When I was a teenager, I was head-over-heels in love with Natalie Wood, especially after seeing her on the big screen in West Side Story in 1962. In this incarnation of West Side Story, however, not only does the young lady playing Maria (MaryJoanna Grisso) look stunning, she sings like an angel. He...

Patti & I were totally blown away by the stellar performances we witnessed Sunday at the matinee offering of West Side Story at our performing arts center. There are many glowing adjectives I could use to describe this national touring company's level of professionalism, but one word sums it up ...

Meanwhile, it's unseasonably warm in Anchorage ... into the low 40s during the day. Thawing and re-freezing is both annoying and dangerous!

Wow, what a wonderful, eclectic list, Fred.

Well, you got me there!

I have no idea what you're talking about, walto.

Did you notice the phone number on caller i.d.? Was there funny music in the background?

Here's one which may have ended up with some additional laundry or dry cleaning required. ;) http://media.adn.com/smedia/2014/01/07/17/39/l90wU.AuSt.7.JPG ERIK HILL — Anchorage Daily News Three occupants of a Land and Sea Aviation Cessna 172RG Cutlass were uninjured following an emergency landing Tu...

Yeow! What a "system", bluenoter.

No problem, Scott.

Scott Dolan wrote:Nobody has posted in the ECM forum since November 20th. Which makes 7/4's statement pretty accurate. I didn't take his post as an indictment against Steve Lake in any way, shape, or form.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting that, Scott.

Yes.

the ECM thing completely died weeks ago, but I try to check in. I'm not sure what you mean by that comment. Would you explain, please? If you mean that Steve Lake has not posted in a while, that's understandable. He relies on us to inquire of him and the label as to what we're interested in or havi...

The 1st season of Orange Is The New Black on Netflix, our first viewing of their "new" programming of this nature. We're enjoying it thus far, with dips here and there. Their production values are certainly not in question. Wazzup Ron! I guess this means you haven't seen the Netflix versi...

Unless I missed something, I believe this is a new thread.


So, Happy Birthday, Patricia!

I wholeheartedly agree, John. My son, Justin (jtx), and I will be discussing the continuation of Jazz Talk tomorrow. It's our hope to keep it going, despite the recent relative inactivity. We feel that forums still have a place on the internet, even with the increased popularity of "social medi...

Scott, I was using the Statistics info from the bottom of the site's front page for the numbers I mentioned.

As I said, I don't mean to be argumentative, but thought your numbers seemed awfully low.

C'est la vie

Here are two photos taken by Patti, my wife, on our recent trip to Hawaii. She took these on her morning walks on Kauai, and I really love them. She has a very good eye for composition, in my estimation. http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2875/11859695113_17052843b2_c.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3...

Well, we gave it a shot, folks. Looks like the final fire fight here recently was the back breaker I predicted it to be. We get about 20-30 posts a week. There have been 5 since Sunday. Thanks for trying this little experiment with me, but it seems there was simply too much baggage for folks here t...
