2019-04-19 - 09:00-12:00 - The Midway

The Midway returns for its annual one and only Friday show of the year, April 19, 2019. The theme: funeral songs. For some, a sombre or pithy reflection. For others, a sentimental soundtrack - or even a jolly celebration. Some of these songs have become legends unto themselves, while others have birthed new traditions. Enjoy a wickedly woke wake as we explore some famous funeral tunes, and invite listeners to get in touch with their own bury melodies.

My Ten All-Time Favorite Albums.

July 17, 2020

I’ve previously written that one of my roommates during senior year in college was a very musically-oriented guy. Rick, the original “Buddman,” Budd was from Pittsburgh, PA. As a kid he learned how to harmonize from his Dad who was a totally-into-it barbershopper. In high school the Buddman sang in a doo wop group called the Del Renos. In college he played the Hammond B3 organ for the Paramounts, the only soul band on the Michigan State University campus during the late ‘60s. Later in life he helped form a doo wop group, Deke and the Blazers, that did some national touring. It also bears mentioning that Rick could play the piano by ear. After downing eight or ten Rolling Rocks, he would fall forward, bang the keyboard with his head, and play those 88s with his ear. Just kidding, folks. Kinda, sorta...

The Buddman recently listed his ten favorite albums of all time on Facebook. He included some interesting background and personal insights with his selections. He then suggested I do the same. I took him up on the challenge, but it turned out to be a more difficult task than I had anticipated. It was hard for me to compare music from the ‘50 and ‘60s to music recorded many years later. And it was not easy to narrow my list down to ten. Nevertheless, I finally did so. I’m not on Facebook, so I’ve listed my top ten here:

