One Off raced again

One Off raced again. The pdf link says all I know about today's Grade II race. One Off didn't win, but it was close. Perhaps too close.

Steveo

Possibly due to a misunderstanding a while back, SteveO and Keith didn't get along well... I do hope it was a misundestanding -- however sad misunderstandings certainly are --, for I always had the best impression of both. Unfortunately, early impressions do tend to color the interpretation of later...

I totally agree with Steve re the BB-BJ version of Long Ago Tomorrow. Very special. And I'd say that Burt's attention to detail (and the fact that it is HIS attention) is probably what keeps his works fresh to me. I know I'll never grasp everything, but he keeps my ears pricked. My admiration is unb...

I posted a minute ago, sorry.

I thought I'd add that I think the 2000 Academy Awards Suite is just great. And it fits the occasion so well! Maybe a year from now I'll wish to place it in my top five. The same goes for some of the works in At this Time.

Thanks Keith!

I wasn't able to watch the show (even through the internet) from where I am, so I just hope ISALP is in it. Here you can listen to the first 2 min. It also says "We are producing a music video of the song to memorialize this event, which will include celebrities, politicians (bi-partisan), danc...
