Thanks here also. Wonderful and uplifting that someone who's experienced what she has and who is over 100 years of age can still find the joy in life.

Sam Montgomery: "Where the Sweet Old Oranges Grow" from The Slide Guitar - Bottles, Knives & Steel Vol. 2 (Columbia/Legacy) A perfect record - Montgomery plays and sings the tune as if he has all the time in the world to play it. And it only took 50+ years for it to be released.

The Anderson/McCall, Braxton, and Cherry are all excellent records. Hope they find good homes.

Brooklyn is correct. The liner notes for Vic Dickenson's Nice Work CD state: "Almost all of Hammond's recordings were done in a small Masonic Hall in Brooklyn, at the corner of Lafayette and Clermont Avenues."

You always post some interesting sounding novels. Just wish I could make room in my own reading time to read some of them.

True. The Yanks have never been known to worry about $.

I am not mistaken, and what the blogger fails to acknowledge, is that Swisher and Granderson are creations of Yankee Stadium when it comes to power and I'm pretty sure they both have appalling splits. Then there's Gritty Gutty Goober. The writer criticizes Crawford for never slugging .500 when the guy they got dreams of slugging .400 someday. Regardless of the stats he quotes, its an underwhelming outfield and especially so outside of the friendly confines of the little league field in the Bronx. You make some good points, Dan. But I think that the blogger's point was would the cost of adding Crawford be worth it, given what he might add. I don't think so.

{{{sigh}}} I, for one, don't care if they make more money if they'll give us more music.

Always look forward to your morning vinyl listening, Guy.
