Mamah has left her family - her little children and a doting husband along with her unmarried sister - to take up with an artist. This is something like running away to join the circus... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~438172946052 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 14:44:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_438172946052?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_436542738052?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WBDBaj - This study of the major rock groups of the early 50's through the present is much more than just the three women in its title.

He has always latched on to a person's "one big thing," and just ripped and ripped and ripped it apart. But reading his humor, you can see... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~378599476868 Tue, 19 Jun 2007 17:28:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_378599476868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_377533795972?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WBDBaj - Barbara Kingsolver, most widely known for her book THE POISONWOOD BIBLE, is 74th worst for America as written in a book a few years ago.

An apt stage performer, Nell charmed the king - but not enough to stop his insatiable sexual appetites. Nell was an orange selling young girl who caught the attention of the king when she entered... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~357347593860 Fri, 4 May 2007 16:49:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_357347593860?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_354910047876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WBDBaj - When you take the elevator up to Heaven (he he he), and look to your left, there is a slightly darkened room with a bar.

That accent and those Southern phrases are how this book is written. Sherry Suib Cohen wrote down every word, every phrase, every dropped g (as in cookin')... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~353673318020 Thu, 26 Apr 2007 14:39:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_353673318020?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_351778672260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WBDBaj - We have been to Noma twice in two weeks, by accident, and we'd go again. Location is just down from The Morris civic Theater, and ballroom, as well as across the street from the Marriott hotel. Parking all around.

Smith has once again captured the Afri-speak of a new Africa, with some in the old tradition, and some wanting to be "modern." Once again, the language, the respect... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~351715167876 Sun, 22 Apr 2007 10:01:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_351715167876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_346113478276?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WBDBaj - It used to be that the Oyster Bar at Grand Central Station had the plates built right into the countertops. It was a real diner kind of place, with gum-popping servers and men shucking oysters right in front of you.

They are hugely talented, and beautiful, and their dresses are flighty, gorgeous, and flowing. Their voices are angelic, and the songs are just so...Irish - even the ones... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~337627680388 Fri, 23 Mar 2007 17:00:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_337627680388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_333100256900?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author WBDBaj - We went to see FLOOK at Notre Dame's DeBartolo Center last fall. What fun! Irish, Irish, Irish - a young lass playing the flute to no end, a young man beating the Irish drum, and a third playing the strings.

It's like THE formula - especially when Tim Allen is involved. Is it tired and overdone? A little.
