Doctors See a Big Rise in Injuries for Young Athletes By BILL PENNINGTON Published: February 22, 2005 Around the country, doctors in pediatric sports medicine say it is as if they have happened upon a new childhood disease, and the cause is the overaggressive culture of organized youth sports. "They are overuse injuries pure and simple," Dr. James Andrews, a nationally prominent sports orthopedist, said. "You get a kid on the operating table and you say to yourself, 'It's impossible for a 13-year-old to have this kind of wear and tear.' We've got an epidemic going on." Typical injuries range from stress fractures, growth plate disorders, cracked kneecaps and frayed heel tendons to a back condition brought on by excessive flexing that causes one vertebra to slip forward over another vertebra. Most are injuries once seen only in adults. Full article Here: http://tinyurl.com/6ulxa

Happy Birthday!!!

I can hear Jack Teagarden singin' in my head.

Extrapolating from his current total of 203 posts after 5 days of Organissimo Board membership, Che will have nearly 15,000 posts by 2/16/06, the first anniversary of his first post. This total would tower over what any of the current champion posters have been able to achieve in TWICE that amount of time. This total would be roughly equivalent to Bobby Bonds socking about 125 homers this season. So the question becomes: Is Che taking something to enhance his performance? B-)

It's true that it needs to be played, but it doesn't necessarily need to be played by jazz musicians to achieve standard-hood[!]. But maybe we should amend the thread title to "Songs That Should Have Become Jazz Standards But Didn't".

That's one whale of a print...Wow! George Barford. 1937.

I've always liked the standard "I Won't Dance", music by Jerome Kern. Django Reinhart and Art Tatum recorded it, but give the quality of the melody and the tricky bridge I'm surprised more musicians haven't tackled it. Others?

I'd buy a CD to hear Lover Come Back to Me Cherokee What Is This Thing Called Love Love for Sale Willow Weep for Me Lover Man

I love Robeson as a cultural icon of the first half of the 20th Century, and I recognize his importance as a link between the African-American community and white radicals who were working for social justice. That said, the music he created is plodding and formal, though his voice is a spectacular instrument.

It's snowing here.

Happy birthday!!
