More banjo-related news
Thu, February 4, 2010 @ 6:52AM
Since my blog already seems to be heavy on the banjo-related content lately, I guess it couldn't hurt to pass along the following item: Folk singer Pete Seeger pulls old banjo from eBay FISHKILL, N.Y. (AP) — Folk musician Pete Seeger has pulled his famous banjo from the eBay Internet auction site and intends to donate it to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland. The 90-year-old Hudson Valley resident had put the head section of the banjo up for auction with the intention of donating the proceeds to a nonprofit organization that plans to plant trees in Haiti. But Seeger says he'll instead donate the item to the Hall of Fame and Museum, where the singer was inducted in 1996. The banjo head, similar to a drum head, bears the words "This Machine Surrounds Hate and Forces It To Surrender." Seeger played the banjo for decades but was told by R.J. Storm, who repairs his instruments, that the head needed to be replaced.

I Remember why I don't like them.
Mon, January 18, 2010 @ 8:27AM
I remember why I don’t watch reality and award shows. I don’t know what possessed me to turn the channel to the Golden Globe Awards; truly it was an unknown force that had control of me on a Sunday evening. After asking myself over and over again, why I was wasting my time, I was still staring at the pretty people and listening to the same thank yous when I finally hit the wall and turned it off. The recipient of the best comedy or music award went to “Hangover!” I will confess. I saw the movie, sort of. If you enjoy vulgarity, sex, stupidity, no real plot, please don’t miss it. Yes, that is just one person’s opinion that means absolutely nothing. I actually am a movie fan. Completely enjoy seeing any movie, especially where they should be viewed, in a theater. Going back to “Hangover.

February 8 - Happy Birthday Fritz Peterson
Mon, February 8, 2010 @ 12:09PM
The Big Apple Sports Birthday celebrant for February 8 is the former Yankee starting pitcher, Fritz Peterson, who was born in Chicago, in 1942. Fritz Peterson was a lot of different people rolled into one pinstriped uniform. I guess first off, he was a very talented left-handed starting pitcher who won 20 games for the 1970 Yankees, won 109 games during his nine seasons in New York, pitched over 1,800 innings, threw eighteen shutouts and compiled an impressive 3.10 ERA for a string of Yankee teams that were not exactly known for their offensive or defensive prowess. Fritz was also one of the whackiest guys in the Yankee clubhouse. His first Yankee roommate, Jim Bouton once confessed to Peterson that he pitched better when he was really nervous about something. Before Bouton's next start Fritz walked up to him and told him that if New York didn't win the game, Bouton's infant son was going to die.

Healthy Salads and more!!
Tue, February 2, 2010 @ 1:25PM
Sooo.... how about that dinner of yours? Need some sprucing up or just new ideas? Well, I think in the middle of the winter, it is great to be able to have a nice tossed salad that is more than just iceberg lettuce and hard tomatoes, right? So, since I eat a lot of salad, sometimes twice a day, and since lettuce growing season is coming, I will impart some salad making ideas to you. I know that most lettuce is expensive, but think of it on the up side; aren't you worth it? Ok, choose Boston lettuce or Red leafed bunched or Green leafed bunched. You could then get iceberg or Romaine in the bag or a bunch of it, to mix with the loose leaf lettuce. Another choice is the lettuce by the pound, but only if it is not wilted. Of course one could also add baby spinach, yummy!! Ok, then choose grape tomatoes or the vine ones; avoiding any hothouse tomtoes, as they are hard! Other toppings could include scallions chopped up, radishes cut thin, olives, carrots, and celery.
