    What are you listening to?

    At the moment, I am listening to Tchaikovsky, Swan Lake Suite, OP 20. Lately, I had been listening to pieces from Wagner's Ring Cycle most evenings. I love Woten's Farewell and the Magic Fire Music, especially mixed with Ride of the Valkyries, and a few other related pieces. However, after...

    Today in History

    A bit before the golden era, but April 14 and 15 150 years ago, Abraham Lincoln was shot and died. General Lee had surrendered a few days earlier, and the Civil War (an oxymoron if ever I heard one) was all but over. It should not be forgotten.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The original series? Or the modern knock-off? (Just curious?) One of my favorite episodes of the original series guest starred David Wayne as a conman. There were another two episodes that had a similar conman played by a different actor, but I cannot remember his name offhand. The last...

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Water pumps from the late '30s through the '70s and maybe later have a nasty habit of failing suddenly after sitting for several months (a speck of rust will form, cut the seal just a bit, allowing water to get to the bearing). Usually, I listen carefully, and catch them in time. Sometimes they...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Currently watching "Streets of San Francisco", again. At least Karl Malden wears a nice hat.

    Oldest person you ever knew?

    For what it is worth, and as Stearmen and others have mentioned, there is doubt of the accuracy of the tale. However, I have a clear memory from when I was about four years old (this would have been about 1956). We were visiting some people that I did not know, but my parents apparently did. I...

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    Zombie_61 I quote you: "I'm the guy who will hold the door open while an entire crowd of people passes through, with my wife waiting for me (sometimes impatiently) on the other side. And, as best I can remember, the closest I've come to being "yelled at" for doing so is someone simply walking...

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    I hate to disagree with you jamespowers. One of the reasons we wound up in Grass Valley is that (most years?) we get enough snow to love it! But not enough snow to hate it. We are only about three hours from San Francisco. This is the first year since we came here that we have had NO snow at our...

    Favorite Composer

    Wow. How many pages would you like me to write? Whether discussing so-called true classical music, or popular eras music? Generally speaking, most of the greats, or best known, are well known for very good reasons. They wrote good stuff. Giuseppe Verdi totally earned his place high on the list...

    Stearmen, Thank you for that link! That one I had not seen before. Ed is one of several people that I have been very fortunate to know.

    Show us your vehicles

    Stearmen, I had to laugh when I saw your two postings. Ed Archer's #4 has been my number one top favorite model T racing car since he first completed its restoration more than 45 years ago. He has done an incredible job keeping the car nice, and yet has driven it probably more than any other...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Strangely? Actually a fond memory. When my wife and I got married 38 years ago, it just so happened that the then annual broadcast of "The Wizard of OZ" was our first night together. So we watched "The Wizard Of OZ" on our honeymoon. Hey? You gotta keep your priorities in order. It is still one...

    I like that Indian and I like that Indian that color red! Something like that could make me ride a motorcycle! (As if I could afford it?) My two current vintage rides. Not quite all model Ts were painted black. But that is the way I like my coupe!

    It will always be May 1936...

    I don't think I could choose a single few years as my favorite. For automobiles in general, I like about 1910 to 1912 as the ideal peak. They were refined enough for reliable travel, and at the peak character and charm as well. In another sense, I really like the truly primitive automobiles that...

    What are your favorite T.V. theme songs?

    GHT, And I thought I was the only person that remembered that show! I still think of Alan Hale Jr as Casey Jones before the Skipper.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    A comment by LizzieMaine "I wanted to show Lillian Gish in "The Wind," which is an astonishing work of art, but they absolutely didn't want to touch any silent pictures." It has been a long time since I saw that film! Even though I was a big fan of many silent films before seeing it, having...

    Do lunatics help or hurt an online forum?

    Interesting thread. In the first place, I was born sarcastic. Then, while still little, I wanted to grow up to be like the old man in the Shirley Temple movies. So I definitely fit into the curmudgeon category, probably with a side of crazy. You have to be a little crazy to actually prefer to...

    What is the Golden Era to you?

    "The Golden Era" encompasses so many different parts of life, and history, and "style", that is is difficult to pin down. In fact, it is like a discussion I get into within some antique automobile groups when they want to pin down the rules concerning what cars, and/or restoration quality, is to...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    The comic strip "Alley Oop" apparently is still running in some papers around the country. I occasionally read it in a local rag (speaking of old expressions) while waiting for my order at a local diner. The references are current enough that I know they are not just old reruns. I also often...

    If you could solve just one mystery....

    Some interesting thread wanderings in the past year?! A lot of things both recent and pre-wandering that I wonder about often. Let me just add, not all aliens came in ships from other planets? There are many things I wish I knew the answers to. Including a few things I have seen.
