When I was collecting vinyl records, I bought at least 50 Fania Records starting from the mid 70s until the label began to peter out after its sale in 1979. Fania was the place to go

Judging by my friends’ status updates on Facebook , people are really excited about Shark Week (and everyone is still enamored with Tracy Jordan’s counsel on “30 Rock” to live every week like it’s Shark Week).

Watson was 14 and an orphan, so we’re starting with a bit of Dickensian flavor. During his time working as a crew member on a ship, he took a swim in the harbor
