As far as I know Dave Burns died in November 2009. My bad. Dave Burns did pass in 2009 - I see two dates listed. Don't know where I came up with a 2011 passing.

Rip Sewell and Bill Lee are spinning in their graves. Let's not jump the gun. The Spaceman is still a resident of this planet - and maybe a few others.

Stump Merrill Dallas Green Clyde King

That's an extremely callous, and I must add, ignorant comment. Most people who dedicate their lives to a dream, like eventually playing in the NFL rarely do it for money, particularly when they start as little kids. The NFL exploits this drive, and then later, when the player is used up, casts them into the trash bin. If you feel that my comment is callous and ignorant, so be it. It's what I believe. If that makes me callous and ignorant to you, again - so be it.

Happy Birthday! - and hope to see you back here soon!

Roscoe Mitchell's Before There Was Sound (Nessa) will be near or at the top of any list I might compile.

ESPN is reporting that National League MVP Ryan Braun, who last season led the Milwaukee Brewers to their first division title in nearly three decades, has tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug and faces a 50-game suspension if the initial finding is upheld.

All of us have personas. Some are just more flamboyant than others.

Another long time Dan Hicks fan here - 40 years or so. I have a version of "Somebody Stole My Santa Claus Suit" on a Rhino anthology - Bummed Out Christmas from the late 80's. Didn't know that he'd released a Christmas album. Thanks for letting me know.

The sides that Roy Eldridge recorded in Paris for the Vogue label in 1950 & '51 are generally overlooked but shouldn't be.

If the players don't care about their safety (and it's obvious that they don't, as long as they're paid enough), why should the NFL care? It's all about $$$$$$$$.

Happy Birthday, David!

Hoping that Mr. Jarman has a full recovery.
