Hey, I have some of these. Had no idea they were Martins.

Man called Rankin' Toyan! Scientist! Specialist!

The imbalance was caused in part by moving Milwaukee to the NL. Return them to the AL where they belong. Leave Houston in the NL, imo.

Never understood how anyone could say "This is an irrelevant game." It might not mean anything for the pennant race, but that does not make it irrelevant. That's pretty unimaginative. It might be some kid's first major league game, or just something to remember. I will always be grateful to the neighboring family who took me along to their trip to the Astrodome to see the lowly Astros play the Koufax era Dodgers for my first major league game. We sat in bum fuck Egypt centerfield, and we could hardly see what was happening between pitcher and batter, but it was magic to me, and hardly irrelevant at all! Been an Astros fan ever since. I remember Gene Elston and Lowell Passe doing the broadcasts. Thanks for the clips and the memories!

Have a good one!

Never missed a day. WAMU. 88.5. It went to HD radio only for a short while, then under protest they opened another tower and number (105.5) so you can catch it over regular radio in your car.

Not really. Uncle Dave Macon played until 1952. Doesn't get any more country than that! (Rather go to hell riding a mule than heaven in an automobile!) Uncle Dave used to yell "Murder" during the instrumental breaks of his songs!

Today would have been Bill Monroe's 100th birthday. He passed in 1996. Lots of tributes to him this week on bluegrass radio in DC. Really a giant of American music, especially bluegrass gospel. Quite a songwriter. I put him up near the top in country music! Don't know why he wasn't one of the first, 1961 inductees in the country music Hall of Fame along with Jimmie Rodgers, Fred Rose, and Hank Williams. (inducted in 1970) Really enjoyed Wade Mainer with the Morris Brothers. I have a CD he did with his wife Julia that is from his later days but still enjoyable!

I just put a link without the media/media tags that I see in your post, and it did it automatically for me. I was using Windows XP and Mozilla Firefox. Maybe the browser makes a difference? It didn't work when I simply removed your media and /media tags. Edit: My browser was Mozilla Firefox 6.0.2

Wonder how this will affect Allen Lowe's Really the Blues? I have been eager for an eventual release of volume 2. So this will make illegal all JSP copies of 2011's Acadian All Star Special? Music from the immediate post World War II era. This material had never even made it from 78s and 45s to the long playing record era, much less the CD and iTunes eras, and since it was not in the public domain and possible to reproduce without legal fears it was lost to several generations of musicians. That's a lot of culture lost. That's something to smile about? What a world! Somebody's not subtle. Why in the world is there ONE law to cover situations as different as this mean THEFT from the public domain and Chuck Nessa's issues, which I can totally agree about with him?

From the album Tim Hardin 3: Live in Concert Stunning singing. Sad he left us too soon. Him and Hank, both. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utyyDLIyNS0&list=FLl_-tD2va_T6TPkdzAyZzIg&index=1 Studio version, from Tim Hardin II http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAkcybHs6dc&feature=autoplay&list=FLl_-tD2va_T6TPkdzAyZzIg&playnext=1

Steven Strasburg starting tonight for Washington against LA Dodgers. Might be a rain-interrupted or delayed game. The manager says he wants Strasburg to go 4 innings or ~60 pitches. First MLB game back from Tommy John surgery, just about a year ago.

Courville and McGee Waltz from March 1929, Denus McGee and Sady Courville http://www.npmusic.org/DennisMcGee_Courville_McGee_Waltz.mp3 Something noble sounding about this sad, sad waltz! Unforgettable.

I thought Slim Whitman was more of a Nudie suit kind of guy. Or did the remark about cardigans and slippers refer to the audience? I am a little bit lost with that comment.

You might look into Rowman and Littlefield and University Press of America. I haven't published with them so I can't tell you my experience, but I worked a short while for them some years ago. I thought they were good with authors.

They grow them on the eastern shore of Maryland, but they are not as good as the ones from California, in my opinion. If it is not fully ripe when you buy one, just leave it on the counter for a few days until it is a little mushy. If you like peaches, they are very good this summer because of the dryness. They are grown near Thurmont Maryland in mountainside orchards.

Umpires threw out manager Davey Johnson AND his replacement bench coach Pat Corrales, AND Dusty Baker of the Reds in the Cincinnati-Washington 14-inning game today.

We did very well! 5 or so inches of rain. My basement is hardly wet at all. Did not lose power. A house up the street had a tree fall on the roof, but it didn't go through the house and they still have power. Where did the rain go? I guess we were so dry, the ground just soaked it up! It's worse in low-lying towns like Alexandria and Annapolis, and worse on the Eastern Shore and Ocean City, MD. Haven't been able to hear how Kitty Hawk did. We vacation in Kill Devil Hills in October. The paper says that the most damaging floods so far are from Norfolk to Richmond VA. Storm center currently about 40 miles from NYC. They tracked this one correctly! Good luck in NY, CT, RI, and MA!

Glad to hear it! In the DC area the worst is supposed to be from 10 pm to 5 am. Annapolis is already flooding. Neal

Good luck, East Coasters! I feel pretty safe in Montgomery County Maryland and expect only tropical storm force winds of 40mph, enough to cause some power outages. But you folks along the coast (especially North Carolina and the Chesapeake area) look like you will take the brunt of it with storm surge. Hope it weakens by the time it gets to New Jersey and points beyond.

2030: The Real Story of What Happens to America, Albert Brooks

Oh no! This is so sad!

I was glad he did When the Levee Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts.

Like the great DC earthquake destruction of 2010? http://jmckinley.posterous.com/dc-earthquake-devastation
