It was going to take a massive earthquake or food poisoning to derail this lineup of Nelson, Battle, Horne, Ramey, Aler, Chance, Mackie, the inimitable Sylvia McNair, Doss, the Ambrosian Opera Chorus, and the English Chamber Orchestra.
Alas, the seismic meters were calm and the seafood impeccably washed. Continue Reading »

Good grief, Elvis Costello, you’d better treat this lady well.
The room fills with rich smoke as Diana Krall sings, but it isn’t the guy slouched in the corner with the Habano. It’s what happens when Krall does this kind of singin’. Continue Reading »

I spend a lot of time in the car and love music and spoken audio. My 2004 Volkswagen Passat W8 has excellent sound but no satellite radio. I recently sprang for a Sirius radio off the shelf from Costco and then had reliable Jason and the guys at Auto Outfitters take care of the installation. I use a cassette adapter wired to the radio for sound input and the hiss was bringing the quality level of the music down to the barely tolerable level. Continue Reading »

For a Latin American woman, this is the worse place to be.

It has been a life’s goal, since getting married at twenty-three years of age, to learn ballroom dancing. It’s been on Linda’s and my to-do-someday list for all these years.
When I brought up the possibility of taking the plunge several months ago, my colleagues and their wives were too busy and my wife felt it wasn’t the moment. A more prudent soul might have taken some counsel from this unanimous withdrawal from what seemed to me a splendid idea. But I decided I was just gonna’ have to do this thing myself.
