The St. Louis Cardinals 100th Anniverary Baseball Card set pt 3

Well it's still very cold here in St. Louis, so I thought I would do part 3 of the McDonalds tribute set of baseball cards for the 100th anniversary of the St. Louis Cardinals back in 1992.

And so here is the third set of cards. This page contains the following Redbirds:

Mart Cooper, Burleigh Grimes, Red Schoendienst, Stan "The Man" Musial, Enos Slaughter, Keith Hernandez, Bill White, Orlando Cepeda, Julian Javier

Finally we see some players I actually saw playing baseball for the Redbirds, starting with the greatest Cardinal of them all, Stan "The Man" Musial.

Feelin' No Pain, the Version People Remember

Here's my first YouTube attempt. This is the song "Feelin' No Pain" written by Dion for the movie "Ten Girls Ago." The movie never saw the light of day; the song was given to Dion's back-up group, The Del Satins. This is their version of the song.

Enjoy.



I like this much better then the version Dion himself performed for that movie that was never released.

The Passions

This is one of those groups that I actually do not remember from the time their songs were popular. Larry Miller, who did the original KADI Oldies show, told me back in 1972, that this group was quite popular in the New York area back in the late 50's and early 60's. The first time I came in contact with this song was on Laurie's "Greatest Golden Goodies" LP that I bought back in 1971. I came across this YouTube clip and thought I'd share it with all of you.



An interesting thingg about "Just to Be With You" is that the demo version of the song was sung by Carole King and Paul Simon.

Enjoy.

The Day the Music Lived

Back in late 1986 I received a package from Columbia House with a CD that I was eagerly awaiting. I hurriedly put the disc into my CD player and was stunned. I immediately called my friend Bob and shouted out, 'listen to this, Buddy Holly is alive and singing in my living room.'

The disc was "Buddy Holly, From the Original Master Tapes on MCA. At the time I had not heard a lot of music on CD. And while a lot of people were complaining about the coldness of digital reproduction, I was taking a different approach. This technology was allowing me to hear things I'd never heard before on vinyl records. This would continue over time with other CDs that I have in my collection; some of them I will mention from time to time. And while I know there has been another Buddy Holly CD set that actually improved on the sound quality of this CD, I have a warm spot in my heart for this disc.

So, as we approach the 50th anniversary of the death of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper, I like to remember that day the music lived in my living room.