1) A Package of 16 Big Hits (Motown)--This 1963 release was Berry Gordy’s very first compilation album. I associate many of its tracks with getting my driver's license at 16 and bombing around Detroit in my Dad's new Pontiac Bonneville. I think it's so good because all of the songs were recorded before Motown began to rely on a formula that employed funk brother Jack Ashford's incessant tambourine. Almost every tune on this record sounds different from the next. For example, Marvin Gaye's "Stubborn Kind of Fella" showcases the Vandellas singing background vocals and flautist Beans Bowles playing a distinctive solo. While Mary Wells' "The One Who Really Loves You" features an arrangement that includes a hint of vibraphone, some sweet piano, a syncopated conga drum and background harmonies provided by an obscure group called the Love Tones. Another unique cut is "Come and Get These Memories" by Martha and the Vandellas. It sounds unlike any other tune the group recorded after it. The LP's original cover graphic is really cool, too--a package wrapped in kraft paper and "stamped" in postal fashion with the names of the tunes and the artists who performed them. 2) Live at the Apollo, Volume II (James Brown)--It was Rick Budd who first took me to the bridge and dropped me into the funk of James Brown, the "godfather of soul" and the "hardest working man in show business." I know that the Buddman favors Live at the Apollo, JB's first live album from 1963. But I put my money on this 1968 two-record set. When I was living at Water's Edge apartments during my senior year in college, we'd play Side 2 at Saturday night parties, get up to dance, and not sit down until it came to an end--19 minutes and 37 seconds later. The live versions of "Let Yourself Go," "There Was a Time," "I Feel All Right," and "Cold Sweat," are amazing. The set also includes renditions of such pre-funk Brown ballads as "Prisoner of Love," "Try Me" and "Please, Please, Please." The 2001 Deluxe CD Edition includes a tantalizing 23-second "My Girl" musical interlude. All I can say is "...good gawd...uhh...ooh ahh...hah..." 3) Hot Buttered Soul (Isaac Hayes)--Released during June of 1969, this four-track album put Isaac Hayes on the R&B map for Stax-Volt. When I returned to MSU for my final quarter of school in the fall of '69, Hot Buttered Soul supplanted the Beatles' Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band as my favorite pot-smoking album. It should not, in my estimation, be played in the background or listened to while idly vacuuming the living room rug. The only way to truly appreciate this masterpiece of Memphis soul is to "actively" listen to it--with the volume up, the lights low, in an altered state of mind, on the couch. Let Hayes, with his deep-baritone rap; the Bar-Kays, delivering some twangy, psychedelic guitar riffs; and the plaintive sound of violin strings, which were added to the mix in Detroit (presumably by musicians from the Detroit Symphony Orchestra), take you on a journey that starts low, aims high and hits bone-jarring crescendos on Hayes' interpretations of "Walk on By" and a 19-minute version of "By the Time I Get to Phoenix." Listening to this album can be damn-near orgasmic. 4) Chicago Transit Authority (Chicago)--Although this eponymous album was released in 1969, I did not come to truly appreciate it until a couple years later. (The group, by the way, was sued by the CTA and soon changed its name to Chicago). I practically wore out my copy--or at least Side 1 of this two-album set--at my first apartment as a single guy on Appoline in Dearborn. I love the way these Windy City guys meld jazz, rock. soul and orchestral influences to produce a sound in a category with Tower of Power, as well as Blood, Sweat & Tears. Besides lead guitar, bass and drums, you can hear the "pow" of brass and the serenity of woodwinds on this production, provided by a saxaphone, trumpet, trombone, clarinet and flute. You can also hear an array of percussion instruments such as cowbell, claves, tambourine, etc. I'd kill to have any one of the three distinctive voices possessed by Robert Lamm, Peter Cetera and Terry Kath as they take turns on lead vocals. The six-minute instrumental "Introduction" on Side 1 takes the listener on a journey that climbs hills and descends into valleys. It then transitions into the rock classic "Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is?" which, in turn, transitions into "Beginnings," yet another rock classic. The first cut on Side 2 features the underrated "Questions 67 and 68." While on Side 3 you'll find the self-indulgent "Free Form Guitar," which I hate, frankly, because it's "noise music" to my ear. There's also an excellent cover of the Spencer Davis Group's "I'm a Man." Best Chicago album of all time, in my opinion. 5) All Day Music (War)--I was in my first big-boy job at AAA when one day in 1971 I was knocked out by the title song from this album and walked over to Grinnell's music store after work to purchase it. There is no mistaking the unique sound of War as the group fuses elements of low-rider soul, rock, jazz and Latin rhythms. My main man Joe McCracken, some of the pals and I would invariably "tune up" singing "All Day Music" at "the pit," another name for my basement apartment, before heading out to Your Mustache, a raucous music room just two blocks from where I lived. I like all of the tunes on this album and want to give a shout-out to "Slippin' Into Darkness," but I can't lay enough praise on the title cut. It remains one of my all-time favorites, a true "nugget" that I never get tired of listening to. 6) The Best of The Guess Who Volume II (The Guess Who)--I'm not easily sold on groups with three guitars and a set of drums. I generally prefer rockers who add horns or a piano to the mix. It is particularly because of the skillful keyboard-playing ability of Burton Cummings, as well as his distinctive voice, that I love the work of these fellas from Winnipeg, Manitoba. In