@biglipdfool Just found your reply. They are not "plugged in" Those are microphones, not electronics. Re acoustic: I've heard, in person, Paco de Lucia, Al di Meola, John McLaughlin, Pepe Romero (in solo, and Concierto de Aranjuez with symphony), Leo Kottke (4 times), Tommy Emmanuel, Chet At...

@TurboPrime You exemplify the class of people who do not love their fellow man. I HATE people like that. (Stolen from Tom Lehrer)

@planetaazulbranco You are an idiot. North Korea's treatment of children is official policy. Its starvation of "defectives" to death is deliberate. Our is at worst neglect, and any that are found in such a situation are taken in and cared for. Their children are "in peace" only after they are ...

2. Your intent to learn his line? Good thing you didn't. OTOH, his being in front apparently distracted, since in multiple turns he turned in late, slowing too much, it appeared that you were watching his entry, knew it...

@Drunkz101 -- I wasn't. Now 72, I was in college when Julie was singing, "Cry Me a River". Damn . . . fell in love with Julie and Ella, fell in lust with Eartha and Lena.

I wonder . . . been around opera since the 1950's, the Met on Saturday afternoon radio was a religion in my childhood. When Pavarotti first burst on the scene, I was into road racing, I likened his performance to that of a great race driver, seemingly always on the edge of ohysical limts, court...

Was great, the first half . . . but then, to cast her country as evil . . . unacceptable. Too many seem to feel that they can show their compassion for others only by castigating the very home that provides them the ability to show that compassion. If you find fault here -- I do as well -- then...
