And with that, I'm out of Bill Withers songs.

 

We got the big ones... Lovely Day would be the other... After that we got em all.

He's never managed, has he? Yet so many people think he's the 'heir apparent.'

 

No, he has not managed. He might be the "heir apparent", but I have never deemed him to be as such. Who knows, he might be awful at it. Don't get me wrong, I only said I'd be okay with it, just as I'd be okay with the Twins hiring Tim Wallach of the Dodgers or Willford Brimley of the New York Knights.

Wasn't saying you thought that ... just that so many do. And, while I'd be somewhat 'meh' about it, I don't get why people think he should be the next manager when he's never done it. for all we know he wouldn't be good at it. And, personally, I'd rather go outside the organization, but that's likely not going to happen.

 

Heh ... like the reference ... like the movie. It's up there with Field of Dreams and League of Their Own, as far as baseball movies go.

Personally... I can't get passionate about Managerial choices unless I can see how they handle players... And since I haven't seen any of them handle players directly... I end up being hesitant to fully advocate anyone.

Okay ... testing if I did my signature correctly ... name the movie.

 

James Earl Jones playing the role of Terrance Mann.

 

You know... We never did find out if he came back from the cornfield.

 

If he didnt... Someone in Boston is saying... "now why don't he write".

You know, in the book, it wasn't Terrance Mann but J.D. Salinger; and Salinger was quite miffed about his name being used in the book in the first place so did not give permission to use his 'likeness' in the movie.

This one went over my head. I've never been Bill Withersed before.

 

Kudos to you and River Brian

 

Ain't No Sunshine, Lean on Me and Just the Two of Us are the only ones I know.

I didn't know that... Makes sense... I heard that Salinger was kind of a recluse.

I know that Faith No More may be more in your Kitchen... It's in my Kitchen to... But Bill Withers is worth checking out for a change of pace.

I might not get to go to the final Miracle game after all ... kinda bummed about that, but we'll see.

Well, now it's 'Dance of the Reed Pipes' from The Nutcracker

 

That better and quite the seque.

 

So... Music... Desert island... 3 songs to listen to for the rest of your life... What 3 songs?
