I strongly urge Boneyarders to subscribe to his Youtube channel. He does excellent UConn videos, many with new information. He also does some videos on WCBB in general. His videos are a starting point for meaningful discussions.

Just recently heard this (mostly) acapella version of Black Velvet. Really liked it. Never realized the song was a tribute to Elvis. ( turn captions on )

Yeah, that was me, on a thread entitled "Young people sing old songs." Maybe we can do that again this summer. There are so many excellent young performers on Youtube. I am envious.

Traditional song, released by Kingston Trio in 1959. Made famous by the Beach Boys.

So, I believe Diana Taurasi played on Olympic Team the year she graduated, 2004. There must be others. My question is, who gets the 12th roster spot, a 40 year old Taurasi, or a 22 year old Clark?

Are you allowed to cover your own song? Here's Johnny Western updated version of a classic fifties TV Theme Song.

Excellent cover of iconic fifties song

Then I'm gonna do this:

Kai Winding was the first to record the Jerry Ragavoy-penned "Time Is on My Side" in 1963. A year later, it was covered by Irma Thomas, the "Soul Queen of New Orleans" as the B-side of "Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand)." Shortly afterward, the Rolling Stones cut it, borrowing many...

Similar Title, different song, fully orchestrated. Will knock your socks off!

Personally, I feel Huey Lewis covers are among the best. Love this acappella version of the Impressions 1963 hit.

Here's another original you may not have been aware of. "Aretha Franklin's sister Erma recorded "Piece of My Heart" for co-writer Bert Berns' Shout label in 1967. It was a Top 10 hit on the R&B chart but didn't get past No. 62 on the Hot 100. A year later, Big Brother and the Holding Company...

I may be weird, but I like this better than the original. Talk about an ear worm.

Speaking of Robbie Williams, he released a live recording back in 2001, singing Standards backed by a big band, at the Royal Albert Hall. Every song was great, here's just one example

How could you not love her?

There are many times people are unaware of the original version of a song. I have personally been surprised many times. Did you know this was originally a Motown song?

Where's Cliff Robinson? Haven't seen him since he was voted off Survivor Island. Did Cliff have the longest NBA career? The best?

I believe the numbers are: one grad student, 1 red shirt Soph, 3 true Sophs, 3 new freshmen, and 5 players of questionable health. How does that compare with South Carolina, USC, Notre Dame, just to mention a few?

This song is dedicated to our newest Husky. This song is about the end of a relationship, but it’s really applicable to life in general. The things in life that are hard to go through actually forge us in fire. They help us to become stronger moving forward. (Note the Basket makes a cameo...

This song is great to listen to after going through difficult times. It reminds you that even after the darkest times, the sun is coming to bathe everything in a new light.

Love, love, love the music threads. Always consider them a challenge. This motivational pop song reminds us that it’s never too late to shine. Even if you’re feeling worn down by life, there is brilliance inside of you just waiting to burst forth.

I really, really like this guy's UConn recap videos. If you agree, I highly recommend subscribing to his Youtube account. I started a new thread because I didn't want this video "lost" in the shuffle. Doesn't dwell on the "ill-timed" call. Some comments about UConn's future. Well worth the watch.

The Ref gets reprimanded for making a bad call with 3 seconds to go in the game. That Ref will have to live with that call for the rest of his/her life.

In Division I, there were 32 players who shot 40% or better, all played in at least 30 games.

Georgia Amoore?

Personally, I'm happy to see Geno poised to pass Tara in all time wins. I don't see Stanford running roughshod over the ACC next year, especially after traveling across the country for half their games. The wear and tear may well take a toll on Tara. Either way, I hope Geno passes Tara next...

I saw that the 3 point line in Portland was incorrect. But does anyone know the specifics? Was it too long, too short, lop-sided? Will they (can they ) fix it by Monday night's game? As an aside, you had one job to do, put down a Women's Court, and you can't do that right? Whatever happened to...

For clarification ( us old folks ) DVR = Digital Video Recording VCR = Video cassette recording If you have a VCR that still works, that amazing. ETA: And don't get me started on BETA vs. VHS ;)

I was thinking the same thing. Doesn't Azzi have two years left? There is a chance they want to play two years together. Granted, it's an outside chance, but one can dream.

Question: What do Saniya Rivers (33 pts), Kiki Rice (24 pts), Rori Harmon (27 pts), Hannah Hidalgo (34 pts) and Te-Hina Paopao ( 21 pts ) have in common?
