If you’re of a certain age, the following may tweak a memory for you... “Standing in the rain, with his head hung lowCouldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show...” I didn’t say Foreigner, circa 1981, would necessarily elicit a good memory, but I do know some folks who hold their 80s mix … Continue reading WEXT – Jukebox Heroes!

Bread. Alone.
When I carried a two pound loaf of Genovese style pannetone and a dozen bagels in a bag topped with a single bialy around the city, I knew I had to acknowledge how much I sincerely love bread.

But first, I needed to see the 1976 version with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. Hello, Friday night and Amazon Prime. I was 10 when that version was released and … Continue reading A Star is Born – in two takes
