Time Travellers from the last century

I'm glad I am not the only dinosaur on the block. The man with the best possible career as a pianist excluding Iturbi and Liberace is Sid Wright, still active and starring in "The Three Pianists" concert. He is 89 and not a household name but worked in London solidly and simultaneously on radio, TV and in clubs for half a century.

I have just reconnected with my favourite entertainer of the 70s, Adam Timoon. Here he is playing MalagueƱa just a few weeks ago. He use to pack Adam's Inn at the Seaway Hotel when I was working at the Barmaid's Arms, both Toronto hotspots. Click here: Adam - Malaguena

Do they think we are idiots?

Buy one DVD for $9.95 and get a second one free.

Or buy three for so much and get a fourth one free. I will absolutely never, ever, buy anything that is priced like that.

Time traveller from the last century, when you could buy one necessary nut in a hardware store for a few cents, not a packet of twelve, eleven of which are still cluttering my workspace years later.
