Without question, the greatest jazz quartet God ever put on this earth. Everyone, a genius.

Man, what a crush I have had on Connie for ages!

@MrKeffer: Understand, this was 1988, when the Irish won their 10th National Championship and had an undefeated season. ND had not played Miami since 1985, when they trounced ND in coach Gerry Faust's last game 56-7 in the Orange Bowl. Lou Holtz took over in '86 and vowed to get revenge. ND d...

USC'S A JOKE. "THE BAND OF THE FIGHTING IRISH" IS THE BEST, PERIOD. I'M NOT AN ALUM. JUST A FAN FROM DETROIT WHO SAW MY FIRST ND GAME IN 1957. NOTHING, ON ANY GIVEN GAME DAY, RIVALS ND AND THE BAND STEPPING OFF TO THE STADIUM.

Absolutely sensational, Joe! RIP. Dave Brubeck, Gene Wright, Paul Desmond and Joe Morello. In my opinion, the best jazz quartet in history. Period.

I've been a ND fan since my birth in 1946. I loved this '66 team. Hanratty, Bleier, Conjar, and God bless Jim Seymour. I miss my Irish.

Idiot.

All my life I have wanted a '63-'64 409 w/ dual quads. You had to work on them, but when you saw one that was done right, they were wonderful. Anyone from the Detroit Dragway and Motor City Dragway era remember a 1964 silver Impala AA/Stock 409/425hp named "Quick Silver"? That baby ran strong....

Yep, a poor hole shot cost at least .4 tenths. Car sounds strong though.

I had an opportunity, or rather the privilege, of seeing my drumming hero Gene Krupa twice, and the chance to speak with him for about 10 minutes, at Detroit's famous Baker's Keyboard Lounge around 1963-64. I was about 17 years old. Sweet man. Visited with my Mom and me. Put on a great perfor...

Just a beautiful '64 SS. At age 18, my family had a new 1964 Impala with the 327/300 combo (Powerglide, unfortunately) that was a great car. Ran strong. My dream, as a tennager, was to have a 1964 327/300 Impala 4 speed for everyday, and a 409/425 hp Biscayne sedan for the dragstrip...fully ra...

@gregorylee1234 Yeah, that wasn't needed at all. All the cop had to do was just move the kid aside. Kid was just excited, that's all.

In my opinion, simply the best. As a young teenager I saw my "idol" Gene Krupa in Detroit, had a chance to visit with him, and he was incredible. But as I grew older, I discovered the real art of drumming in Joe Morello. A "musical technician" extraodinaire. God bless you, Joe.

Sweet ride. I was raised on the great 50's and '60's cars on Woodward Avenue (Detroit area). Buddy of mine had the '64 Wildcat, 2x4, 4-speed, headers, and it ran pretty darned strong. I have always loved the so-called "odd ball" high-performers like the Buick Wildcat.

Sounds fantastic. Buddy of mine had a '65 and '66 2+2, one stick one Turbo-Hydromatic. Both really pulled nicely on the top end.

what a doll

Stock cars I loved; 1963 Chevy 427 "Mystery Engine" and the 1964 Mercury 427. Purely bad lookin'.

@freshdougg. I remember the same article. That was a half-baked time. No way it ran that. A buddy of mine had a '65 421 (one 4-bbl) and you were probably looking at a high 15 second 1/4 mile. (stock form)

I'VE BEEN A MOE NORMAN "BELIEVER" FOR SOME YEARS NOW. ABSOLUTELY CONSISTENT. MOE'S PHILOSOPHY MAKES NOTHING BUT PURE SENSE.
