  1. @TLBD

    Youtube links won’t embed automatically unless you have them in their own line in the text.

  2. Kirsdarke,
    You won’t believe how gratifying it is to know and apply something that a person of your generation also knows.

  3. Going through Dvorak’s nine symphonies. The first five are OK but he really lit up in the last four.

  4. CTar1,

    Did some very nice concert overtures, around 10 – 20 minutes each.

  5. From my perspective, as someone who is not greatly enamoured of the latter two-thirds of 19th century “classical” music, Dvorak was really good. I love his Slavonic Dances; his Cello Concerto is right up there with the great ones, as are his later symphonies.

  6. I feel good tonight. I convinced my parents that it should be the right thing to do to give our old family dog dental surgery.

    They were told it’d cost over $800 since she’s 10 years old and would need oxygen and a lot of care, but if her teeth are so bad that the vet recommended it, it’d be worth it to get them fixed. Even if she doesn’t seem like she’s in pain, she’s probably hiding it and should be much better when the bad teeth are gone. And after that, she’s a hardy little dog so she should have at least 5 years to go.

  7. Duckster, I so wanted to marry Linda back in the late 70’s early 80’s’. I have a canvas of the album cover of ‘Mad love’ hanging on the wall of my stairway.

  8. GD – The Melanie is very nice. “Smoke rings of my mind” … very evocative.

    (Are you trying to break my streak of putting up the worst I can find?)

  9. The Poms are batting at a magnificent 2.20 / over. Has anyone told them the spectators are paying big money to see cricket?

  10. I find it sorta spooky, that at the peak of the “west coast sound” , linda was ‘romantically’ involved with the Governor of California, one Jerry brown. Fast forward to now, and who is the current Governor?And which band is still touring, and making zillions?

  11. The Stone Pony’s, Jackson Brown and the early days of the Eagles are all inter-connected.

    Country music meets Rock’n’Roll.

  12. lro,

    I don’t think Linda was ever “West Coast sound” as per Wilson’s bloody mob. Certainly not as part of the Ponies.

  13. Ducky,
    Moi is still sober, though v tired (but definitely not emotional).
    The pic was of a check putting a boot in.

  14. A guy I used to work with lived next door or thereabouts to ONJ when she was in her early teens. She was a bit of a tomboy it seems, and used to beat the crap out of him occasionally. My opinion of him was that she didn’t do it frequently enough.

  15. And while Quo are being pillored for “down down’, what about Lionel Richie? hello

  16. Ducks, Linda was so in the west coast sound. Ever see ‘FM’ ? After that , Linda morphed superbly , firstly with my favourite ‘Mad love’, and then into more classical stuff
