yes,that seems quite a trip!
i wish you to spend many years more in that nice corner of the world.
and by the way,what was the soundtrack of this trip?
i hope the car had a radio and a bit of oscar peterson or the young brat, back then, miles davis, would be ideal for me.

southside bistro looks like great joint,unfortunately a bit far for me...
what kind of music do they play there?
i would like some otis redding for example while enjoying their vegatarian dishes!

happy birthday rita!
i guess the music for the celebration for you will be by the great departed b.b. king and his unforgettable melodies.
enjoy and from few thousand miles far, i raise a glass of wine for ya!

in my opinion one of the best musicians and lyricists of the last decades,and some extracts i heard of their new album are very good. they had some troubled years,some members changed but yet the brand name is strong and they do great concerts still,as a friend who watched them about a year ago has ...

once again for the films that stonemonkts gives and i have seen,too, i have almost the same opinion and comments! and bravo for an american who watches iranian films,sometimes they seem slow,but they hide much power inside and lead us,as western viewers, back to a forgotten world and values estimati...

jimmy,you make life such nicer with those pizza photos!
not just yum,as bluenoter commented,but ay,caramba,too!
good that you also give some meatless options for us, the vegetarians.
maybe one of the attractions of the big apple is the pizza places,it seems!

if i'm remembering well and my memory doesn't cheat me with mr. alzheimmer,today it's rita's birthday.
i hope she confirms it soon and if it's correct i wish her all the best and a lot of nice music to her ears.

i enjoy postwar-a history of europe since 1945 written by the unfortunately gone early british historian tony judt.
his analysis is deep and at a big amount fair to all the participants in that huge,confused and often bitter salad which the european countries form.

louis sclavis trio,as a prelude to his concert i'm gonna attend next saturday.

formatta valea mare-departe de casa,good romanian folk

and a bit of roland rahsaan kirk,for the necessary energy to continue the day!

a greek tv channel showed for 3 days in the row the mini series hatfields and mccoys with costner and berenger among others.it was really good and i haven't heard about it before,so it was a nice surprise.i enjoyed the cinematography and also the right measure of unfolding the story,not very fast bu...

i hope there will be a way that this place continues exist. rita,an old and precious companion for me from another board,while i was first dealing with internet, is an ideal moderator. and maybe we should all try to post more,even when time is something slipping away from our hands incredibly fast,w...

a bit of stelios kazantzidis-the best greek singer since homer's time
and a bit of rahsaan roland kirk!

akin is a very good case of european cinema,combining brilliantly turkish and german elements in his works. "soul kitchen" was pretty good and funny and the music documentary "crossing the bridge:the sounds of istanbul" is a must see. Turkish-German Faith Akin's "Head-On&quo...

steve already mentioned barney miller which was one of my favorites-i also liked a lot the theme from hill street blues.bonanza is obviously a good choice and it also came to my mind one from the british comedy of the early 80s i think-only fools and horses.

ohhh,and blackadder of course!

i started <a long long way> by sebastian barry,about the ww1 and the simultaneous fight for freedom in their land for irish soldiers and civilians.
i'm still in page 40 but it's almost certain it will satisfy me,i like the writer's style a lot.

http://img1.imagesbn.com/p/9780307947512_p0_v1_s260x420.JPG A novel about being at the end of your rope at the end of the American Age. Very well done, but almost unbearably sad. is it a new one from eggers? i liked some of his previous stuff. i read right now one of the greatest american writers,a...

in cerca di cibo-Gianluigi Trovesi& Gianni Coscia
tuba tunes collection(gift from the greek jazz&jazz magazine) by y.zouganelis

well,it seems great-a lot of people that i would like to know more things about.

i'm vegetarian for the last 6 years,no problem with health so far,not a faintest memory in my mind from the carnivore period ,but i haven't stop enjoying beer-it certainly fits perfect with some meat-containing food,but it's also great by itself or with chili chips,nuts etc.

hi everybody,
i'm timoleon from greece,preferring jazz instead of syrtaki dance and i feel great that this board is on to substitute the jazzcorner speakeasy- and it's nice to see here posting persons who were away for various reasons from the former one!
