    I Don't Get It...What's the Big Deal?

    Liking any kind of art form is such a subjective thing and trying to describe why is difficult.

Roger Waters was the lyricist up until The Wall and they had a very...

    R.I.P. Keith Emerson

    I recently re-discovered ELP and the wizardry of Mr Emerson. Whatever the circumstances, it's still such a sad loss.

    Wherefore Art Thou.

    As Danie stated, I am alive and well. I seem to need periodic sabbaticals. I'm making a sort of test drive through the neighbourhood to see how it handles. Whoops I just ran a stop sign......Thanks for your concern.

    What Are You Reading?

    I've read both of them. The second one has a serial killer storyline and much more is revealed about Jacob Lev's mother and her connection to the Golem. I like the mixture of genres and look forward to what I assume will be the concluding volume.

    I also found her a compelling character and the whole cause and effect as Kellerman moved back and forth in time. Though I wonder how he could continue her story. Have you tried the Golem books he's written with his son?

    It's the same every year, MM. I start to run short, but I'll send you all the "ibes" I have. They're almost as good. :) btw, try the secondary ticket swapping sites. You may find a good deal.

    What Are You Reading?

    Right now I'm into Beatlebone, by Kevin Barry. A fanciful "what if" about John Lennon trying to escape to an island he owns off the coast of Ireland. Very funny and touching so far. And also, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, by Haruki Murakami.

    What Are You Reading?

    Yesterday, I finished Avenue of Mysteries. Classic John Irving!! Tragedy, heartbreak and hilarity on every page. I also read a collection of 3 novellas, by Patrick Modiano. He won the Nobel Prize in 2014 and reading about his work made me curious. The stories written over a span of 5 years all...
