Well, it’s that special Sunday again

Call me lucky, ancient, sports-minded, or whatever, but I have watched every Super Bowl.  I remember when people thought that having an NFL team play an AFL team was a joke or a gimmick.  I lived in Wisconsin back then, and talking AFL got you a funny look.

We remember Sergio Mendes (1941-2024)

We remember to Sergio Mendes, a very talented Brazilian band leader, who was born in Rio de Janeiro on this day in 1941.   He died in 2024.

Mendes recorded my favorite cover of a Beatles' song.   His version of "Fool on the hill" is great.  It is creative and sounds great because it is Sergio Mendes rather than someone trying to imitate The Beatles.

Here is the Mendes' unique arrangement!

Happy # 75 to Ben Oglivie

Benjamin Ambrosio Oglivie was born in Panama on this day in 1949.   

Ben grew up in New York City and attended Roosevelt High School and later Wayne State College in Detroit.

Oglivie broke with the Red Sox in 1971 and traded to Detroit in 1974.    His career really blossomed when he was sent to Milwaukee in 1978.  As a Brewer, Oglivie hit .277 with 176 HR & 685 RBI in 9 seasons.    He led the AL in HR in 1980:  .304, 41 HR & 118 HR.

Happy Birthday Ben Oglivie!
