What are you listening to?
Charlie Shavers playing Gershwin, String Orch by Sy Oliver. A well-made record, Shavers tone is suberb, a great LP to talk with the wife after dinner - better with candle light. But... I was specting much more. Sy is one of my preferred arrangers, Shavers usually is a hot player. This is...- martinsantos

What are you listening to?
After saying "Good Morning!!" to my neighbours with Duke Ellington, recording sessions of 1963... Time to take off the dust of ol' reel-to-reel. Willliam Walton, Violin Concerto and Viola Concerto. With Menuhin and regency by Walton. Both Concertos just wonderful - but the Viola one is...- martinsantos

Film Noir?
Doug, I always had a lot of curiosity about Woolrich work. Very original and interesting. But a lot of people I know readed or heard about Hammett and Chandler (in popularity both walk together! Who knows Hammett knows Chandler, and vice-versa). But never heard about Woolrich. Anyway, they...- martinsantos

Film Noir?
My dear friend, I know who Woolrich is - and I readed all these stories by him, as well saw the movies! :eusa_doh: I just meant that if we ask people around us about him (of course getting out from FL)... We will get no answer. Noir movies are strongly identified with the private eye...- martinsantos

Wonderful home, Lizzie. My grandmother had a washing machine exactly as yours. Bought from USA by catalogue, as my grandfather loved to do (he ever bought a car this way).- martinsantos

Film Noir?
Well, as far as I ask people, Woolrich is completely unknown. Remembered most by a french film made from "the bride wore black". And one thing I must say about Hammett stories. I can't call him as a "usual" crime writer. You can read and read again all his stories - something that I never...- martinsantos

Your Favorite Composers
Lizzie, The "Brown" is Nacio 'Herb' Brown? Not my "top four", but like a lot his music. And always just loved his (probably) first hit, "When Buddha Smiles".- martinsantos

Transmitting your own signal
One of the very first things I constructed with tubes was a little AM transmitter, from the schema on a RCA tube Manual. I made in in a cigar box. Not a wonderful set - for my faults, specially when wiring the coil. But worked OK.- martinsantos

In a Ellington mood today... Now with Sinatra. Paul Gonsalves plays in a unbeliveable way. He plays sax as it would be so easy!...- martinsantos
