What a drag! Here is a poignant photo from my friend Danny Gottlieb's Facebook page today, and his comment. A video from 1989 which includes Danny follows. Walked into a bookstore in upstate NY and found this. We miss and love you Lew! - Danny Gottlieb https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hph...

Finally, some photos! The "tour" began in Anchorage, and the 1st few shots were taken very soon after getting airborne. You'll see islands and an active volcano which are about 150 miles south of Anchorage, then a few obligatory in-flight photos of our 1st class service on Alaska Airl...

Coda, Echo seems like a really cool tool, but based upon what I've seen, certainly wouldn't want to do any serious music listening with this device. If you can listen via Bluetooth headphones, that's another matter, however. Other applications are almost unlimited. I think their price p...

My days of "hiking" are over, but it almost sounds as if you might be happiest with a hiking shoe rather than a bulkier, heavier boot. When we hiked regularly as a family, my wife & I both used Raichle and were very pleased with them. They were a bit clunky, though. If I were in your ...

Glad to see you posting again, HenryMc! I'm not familiar with dance & trance either, but don't know if it's necessary for someone to "cut their teeth" on something which meshes with something with which they're already familiar. I feel that with jazz, for instance, if ...
