Good health and a visit with family and friends; IMO it doesn't get better than that. Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy new year, all!

We got the grandchild! (See my post of 6th Dec) Arrived today, only 12 days late, a bonnie lad of 8lb 7oz. Best Christmas present ever! (And of course "not just for Christmas"!)

My granddaughter is visiting for Christmas which is lovely. She's 20 months old and starting to talk. It's a fascinating age as they are really developing quickly. I remember my own kids at that age.

Oh and I asked my wife to get me a Chris Harvey Jig Doll. Will Fly's Beaky has a lot to answer for :-)

When we show my granddaughter the You Tube Beaky clip, she points at it and says "Doodle, Doodle!".

Tom's voice back with strength and resonance of old...but, thanks to Dr. Zeitels, we're well on the way! I desperately want to sing with Tom again!

And a new knee without having to lose six weeks pay while doing physical therapy. Barring that, how about a little LESS of something...such as pain. And a decent night's sleep...lots of them. Maybe being able to sleep on my side instead of propped up on my back with two pillows under my knee. (Ah, the things you don't appreciate until you can't have them.)

Oh, yeah, and world peace, an end to hunger, a job and a decent wage for everyone who needs one, a few more medical breakthroughs (and Dr. Z. getting his biogel approved by the FDA), a sensible energy policy with no massive oil spills, mountaintop removal, etcet etcet, governments and factions willing to talk first instead of reaching for the gun, the bomb, the suicide bomber, a couple political parties that can manage to work together for the good of the population instead of trying to satisfy the greed of those who already have too much, religions that start living up to their message...

I would like a pill that fills my head with all the music theory and skill for playing my guitar I would have had ,if I had started learning to play when I was a young teen ...

Hope you all had (and are still having across the pond )a Happy and peaceful time.

Liberace! Ach! The first place I remember living (47th St. in West Allis which is a suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin) when I was 3 and 4 years old was about a block away from where Liberace grew up and where his mother still lived (c. 1953).

Actually, a few years ago I came into possession of several videotapes of Liberace's 1950s TV show. He was BRILLIANT, way ahead of his time, bringing classical music to the masses, making it interesting. That was back in the era when he wore a fairly conservative tailcoat (black tie), had his brother George occasionally accompany him on violin, and had a candelabra on the grand piano. The cinematography was exceptional; sometimes he was filmed in silhouette through draperies, the camera never static, his smile flashing broadly at every opportunity.
