The 'Swinging' Bach story is on page 1. Don't mess with J.S.B. Especially in New Jersey.

Speaking of "the jungled dischords of the clarinet," how abot B.G. in the Empire Room of the Waldorf-Astoria. I don't care if there is a couvert on top of the $1.75 for dinner. I'm there!

For the Samual Barber 'Adagio for Strings' article, I really wanted to be able to provide a link to a listenable copy of that piece. I got it saved to a file and ready to upload, but after a couple hours of effort I was unable to find a site where I could store it and link to FR. My best bet was fileden.com (another tip from CougarGA7) but I couldn't connect with my activating email to get started. If anyone knows how I can pull this off I would appreciate the help. Maybe I can still get it up in time for the Nov. 5 premier. Otherwise, I urge everyone unfamiliar with it to find a copy of 'Adagio for Strings,' by Samuel Barber and give it a listen. It is an amazing and important 20th century work. It has also been used as the score for several movies, most notably 'Platoon.' My version is by the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, Leonard Slatkin, 1989.

They’re about to release a remake of the movie “The Day the Earth Stood Still.” That should be be against the law, IMO...

Dinner STARTS at $1.75 depending on entree. “3 beans on toast”? Or Leg of Lamb? You want something “nice” you should expect to pay a bit more.

And the public of 1938 would be surprised at what the FCC permits today.

They jazz the media several times every hour now.

And there were white label dirty records back then, but they were sold under the counter, never under the recording artist’s name, and never played on radio or dicussed in the street level culture.

Play the piece in windows media player and save as a video file.

Youtube is your best bet for a place to up load it.
