Re: Old Timey Music for Howard and DC
The B-3 was certainly a magical instrument in rock, soul, and jazz starting around 1960. The thin "keyboards" that followed couldn't do it for me after hearing the B-3 masters. He's not up there with Jimmy Smith and Booker T for me, but Brian Auger was certainly playing in the major league...

I played in a band with a bass player who was cool enough to get that nickname from this song.

Re: Old Timey Music for Howard and DC
Have you seen Robben Ford play much? I'm a fan. He is a Mendocino County native, and played around Northern California when he was breaking in during the '70s. He broke pretty fast, as he quickly went from playing with his brothers to playing with Miles Davis and the Tom Scott band that backed Joni ...

Re: MLB 2017 - August
I suppose Angels fans may not fully appreciate Bellinger's potential, plus the value involved. Still, Trout is Trout. This is like trading Mantle at his peak. Simply hard to grasp how it could be a good thing. Give your friend a few days.

Larry and Steve certainly expanded some boundaries in the performance above. Tal and Jeff do a bit along those lines here, albeit a bit more playfully.
