Sad news about losing Bobby Murcer this past weekend. He came into the major leagues with the tag "heir-apparent" to Mickey Mantle as the center fielder for the NY Yankees. Now, of course, no one can live up to those expectations, and Bobby didn't, but he one was hell of a ballplayer and an even greater man.
Murcer played for 17 seasons between 1965 and 1983, mostly with the New York Yankees, whom he later rejoined as a longtime broadcaster. A Gold Glove winner and five-time All-Star, Murcer led the American League in on-base percentage in 1971, and in runs and total bases in 1972.
From all accounts Bobby Murcer was one wonderful man. Young players all talk about how he was approachable and generous in his openness when he was asked for critiques and advice.
Murcer was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2006 and had whole nation rooting for him after he was diagnosed and said he wanted to return to broadcasting. Mercer did return to the booth on opening day last season.
Murcer passed away Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City surrounded by his family. He was 62 years old.
He is survived by his wife Kay, his children, Tori and Todd, and his grandchildren.
Bobby Ray Murcer(May 20, 1946 – July 12, 2008)
I like Saki...yup I do...
One of my guilty pleases began last night..."Big Brother"...yeah I do watch it and it is the one reality show I have thought about sending in an application to become a contestant. Would be nice to get a shot at that $500,00000...but the only way I could do that is if I had like hit the lottery and then I wonder if I would still want to go into seclusion for that long a time.
Though I think it would be fun to play head games with the other contestants and I honestly think I could win the whole dang thing...
Sure I play the lottery....don't you? Do you have plans for the money if you do? Hell sure I do...well at least the beginning...There are about 6 things on the list I wuld do and one of them would then lead the direction for my life going forward...
What? OH, you are waiting to hear the plans....hummm OK, let's see...do you believe talking about things like this jinx you from having it happen? Or do you think you should voice your dreams and fantasies for them to happen? Or don't you think it matters one way or the other?
Let me know your thoughts on this and then depending upon the responses and my personal feelings, I might give you the list of items...bwahahahahahahahahha

Starr...brain cramp...the CD is sitting on my table...it will go to the Post Office tomorrow...
Trying to get a hold of some new music that we will be able to share here and one guest will get a copy...
His name is Newton Faulkner and the video for his first single, “Dream Catch Me” is now available HERE. He has a nice sound to his music. I would reserve judgment until I hear the rest of the album.
Already blazing up the charts on VH1’s VSpot Top 20 Countdown, I am waiting for the CD to come to me and I will review it here on The Couch.
“Dream Catch Me” is the first single from Newton Faulkner’s debut album, HAND BUILT BY ROBOTS, released on April 29.
Also, be sure to check out Newton at this summer’s hottest music festivals including the Mile High Festival in Denver , CO on July 19th and Lollapalooza in Chicago , IL on August 3rd.

From my digitizing this weekend...I ran into a few interference problems...getting a ton of static. So it took longer to get each album done than I am used to...
I am working on moving things around to try and solve this problem.
This is from the DOG DAYS album from Atlanta Rhythm Section...The album opens with this song, "Crazy". I always considered them a "lite" Lynyrd Skynyrd. All snaps or pos were not able to be deleted without altering the music tracks.
