Today's wines: 2019 Pezzi King Row 22 Zinfandel (excellent) & 2016 Kinsella Jersey Boys Cabernet Sauvignon (still drinking great).). No complaints for these wines.

The Wizards are 4-22. They have the worst record in the NBA. Were you expecting something different?

I saw a cellar like that once. It was after the owner died at the age of 83. That much wine is hard to drink, especially when those bottles are at their peak. I have a tough time judging when bottles are ready to drink & I only have about 250 bottles. The saddest thing about that huge cellar I saw was that it was filled with wines that weren't very good by the time he opened them. He opened some really old bottles at a Christmas party just before he died and they were all bad. No one would drink them.

But the Spurs are still just 15-13 and out of the playoffs.

But YouTube audio is compressed so downloading WAV from there is just uncompressing that audio, so it isn't going to be WAV audio quality. I may just get the mp3s from Amazon.

I have not found them at any legit website.

Christian Sands - Christmas Stories (Selections)

Dig the socks.

I think I’m close enough to the stage tonight. 😀😀

Pianist Christian Sands is playing selections from his Christmas release at Scullers in Boston tonight. Being so close to Christmas, the Hilton hotel where the club is located has rooms for $110, so me & the wife are making it a night out.

I would think that if there were some sort of benefit to subscribing, there might be more subscribers. I subscribe to another forum that has ads. Subscribers don't see the ads. Maybe not pertinent here, but an idea to think about. Since this is a music forum, maybe have some kind download available only to subscribers?

People seem to be showing him how much they appreciate him right now. https://www.gofundme.com/f/coming-together-for-the-great-jazz-pianist-richie-beirach I'm glad to see he's getting some help with his medical expenses but at the same time, pretty steamed that he needs to ask for it.

Frank Foster & Frank Wess - Frankly Speaking (Concord)

This is such an interesting read. I have to pick up his books. Which one is recommended first, "Jazz Anecdotes" or "From Birdland To Broadway: Scenes From A Jazz Life"?

This place costs $1,900.00/year (actually $1,855.00 but I'm rounding up). $1,900/50=38. So we'd need at least 38 subscribers to keep the place open.
