BBC drama State of Play. Somewhat far fetched screenplay, but excellent ensemble acting. Interesting that director David Yates paired Bill Nighy and Kelly Macdonald from State of Play for the BBC film The Girl in the Cafe, which he also directed. I saw Girl before I saw State, & that caught my attention.

...and a game can only be played when someone else participates. I don't use the ignore function here, but I do avoid engaging those who seem to be simply baiting for a response. We empower these guys by getting sucked in to their BS. Well said.

Late for the party, but I ordered 20 items from the Oldies.com sale. Received 15 today. If the rest come sometime, that's ok. If not, I'm still happy. No point in listing all, but I'm looking forward to hearing: Kid Thomas & his Algiers Stomper featuring Emile Barnes Percy Humphrey's Crescent City Joy Makers Elmo Hope: Hope-Full The Jon Eardley Seven Don Friedman: Metamorphosis Thad Jones, Frank Wess ...: After Hours Sonny Stitt and the Top Brass Probably nothing there that will change my world - that doesn't happen often - but I hope there's some good music in that bunch.

Best birthday wishes, MG!!
