! His nephew's rantings don't surprise me, though- he's trying to create leverage when he has none at all. His choices are to play wherever he's dealt or to retire. Some of my coworkers suggested he be dealt to a terrible team like Pittsburgh just to pay him back for his rabble rousing!

I'd really like to see Gillick spend the money to get another starter. But there's mighty slim pickin's this year.

Although anyone dealing for Sheffield gets a proven big bat for $13m, but with $4.5m deferred, or $8.5m now. After a year they can let him go. The Phillies are dying to get rid of Burrell, but doesn't he have a big contract with not much production lately? He may be tough to move. Even though a lot of people are in love with Soriano for his power/speed numbers, he doesn't get on base a lot and he's not much with the glove. It seems he still can't lay off balls around his ankles.

Got your payment and I mailed it today.
