An mp3 burned dvd-rom with all the Number 1 Billboard hits from 1940 - 1970 for Pop, C&W and R&B categories. In reality the Pop category goes back to 1930; in 1930 Billboard didn't have a C&W chart. (It was WWII that made C&W blow up nationally, earning itself a Billboard chart of its own.) This was a gift from another music writer friend, who is currently working on a book about the Beatles, which will be, I promise, disturbing to Beatles-lovers, among whom this Casa is not. Now you know that big dark heresy in our hearts.
Plus, American Mediterranean: Southern Slaveholders in the Age of Emancipation, by Matthew Pratt Gurerl. (2008) Harvard Univ. Press. This arrival, thanks to la Amiga who hosts Gotham City Soul.
Plus -- two more discs for The Wire, Season 5, from netflix.
Sometimes its worth the trouble of opening the mail box.
No chex though, which remains far and away the best thing to find in the mailbox.
