He believes that all of life's problems, big and small can be solved with several well placed sticks of dynamite. "Your wife left you? Blow up the stove. Otherwise you'll start cooking for yourself and that's dangerous." Edgar is hard of hearing, short several fingers, and not really big on safety, but he remains confident that with enough explosives you can overcome anything life throws at you. --Edgar Montrose

Gerry Goffin and Carole King:
“Will You Love Me Tomorrow”
“The Loco-Motion”
“One Fine Day”
“Pleasant Valley Sunday”
“(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman”

I would definitely see A Midsummer's Night Dream, just because that one never gets old. Good luck choosing among all of those other ones. What a fun dilemma and have fun! :)

When I'm home, a good friend and I always get season tickets to Theater Under the Stars. They've done some really good stuff and have sent the occasional show to Broadway.

Burt Bacarach and Hal David.

Elton John and Bernie Taupin.

[Migraine]

Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons (Doobie Brothers) a la “Listen to the Music”, happiest song ever written.

Brian Wilson and Mike Love, cousins — the former a bona fide musical genius and the impetus behind such intricate tunes as “The Warmth of the Sun” and “Don’t Worry, Baby”
