Music harmony synonym7/26/2023 Life couldn't be better.įor more than 20 years I was the editor of The $ensible Sound magazine and a regular contributor to both its equipment and recordings review pages. In addition to writing for the Classical Candor blog, I served as the Movie Review Editor for the Web site Movie Metropolis (formerly DVDTown) from 1997-2013. Today, I'm retired from teaching and use a pair of bi-amped VMPS RM40s loudspeakers for my listening. In the early Seventies, I began writing for a number of audio magazines, including Audio Excellence, Audio Forum, The Boston Audio Society Speaker, The American Record Guide, and from 1976 until 2008, The $ensible Sound, for which I served as Classical Music Editor. ![]() In the late Sixties I began teaching high school English and Film Studies as well as becoming interested in hi-fi, my audio ambitions graduating me from a pair of AR-3 speakers to the Fulton J's recommended by The Stereophile's J. And I've been doing it for a very long time, my appreciation for classical music starting with the musical excerpts on the Big Jon and Sparkie radio show in the early Fifties and the purchase of my first recording, The 101 Strings Play the Classics, around 1956. But Martinez never gave up a walk-off homer in his career.Understand, I'm just an everyday guy reacting to something I love. ![]() Hey, you’re an All-Star if you know that they all homered against Pedro Martinez. The Cubs made you queasy with a record of 9-17 (.346) on Sundays, their worst day of the week.ĩ. The Sox were a team-best 16-10 (.615) on Sundays. They all played together, but Ron Santo was a longtime Cubs captain.Ĩ. He was the director of promotions for the White Sox in 1979 and was responsible for the demolition.ħ. ![]() Every Veeck in baseball made baseball more fun, including Mike Veeck. Eddie Mathews is the star of this question with 512 homers.Ħ. Edwin Encarnacion finished with 424 homers. In 1964, Rusty was 20 years old and in his second season with the Houston Colt. Daniel Joseph ‘‘Rusty’’ Staub was born on April 1, 1944, in New Orleans. OK I will admit this is a random question and answer, but if you were lucky enough to dine in one of Rusty Staub’s great restaurants, you would have to know he came from a N’awlins background. Not because the answer is that none of these Chicago players made the teams, but because the players were so great back then that even these four were not All-Stars.Ĥ. While Bill Mazeroski was one of the great defensive second basemen in baseball history, he wouldn’t have achieved the fame necessary to be inducted into the Hall of Fame without his momentous homer in the ninth inning of Game 7 in 1960.ģ. Jamie Burke was with the Sox for parts of 2003-05.Ģ. Jaime Navarro pitched for the Cubs in 19 and for the Sox in 1997-1999. Jamie Quirk had three at-bats for the 1984 White Sox. Jamie Moyer pitched for the Cubs from 1986 to 1989. I hope you had fun, and I wish you a nice summer. This is my weekly walk-off question: Who hit walk-off homers against Martinez? (All the choices were All-Stars.) Pedro Martinez struck out five of the six batters he faced, earning him MVP honors. The game honored nominees for the All-Century Team and saluted the great Ted Williams. The game was held in Boston, where Smash Mouth played its hit from that summer. A summer hit was performed at the 1999 All-Star Game. Last season (2022), which Chicago team had its best day of the week on Sunday? I’m looking for the best winning percentage.ĩ. Richie wrote about it being ‘‘easy like Sunday morning.’’ The sappiness of this ditty made me queasy, like many mornings. The summer of 1997 was the year of this soft-rock hit, which was written by lead singer Lionel Richie. ‘‘Easy’’ by the Commodores was another summer hit I didn’t like. Which one of the following was a Cubs captain?Ĩ. It became the signature song for Daryl Dragon (The Captain) and Toni Tennille and relaunched Sedaka’s career. I never was a fan of the song ‘‘Love Will Keep Us Together’’ by The Captain & Tennille, a 1975 summer hit written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield. All I need is one word to prompt a question: Who was the person held most responsible for ‘‘Disco Demolition Night,’’ held July 12, 1979, at Comiskey Park?ħ. She had great songs, such as ‘‘She Works Hard for the Money,’’ ‘‘Bad Girls,’’ ‘‘On the Radio’’ and ‘‘MacArthur Park.’’ She was dubbed ‘‘The Queen of Disco,’’ but she was much more than that. You know who was really good? Donna Summer (she’s part of the theme).
