Well back to the music, who thinks that La Fiesta can't be heard without an electric piano?

Yeah, I guess I don't know what all the fuss is with the electric piano. La Fiesta, I think, can't be heard any other way. The introduction is classic Corea electric piano, and I think that an acoustic piano just wouldn't sound the same here.

I've had this date for a long time, and maybe I've spun it a handful of times. Its funny though because every time I do, I say to myself, what a fine date, but then I put it away and end up not playing it for years. Sure, you'll find better Pepper dates to choose from, but this one shouldn't be overlooked, and thanks to VSOP, this fairly obscure date is readily available and affordable. So, I recommend picking it up!

YOU BETCHA!

Oh, I see your point now Bruce. True, Nadal had a battle on his hands and quite frankly Verdasco was playing top five seed tennis and it took a toll on Nadal. But Nadal did clench that fifth set, even if it wasn't the most elegant way to end it. Needless to say, Nadal was the underdog going into the final and Fed let the errors creepin, which therein sealed Fed's chances in winning the match.

Nice little used cd haul at Half Price: Dave McKenna-Blues Up/Solo Piano-ABC Paramount/Fresh Sound Alexander von Schlippenbach-Pakistani Pomade-FMP/UMS

As much of an RFed fan as I am, I can't say that Nadal got where he did by luck, especially after that epic five-setter against Verdasco that landed him in the finals. If anything, RFed's side of the draw really opened up, especially after he got by Berdych in five sets and the Djoker retired. After that, Fed defeated Roddick in straights and had plenty of rest before the finals, whereas Nadal basically had a day to rest after defeating Verdasco in five. With all due respect, the championship was on Fed's racket and he dropped the ball (forgive the pun ) in the fifth set of the finals. It had to be one of Fed's sloppiest fifth sets I've ever seen.

Yeah, me too. I think I'm somewhere near or over 50 titles, thanks to an explosion of new and a truck load of used cd hauls last year, and yet I still feel that there is still more that I need

Still experiencing a deep-freeze; currently, 10 degrees F.

One of the new crop of Air Emergency's that were recently produced is on right now: "When Components Fail".

...pigs will fly, gas will go under $1 a gallon, and Weizen will abandon the forums to hang out on Democratic Underground. yeah, history dictates that....

Yeah, good point. So watching, tennis, because I like the fact that its one player versus another and the level of play is incredible. Playing, golf. I love being in the outdoors with friends and having a good time. I'm nowhere near the best at this game, but it gives me a good chance to bond with my friends and have fun too.

Nah, excellent album. You won't regret it. Don't pass up the new RVG of Quintet along with Bass on Top which was recently RVG'd too.

Excellent news! Thanks for sharing.

Yup, had the same problem with the Nadal v. Verdasco match because the length of the game surpassed the alotted 3 hour time slot. I got around this by DVRing the shows following the scheduled match-this worked out great with the Fed v. Nadal match. :rsmile:

Woops, thanks Paul

A bit of a warmup but now the concern is all of the melting snow on my roof, which is now leaking into my utility closet

The first four sets were high quality; it was the fifth where RFed dismantled himself. The doubles really sealed his fate. And like you said the 1st serve precentanges were appallingly bad. Rafa deserved the victory.

Right on. One of the greatest rivalries in sports. This one is almost as classic as the Wimbledon showdown.

It does look interesting. Any appearance on cd? Hopefully they'll keep the album cover art.

Thanks guys for your imput. I'll let you guys know what I think, when I pick it up.

Bull. the music is a "listener's item"; a "collector's item" is a collectable, which sure as hell isn't a CD-R. Yup. What Moose said.

There was a fan that made a call 'out' in the 8th game of the 5th set that I think threw Federer off. The umpire warned the fans, but even still, I'm not clear why he didn't challenge it. The doubles and unforced errors didn't help either.