fact, before I lost my music collection in our fire of 2010, I owned more LPs by The Guess Who (probably 10) than any other group. This compilation was released in 1974. The track listing includes 11 tunes recorded between 1970 and '73, all written or co-written by Cummings, after long-time lead guitarist Randy Bachman left the group to form Bachman-Turner Overdrive, aka B.T.O. I absolutely love eight or nine of the cuts--"Albert Flasher," "Guns, Guns, Guns," "Sour Suite," "Glamour Boy" and more. But for my money this album's piece de resistance is "Runnin' Back to Saskatoon" with its building, straight-ahead momentum. M’boy Burton sings of hanging out in such Canadian prairie towns as Moose Jaw, Moosomin, Red Deer and Medicine Hat. How many times did we slam beers at the Phase 1 in Dearborn with that tune blasting on the juke box? After which we'd cruise back to my house on Rosemont in Detroit and blast it some more on the stereo. If "American Woman" is all you know about The Guess Who, make time to discover this Canadian group's north-of-the-border interpretation of rock 'n' roll. 7) Street Corner Symphony--(The Persuasions)--As I mentioned earlier, we'd tune up on "All Day Music" at my first apartment, but before we headed out the door for the "Mustache," we'd pull out this 1972 a cappella album, fire it up--along with a couple of jays--and sing some of its best tunes: a medley including "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother" and "You've Got a Friend"; an upbeat version of the Temptations "I Could Never Love Another (After Loving You)"; "Temps Jam,” a medley of Temptations classics; a superb rendition of "So Much in Love," originally done by the Tymes; and "People Get Ready," the old Impressions chestnut. Only then would we be truly ready to hit the bar. This album sparked my initial interest in music made with nothing more than the human voice. I eventually purchased four or five Persuasions albums and several by other popular a cappella groups. An aside: One summer during the early '70s there was a lengthy beer distributors strike in Detroit. Luckily, in those days, we could easily cross the Ambassador Bridge or go through the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel to get to Ontario to purchase Canadian suds. It was a sweltering Sunday afternoon when we picked up a case of LaBatt 50 Ale in Windsor and drove to some outdoor venue to see a concert featuring The Guess Who, the Persuasions and the Sun Ra Arkestra. Talk about an eclectic lineup of artists. To this day I consider that beer to be some of the tastiest I have ever swallowed, and that concert to be one of the best I have ever seen. 8) Crystal Green (Rainbow, featuring Will Boulware)--By the mid-to-late '70s, my musical preferences had started to take a turn. From then through the early 2000s I bought mostly what I call "WDET music," less commercially popular vinyl and CDs that I heard on Detroit's world-class (at the time) public radio station, as well as lots of jazz and fusion. The 1977 release of the rareish LP, Crystal Green (not to be confused with the group's similarly titled album, Over Crystal Green), is unquestionably my all-time-favorite jazz/fusion record. After I first heard the upbeat, six-minute "I Like It" on the radio, I knew I had to have the album for my collection. After I bought it and put it on my turntable at home, the mellow groove of the very first cut, "Hossan," knocked me off my feet. In fact, I love all six cuts on this album. I regret that Rainbow, featuring pianist Will Boulware, is not available on Spotify, my go-to music source these days. 9) Meet Me in Uptown (The Mighty Blue Kings)--I recall driving down Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak on my lunch hour one day in 1996, listening to WDET on my car's radio, when a raucous tune began to play. It immediately hit me. Bam! Right upside the head. I'd never heard anything quite like it before. When the deejay finally identified the hall-party sound from the set he had just played, it turned out to be "Jumpin' at the Green Mill" by the Mighty Blue Kings, a "jump blues" band out of Chicago. The seven-piece group with horns, piano and a stand-up bass features the "ballsy" baritone of Ross Bon. This unpretentiously produced CD was ahead of its time, recorded before Brian Setzer resuscitated swing music in the late '90s. "Jumpin' at the Green Mill" remains my favorite cut. Of the 13 selections on this album, here are the ones I'm partial to: "Loose Lips," "Cadillac Boogie," Big Mamou," "Meet Me in Uptown," "Rag Mop" and "Pink Cadillac." Kudos to WDET for opening my ears to this and other diverse types of music such as bluegrass, ska, world, Cajun, zydeco, Tex-Mex and sophisticated forms of hip-hop. 10) The Teenagers Featuring Frankie Lymon--I'm old enough, and bought records early enough, to be able to say that I purchased three 78 rpm discs in 1956 at the Two By Four Record Shop in Dearborn: "I Want You to Be My Girl" by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers; "Stranded in the Jungle" by the Cadets; and "Priscilla" by Eddie Cooley and the Dimples. But it was the summer of that year when my Auntie Julie surprised a then-nine-year-old "little Lenny" with his first 331/3 rpm "long play" album. This platter on the dark red GEE label sparked my lifelong love affair with doo wop (although I don't recall the music being called that in those days). Young Frankie's 13-year-old soprano had a far sweeter sound than Michael Jackson's shrill voice at the same age. And the Teenagers 17-year-old Sherman Garnes edges out Melvin Franklin of the Temptations as my all-time-favorite bass singer. I almost slipped the 1998 release of Trampoline by the Mavericks, featuring the catchy and energetic "Dance the Night Away," with the soaring tenor of lead singer Raul Malo, into the number 10 slot here. However, I couldn't turn my back on the kid group that is at the foundation of every musical emotion I have ever felt.

