Hi Bruce.

Jane · « **Reply #61 on:** July 26, 2004, 01:40:38 PM »

Bruce, just for you I chose a dog, instead of a cat, for my page three dance.

Jane · « **Reply #62 on:** July 26, 2004, 01:41:29 PM »

So much for Bruce, off he goes without talking to me.

Love dogs, don't love Cats, either animal or musical.

Welcome five GUESTS. We're talkin' about easy listening. If you don't like that subject you can talk about hard listening.

Jane · « **Reply #64 on:** July 26, 2004, 01:43:18 PM »

You are back. Yea, I know you don't love cats, but then you have never met Bogie, the great converter of non cat people.

Jane · « **Reply #65 on:** July 26, 2004, 01:44:44 PM »

I should be talking about easy listening. I should be listening to easy listening but I'm not doing either.

Welcome seven GUESTS. We're talkin' about lounge, baby. We are the loungiest site on all the Internet.

Jane, I'll have to meet Bogie one of these fine days.

My View: It is not Charlotte but Doug (the reporter/writer) who is the real protagonist - and it is in the closing dialog between him and John that the play reaches it's emotional crescendo. As is quoted in the intro to the written script:der Brucer

We'll have to agree to disagree about that.

Yes indeed Mr Lester Lanin was on the Epic Yellow Label. And I am not surprised that DR derBRUCER danced to his orchestra...the liner notes on the albums I have all point out how popular he is at college, deb, and wedding functions....in fact his schedule barely permits him to make records!

I also like Roger Williams and Hugo Winterhalter!

Spent a lovely tear-filled afternoon with the Dashwood family in SENSE AND SENSIBILITY. Such a wonderful movie. So glad I watch it uninterrupted in the future (the laserdisc was three sides which required disc switching).

While I'm not familiar with The Plum Tree, the mention of PK Chang's and Cold Stone Creamery brings on a rant.

Don't you just hate it when some mom-and-pop operation, that's been doing fine for years, suddenly faces competition from a big national or multi-national chain and is put out of business? It's the individual entrepreneurs that make a city great, not the ubiquitous chain stores. I try to avoid the latter as much as possible. Today, in fact, I shook the hand of a new bookseller in the neighborhood.

He's across the street from Columbia's Barnes & Noble (am I right that Barnes & Noble started out as NYU's bookstore?) and the book suppliers sell to Barnes & Noble at a much lower price than they do to independants like him. Of course, that's because Barnes & Noble racks up a high-volume amount of, er, volumes, but often it seems the system is rigged against the little guy.

Here's a picture of Peace-Corps-Craig and mom. Don't we look happy?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #73 on:** July 26, 2004, 01:58:51 PM »

What a great picture, derBrucer.

Did you get one of Lester's beanies?

Here is a site with a great Lester Lanin interview! Who would have thought such a thing would be on the internet?

Question: Why do the apes have their own palace in Bratislava?

bk · « **Reply #76 on:** July 26, 2004, 02:13:28 PM »

Never have been in Oregon I don't think. Been in Seattle and Vancouver.

bk · « **Reply #77 on:** July 26, 2004, 02:18:46 PM »

P.F. Chang's is oke. Nowhere near as good as The Plum Tree, which was really excellent. As to Cold Stone, I've been there several times (they just opened one five minutes from me), but I don't like it. I keep thinking I should like it, but it's too rich, too sweet and just not to my tastes. I much prefer Ben and Jerry's in every way and, of course, I still like Baskin-Robbins, too.

bk · « **Reply #78 on:** July 26, 2004, 02:19:50 PM »

Now, wait just a darned minute - I didn't realize I'd just gone over 5,000 postings. Hoo and ray. Shall I list our top ten posters? Not that it means anything, as we treasure all our posters no matter how many postings they've made.

Matt H. · « **Reply #79 on:** July 26, 2004, 02:20:19 PM »

Always love Ben and Jerry's.

Hmmm. I do believe there was a tie for 10th at 1573, which with this post has now been broken.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #83 on:** July 26, 2004, 02:28:35 PM »

The only reason I'm ahead of TCB in postings is because he's had serious computer problems. I'd much rather it be because of a competition between us, to see who could post more, but there it is.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #84 on:** July 26, 2004, 02:31:46 PM »

TOD: I've never been much of a lounge fan. I like an honest-to-gawd sofa.

Sorry.

I do remember Hugo Montenegro dabbling for a while in pop music, during my high school years, and our mixed chorus getting to use some of his charts for a concert they put together during my senior year. He was a very nice fellow, and worked with the chorus members a couple of times in preparation for the show.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #85 on:** July 26, 2004, 02:32:21 PM »

Time to get ready for work!

Matt H. · « **Reply #86 on:** July 26, 2004, 02:36:11 PM »

I remember looking on my parents' 78 rpm records when I was a kid and under the name of the song and the artist performing it, it would say "Fox Trot" or "Jazz." Did people really care back then what tempo or type of music was being played? I assume if they bought the record, they knew what they were getting before purchasing.

Jay is now 1574, Jose is 11th at 1573 and I'm 12(!) at 1563 (with this post). No slouch in the post-department am I!

Nice pic, Dear Reader Jane.

Question: Why do the apes have their own palace in Bratislava?

That's an interesting observation DR Jay. Here's what the guide book says:

"A relatively obscure fact that we learned during our travels is that the old Slovenian kings were descended from apes that migrated to Europe from Africa in the 5th century BC. At the time of the migration the land was populated with simian-wannabes like the Greeks and Romans--thus it was fairly easy for the roving gorillas to assume positions of leadership in the lands that became Slovenia.

(BTW, it is rumored that Nero's great grandmother was an ape. Apes are notoriously tone deaf and Nero probably inherited his lack of ability from the ape-gene transfer.)

Today in Bratislava this little-known biological artifact can be witnessed in the Bratislavan saying "king see, king do" and, of course, the name of the royal residence: The Primate's Palace."

The above excerpt was posted by DR Jane's husband who assumes no responsibility for how other DRs subsequently use this information.

Also...he says "Hi guy"

to DR Jay!
