ZIPPY. Incidentally. that picture of mine is actually Rick Reuschel - ex-pitcher for the Chicago Cubs, NY Yankess, and any other team that would have tolerated his lob across home plate. It is a reminder to me that in an era where mediocrity is successful, anything is possible for the self-motivated and somewhat capable individual.


IIRC, Reuschel's best year was 1989, when he was the ace of the San Francisco Giants team that got drubbed in the World Series in four consecutive games by the Oakland Athletics. The "Earthquake Series."


I still can't get over that lazy lob over the plate of his. But with respect to the Food Network show, I'll have to pat attention more carefully.

They recently did a "Diners" episode where our local diner (Tick-Tick in Clifton) was featured quite prominently. We go there every week, but I didn't know that there was this nice British guy as the executive chef! No wonder why the food is always so good. It's a far cry from years ago when it was just a breakfast joint.

Anyway, I wish that I would have known Jerry frequented a hot dog place. Aqnzaldiman and I could have brought hom some deep fried hot dogs from RUTT'S HUTT, or even all the way dogs from THE HOT GRILL.

Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives came to Dania, and visited Grampa's Bakery. It's right near Jaxson's. I go plenty to the latter, but haven't been to the former.

When I saw that pic of Jerry on the wall, I perked right up...and I thought only his music had that effect, not his mere visage.

I saw the episode with Grampa's Bakery - and my wife mentioned that we should go.

We were down two weeks ago for an unplanned visit. There is the Pizza place that has a couple of locations, one of which is in Coral Springs. I think it was called Michael's. It's all brick oven pizza and it came pretty close to pizza from up here, but then again I'm finding alot of pizzerias by you that are great. There's one up on University in Davie (don't remember the name, but it's logo looks like an off-shoot of Papa John's and is located next to this bar/grille called Geronimo's).

Sometimes I am just more fascinated in the great composer restaurant choices than some of their scores.

Certainly, I would have liked to know what Italian restaurants Henry Mancini, Bill Conti, or Alan Silvestri considered to be good.

On the home front, I wonder if Randy Edelman ever went to Falls View, Johnny & Hanges, or The Corral, seeings as though we were supposedly born in the same place.

The name eludes me, but there's a brick oven pizzeria on US-1 and Marina Mile Road--Anthony's? Anyway, the wife wants to go and I reckon we will.

Next time you're down, send me an email (addy in profile), perhaps lunch or dinner with the wives; I'd like to meet an honest-to-goodness live FSMer!

Does this thread break a record for the oldest ever to keep on being resurrected?

If so, fair play.

It's among the greatest threads ever written (composed?), and it was bumped with its original question being answered.

Still my favorite post header of all time. Just trying to unseat Intrada's release of THE JOURNEY OF NATTY GANN as the top post for a few seconds.

Revisiting this post as I'm fixing ribs, greens and rice.

And I think JG liked some Bloomin' Onion.

No barbie in the backyard. He liked Thai. Deli sandwiches. But not together in a blender.

Do I remember correctly that it's John Williams who's the fine wine collector?

Last night on NPR's classical radio program "Performance Today", the host mentioned that Lionel Newman's nickname for Jerry Goldsmith was "Gorgeous", because of all the chicks Jerry had around him. I'm sure they had many a dinner at L.A.'s finest steakhouses. The host went on to say that Goldsmith himself told that story, so it must have amused him.

Newman's nickname for John Williams was "Little Tiomkin." Didn't know that...though I'm sure it's common knowledge around here.

That's a new one on me, Jim. Not sure how apocryphal it is, but I read somewhere that the young Mr. Williams was also known as 'Curly', meant affectionately I'm sure...

Well, in the LP liner notes to CE3K (I think), Spielberg mentions Williams taught him about good German wine (who'd have thought?) and Spielberg taught him to eat junk food.

Really? And I thought it was because of Jerry's long hair, since Newman would put a plate of water on the conductor's podium so he could look at himself. He also referred to (though not intentionally) Dominic Frontiere as Dominic Front Tire, and Elmer Bernstein as that "other Bernstein"!

Ha! Either that Lionel Newman was an embittered soul or one of the most subversively funny men who ever graced a scoring stage!
