  3. I know that everyone on this board is a musical snob so I figured that I would P.O. all of you by giving my review of someone who isn't "hip" enough : Wifey, her sister (my SIL) and myself went down to see him at the Granada Theatre. Dallas Morning News Review: http://www.dallasnew...ada-theater.ece Fort Worth Star Telegram Review: http://www.dfw.com/2...da-theater.html Set List hasn't been posted yet, but here is the set list from Austin (very similar): http://www.setlist.f...x-73c322cd.html Observatiions: Theatre was configured to a club setting, so you had to stand the whole time 75/25 girls to guys If you are a fan of 45-55 y.o. women, you could have walked out of there with some serious tail Because of the crowd mix, they converted the men's room to a ladies' room (and the lines were still long). Guys had to use the upstairs bathroom (normally used for the theatre's offices). Wifey and SIL both brought panties to throw at the stage. About 2 dozen thrown. Tom Jones joked that ladies need to be sure to take off the price tags first LOL. Surprising # of 20-somethings there LOTS of blues songs, as you can tell by the set list Didn't play many of the old favorites that you would think should be played The band was kick-a$$. The 2 lead guitars and the bass were very high up in the mix. I may lose my man card for this, but the guy does know how to put on a show. Voice in great shape, lots of crowd interaction, always moving around the stage, and he belted out EVERY number. Strange to hear "Thunderball" with a guitar lead (no horns), but it worked.

  6. http://www.washingto...9778_story.html A set of questions credited to Heilmeier that anyone proposing a research project or product development effort should be able to answer: What are you trying to do? Articulate your objectives using absolutely no jargon. How is it done today, and what are the limits of current practice? What's new in your approach and why do you think it will be successful? Who cares? If you're successful, what difference will it make? What are the risks and the payoffs? How much will it cost? How long will it take? What are the midterm and final "exams" to check for success?

  19. I met him twice. The first time in the 1970's, my dad took me to Boulevard Mall where there was some autograph signings. I remember that the only autograph that I got was Jack, because his line was the shortest since everybody wanted McAdoo/Smith/Heard etc. LOL The only thing that I remember was that he asked me more questions than I asked him, especially about what I wanted to be when I grew up and how important a good education was and to get good grades at school. The second time was around 1995, when I was changing planes on USAir in Philadelphia. He was sitting there (unnoticed) and we talked for a bit regarding the Braves. He said that he loved the City, loved the people, loved his players, and hated Paul Snyder with a passion. He then asked me about my kids and the importance of them getting a good education. He then introduced his son who was sitting next to him. He wanted to talk more about his son and his son's education (PhD) more than anything else. Apparently, his son is a college dean or something like that. I never realized until later on that the nickname "Dr. Jack" referred to his own PhD instead of his basketball knowledge.
