The Kane County Cougars were established in 1991 as a Class A minor league baseball team in Chicago's far western suburbs. They've changes affiliations several times over the years--this cap is from their brief association with the Cubs in 2013 and 2014--and are currently a satellite of the Arizona Diamondbacks. I always wanted to go to a Cougars game. Sadly, this hat is as close as I've come thus far.
Most years, I would decry the sale of Halloween cards at such an early date. But you know what? This year? We need all the feel-goods we can get. So bring on Halloween...NOW.
You might have noticed by now that I'm a huge fan of Roy Orbison--he of the operatic voice on "Crying," "In Dreams," "Pretty Woman" and a whole bunch more.
This three-CD set claims to be "The Ultimate Collection," and I can't argue with that assessment--it features every one of Roy's major his, along with many of his minor hits and B-sides.
Much as I love the songs mentioned above, I truly dig deeper cuts like "Goodnight," "The Crowd" and "Shadaroba" ("Fate knows what's best for you...")
Between this set and "The Essential Roy Orbison," which I bought at Rolling Stones Records pre-Pandemic, my Orbison obsession is just about sated.
