Reason: The Seger CD is a good point of my thinking at this point - sveral songs on it. Stewart's Forever Young (after will be Joan Baez's same titled but different mood and lyrics) as I am thinking of someone that was in my life 24 years ago and now there is separation. Moodiness at where I am now, a major decision to make today, and the thought of that person and the wishes both Forever Young versions to that person and missing them. Trying to figure my own self out is also in play. Next song after will be Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight," followed by "Still the One."

IndyKlipschFan Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Finding Nemo.. With my 2 yr old Daughter tonight.. It is her favorite...And a great story for kids and adults! A "Must Have" Disney classic. By the way, Disney announced they sold over 3 Billion..(with a movie tickets this year...Worldwide. That is amazing!!! Press release below! BURBANK, Calif., Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The Buena Vista Film Distribution Group -- Buena Vista Pictures Distribution (BVPD) and Buena Vista International (BVI) -- has set a new industry record for the biggest global box office year of all-time with its combined domestic and international gross exceeding $3 billion. This milestone achievement, reached on Thanksgiving Day, was announced today (12/3) by Dick Cook, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios; Chuck Viane, president of Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, and Mark Zoradi, president of Buena Vista International. Domestically, BVPD is continuing to have its best year ever at the box office with a year-to-date gross of $1.48 billion (surpassing its previous high of $1.24 billion in 1999). Internationally, BVI also posted record box office receipts for the year-to-date with a sensational gross of $1.6 billion. With a full month still to go, the combined grosses for the Buena Vista Film Distribution Group now stands at $3.08 billion. This unprecedented figure easily beats the previous industry record posted by Sony in 2002, when its domestic and international tally for the market share year climbed to $2.864 billion. It also marks the eighth time in the last nine years that the Buena Vista Film Distribution Group has surpassed more than $2 billion in global box office receipts, a record unmatched by any other company. Commenting on the announcement, Cook said, "By any measure, 2003 has been an extraordinary year for Disney's motion picture division with such hit films as 'Finding Nemo,' 'The Pirates of the Caribbean,' 'Bringing Down the House,' 'Brother Bear,' 'Freaky Friday,' 'Holes,' 'Open Range,' among others. We are very proud to have established a new industry record for the biggest global box office receipts in a single year and are grateful to our creative, distribution, and marketing teams for their hard work and special efforts in making this happen. Of course, no such record would be possible without a great line-up of films and for that we have an incredible group of talent, both in front of and behind the camera, to thank." Viane added, "We are thrilled to be celebrating our best year ever at the box office. This is the eighth time in the last ten years that Buena Vista has passed the $1 billion mark at the box office and the seventh time in the last decade that we have been the #1 distributor in the marketplace. We became the first distributor to ever have two back-to-back $300 million releases -- 'Finding Nemo' and 'The Pirates of the Caribbean.' 'Nemo,' which has already grossed $340 million domestically, is not only the highest grossing film of the year, but the all-time top-grossing animated feature in industry history. With its current gross of $305 million, 'Pirates' has the distinction of being the second highest grossing film of 2003, the all-time highest grossing film from producer Jerry Bruckheimer, and Buena Vista's all-time top grossing live-action release." Zoradi said, "This is the biggest grossing year in BVI history and the ninth year in a row that BVI has grossed more than $1 billion at the box office. 'The Pirates of the Caribbean' is on target to become the most popular Disney banner live-action film ever released internationally, with an amazing gross to date of $345 million. 'Finding Nemo' continues to be an enormous hit overseas with a gross to date of more than $240 million and has just begun its roll-out in continental Europe and launches in Japan this coming weekend. Another major international success for us has been 'Bruce Almighty,' which has earned $204 million in BVI acquired territories, is the seventh live-action title we've distributed to surpass the $200 million plateau, and our highest grossing acquisition of all time."

jdm56 Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Last music listened to: Vince Gill's first Christmas CD. Before that, it was an old Mark Isham CD on Windham Hill, "Vapour Drawings". And before that, I listened to Norah Jone's "Come Away With Me" for about the 100th time. As to why certain recordings, no special reason. I just scan my CD shelves until something clicks. On the video side, I just received (but have not viewed) from Columbia House, three new titles: "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", "Little Shop Of Horrors", and "Blackhawk Down". All on DVD, delivered to my front door for $13.10 apiece - hard to beat that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynnm Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 Butch Waller Golden Gate Promenade Rebel REB-CD-1753 Superb Bluegrass but unlike most BG albums it is nicely paced ie: Waller resists the temptation to "Burn Down the Barn" on every cut. That said all hell busts out on a couple of cuts Waller was a friend of Bill Monroe ( toward the end of Monroe's life ) and the Monroe influence is acknowledged and described in the notes. Butch is accompanied by a number of highly accomplished acoustic musicians playing guitar,bass,dobro,banjo and fiddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brings back some memories. ---------------- That (the Raindrops song) brings back memories of 1970... I was in the Princeton Boys Choir in New Jersey 1969/1970 (now the American Boys Choir). That was one of the pieces we did on our fall concert 1970. I have ordered the 3 CD set of Duke Pearson from Mosaic records based on Allan Songer's recommendation in the thread "Hey Allan Songer", but right now I'm listening to Randy Newman's song book, vol. 1. Many of his songs re-done in a much more scaled down way. Each cut is mostly piano/vocals and really great provacative songs. I'm also liking an older CD by Jimmy Webb, just him on piano singing his own songs. Really good stuff. On the DVD I rented Grateful Dawg and I've found it to be really well done. I especially like "The Thrill is Gone" and "Shady Grove". I recently watched 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind' and "Frieda" and both were EXCELLENT.

cluless Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 This was a TOTAL music Day. I spent the entire day cooking and jamming... Things started out slow Lifehouse, Default, The Calling, Five For Fighting, The Strokes, ... Later things livend up with Trapt, Cold, Fuel , Nickleback, Queens of the Stone age, and Interpol. Winding down now with Paul Westerburg.. Which brings me to ..... does there exist a 5 or 6 cd disk changer that knows the difference between a data track and an audio track? I didn't get hit by it today, but I use my changer almost exclusively over my dvd player for music, and it really is annoying when I get to listen to the totally silent data track for an eternity. Speaking of Finding Nemo....I'm pissed at Netflix...they sent me the bonus disk and not the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
