Thanks for the link yesterday DRJANE....hmmmmmmm.....we didn't even make the list! I guess nothing short of nuclear destruction of the Isle would put us in contention.

JRand your welcome. Even if I were on the list my religion would be unacceptable.

Keith’s genealogy research has me going back to the 12th century. Some of those people were servants, but others were of the gentry landowner class. There are some Lords that might be in my past but so far he hasn’t made any connections to them.

The first commercially advertised electric guitar was in 1928! Gibson was making models in the forties, and Les Paul helped create the solidbody electric, and Gibson created the Les Paul model.

So - is ABNER the answer?

Last time I was at the Smokehouse was with BK...about a year ago.

Jerome Coopersmith has an article in the current Mystery Scene Magazine about writing the book for the musical of BAKER STREET.

Hi all!

What lovely pictures, Tom! More, please!

Welcome DR Ginny! You will never find a nicer group of people then the people of this board. Happy posting to you!

Despite my plans to watch some of my DVD's, I got caught up in watching The Omen Triligy. I have never seen all of them. It was interesting. Don't think I want to watch it again. Not because it scared me but it was ok but not great.

Welcome New Dear Reader Ginny!

I'm off to my sister's for dinner. Later!

I can't think of any prior to Abner that would have had it, but certainly I'm no expert.

There's a good line on CHARMED tonight: "you'd think a demon invented reality tv, but the humans beat us to it."

And my guess was JAMAICA, also conducted - I think - by Lehman Engel. I guess Philip Lang wanted to push the country sound with the guitar, but I honestly don't ever recall hearing it on the album.

Thank you Danise.
I would if I could work out how!!
Can't seem to post them from my Kodak pics. Maybe I'll have to get DR Jane to post them instead.

Ta -da! A Sunday quiz for some DR's of a certain age.

Can you identify this woman - profiled in a September, 1967, issue of LOOK magazine?

She was on television regularly from 1960-1970. She is particularly indentified with one type of programming.

Keep guessing......I will let you know when someone guesses correctly!

Good luck!

It looks like Jacquie Kennedy. Is it Julie Andrews with dark hair?

I thought that as well! Great minds, Jane!

Your welcome, Tom. I wonder why they won't post? I download my pictures, go into Adobie, resize them to 480 X 360 and "save them for the net".

That's how I make my photos work for the site.

Jane · « **Reply #104 on:** October 24, 2004, 05:41:07 PM »

Ginny WELCOME!! I wish I had stayed longer in NY and we could have met. I am so glad you have joined us. Larry adores you so you must be wonderful.

You have certainly impressed m-Nancy Dickerson. The name is only vaguely familiar to me. Keith (my husband) went on line but could only find the magazine headlines which is why I came up with the guess that I did.

Jane · « **Reply #105 on:** October 24, 2004, 05:43:04 PM »

Tomovoz you are welcome even if the credit goes to Keith-my idea though. I will try and email you some more when I get control of the large computer (I’m on the laptop) again.

Years ago I would make garlic bread with butter and garlic powder. Eventually I changed to extra virgin olive oil and fresh garlic.

Dan (the Man)-great bookplate. I won’t even write my name in a book. And I do follow the CharlesPogues advice and never lend a book I want back. Sadly we have lost books that could not be replaced or I didn’t want to spend the money needed to replace them.

Elmore-great line on Charmed. If I show it to Keith he might give the show a chance.

Keith just went outside-I shall switch computers and see if I can downsize a couple of more photos.

DRJane, it's quite funny tonight: "Witch Wars" a reality show in the Demonic World, with demons killing witches for prizes.

Jane · « **Reply #107 on:** October 24, 2004, 06:01:35 PM »

Tomovoz email is on its way-eventually. Our upload with satellite takes awhile to send.

Elmore what station is CHARMED on?

Danise · « **Reply #108 on:** October 24, 2004, 06:10:28 PM »

Well folks, it's after nine. Time for me to take my shower and start to get ready for another work week. I'll try to contain my excitement.

Have a good evening.

But it's a repeat. I hate repeats!

Btw, Desperate Housewives was good.

Well, I was at The Smoke House last night, so it's alive and well.

WHEW! I was more than a little worried there. My father's father had two restaurants he loved to go to when he and Grandma were visiting us, the Smoke House and Sergeant's, and what with the latter being long gone, it would be a shame for the former to disappear as well.

I can make hushpuppies, a Sergeant's specialty, but the Smoke House Garlic Cheese Bread is unique.

At least this thread has made me crack open a few books I haven't cracked for a while. One, titled Hollywood du Jour, has recipies and histories of the hang-outs of yesteryear, ranging from the Coconut Grove and the Brown Derby, through Schwab's and Romanoff's to Ma Maison. Did you know that the Cobb salad originated at the Brown Derby? (I'd hold off on making their Old-Fashioned French Dressing, though - the recipe makes "about 1 1/2 quarts." That's a little more than I go through in, say, a decade.)

The WB!

Well it's on the WB for everybody but me. I don't get the WB, so our local FOX station carries all the WB shows. This is great, except for during baseball time. They are only shown after the game!

George · « **Reply #115 on:** October 24, 2004, 06:23:56 PM »

Just had to pop in. I'm still at my sister's. Homemade chicken and dumplings for dinner and pumpkin pecan ring from Costco for dessert. Haven't had dessert, yet. But we will soon. Some people (a Sondheim reference) haven't finished eating yet. We're not too formal here.

I love when the show it here at 7pm. But at the end of the show they said next week will be on at 9pm, same as ABC.

That's why I have three (yes, three...I know, I'm weird) VCRs.

Did Maria Von Trapp play electic guitar? Well I never.

Only on occasion. Electricity was rationed at the abby, and the blow-drier she used to quick-set her curlers had to take priority.

Welcome, Ginny!

I had a three hour dance rehearsal today, and all I got out of it was sore muscles and the worst cold I have had in years. I think I am going to bed.
