Clearly an episode of kismet. (Should that be capitalized, or am I just thinking of the musical?) Just before Christmas, my fine friend and fellow Pennsylvanian dharmachris posted one of my favorite Cab Calloway songs, "Everybody Eats When They Come To My House." Later that day, while scouring the CD racks at a local books 'n' music chain in our local consumer district in a vain attempt to find a Blossom Dearie CD for Mrs. Ivylander's stocking, I came across the source of ...

Local story that I have seen nationally, and it seems so wrong that there is even a need for food banks here, let alone a spike in need for the holidays. The local story, Hungry Times for Area Food Banks, citing a couple of reasons why there is less food available for food banks now, including the rise of dollar stores. I had read elsewhere that another reason for the decrease in food bank supplies was the increased demand for corn and other grains for ethanol fuel. (Ano... MORE

"St. James Infirmary Blues" is an American folksong of anonymous origin. One of Louis Armstrong's several recordings of the song credits it to "Joe Primrose," but this was a pseudonym for Irving Mills, a musical agent and songwriter who is unlikely to have contributed lyrically, though he may have published an original arrangement.

so 911 really IS a joke. at least when this dude is calling...
special thanks to my girl for the heads up.
check out the full audio of his 911 call here. I would recommend getting high just to sit through this -- it takes a lot of mental fortitude to get all the way to the part here he asks what the score of the Red Wings game is.

My first exposure to music was tap lessons when I was three years old. When you're that young, you really just try to learn your right foot from left to music. I stuck with it for about 13 years and with the help of my mom (who was also my teacher), developed an appreciation of many of the great tap dancers. The Nicholas Brothers, Fayard and Harold, performed in many movies, the most famous routine being this, from "Stormy Weather." The first bit is Cab Calloway's band... MORE
