The Roswell Crash: Startling New Evidence1 review
Bryant Gumbel

Hanover House, 2003

Update on Roswell

Bryant Gumbel hosts this documentary on the latest findings on Roswell. Lost of eyewitness accounts, some for the first time tell there stories of events. Nothing too new here except for a handful of archeologist hired by the sci-fi channel to dig the crash site(Brazel ranch) for any debris that ...

+ A Wonderful Read

I picked up this book for $5 at Borders, mainly because I enjoy listening to Cokie Roberts on NPR. I was curious to get to know her a little better. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. She and Steve take turns writing, as if they're dialoguing back and forth. I appreciated their commitment to their ...

The Legends of New Orleans: Fats Domino Live!1 review
Fats Domino

Shout Factory, 2003

Fats just gets better

I was delighted how good Fats and his excellent band sound on this live release from 2001. Fats is around 70 years old here but you would never know it. He seems to have aged like a fine wine, his sound is crisp and tight, he just gets better. This is an 5 star recording and a must for a Fats ...

Geoffrey Beene: The Anatomy of His Work2 reviews
Brenda Cullerton

Harry N Abrams, 1995

Great photos, but not much biography on Mr. Beene...

As this is one of the few books available on the artistry of Geoffrey Beene, it is both a welcome addition to the world of fashion-photography books and sadly, a very weak treatment of the how-and-why of his work. The photos are oversized and some are gate-folded, but there are not nearly enough to ...

Every Man A King: The Autobiography Of Huey P. Long3 reviews
Huey P. Long

Da Capo Press, 1996

Let History Decide

+ It was pretty good

This fascinating piece of work 'written' by Huey P. Long during the height of his reign was intended to promote his 'legend and legacy', toward the goal of becoming President of the United States in 1936. However, it is best understood from the perspective of modern times. Huey P. Long has forever ...

Gottschalk: Piano Music2 reviews
Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Philip Martin

Hyperion UK, 1993

An American composer who is not so well-known

Frédéric Chopin predicted that Gottschalk would become one of the foremost pianists of that century. His virtuosity can be seen in the compositions on this album--The Banjo is an uncanny re-creation of the sound of American banjo folk tunes. These pieces are grand, florid, and are designed to show ...
