    Mrs. BBG Makes Great Joke

    OK, it was funny to me. We're watching the Dallas game, and they're going on about Romo's injury, and my take is so what, he landed on his shoulder. so what's his deal with the shoulder blade, and she says "he doesn't have a well-tempered clavicle".

    Toller Cranston, RIP

    We all know Joni Mitchel's Hejira, but I thought this would be a forum to post Toller Cranston's small involvement with our shared passion, that being music. Toller was featured in Joni's "Shadows and Light" DVD, as well as the Hejira album cover. Canadians were either proud or uncomfortable...

He's changed out the capacitors, checked the potentiometers, bypassed switches, and still a problem: sometimes after it's played a while, say 45 minutes, it will change speed, also, when it is started, sometimes (not...
