Thank you Warrick Dunn...

Thats funny Tex,,,,good call...

Mr. Info...I am glad you liked it...When I saw them on the 11th , it was their first show and there were NO glitches....Amazing musicians.... TSO's web site is>>> trans-siberian.com

In Your Eyes...Peter Gabriel...... Upon the recommendations in previous threads, I bought JB,, "Grace" and after 4 listenings I was hooked..."Hallelujah" is breathtaking......

Grape pie.....served warm with vanilla ice cream... Pecan pie

Go U.Conn...Bowl eligible !!! It takes time for tradition to develop... OSU's winning on Sat is incredible.....I bet Columbus OH was rockin' last night...

What is your favorite football tradition ?? A special game, ritual , band ?? Mine is the script writing of "Ohio" by the OSU band....I have seen this three times in person and if you can't get pumped up by this, you don't have a pulse ...(OR are a Michigan fan...) When the sousaphone player 'dots' the "i" the stadium went nuts and I loved it... btw..i am not an OSU alumni , but I love this tradition...

Thanks CL...That made me laugh and I had a stevestojantty day at work

Congrats Scott.....

Good point Ann....

Great news Scott !!!

Prayers......

Wow....that does make it harder when the states disappear... Side note Fez...TSO was awesome..I published a review on their web site...They have a page where fans can post a review...look for Charleston WV 11/11

There were no pyrotechnics, but that might be due to the facility where the concert was.... In the new CD there are a lot of references to 'snow' and at one point snow falls from the light stand..Then the laser lights are engaged and the effect is amazing... Again, the lights are fantastic and worth the ticket price.... I can highly recommend this show... Ticketmaster is easy too..Hey, if I can do ticketmaster, I know anyone here can...LOL

The television pictures of Arafats funeral and burial define the word CHAOS....

http://www.trans-siberian.com/ontour/index.php Above is the tour list for Trans-Siberian Orchestra....They have TWO tour groups and last night in Chas, WV was the first for the east coast group. Lew's review: Trans-Siberia Orchestra is a group that combines rock music with a Christmas theme into a elongated tale about the 'meaning' of Christmas...There is a violin/cello component on stage as well as a Narrator, drummer, 2 keyboardists, 3 guitarists and assorted singers...The first part of the concert was the playing of the recent CD titled "The Lost Christmas Eve" Fabulous musicians, great presentation..Then a brief time out was used to introduce all the performers and banter with the audience... After the timeout the band played selected songs from their other CD's including Beethovens Last Night. During one song the lead guitarist took his 'ax' in the crowd and went upstairs to the balcony...There he played a cool solo.. An extended encore concluded a 2.5 hour presentation that included the most intense light show I have ever seen...I'd hate to pay the electric bill for the lights...The light show designer and set up crew gets A+ from this reviewer...After the concert the members of the band went to the front lobby and signed autographs for all who wanted to stay... Over all I give this an A...I can highly recommend this concert and recommend you wear sunglasses as the light show was bright ... As a bonus, TSO donated $1 from each ticket sold to a local charity...

I too had a bowling class as part of my degree...Way back when we had to have 4 credits of health/phys ed classes...I can remember it well..Bowling at 8 AM,,,then Organic chemistry followed by Physics and Calculus3...My sophomore year was a trip...

That is a great rant John....Wow,,,Those coaches are really doing a dis-service to the kids... Perhaps you and the other parents should contact the league directors and document this situation... I remember your messages about your son's playing..I hope he gets with a good team and decent coaches next year

This show has been on numerous times...Gawd I swear Tim Russert is within a whisker of crying... please don't equate Rick Reilly with a douche bag,,,thats an insult to douche bags...LOL My favorite part of the whole show is the vision of a Super Bowl victory celebration ...in the snow and cold of a February......

Ya done good ICE.,.....At least young Shaq has a mom who knows what the heck is going on...If the Dad saw a video of himself being an idiot, perhaps he might rethink his actions... Will this Dad be a problem during the upcoming hoops season ?? Helping the young QB is also great... After refereeing a youth soccer match, I try to give a pointer or two to some of the players...one of the 'coaches' (parents who got 'volunteered') asked me to help them with their practice.....

duey...I will see TSO on Thursday,,,,full review shortly after....

There is no "Happy" in Happy valley,,,that is for sure,,, Joe Pa needs to step down, but I don't see that happening...

As much as I hate to admit it,,,,The streak by the Patriots is a fantastic achievement....How many more ?? 22 ? 23 ?? 24 ???

Fair Hooker of the Cleveland Browns,,,

"The Root Canal Offense"..that was pretty good. Want offense ?? Hire the offensive co-ordinator of Purdue !!!