The end.

Arizona’s Deandre Ayton is Freshman of the Week, jumps Duke’s Marvin Bagley

We right here at CBS Sports activities have as soon as once more teamed up with the US Basketball Writers Affiliation and its Wayman Tisdale Freshman of the 12 months Award. Each Tuesday all through the common season we’ll be posting a Freshman of the Week winner along with our Frosh Watch, which is a rating of the highest 10 most statistically spectacular freshmen in males’s Division I school basketball. This weekly function will work hand in hand with the Tisdale committee and the USBWA. The winner of the award will probably be introduced in March, and a ceremony for all USBWA honors will happen in early April. The cycle for Freshman of the Week consideration runs from each Tuesday via Monday.

We’re in Week 2 of the Frosh Watch. There is a new identify that has hopped into the rankings. However earlier than we get to that, we now have to get to the large man out within the desert who’s serving to flip round Arizona’s season. 

Freshman of the Week

Deandre Ayton, Arizona 

The 7-foot-1 “energy middle” (my time period) out of the Bahamas is coming into his personal. He had a profession excessive of 29 factors and 18 rebounds in Arizona’s 88-82 dwelling win over Alabama on Saturday. That recreation was stacked with expertise. Rawle Alkins made his Arizona debut, Alabama freshman dynamo Collin Sexton saved his group in it. However Ayton was a power. He confirmed why he will stay within the dialogue for the No. 1 choose. He can’t be deal with one-on-one. His taking pictures talent set is such a useful piece — and let’s not neglect that Sean Miller is one season faraway from driving one other 7-footer, Lauri Markkanen, to a No. 2 seed within the NCAA Match.

Ayton’s a distinct participant than Markkanen, and way more harmful throughout. On the week Ayton averaged 21 factors (on 16-of-27 taking pictures) and 14 rebounds. Arizona defeated seventh-ranked Texas A&M final Tuesday. That was the deciding consider favor of Ayton this week. It wasn’t simply profession highs in factors and boards, however the reality he was actually good in two straight video games in opposition to groups that ought to make it into the NCAA Match. 

Heading into the season it was assumed that Allonzo Trier could be the extra doubtless candidate to be an All-American for the Wildcats. Trier nonetheless has an excellent shot at it, however Ayton might wind up because the group’s MVP. If each are enjoying at such a excessive degree going ahead, Miller’s group is not going to fall out of the rankings once more this season.

Frosh Watch

Listed here are the highest 10 freshman performers in school basketball from the beginning of the season till now. 

Remark: When you’ve got not learn it, take the time to be taught much more about Younger proper right here. I sat down with him for an prolonged interview out in Portland on the PK80, then did follow-ups with him, his father, coaches and teammates afterward. The hen stuff is just too humorous — and too actual. Younger got here near taking back-to-back FOTW titles. The nation’s main scorer averaged 28.5 factors, Eight.5 assists and a pair of.Zero steals on 18 for 40 taking pictures in Oklahoma’s wins over UTSA and USC. At this level, 1/Three of the way in which via the season, Younger already seems like a lock to complete prime 5 in scoring common. Freshman seldom obtain that. Subsequent recreation: Saturday at Wichita State.

2. Deandre Ayton, Arizona

Key stats: 20.5 ppg, 11.9 rpg, 1.Three bpg, 67.Three 2-pt FG%

Final week: No. Three

Remark: The person appears unfair on a school basketball ground. He is presently No. Four in KenPom’s Participant of the 12 months algorithm. Ayton is top-10 in defensive rebounding share, and I am keen to wager that he will have a number of 30-and-20 video games this season. He got here actual near it vs. Alabama. I lob this query out to you, although, as a result of it is one I have been tossing round my head the previous few days. For individuals who watched Greg Oden at Ohio State, which participant would you choose in case you had to decide on between the 2. Oden or Ayton? Subsequent recreation: Saturday at New Mexico. 

Remark: Bagley could not command Duke to a full comeback in Chestnut Hill, as Boston Faculty’s upset of the Blue Devils was the 1a. to Arizona State’s 1b for prime headlines of the weekend. Bagley went for 15 factors and 12 rebounds — plus 4 turnovers and 4 fouls in 40 minutes. Towards St. Francis (Pa.) final Tuesday, he had 21 factors and 11 rebounds in 26 minutes. That is clearly a three-man race for FOY. Bagley is at No. Three as a result of his PER (31.2, per Basketball Reference) is behind Younger (36.5) and Ayton (32.7). Not that controversial to have him slotted right here. His manufacturing’s been excellent, however Ayton and Younger have been higher in full so far. Subsequent recreation: Wednesday vs. Evansville. 

Four. Collin Sexton, Alabama

Key stats: 21.Eight ppg, Three.6 rpg, Three.Three apg, 47.1 Three-pt FG%

Final week: No. Four

Remark: Alabama’s dynamic level guard is establishing himself as a possible top-10 choose come June, however he had an attention-grabbing week. Bama bought an excellent dwelling W vs. Rhode Island final Wednesday, but Sexton had 11 factors and no assists. Then, at Arizona, he saved the Tide within the recreation — scoring 30 factors — however his group got here up quick, 88-82. A superb signal for the Tide: In six of his 9 video games this season, Sexton has shot at the very least 50 p.c from Three-point vary. That risk mixed along with his lightning pace make him a matchup downside. Subsequent recreation: Tuesday vs. Mercer. 

