    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    I just finished my Saturday afternoon visit with my ZOOM buddies. We talked about our impressions of the Chicago Show, and everyone who was there was mightily satisfied and thought it was a great show.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Whew! I just finished catching up with all the posts I missed while at the Chicago Show - more than 75 pages! And, yes, I read them all; it took me three evenings. The show was great.

    While meeting with my Saturday afternoon ZOOM buddies, I smoked Samovar in my Rich Lewis rusticated calabash #731. My beverage was my usual Peach/Mango Green Tea with a splash of Honey Jack Daniel's. Great conversation and camaraderie. For those who observe, Happy Easter!

    What Are You Listening To - March, 2024

    Today is Modest Mussorgsky's birthday (1893). Here is an amazing scene from Act 4 of Boris Godunov (the prayer and death of Boris), in a 1956 Producer's Showcase television performance, with my father's life-long friend, basso Nicola Moscona as the monk Pimen and Boris Christoff as Godunov.
