He's right. Giants 23, Cards 16, Yanks 15, Cubs 14, .... http://www.baseball-almanac.com/hof/hofstat.shtml Something tells me that 10 years from now the Yankees will probably be pretty close to the Giants in HoFers. However, the Yanks will still have way more WS titles then the Giants. Don't know where Baseball Almanac got their info. Wikipedia lists 18 Yankee players who entered the HoF as Yankees: Yogi Berra, Earl Combs, Joe DiMaggio, Bill Dickey, Whitey Ford, Lou Gehrig, Lefy Gomez, Joe Gordon, Goose Goosage, Waite Hoyte, Regggie Jackson, Tony Lazzeri, Mickey Mantle, Herb Pennock, Phil Rizzuto, Red Ruffing, Babe Ruth, and Jack Chesbro (as a N.Y. Highlander, the team that evolved into the Yankees). Still not as many as the Giants, but more than Almanac gives credit for.

Touching Story. I'm sure that young man and the family he's helping will have each other in their hearts for the rest of their lives.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holdays to a GREAT group of people!

One of my favorite Johnny Griffin recordings - there are a number that fall into that category. My copy is a Japanese repro, not a mono original, but the music is still great.

James Hanley: Against the Stream A fine writer who seems to fly under the radar - at least in the U.S.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

I've never heard Roy Haynes play live, so I can't make a judgement. As far as the clip goes - outdoor concert, YouTube sound and, as Dan noted, questionable miking and mixing - I still can't judge.

As a Yankee fan, I'm looking forward to next season. Sometimes when things aren't a given, they can be more interesting.

From Chuck's Okka sale: The Fred Anderson Trio: Live at the Velvet Lounge Kent Kessler: Bull Fiddle Guess I do play Santa to myself, after all.

Got Fred Anderson Trio: Velvet Lounge & Kent Kessler: Bull Fiddle this afternoon. Thanks again, Chuck.

I've never watched the show, but did a Google search & she has a recurring role. What you say would make sense.

Old Yeller Yoko Ono Timmie Rogers edit - Just realized that the second listing could be taken as a racial slur. Not meant as such - think screamer.

Shep told a lot of great stories. Anyone remember if he told any about jazz or music in general - apart from Mingus' The Clown LP?

I've heard some lousy Django transfers too. The Mosaic isn't one of those.
