Ron S Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 (edited) As I recall, Doug Stravinsky, Ricky Rachmaninoff, Pete Prokofiev (yeah, it's named after him), and Stan "Shemp" Shostakovich had an oldies band for a while, trying to trade on the fame of their better-known brothers (sort of a Dino, Desi, and Billy kinda thing). But they broke up soon after being booked on a concert tour of the Gulag Archipelago. Edited February 25, 2006 by Ron S Quote
JSngry Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Don't they make diamonds out of fifty year old shit? That, or oldies radio prgramming. Didn't Doug Stravinsky go on to become the overnight guy on an oldies station in Bakersfield? Yeah, after he got fired in Memphis for drinking more than Dewey Phillips. Quote

Don't let the public image fool you - that Solzhenitsyn's one tough SOB when it comes to business. Quote

He's Music Director of the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia. Click here since you probably won't take my word for it. Quote
JSngry Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Oh yeah, Ignat. He's one Krazy Kat. Quote

md655321 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 1. No way anyone tops 'Shemp' Shostokovich 2. As they say, 'the bottle was dusty but the liqour was clean' Quote
Guest akanalog Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 look what i started! yeah the whisky was fine. well i mean i am burping a lot of crap up this morning but i think it was the cheap mexican food and the presidentes i consumed post-whisky. Quote
Ron S Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 look what i started! It wasn't you--it was the 40-year-old booze and those crazy Russian guys. Wait a sec--are you sure it wasn't really a bottle of Stoli? Quote
WD45 Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 FWIW, whiskey, once bottled, does not age like wine. Now, carry on! Quote
JSngry Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 FWIW, whiskey, once bottled, does not age like wine. True, but the world around it does, so it's really like drinking from The Fountain of Youth. Quote

True, but the world around it does, so it's really like drinking from The Fountain of Youth. How very true, good sir. The derivation of the word whisky is "water of life." As is the Scandinavian akvavit/aquavit, the French Eau de vie, Latin aqua vitae, etc. Quote
