  1. From powerful cannons in the "1812 Overture" to the delicate "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", the best of them all: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Imo)
  2. https://pbase.com/panomaniac/buffalo_aud&page=8 http://www.forgottenbuffalo.com/forgottenbflofeatures/insidetheaud.html
  3. Not Pavlov. But this guys work is world renowned still. .....and surely, no dogs were tortured while he worked.
  4. Not as long as they keep getting those big TV contracts. Same with salary cap reduction, hopefully it's only for 2021. If the fans are back to near capacity the NFL will be fine.
  5. Bezos is worth more than half the owners combined. Amazon generated over 10x more revenue than the NFL in 2019. Amazon generated $386B in 2020, The NFL estimates a $4B loss in revenue to about $12B. The NFL's future is unsettled, Jeff Bezos looks rosy. Who needs who?
  6. He was Russian. Born and died there. Spent most of his life there But due to his fame, he did travel some.
  7. Can't say I can deny it, but don't know. Not a writer, dead before Hemingway was born. Guessing pic is from 1880's.
  8. Biden and co. doing a sort of a reverse scorched earth policy. Not a peep from the Left about it.

  10. Folk music? Kingston Trio?
  11. A woke moment for Justin Trudeau. .....he should have been this assertive with Biden for shutting down the Keystone pipeline.
  12. We have a couple of very nice glass enclosed bookcases in our home, the antiquated displaying of books lives on in our house. Hard covers only.
  13. Thought I saw someone cite Dicken's in this thread. 'Oliver Twist' is a legendary read. Read it twice.
  14. Never read 'The Longest Day', but I will, and soon. Have held that book in my hand and put it back too often.
  15. Ever consider 'All Quiet On The Western Front'? Non American perspective on WWl, and a easy read that falls into a historical portrait.?
  16. Tell Brian I said 'hey'.
  17. Fantastic read, which, again, led me to Nathanael West, particularly 'Day of The Locust', then his other works. Quick reads but engrossing. 'Hells Angels' is my favorite H.S.T. book. He was right there in with them. Read some great true Hollywood crime books. 'City of Nets', 'L.A. Noir' and 'Tinsletown'. Mickey Cohen involved in one, they were particularly good.
  18. Thank God I like Football more than Basketball' .....me too. I could shoot free throws but could never dunk. I could chuck a football. But I am not a chucker.
  19. Just woke up and looked, no research. Athlete? Spider Sabich?
