Any ideas when we might see the Casablanca figures Andy?

I misunderstood you, I thought you had to pay for the whole thing. 130 is not bad. I don’t think you can blame Apple on Henry. I think that’s a Manfred thing.

If you can’t see the games, how can you possibly comment? Of course, there is always radio and highlight shows. If not, we will just have to wait for you and Doug to resume your Laurel and Hardy show on the Pats. Que sera, sera!

So we shouldn’t plan on reading your pearls of wisdom in this thread this year?

No one ever said it was life or death but at least for me it gives me pleasure and the baseball season is something I look forward to and if it costs a little extra, that is not a problem for me. Most of the games (140 I’d guess) are on the Mets station (which is included in my DirecTV...

It’s already there. You can complain about it but that’s the reality: watch or don’t watch.

If you are interested in jazz, I’d invite you to join the Steve Hoffman Forum, the largest music forum worldwide. It covers all kinds of music but you might be interested in the Listening to Jazz and Conversation thread.

One reason I switched to DirecTV years ago was do I could get the Mets games. Otherwise, no games. I already have Apple so no extra cost there. I obviously have ESPN, TBS and TNT so no added cost there either. Some games will be on Peacock and that’s where I draw the line, mostly because I don’t...

That’s not quite true because they have wanted Taiwan to be reintegrated into China long before Taiwan became a technological powerhouse. It’s historic and cultural.

It’s a different world broadcast wise now. Games are on your local broadcast channel, Peacock, Amazon and Apple. You need subscriptions to all of them to watch your team. That’s just the way sports is nowadays.

Kevin, Suffice it to say every genre has its classifications. Whether you choose to learn about them is entirely up to you. If you are interested in jazz and you seem to be, I’d suggest reading Ted Gioia’s excellent book on the history of jazz. There is also the Ken Burns series. Not perfect...

You might find this interesting. It’s unlocked. Everything After This Will Be Harder’: Gen. Stanley McChrystal on Iran David French talks with the retired general about the “great seduction” America fell for in Iran...

Sorry Kevin but as a fan of 25 years plus jazz records are broken down into certain categories, if you will: swing, bop, hard bop, post bop, soul jazz, avant garde and free jazz. That’s the way we view things. Calling it smooth jazz is simply incorrect because smooth jazz is its own...

And do you think that we will be able to do occupy Kharg Island easily without massive casualties or that the Iranian regime will sit back and do nothing, such as perhaps attacking desalination plants, which are critical for survival in the Middle East. I think the Israelis have the capacity or...

Technically, smooth jazz is different. Think Kenny G or Bob James. Art Blakey and the JMs are hard bop. Moanin, written by Bobby Timmons, is one of the great jazz songs, the title track to Art’s 1959 album. This is the album version.

which they can make inexpensively. The Iranians have been providing drones to the Russians and the Ukrainians have offered to provide drones or drone technology to the U.S. Regarding the people of Iran rising up, that’s unlikely to take place because of what happened in January. The regime...

Do you not get Netflix?

I can you get a list of the Lawrence range but as to the others no. Ron has taken his site down so it’s hard to compile a list of other ranges.

I only have three, a special Tiger made that is unique, a Honey and a British tank Rick made for me when I visited the factory in Shanghai.

I have no doubt he is and I’ve always enjoyed his posts but my point remains that bank transfers (unlike PayPal) offers no protection to a buyer.
