Re: Old Timey Music for Howard and DC
Brad Delp wasn't singing in falsetto. He hit those notes naturally. Boston was classic in the sense that, their first LP from start to finish, garnered airplay from AOR format radio stations. Golden age of rock, baby. Parties, radio, driving in the car, your buddy's apartment -- Boston was there. A...

Re: The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum MMXV
Finley is a bit of a stretch. Perhaps you're joking?
Caminiti is perhaps the saddest PED's case in baseball history. He'll go in to the PED's Hall of Fame in the first year's class, along with Canseco and Lance Armstrong.

Re: The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum MMXV
Sheffield is very "PED suspected". He openly described his said-to-be unwitting steroid use when living and training with Barry Bonds during part of one winter. That was a pretty short period of time. There's no evidence or even rumors I've heard that link him to PED's beyond that. I'd be...

Re: Old Timey Music for Howard and DC
1976. I was into blues, beebop and bluegrass. But then came the inescapable first album by Boston. Hook-filled tunes, Brad Delp's sweet lead and harmony vocals, and Tom Scholz's amazing guitar that was all about his multi-tracking and studio effects. The album was a big part of the soundtrack to tha...

If -- and it's a dream -- Trump can actually down-size American military commitments overseas, this might stick for a long time. Time enough for a future government that is genuinely progressive -- another dream -- to utilize the savings to do good things in this country.

Your new diagnosis may well be right. But my point was broader. The leak that you see at point X may be actually coming through from the outside of the roof system at point Y, which could be 10 feet away. Water can get through the first layer (shingles) and then travel through lower layers (e.g., ol...

Water is notorious for traveling unseen within a roofing system.
