I appreciate the responses and am sorry I couldn't answer each one. I was ill this week with an upper respiratory infection and pretty much out of commission. I'm felling better now after a round of antibiotics.

Thanks. I'll check on that. Yes, I remember. I recently found a You Tube clip of Rory Gallagher and Jack Bruce.

Thanks. Thanks very much.

Thank You.

I've been ill for over a year and want to apologize for not responding to those who left birthday messages last summer. I just logged on today after a long absence. I noticed that Audiokarma had a format change. I thought I had signed up for auto renewal, but I was no longer a member. I just...

Yes, that's the porch scene from "It's a Gift."--a classic scene. I never saw a comedy where somebody was more henpecked.

I haven't seen them together yet. I recently bought a DVD set with 18 of his films. There's a more comprehensive set but it was too expensive for me. I'll look for one with Mae West. I also noticed that Ernst Lubitsch was in one of his films. I had a friend who wrote several books on romantic...

Yes, it was recommended by a friend. I have it on a DVD collection I just bought.

I've been a film buff since college. Recently, a friend suggested that I watch some W. C. Fields. I searched YouTube and found a number of early material that was in the public domain. I can honestly say that he's the funniest film comedian I've ever experienced. The first one I watched was a...

I've been a film buff for many years. One of my favorite directors is Jean-Luc Godard. His film, "Le Mépris" (Contempt) is one of my favorites. I've read that some not only consider it his best film but the greatest film ever made. I recently watched it for the third time. (Oh how I miss films...

His response to his adversity was heroic. I once read a passage from one of Montaigne's Essays where he explains the difference between a good man and a virtuous man. He says that a person who is good by nature and suffers little misfortune in his life is simply a good man. But the virtuous man...

I'm happy now that AT&T doesn't provide fast DSL to my area. I'm basically stuck with Comcast cable for internet service. The trouble with cable service is that when many people are using it, it slows down. An engineer once explained to me that DSL provides a separate line to each customer. But...

Last night, I saw a powerful documentary on George Harrison, directed by Martin Scorsese, called "Living In the Material World." I never knew of its existence until I noticed it was a streaming option on Netflix. It's a long film but I was glued to my TV. One can see Scorsese's creative touch...

Yes, I remember listening to Blue Oyster Cult when I was young. For some reason, I didn't keep up with the band. I'd like to check out Nine Inch Nails. I think it's something I'd like. Rediscovering the music from the past can get a bit expensive. After I started listening to "Queen," recently...

This story is a bit strange. I was formerly listening exclusively to jazz and classical music. Since I've been ill, I've been at home most of the time because the summer heat in my area is debilitating. One day, I saw a David Bowe CD that my son bought some years ago. The album was called "Space...
