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...

Now Tyrone, that is a hurricane you know is a troublemaking thug.

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

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 ...

Great news about Jeter coming back to play for the Marlins. The game needs him.

Curious if anyone here regularly uses or has had success with intermittent fasting. Friend of mine from high school is a nutritionist and a bodybuilder and turned me on to it, showing me some pretty amazing results he's had with some scientific studies that show it to be more effective than just ea...

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.

DC47

Whoa! Bellinger and Puig for Trout. Now that is bold.

DC47

That was widely rumored amongst those on the inside. The Cubs getting Verlander and Cabrera for Rizzo was a bigger surprise.

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.

They could tour as a trio. I may have mentioned Tal Wilkenfield before. Last time I saw her, she was leading a band and opening for The Who. A fully mature bass player, vocalist, composer, and band leader. Here she is closer to her beginnings with some random guitar player who, although he hired a m...

Few people seem to know of Larry Graham. But everyone has heard his bass line on those Sly Stone hits.

DC47

Smooth. Drops my blood pressure to hear the sweet instrumental track behind the vocalists.

Here's a funkier version of an Emeralds hit.

Congratulations and best wishes!

You're wise to realize that plans (pro and con) for additional kids often go out the window when you are face-to-face with the real deal. I imagine you'll have many huddles in coming months.

My wife and I have had numerous conversations about college even though our son is 3. We hope he does want to choose higher education but we have decided if he wants help he can go to an in state public school. My education was excellent for the money. If he wants to go to said private school that ...

Of the many conventional things my oldest daughter has already passed on, college visits is high on the list for the smartest decision. My guess is that they are worthless or worse (actively deceptive) for 70-90% of high school students. Also high on the list is GRE prep classes. So the college admi...

Here's the three-way deal I just heard from my sources: - Celtics send Isaiah Thomas to the Pistons - Pistons send Reggie Jackson to the Yankees - Yankees send Bird to Celtics The latest is that the Cubs are looking to deal as well.

If it's true, what a tragic end for a great player. What he's doing at age 35 in the EPL is pretty amazing.

My only car accident. The other car -- teen driver -- tried to turn in front of me but didn't come close to making it. We hit head on. The combined speeds were estimated at 90 MPH. Barely time to touch the brakes. I went over the steering wheel and through the windshield -- probably not wearing a se...

Those are some really great rock pedigrees.

So do tell. How does an 11 year old process being "at Alice Cooper with a wasted 14 year old brother and his friends, two of whom were on acid, watching a man in panty hose get beheaded on stage?" What goes through your mind?

Those are some amazing concert experiences. This has got me to thinking about the idea that much of what we become is formed when we are young. In the case of music, it's clear that many of us imprint pretty heavily on what we liked in our teen years and early twenties. And what could driving imprin...

How accurate are these missiles?

Would firing this many make this air base unusable for a long time? Take out a lot of planes?

Sad to hear. Team owners so often want something other than basketball knowledge, articulate speech, and class in a broadcaster. It's a sign of these times. Phil Chenier is a friend of a friend. My pal used to play ball with him in gyms around Berkeley. He said that Chenier would jump over him (6'6&...

Fascinating analysis. The rationale for excluding results before 1968 is sound, as the author is trying to explore plausible versions of objective calculations. However, if my goal it to determine the greatness of male tennis players (dropping the objectivity criteria a bit), I've got to break the 1...

Peak Seger.

Seger's former drummer, and my wife's former student, performs here. Before his tragic accident, you could hear him on Live Bullet drumming up a storm and doing the answering vocals to Seger's lead on a song or two.

Still a rocker.

Whither Bob Seger's catalog I knew his stuff wasn't available on streaming services, but I wasn't aware that he/his management had let so many of his albums fall out of print and essentially disappear from the market. Nice performance of a wonderful tune. It's amazing what some old Woody Guthrie no...
