Bright Moments

these are great! :bwallace2:

i love cecil. Sadly, it seems that he hasn't had a new book out in a long time.

A friend of mine had taken some lessons from Bergonzi some years back and was the one who introduced me to Bergonzi's music. That version of Caravan from Brubeck's Down Home recording is pretty bad-assed. INDEED!!!

ok maybe i am kidding - but this dude has the same name! hoffmann pretty odd!

i am afraid not! hoffmann hitler's friend

it was known here as "shock-headed peter" little did we know that the author was hitler's buddy!

this book scared the bejeeesus out of me when i was a kid - particularly the one where the girl who sucks her thumbs gets 'em cut off and the boy who wont eat his soup starves to death!

even if you think that allen is a complete wacko you should own this. i have all four boxes and can honestly say that they are terrific. it was obviously a labor of love. don't let allen's caustic and abrasive personality put you off getting these sets. (this unsolicited testimonial has not been endorsed by allen lowe)

i will! thanks!!

dang first the storyvilles and then the hodges mosaic - happy valentine's day!

i am enjoying this one atm: Radu Lupu - Impromptus - Decca Legends (jim please move this to the classical forum!)

braggart!

Well, one has to close one's eyes, that's a given. Even so, there isn't much there to be admired. Those Grammys were wasted, but what else is new? I took a picture of 2 such wasted trophies this morning. What is it about Winehouse that you like? What does she have that makes her stand out? Is she good by today's standards or by any standard? Whom would you compare her to? A perplexed, inquiring mind wants to know. Now, this is a wine house I can get with... i like the sound of her voice - and i like her phrasing. she reminds me on anita o'day although she sounds nothing like her - its the phrasing.
