I bought this book specifically because at one time he was a close friend of Errol Flynn and I wanted to read first hand of someone who actually hanged out with Flynn. I enjoyed his reminisces of both when he knew Flynn in his prime and the last time he saw him when he was at the lowest point of his life. I enjoyed reading HIS true feelings about Flynn.

This is the most entertaining and enjoyable autobiog I have read since David Niven's Moons a Balloon. It was very hard to stop reading to do other things. Highly recommended.

I gave my first copy to a freind and so I ordered another for myself as it's been a while since I read it.  Love the book on the second reading too!  Great stories, good entertainment and wonderful life lessons.  I enjoyed the illustrations and the format.  I especially like the short stories so I can read a little or a lot at one sitting.  Though I didn't grow up in Brilliant, it's so interesting learning about that area.  So glad Dot Dickinson took the time to share these stories with us and future generations. I've shared some stories with my adult sons and they really enjoyed them too!  Highly recommended!

My first exposure to Tolkien was my mother reading The Hobbit to me and my sister.  I have since read everything I could get my hands on of his, so when I found this cd on amazon I was psyched!  I threw the disc into my laptop as soon as it arrived and fired up iTunes, and I was not disappointed.  It brings a real connection to the man to hear his voice.  I specialize in studying diction and paralanguage, and it really adds another layer for the true geek to hear how Tolkien adds emphasis, de-emphasis, pauses, and phrasing to the beloved tales.  It really enhanced the experience to me and increased my understanding of how he constructed his worlds, languages, and characters.

I recently saw Leonard Nimoy and John De Lancie perform live Spock VS. Q and the sequel on Saturday night Jan 5 at a Slanted Fedora convention in the Meadowlands, NJ.
  Spock meets Q and Q meets Spock for the first time.  I love the dialogue and the outwittings between Spock and Q, Unfortunately Leonard Nimoy may not be Spock ever again.  So this cd collection just may be Leonard's last works as Spock.
Leonard Nimoy and John De Lancie bring the characters to life!

  This is a great collection for any Star Trek Fan!

  Live Long And Prosper!

Reading this book brings back a lot of nice memories. David Simons book is entertaining, well written, and you can tell he loves the analog format. He reviews and recommends a lot of "real analog equipment" that you can integrate into a home recording studio setup quite easily. Digital and plug-ins are great, but adding a few vintage or new items from the analog equipment universe can really do alot to give your recordings some added warmth, uniqueness, and sparkle. There is some great information, useful tips, advice on finding bargains, and the included interviews are fantastic. There is a bonus CD with some audio samples as well. If you are interested in home recording, building a studio, or just learning more about analog, this is a fine book.

Looking back on it now, I guess I was pretty lucky. I began my serious "analog recording" using a Tascam 4 track recorder with 1/4" tape. Just a few years later I had a massive, built like a tank, Otari 8 track with heavy 10.5" metal reels of thick tape to work with. I also recorded with Neumann U87Ai mics, a large mixing console, a rack of expensive effects processors, and some other neat toys.

I worked in radio from the mid-seventies to the mid-nineties, it was alot of fun to be a DJ and Producer back then. One of the perks of the job was to have the worlds best quality broadcast and recording equipment at your disposal. When I wasn't doing a radio show, I was often in the recording studio, producing and doing voice overs for commercials, or maybe just fooling around. That's how I learned a little bit about multi-track recording, it was mostly analog in those days, although digital was on the horizon. The way we record now has changed a lot. In the past 20 years, there have been several advancements and a wide array of inexpensive quality equipment is now available. What we can do today at home was unthinkable back then. The home recording studio has advanced from the "demo" quality it once was, to professional calibre. High resolution audio, CD quality or even better, is now possible from your very own bedroom or basement studio...that's amazing!

When I decided to put together a small home studio a few years ago, I scoured the popular auction sites and was able to find some nice inexpensive analog and digital gear to get started. My past experience had been with analog so I wanted to definitely incorporate it into my home setup. If I had owned this book back then it would have been very helpful and saved me a lot of time. "Analog Recording" can point you in the right direction.

Upon receiving this book,I was not prepared for such a thoroughly enjoyable and thought provoking collection of memories and amazing stories! Dr Norton (Doctor Sahib) gives us a glimpse into what life was like for him and his family as they served as  medical missionarys in the 60's. I laughed and cried as the author so eloquently described the many hardships,trials, triumphs and sometimes humorous situations they encountered in this foreign land they came to love as home. Wonderful insight into what true humility and service is-glad to have gotten this book!

My fond memories of hearing this music as a child were happily relived when I received the book and music CD.  While the Narrator is different from the original recording we listed to via an album, I'm very happy with the narration and most definitely the beautiful music well recorded onto the CD.  Thinking of purchasing for siblings who share this memory.

I had the pleasure of seeing David Gilmour in concert in Chicago last year, and watching this brought back pleasing memories.  David is spot-on with his guitar and his voice hasn't sounded better in years.  The production of this DVD is outstanding and the sound quality is stellar.  I especially enjoyed some of the more obscure stuff, like Fat Old Sun and Wot's Uh The Deal.  And David Bowie joining Gilmour on stage for a couple of numbers was awesome.  I have been a Gilmour junkie since the early 80's and this just adds to his legendary status among the rock gods.  Buy it and enjoy it on the biggest screen you can get your hands on, and you won't be disappointed.

I recently reread the original copies that somehow moved off my Dad's bookshelves and into mine decades ago. I sent this book to Dad for his 96th birthday and he was so overjoyed! i do not remember having such a hit with him, like ever.

After having the original album of "Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" out of print for such a long time, I was so happy to see this wonderful collection put together by the late Grover Washington.  Slaughter on 10th. Avenue is also included from the "Woolf" sessions.  The entire "Woolf" CD is now available; but at import prices.  I love this CD.  Essential listening!

I just finished reading Together in the Dream by RJ and Suzanne Ogren.  I've always enjoyed fond memories of Walt Disney World, having visited there twice as a child.  This book revived and enhanced the intrigue surrounding Walt Disney World, and as I'd finish one chapter, I looked forward to reading the next to learn more about what went on behind the scenes!  I can't wait to read the other books the Ogrens have written: Remembering the Magic, Ribbons, and The Design of Fear.  I'm sure I won't be disappointed!

This diary brought back memories of the high points of the series and I found myself going back to relive the original passages. The short stories are true gems based upon the characters in the series. Anyone who adored the series will love this nice addition to their collection. I imagine that anyone owning this will love it. The diary references each thought and that helps to hunt up the original passages. I highly recommend this addition to a "Seeds from Heaven" collection.

I have been reading and enjoying Tolkien since I was a boy, and that was a Very long time ago. I am quite taken with this beautiful Kindle edition, and happily recommend it. Reading aloud is one of our family's great joys, and the clarity (I might say brilliance) of the typeset makes it fun, especially for older eyes. Enjoy this beautiful book, and share it with the kids and grand kids. Send them fond memories, fifty years hence, of snuggling up with you in the glow of the reader, and in the glow of this great story.

This is an excellent live show. It's classic music from the past and present that is truly unforgettable .
The show is magical, especially the version of echoes . The rendition was fantastic!  This version of echoes prompted
Me to get the blueray edition. Truly memorable! Seeing Graham Nash and David Crosby backing up David was
classic.
A must have for Floyd fans!
