See http://copyright.gov/docs/sound/ "Although sound recordings were first given federal copyright protection in 1972, sound recordings made before February 15, 1972 remained protected under state law rather than under the federal copyright statute. As a result, there are a variety of legal regimes governing protection of pre-1972 sound recordings in the various states, and the scope of protection and of exceptions and limitations to that protection is unclear. Current law provides that pre-1972 sound recordings may remain protected under state law until February 15, 2067. After that date they will enter the public domain."

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Big 59!

Ricardo Montalban. Cordoba HAS what he needs.

Web! He's worldwide.

What happened? Nationals are not offering contracts to Adam LaRoche or Raphael Soriano. They DID make an offer to Denard Span.

It's from the German. For people who used to garn the bums. Glad to see a close game in number 7, no blow out! Congratulations!

Love the way this series is proving the experts wrong! "SF bound to win. Bochy never makes a mistake." Hello Game 2 "Royals bound to win. Bullpen too good!" Hello Game 4 This is one of the most enjoyable World Series in recent memory!

National League man here. Will root for Giants!

She didn't evolve from monkeys!

From Tom Boswell's column in the Washington Post "If you send the winning run home on a wild pitch (Aaron Barrett); if you can’t field a two-hop grounder back to the mound (Gio Gonzalez); if three players look at each other and none of them picks up a sacrifice bunt attempt (Gonzalez, Anthony Rendon, Ramos); if you can’t throw a strike with the bases loaded and walk home a run (Gonzalez); if you get confused and throw home when no Giant is actually running toward the plate (LaRoche), squandering an out, then you have no business staying at baseball’s October party." That pretty much sums it up, painful as it was to read. When Tom's right, he's right.

I watch a lot of Nationals' games but today I was cooking all afternoon and only walking in on the game every now and then to check the score. The tradition of announcers not jinxing the pitcher by mentioning he's got a no-hitter going kept me from knowing about it until the game was over!

And when you realize a single used to be two songs, not one, to me it seems cheap beyond belief!

I wonder if Apple can make it so that albums or songs you get on iTunes in the future won't be loadable on iPod Classic?

Do you mean Chris Richards' piece? http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/08/11/all-what-jazz-or-how-to-declare-something-dead-without-listening-to-it/

Good Will Hunting! (RIP)

It's like I was saying the other day. Whatever happened to comedy that mocks the powerful?

They're giving parody and satire a bad name.

That was great! Thanks for posting. Never saw footage of baseball at the LA Coliseum.

Belated best wishes! Glad to hear about Lucinda.

I thought comedians were supposed to mock the powerful and popular. Instead so many are just hopping on the bandwagon, going for cheap laughs.

My friend Berigan will know what I'm talking about here: Wash Post 8-2-14: "The Nationals and Braves continue to mimic one another, for both richer and poorer. From June 28 to July 13, the Nationals went 10-4 but gained no ground in the NL East. In the past 10 days, the Nationals have gone 3-6, but they’ve only lost a half game because they Braves have gone 4-6, including a loss last night on the West Coast in which they allowed the Padres 20 hits." The thrill of victory, and the agony of defeat!

Loved him in The Great Escape.
