More on Hybrids I was looking for something else, but Google presented this online article.... Tom Hanks and Calista Flockhart arrived at last March's Oscars in hybrids. James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt own Honda hybrids. Cameron Diaz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Rob Reiner, Meryl Streep, Marcia Gay Harden, and a host of other celebrities drive—and swear by—the hybrid Toyota Prius sedan. Seinfeld co-creator Larry David owns three Priuses, including the one he drives on his HBO comedy series, Curb Your Enthusiasm. EV Rental Car (a division or Budget) rents hybrids, including the Honda Insight, a sport coupe. Local governments from California to Texas to Maine are adding hybrids to their fleets. That's good news.... 1:15:30 PM    comment []; Rancho de las Golondrinas Great living history museum outside of Santa Fe. I have been there quite a few times.

The term may be six hundred years old, but the sentiment could not be more contemporary. In fact, terriblisma is a quite native 21st Century aesthetic. [Another World Is Here] Interesting blog. Added it to my RSS reader this morning.... 10:24:58 AM    comment []; Concert Video In October a British TV station called Artsworld showed the concert video we filmed for the Canadian BRAVO! channel in their lovely Rehearsal Hall in Toronto in 1999. They call me a jazz-classical guitarist in these notes...they can call me anything they like as long as they show the concert video.... I wish BRAVO! was selling a DVD of this concert, because it turned out quite well. The XL band had been touring for 5 or 6 weeks and we had already filmed Sessions @ West 54th for PBS when we arrived in Toronto. As a result everyone was pretty relaxed and played very well. In the US the concert has been shown on the TRIO channel, which seems to be only available on the DirectTV satellite network and from certain cable providers. 7:06:47 AM    comment [];
