An absolutely fabulous rendition. We think this young lady has a quite a future in entertainment in front of her...

Showing just how well this tune responds to just a piano, bass, and drums in a sensitive jazz arrangement.

Hey, it's the only government agency that actually listens.

Just wanted to say “hi” to all of the folks who got to work the overnight shift down at the shop tonight.

Back when a two-minute pop song based on a simple riff could be a hit.

It's an Aston-Martin DB2/4 Spyder, with body by Bertone, from 1953. The general shape and proportions remind us very much of the Arnolt-Bristol, also from this time frame and also designed by Bertone.

An excellent recommendation, at that. We've always got time for Nancy Wilson.

Nancy Wilson - Guess Who I Saw Today (1960)

A good friend recommended this tune to me. Described as "a sophisticated masterpiece of old-fashioned glamour and purring danger."

A fascinating "Then + Now" of the filming locations for the iconic 1968 film "Bullitt" .

Interesting how the LEO was able to just grab the cub by the scruff of the neck, with only tactical gloves and quick reflexes to keep him from harm.

A cub who was retrieved from up a utility pole.  Hopefully, he made bail and is now pulling down double shifts at a Starbucks.

How to out-fin Generous Motors, who were formerly secure in their belief that they were the styling leaders of Detroit. Display anything from the 1957 Chrysler corporate line next to the 1957 GM offerings and realize that GM got caught short. Not to worry, though. They certainly did their best to make up for it with their 1959 line.

This isn't done with Photoshop, it's a real period ad from the 1970 model year.

Technically, it's an Imperial, and not a Chrysler Imperial, as Chrysler had registered Imperial as a separate and distinct make several years earlier. We think those wire wheels are an aftermarket addition, and they certainly do add a goodly measure of class to this droptop.
