Princeton no longer looking like Cinderella – they came to play By Lord Buckbeak – Mar. 18, 2023 – for Buckbeak Press After upsetting number two seed Arizona 59-55 in the first round 15th seeded Princeton destroyed seventh seeded Missouri 78-63 in the second. Missouri simply had no answer to the bombardment of three pointers Princeton put up. Missouri looked like it might have superior one-on-one athletes – tho’ that is debatable – but when it came to playing smart as a team it was Princeton hands down. Missouri did not play badly but they did start to look defeated … Continue reading Princeton Tigers roar through Missouri Kitty Cats

My cmnt: This is now my second post on Taylor Swift. I know that makes me a groupie by some standards but I deny the designation. I don’t own a single Swift record, album or CD. I will listen to her songs when they play on the radio in my car while driving somewhere and that’s about it. I’m an old man and prefer classic rock for background music but as an instrumentalist I play smooth or contemporary jazz tunes and listen to Chris Botti. My cmnt: I fully recognize Taylor as a political and societal airhead who simply spouts … Continue reading Taylor Swift makes global music history once again in 2022

Here’s an interesting word. The is old English from the Latin and means “wall”. So first it means the wall of a body cavity. Then the wall of a hollow structure. And then it came to stand for the rules for opposite sex visiting in dormitories – rules that kept a “wall” of separation between the sexes. And finally it became the name of the prehistoric art painted on the walls of caves 30-40,000 yrs ago which came to be called parietal art. Handprints at Cueva De Las Manos.

Posing as reference for the mermaids in “Peter Pan” for Disney Animation: Margaret Kerry with harp, Connie Hilton below and June Foray at right OCTOBER 14, 2022 – POSTED BY JIM KORKIS – for CartoonResearch.com My cmnt: I’ve never understood (as a child) the sexual innuendoes in some (a lot) of the Disney animated motion pictures. The female characters are drawn as erotic as they could get away with. Tinkerbell and the mermaids have some kind of infatuation with Peter Pan that cannot possibly be requited. Even the human Wendy is infatuated with Peter and becomes the object of intense … Continue reading In Her Own Words: Margaret Kerry of “Peter Pan” Mermaids

I paid $799 + tax of $61.40 from Sweetwater online. Their sales guy did not know anything about woodwinds and even less about this instrument. He did try hard for what it’s worth. Ok, I’m not creating this Post to diss on Sweetwater. They were fine to deal with and they did allow me to order the Roland AE-10 with it and return either or both if I did not like them. I did return the AE-10 for a restocking and cleaning fee and shipping that came to $53.08 which was more than I was told it would cost to … Continue reading I recently purchased the Yamaha YDS-150 digital saxophone

Out of touch? Basic? A new term to describe a certain aesthetic is gaining popularity on TikTok.

It was coined by a now 23 year old white woman in 2013 while a student at Beverly Hills High School, on whom the irony is apparently lost. According to the New York Times, “cheugy (pronounced chew-gee) can be used, broadly, to describe someone who is out of date or trying too hard.” Person 1: Did you read that article in the New York Times about cheugy? It was pretty … Continue reading What Is ‘Cheugy’? You Know It When You See It.
