Re: Food For Thought

Last night we enjoyed dinner from a favorite take out place we've loved for over 40 years, Benny's Food Wagon . We had their famous beef & bean burritos w/ cheese, refried beans & rice. It hasn't changed in flavor in all those years. They actually comprehend the concept of "...

Re: Food For Thought

Barbecue take out tonight from the best BBQ place in Orange County. Fred Burrell is the master. How was your dinner, Clint? Good "bark" on his spare ribs? I trust that he cooks with hard woods. Just noticed on his website that his joint is called the Bar-B-Que Pit , the same name as a lon...

MLB 2014

Unless I missed it, I just realized that there was no baseball thread started this spring. So, better late than never. Things are getting quite interesting in both leagues, but there was an announcement made two nights ago which really made me smile. Vin Scully is returning to announce Dodgers baseb...

Re: Idris Muhammad RIP

Oh, man, what a drag. Idris had a slightly different approach to drumming which I always dug in various groups. There was always a signature sound, an earthiness and solid groove, a relentless drive. http://www.regenexx.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/centeno-stem-cell-news.png Idris Muhammad, legen...

Re: Charlie Haden RIP

Thanks for that, rlfun. That was fun! Keith covering Joni. I guess that's Keith on flute, too.
