"Recordings" in this context seems to mean albums, i.e. collections of songs on lp or cd, because you are talking about the sequence of songs in a collection. It seems like you are saying that hard bop albums were formulaic. What about swing? Well, swing was not recorded on albums in its heyday. Songs came out as singles mostly. So no, not forumlaic in the same sense.

I think you want to try Commonwealth at the Columbia Heights metro station: http://www.donrockwell.com/index.php?showtopic=9766 My handle on that board is MC Horoscope.

It's official. Managers of the Year: Maddon Piniella

Have a good one!

Happy birthday!

Thank you very much!

Happy birthday! Enjoy celebrating it!

Have a bite, Mrs. Ford. The President will never know.

I don't really find fault with Maddon. It's hard to see how he would NOT be the AL Manager of the Year. Manuel should be the NL counterpart.

Phillies Win! Congratulations! Now, wait til next season!

Phillies small ball it to a lead in the bottom of the 6th, then Baldelli ties it with a homer in the top of the 7th! Thrilling conclusion with Phillies in 5? Or is this NOT the final game of the World Series? ------ ETA Beautiful Phils double play in the top of the 8th leaves the Rays with 4 more outs, with Lidge warming up!

Turns out they play 2-3-2. I am glad they tried to play Monday. There've been too many delays for possible weekend viewers as it is! Also, according to Buster Olney on Mike and Mike this morning the commissioner's office let both teams know on Saturday that it would NOT call a World Series game complete after 5 innings. Play would resume at the point at which a rain delay was called. At least the front offices of the teams knew. We just weren't privy to it.

Rays in 7

Happy birthday and thanks for sharing so many stories!

She was good with Sid Caesar in It's a Mad....World!

Consider what angered the woman in the first place. She got angry all out of proportion because you made a turn she didn't know about. I would say that the woman got angry out of proportion due to her own feeling of some kind of incompetence navigating the city. Then she took it out on you for "making her angry" by lecturing to her son that it was you who was incompetent with your manners due to the way you were brought up. Maybe you too got a little angry out of proportion, feeling put on the defensive by her, which was only natural. If your anger was disproportionate to her "threat," then maybe you just could remind yourself more often that you are not racist after all. Once you realized that the problem was with the lady, not you (as Daniel A. pointed out), you could probably easily let it go. I would say she is definitely confusing her child! GA Russell's point that this might be generational was also interesting.

I suggest John Mayall Back to the Roots which also has some blues players you might like.

Victorino hits Grand Slam off Sabathia! Phils up 5-1!

I liked Saboteur with Robert Cummings as the man unjustly accused of sabotage. Maybe not his best but still a good film. Finale in the Statue of Liberty.

Rays over White Sox Angels over Red Sox Rays over Angels in 7 Cubs over Dodgers Phillies over Brewers Cubs over Phillies in 5 Cubs over Rays in 6 Since I don't think the Cubs have many weaknesses, and the Phils finished well, I think the matchup to watch will be Cub v Phils.

Wait til next year!! (My prediction for the Nationals was a bit off!)

Congratulations, Phillies! We gave 'em a scare in the 9th inning!

I liked the Long Hot Summer, Hud, Absence of Malice, The Verdict. A versatile actor!

Works fine for me. I see posts later than June 12. Any other pages not loading correctly?

Well, to be fair, I made a lucky guess! I think I also predicted that the Blue Jays would be in the playoffs!! ISBY