5. Brandon McCoy, UNLV

Key stats: 20.2 ppg, 11.1 rpg, 1.9 bpg, 63.Four 2-pt FG%

Final week: No. 5

Remark: McCoy goes to be missed all season — besides right here. If he retains up his present tempo, he is a lock to hover in that Four-6 vary right here on the Frosh Watch. UNLV is Eight-2 and McCoy is enjoying at a high-major degree in opposition to some good competitors. Final week he went for 22 and 10, with three blocks, within the Runnin’ Insurgent’s win over Illinois. His turnovers (Three.Four per recreation) are undeniably means too excessive for an enormous man, nevertheless. Subsequent recreation: Saturday at Pacific.

Remark: Nobody’s actually fairly positive how good LSU is but, however Waters has been one of the crucial useful gamers within the SEC. Actually essentially the most useful freshman so far. He averaged 14 factors, 10 assists and 6.5 rebounds final week vs. UT Martin and UNC Greensboro. Wednesday’s dwelling tilt vs. a high quality AAC opponent is a pleasant alternative for Waters, as he’ll go up in opposition to Rob Grey and the Houston Cougars. These back-to-back 10-assist video games could possibly be a harbinger of Waters increasing his position, and that might be a boon for LSU. Child has the products. Subsequent recreation: Wednesday vs. Houston. 

7. R.J. Cole, Howard

Key stats: 18.9 ppg, 6.Four apg, 2.7 rpg, 1.7 spg

Final week: No. 6

Remark: His group would possibly wind up as one of many 5 worst in Division I, nevertheless it’s not Cole’s fault. Howard is now 1-10, the one win coming in opposition to Central Pennsylvania. Cole’s confronted Indiana, Gonzaga, Georgetown — all on the highway. He is earned a spot right here. He’ll have to preserve his numbers at the place they’re to hold with the remainder of the frosh class, although. He has 17 factors, eight assists and three rebounds vs. undefeated Georgetown final week. Subsequent recreation: Thursday vs. Washington Adventist (NAIA)

Eight. Kevin Knox, Kentucky

Key stats: 15.2 ppg, 5.Eight rpg, 1.9 apg 54.Zero 2-pt FG%

Final week: No. 7

Remark: Knox slips after solely enjoying as soon as prior to now week, with that recreation being his worst in a UK uniform. In 31 minutes he scored 4 factors on 1-of-9 taking pictures and had 4 assists, 5 rebounds and 7 (!) turnovers in opposition to Monmouth. Afterward, John Calipari stated it was “good for the soul to go 1 for 9.” It is an incredible lesson for him. Kentucky is a quiet Eight-1, nevertheless it is not going to be a risk to win the SEC if Knox is not an all-star sort of participant. Subsequent recreation: Saturday vs. Virginia Tech. 

Remark: Cyclones followers clamored final week to get Wigginton on the Frosh Watch, and in mild of what he did vs. Iowa and Alcorn State (40 factors) there is not any purpose to exclude him. The freshman lead guard was the prize of Steve Prohm’s 2017 class. It is a yr of turnover for Iowa State, however that is not stopping Wigginton from dwelling as much as his four-star hype. He is already on his approach to changing into the most effective Three-point shooters in school basketball, and it is clear he is higher for ISU when he performs off the ball. Enjoyable participant, however ISU’s schedule will get a lot harder within the subsequent 2-Three weeks, so I am to see if he retains up his current tempo. Subsequent recreation: Saturday vs. Northern Iowa.

10. Hamidou Diallo, Kentucky

Key stats:14.7 ppg, Four.7 rpg, 2.Three apg, 1.1 spg

Final week: No. 9

Remark: Clinging to the 10 spot; Mohamed Bamba and Jaren Jackson are respiration down Diallo’s neck right here. But whereas Knox had his worst recreation at Kentucky vs. Monmouth, Diallo regarded to have had his greatest. The uber-athletic taking pictures guard had 23 factors on 62 p.c taking pictures and grabbed 4 rebounds and a pair of steals. As a result of Quade Inexperienced left the sport with an eye fixed damage and Sacha Killeya-Jones didn’t play, Diallo let his internal alpha take over. One of the best is clearly but to come back with him. Subsequent recreation: Saturday vs. Virginia Tech. 

Correction: The unique model of this story unintentionally famous Shai Gilgeous-Alexander lacking the Monmouth recreation for Kentucky, as an alternative of Sacha Killeya-Jones.
