Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone- sounds really frickin' nice on my office system, really well recorded.

OK, now for part two of your exam. When I say Michael Bolton and Celine Dion, what comes to mind?

Well done Claire, Well done Shelly, and soon to be well done Mike!

Happy Birthday hole cutter Nate!

Happy Birthday Craig!

by Salvador Dali---The Great Masturbator.. I think I get it, what insight he has.

Well after a certain age, that is the consequence of too much beer drinking.

Artwork is cool too!

Happy Birthday Naaman! Cut and paste artifacts, what can I say?

Blue Note- Stanley Turrentine With the 3 Sounds Dexter Gordon Bud Powell et al. Our Man In Paris Cannonball Adderley Quintet- Mercy, Mercy, Mercy

Those used oak chips are great for smoking ribs and pork butt too.

Congrats Ryan, glad you made it back in time.

Happy Birthday!

Deepak, how do you like this album? While picking out a bathroom remodel this past weekend I found a hole in the wall record shop just down the block in the alley. This caught my eye but the dealer (at the time) seemed to want too much for it. Should I be kicking myself? Then check out, http://www.amazon.co...tt_mus_dp_dpt_4 and http://www.amazon.co...tt_mus_dp_dpt_6 http://www.amazon.co...tt_mus_dp_dpt_3 great stuff! Right now Michael Nyman - The Heart Asks Pleasure First from the Piano. Hearing it live in my living room with my daughter Emily playing. Haunting and beautiful at the same time.

Happy Birthday!

I've been to that casino, the inside is beautiful and opulent up the yin yang. I could definitely see James Bond hanging out at the Baccarat tables or the bar.

Happy Birthday Colin!

Cee Tee and TMoney, you both seem to have excellent connections for juice. Having a meritage blend like an Opus would be awesome or having some of the grapes that were sourced by Caymus, Randy Lewis or Ashley Hepworth would be a dream come true. I am just not sure the interested parties here would want to pay those prices per ton.The concern I have with the Crushpad concept is the quality of grapes as we would not know what we actually end up with. Even Mt Veeder and Diamond mountain have their reject lots, wilted over ripe grapes that are other winemakers cast offs so throwing around a quality vineyard name as a source doesn't necessarily mean we are getting that vineyard's prime grapes. If there is real interest with the rest of the gang then perhaps some of this should migrate to pm.

Well be careful and wash your hands after.
