medjuck--yes, the Don Palmer piece was mine. It's now available online here--

Don's a really fine musician, & I wish his recorded legacy were larger & more representative. He did say he was planning to release some tapes done by the CBC which are in his possession--I hope that comes to fruition. Meanwhile, if you're in Toronto, he does gig around town.

Happy b-day from Nightlightsville!! :party::party: May many swell new releases come your way this year.

Yes, though not too many--I'm currently trying assiduously to deal with the 2005 backlog! There were a hell of a lot of really good discs that were released last year, not even counting the noised-about ones.

:party::party::party: Have a great one! So Anne(your 8 year old?) like's Astaire/Roger Movies? :cool:

Rita was never lovelier than she was in this film, sexiest back ever!

Yeah, Anne's really into Fred & Ginger--we have a video of Top Hat which she plays a lot (she can sing "Cheek to Cheek" from heart). She's also a big fan of Silk Stockings, which is a wonderful, too-little celebrated film. Actually I think it may be Astaire's best film. -- Anne's well versed in a lot of old films, since I tend to get them for all-the-family viewing. In fact she's been rifling through my Xmas present, the Kino set of Buster Keaton's films, in the past week. We're also lucky that Toronto's art film cinema, the Cinematheque Ontario, has matinee showings of stuff likely to appeal to kids--she's seen The General, Safety Last & The Freshman there with live piano accompaniment.
