In 24 hrs, my formerly destroyed cd tower will be structurally sound. I just need to append the rotating base to it, flip it (the movers crushed it while it was upside down.) (just put the last epoxy in the joins). This weekend I should be able to get rid of 5-6 boxes of cds (the boxes, not the cds). At least nothing else looks too broken (the other cd tower was slightly damaged, and a little glue but it back together), and the other cd shelves look fine.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:24pm
Funky16Corners:

I still have most of my CDs in boxes. I need to find a way to get them out so I can get at them readily
  10:24pm

It’s apparently on a 1967 album with Hasta Luego? Nabors is all things to all people

I chafed at an obit/article author's choice to say "best known" for Gomer Pyle. Well that was true when I was in elementary school, but in the decades since, I've seen and enjoyed him plenty more in Mayberry revisits and that became a much more familiar association than the Marine base. For many others, too, I'm sure. I wanna holler in the writer's face like Sgt. Carter would at Gomer.

@Still b/p - Nabors was a talented guy, but I can't think of hin without thinking of the SCTV Merv Griffith Show skit, where there was an alternative Mayberry where the role of Gomer Pyle was played by impressionist Fred TRavalena

Well, my functioning tower has Abyssinians - Future Sound of London, so I have access to almost a third of my cds.

I play the Never Can Say Goodbye sung-melody line on two strings on the acoustic guitar. It does not sound like this.

The best-known thing sets my teeth on edge...as it does for at least a few other sets of teeth among commenters.

For no rational reason, right after the Jack Wilson track, I thought of Mose Allison in this set. (Yes I have a Chicago bias.) Then you took me away... Thanks Larry!

Peggy married Quincy Jones. Did he produce this?

Can you imagine the sort of vibes Rashida Jones grew up with? I think about that a lot when I go back and re-watch her scenes from "Parks and Rec".

She seems like a very cool person.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:09pm

@David - That Peggy Lipton LP was produced by Lou Adler. Predates her time with Quincy, I Think

Thanks. And never in Hair. But Twin Peaks!

On Largo, which also includes a cover of "Paranoid Android." If I didn't know it was a Radiohead tune, I'd enjoy it even more.
