So the AL series won't resume until Friday, no matter the late date or the weather? This could affect momentum.

Bill Brasky's Funeral. http://snltranscripts.jt.org/96/96nbrasky.phtml "He had a four day heart attack!" "They found sixty dollars in change in his stomach!" "He did all the make-up on the Planet of the Apes movies." "He grew a third arm and kept it in a vault!"

Salute to all the teams qualifying for post-season! I was interested in Atlanta, but they were eliminated today. For my home team in Washington? Wait til next year! (it might take a lot of years, actually!). Convinced it's bad karma embracing the name Nationals/Senators. Guess I should be glad we didn't name them the Wizards or Redskins. Can't anybody name a ball team around here?

Great drummer with Frank Frost, Big Jack Johnson, and the Jelly Roll Kings, and before that with Sonny Boy Williamson (Rice Miller). Obit Got to see him wailin' away at the Twist and Shout club mentioned therein. RIP.

What in the WORLD?

No, but their bird can sing.

Well, here's Pee Wee looking like Uncle Junior and singing! Waltz for Everybody (or the Whole World's Waltz) These are from a television studio program in 1985, hence the cowboy shirts etc. The singer's style looks a lot like my older brother's, with the greaser hair and all.

You haven't seen stiff stage presence until you see one of those old Cajun bands! Catch him around 1:10! (Looks like Uncle Junior)

Loved him in the movie Nashville! "My brother fought with Patton I saw action in Algiers But we must be doing something right To last 200 years!"

Have a great one!

This is the worst Internet dating service ever!

Monitor expressions among musicians, industry professionals, and fans on music and the public domain.

Merle Haggard is on record saying he thought Glen Campbell had more talent than anybody he ever knew in the music business, fwiw.

Cracker Barrel? Let's see what Senator Worthington Fuller has to say about that!

Happy birthday from the other side of the county!

Strong point, Dan! The survivors of an intentional suicide often go through a hard time of self-recrimination, almost blaming themselves for not having been able to intervene, assuming that were possible. Just a terrible scene altogether. I am sorry for his family. I certainly won't be joking about him. I rather remember his good work.

He did a good job playing Woody Guthrie in Bound for Glory. Now, if only they had made a movie about Woody's merchant marine days, his marriage to Marjorie, his relationship with the Almanac Singers, Leadbelly, Cisco Houston, Brownie and Sonny, Jack Elliott, and his getting Huntington's Chorea! He had some interesting times. Could have called upon even more of Carradine's quirky talent.

I placed my order! Thanks for bumping this up. Rob Bamberger featured this on Hot Jazz Saturday Night (WAMU in our nation's capitol) some time ago and I plum forgot to "act now!"

Thanks for sharing! Wonderful playing, beautiful record.

We were talking earlier about how playing an instrument can enrich your life, even if you can't make a living as a professional. This article and video speaks to that: http://www.theind.com/content/view/4299/54/

Tinker Bell spoke with the psychic? And I thought the Dog Whisperer had something going!

Some Gennett material may be owned by Universal. Decca acquired some of Gennett's jazz catalog when Gennett folded. And Universal bought Decca. Interesting Gennett history here: http://www.starrgennett.org/stories/history/5.htm "As the year of 1930 went on, and the Depression deepened, the dual effects of the economic collapse and the rise of radio proved too much for most of the surviving independent record labels. A number of them were merged into the American Record Corporation, which eventually would acquire first Brunswick and then Columbia; others, such as Grey Gull and Emerson, disappeared without a trace. Even the massive RCA Victor company gave serious consideration to leaving the record side of their business. In Richmond, the Gennett firm noted that full-price records weren't selling; as a result, they quit producing Gennett records at the end of 1930, with the last issued record being #7323. However, the label continued the production of the Champion and Superior labels. Champion continued until the end of 1934, with its last issued record being #16832. At that time Gennett left the popular record business. The Champion name and trademarks, along with some pressing facilities and the rights to some Gennett-recorded material, were sold to the Decca Record Company, who continued the label into 1936. Gennett continued to press and market sound-effect records for radio use until about 1941. In 1943, the use of the Gennett name (and, more importantly during wartime shortages, its shellac allocation!) was sold to Joe Davis and his partner, Oberstein, who pressed records under that name into 1945."
