OK, 2.5 hours later, now we are at my folks house picking up our dog they were babysitting. We are listening to my dad's cd of Frank Sinatra songs with my dads voice dubbed in, for 69 years old, he hasn't lost a note...

BrotherBob, I agree "Donvan's Reef" is a great classic. We also recently watched John Wayne's "True Grit" and Rooster Cogburn" I forgot how good those old movies were. I like them even better than "Donvan's Reef".

Talk about a case of the pot and the kettle -- I'm sitting here giving Sutter grief and I finally watched Cool Hand Luke for the first time last night.

The one bad thing about this hobby that I've observed (and it's been remarked upon many times here) is the tendency to skip substance in favor of a great audio mix. I'm certainly as guilty of it as anyone else. Yeah, War of the Worlds sounds f$#@n' great, but at the end of the day I think I'd probably rather watch Being There or The Big Sleep in mono.

I can't agree with you more, Mike. I've bought many crappy movies that make lots of noise because they are fun. I take more pride, though, in my growing collection of "classics."

I think Roger Ebert often remarks that special effects may look tremendous and astonishing, but it takes more skill to make us actually care about it.

Billy Joel for me tonight....

Tonight I'm listening to Bonniie Raitt "Souls Alike" then back to BR "Silver Lining".
Then John Hiatt "Slow Turning". I love this CD! Track 10 "Is Anybody There?" Hmm... very special, John pineing for love and at his very best.
Now I am on to John Mayall and friends "Along for the Ride" I have been listening to this guy since I'm seventeen. Will I ever get tired of him? I think not!
Free your soul enjoy the music!

Listening to The Rolling Stones 40 Licks.
Then I'll go to Jackson Brown solo acoustic vol.1

Is that the new Bonnie Raitt?

Souls Alike is her new CD. It was so good I went right on to Silver Lining which I guess you know is the one just prior to.
Souls Alike is so good I think I will be doing one of my mini reviews under the Music Corner topic. I just need a little more time with this recording. I just got it. A little heads up. If you are a Bonnie fan and I know you are, this is a must. But then which of hers don't fall under the category of must haves?
