Gin and Movies
Gin has a role in some great movies:
(1) It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)
Peter Bailey: No gin tonight, son!
Harry Bailey: Aw, pop! Just a little?
Peter: No, son, not one drop.
Harry: Aw!
Annie: Boys and girls and music. Why do they need gin?
(2) Casablanca (1942)
Rick: Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.
More to come…
Things I Learned This Week
Among the things I learned this week:
* Little J.B., a singer who I love from and tried to find more of based on his performance from Super Bad @ 65: A Tribute To James Brown, is Lee Fields (whom I have a few albums). (Courtesy: The New Yorker)
* Stops don’t make sense with country-wide ETFs for anything but day trading because of what it would take for a major price change. (Courtesy: YM)
* The Apollo is a lot smaller than I expected, and seventeen year olds can rock the house. (Courtesy: Wycliffe Gordon’s Jazz A La Carte)
* There is another type of gin, and it is fantastic. (Courtesy: ZS, JSK, and NYC)
* Not enough parents teach their children, some of whom are grown, how to enjoy a meal. (YM’s A and MS’ N)
* Myrna Loy modeled for Gil Elvgren. (Courtesy: Martignette and Meisel)
