Now the producer in the music world, on the other hand, is a role I absolutely, positively detest and cannot defend whatsoever. My only nitpick, as a once-upon-a-time on-again off-again studio engineer, is that folks far too often give a producer credit - good and bad - for an engineer's work. My r...

inglis & chris: Without question All Things Must Pass is one of Harrison’s best albums, and inglis, I do mean “albums’. I, too, own all of Harrison’s works on LP, and find they sound far better than the CD’s (I have all of his CD’s, too). In my opinion, the Harrison albums on Apple/Capital are ...

The only Harrison albums I don't have are "Dark Horse" (I thought he sounded awful, much rougher than usual,) "Gone Troppo" and "Brainwashed" but I will probably rectify the last one. New question, "Cloud 9" - too much Jeff Lynne? Overall I like the album, es...

Glad you are safe Lynn .I am away for a lttle holiday today .We have a long weekend here .I will be back to catch up .Its been alot of fun this class.I think for the first time I like school haaaa.Have a good weekend everyone,Carol

Big tower of CD’s to shelve: Warren Zevon -- Excitable Boy (Warren, miss your humor, man) Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers -- Damn the Torpedoes (Not a bad song in the lot) Roy Orbison -- The Essential Orbison (one of the most amazing singers. “Do the ooby dooby”) The Alan Parsons Project -- Eye in ...

I have been reading all the different comments and they are all so good .We all have our different reasons for liking a certain type of film or not.I have found that if it reaches me somewhere down deep and makes me think alot afterwards I am sold.I am not that great at expressing the finer technica...

Inglis, " The Marrying Kind " (1952) was a real surprise for me when I watched it and it demonstrated to me Judy's huge talent as dramatic actress as well. I think that I haven't yet watched a film of hers I haven't totally enjoyed. She was magnificent. Hi Feaito .I agree about Judy Holli...

I just watched last night for the first time The Marrying Kind .Judy Holliday was great and I had not seen before any of Aldo Ray's past work . The life they had and the loss of their child was deeply moving .They had their ups and downs and just when it seemed they had given up they found that stre...

I am reading this Bob Dylan book but its not going all that well .I have three going at the same time. The Mortician's Daughter by Elizabeth Bloom and The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards. I am not able to keep focused enough for any of them .I am very much interested to read Lee Server's boo...

Judith: The thing about the flip flops bugs me too as it has creeped into the church culture. Casual is one thing but for my own personal taste that is a bit too far. I gave up wearing ties and coats but I'm just old fashined enough that I don't think people should not wear shorts and flip flops to...

Hi Lynn, I'm far from an expert on John Ford's films, but of those that I've seen, I think I've enjoyed " The Quiet Man " the most. Maybe because John Wayne gives such an understated performance, so out of character with what we've come to expect from him (rough and ready, raw around the ...

Lurker here... (You may send me back to the shadows) I haven't seen Iron Horse either, but from previous discussions, and from the films of his I have seen, I think he had a passion for the land. The sand and dust of Monument Valley, the green of Ireland, all played an important role in The Searche...

There are no wrong answers in this class so don't worry. I very much liked your comments and hope you will stay with us!

Thanks Lynn .I appreciate that.

Oh Lynn ! I don't have the gift of words like you do but I am going to answer the theme part of this. I know is John Ford had a real flair for music and story telling in his movies.It seemed at times you could not have the acting and just have the music. I have not seen The Iron Horse so I cannot gi...

I love her in The Trouble With Angels .She played the part of the Mother Superior.Her dealings with the two students played by Hayley Mills and June Harding are just hilarious.Mary Wickes deserves a mention as the studious gym teacher.
