A picture of Ilon Ba playing with the Playing for Change band that I took on October 19th when they were in Birmingham. It was amazing! I submitted this photo into a contest. Maybe it’ll win something!
One more month left to check out the PFC band live! If you’re anywhere around one of these events, you should definitely make it out.
I’m also working on having a Playing for Change fundraiser event here on Berry’s Campus next spring! More updates on that in time!
I’m going to see the PFC band October 19th in Birmingham. If you’re close to one of these performances, you should definitely check them out to support the cause and/or just to hear great, inspiring music!

Seeing as you are my happiness, I guess I’ll have to fight for you, huh? ;)

Sports Illustrated’s Thomas Lake:
Here are a few of the ways in which Bobby Cox gives everything he can give as a manager. He treats everyone like a man, from bat boys to 20-year veterans. He keeps track of retired players and occasionally writes them checks if they need money. When a player is released, Cox calls other teams, trying to find him another job. When the game starts, he stands on the top step of the dugout, calling out encouragement. He calls his players by affectionate nicknames. Over the years he has cheered for Knucksie, Campy, Boggsy, Pokey, Hubby, Rock, Horns, Murph, Lemmer, Smoltzie, Teepee, Mad Dog, Glav, Chip, Fookie, Mac, Roscoe, Esco, Schafe and Wick. His voice carries across the infield and into the other dugout, where opposing players hear him and wish they could play for a man like that.
Also:
HAS COX mellowed with age? These figures may help you decide.

Terrific article. Not that there’s any doubt about Bobby getting into the Hall, but he deserves nothing less than to be sent off with another World Series for the résumé.
you’ll rarely see me reblog or even discuss anything sports-related, unless the braves are involved.
this was beautiful.

For those who are interested, this is how the new horn sounds.
Pros: Good intonation, Free-blowing, nice dark tone.
Cons: Not so great key placement, terrible thumb rest location, 1 working neck.
I played Donna Lee because it’s like the hardest head on earth so I would almost instantly be able to notice the horns strengths and weaknesses.
Verdict? It’s no Mark VI, or even a Yamaha Custom, but for $400 it was definitely worth it. It definitely beats my frankenstein Yanigasawa.
I know. Lame musician stuff. Sorry.
