But at least nowadays when you get a CD that says “Tommy Dorsey,” you’re going to get Tommy Dorsey’s orchestra. Most of the collectors now are going to CD. I wish there were more people that I could give my extras to, but there aren’t too many. ![]() I’ve been collecting for about 26 years now. We play music of the 1930s and ‘40s and some Sinatra stuff, so the records dovetail right in. “All of the early record companies made more money on the cabinets than records.” It just didn’t have the energy the original big bands had, and that’s really what I was looking for. You didn’t actually get music from the Tommy Dorsey big band you got music that Tommy Dorsey made famous done by a bunch of studio musicians who were getting what sounds like minimum wage. Half the time it was like a tribute to Tommy Dorsey. I generally avoided LPs for a long time because of their inferior quality. I was like a kid in a candy store, trying new flavors. I could get all kinds of different bands from different eras that I had never heard before. Also, I found that with 78 rpm records, I was guaranteed to get the bands I wanted to get. When you did find old material, it was just butchered. When I first started collecting in the ‘70s and ‘80s, a lot of what was out on LP and marketed to the general public was later stuff. ![]() I really didn’t know that this music was out on LP. It was pop music, and it was popular for a good reason. I finally settled on big band swing and jazz, which I like because it’s very listenable. I went to garage sales and got all the 78s that I could. ![]() I just thought to myself, “I wonder what is really recorded at 78, and what kind of records actually play at 78.” That way, I couldn’t understand the vocals anymore, and it made the tune very upbeat and really fast. I liked vocals when I was young, and I used to play my mother’s records at 78 rpm because they were mostly 45. I keep them in a room in the basement that has to be humidity controlled with very little humidity at all because mold will grow on the records. I have about 20,000 records in my collection at my house and another 7,000 at another house.

Tony gwynn season swing and miss11/21/2023 But he made himself into a terrific all-around performer. When he came out of college into the Padres organization, he was known as a basketball player who could hit a baseball and not do much else. “Winning that first Gold Glove still is one of the highlights.”įor him, it was like a great actor writing a book and winning a Pulitzer. It’s more difficult to see it in myself.”Īnd what always comes back to him? What’s always the first thing he mentions? “To me, it’s easy to see greatness in other players. “I may be the only guy retiring who has just about every hit on video,” he cackled when asked about his greatest thrill. ![]() The Great American Work Ethic has no greater graduate. I believe he purposely tried to be a better Tony Gwynn, and his place in history became the natural residue. I don’t know if he purposely searched for greatness, although ego must be by your side for you to be the best at what you do. There always was that push to get better. ![]() I can count on one hand the number of times he said he was really pleased with his game. I’ve known him since the day he walked onto State’s campus as a 17-year-old freshman basketball player. Tony Gwynn spent thousands of hours studying Tony Gwynn, and his best rarely was good enough for him. This may be the greatest student of the sport, the first athlete to see the advantage of videotape. Gwynn will approach coaching baseball the same way he approached playing it, by getting his nails dirty. The loyal inventor of the San Diego Discount wants to be the next head baseball coach at San Diego State, and, if things work out and he really wants it, his alma mater must give him the job. “In a way, I’m stepping out of a school uniform and into a suit.” ![]() “A lot of it is, unfortunately,” Gwynn was saying after announcing that, after 20 years, this would be his final season as a Padre, that he was retiring as a major league baseball player, retiring from the kid’s game grown men play, retiring from doing something he did better than most of those who have walked, swum and crawled around this planet.

Easyfindmac11/21/2023 ![]() You're up against corporate behemoths fighting in their huge sandbox. Switch to a different file sharing protocol. They've been incredibly disruptive, unstable, surface-level and again, mostly centered around marketing. Which is kinda true if you know the deep history of Apple's major backend changes over the past 10 years, or the history of technologies like SMB and how Apple begrudgingly adopts it without adapting their proprietary technologies to it. Therefore, according to them, you're ridiculous for even expecting it. They've never advertised it to you as working on a network drive. It works for grandpa and grandma on their local hard drives. You're dealing with wherever the wind takes Apple. If you're gonna be a sysadmin for a Mac environment you need a reality check. Oh, wait.įirst of all, you pay the same pricetag as anyone else. Just leave something on Apples issue tracker, I'm sure they'll get right back to you. ![]() This seems terribly broken to me, though. My current plan is to build an automator functionality to search. I am assuming that the native share off Catalina is already optimized for mac/mac communications. I have tried the vfs_fruit extensions on the NAS, no effect. We're willing to purchase a mac server, anything, to try and fix this. Is there a way to have a central repository of files, shared to multiple mac users, and have the finder search return quickly with a scan of the directory names, like ls | grep does in the terminal? I can see the problem on a share hosted from a Catalina client, as well as shares on our NAS. If the same search is done in the terminal with ls | grep it's basically instant.Ĭan anyone help suggest a solution to this problem? My users want to use Finder as their workflow, not a third party alternative. Searching in Finder is VERY slow, several minutes to check a few thousand files. The problem I have is with searching them on a OSX client. The latest OSX release appears to have fixed the slow browsing problem on SMB shares.
