+ Several weeks ago I came across a new weekly syndicated radio show that fit my tastes perfectly – “Radio Deluxe”.
Every weekend NJ’s John Pizzarelli and his wife and co-host, singer Jessica Molaskey, play music, mostly “American popular standards”, and entertain guests in their "deluxe living room." It is very similar to the week-end WNYC-FM shows of John’s good friend Jonathan Schwartz. This week’s guest was Los Angeles Times jazz critic Don Heckman.
I listened to it this past Sunday at 4:00 PM eastern time online via WTRI "Vegas Radio" 1520 AM Frederick, Maryland, “the online home of the greatest music ever made, by the coolest cats to ever enter a recording studio”.

FYI, the JOHN PIZZARELLI QUARTET will perform live at Shanghai Jazz in Madison, New Jersey on Sunday, December 16, 2007.

Many, many years ago, at the beginning of my long tenure as accountant for the then Summit Art Center (later the NJ Center for Visual Arts, and now the Center for Visual Arts of NJ), the center hosted an annual Sunday jazz series. One of the offerings featured father and son Bucky and John Pizzarelli performing together. Unfortunately I was unable to hear the performance as I was working as the receptionist that particular Sunday (a position affectionately referred to as “the Bimbo”), although I did meet John when he used our inner office as a dressing room.
+ One of the news items on my mail.com “homepage” last Sunday was an excellent tribute article on the classic television drama LOU GRANT, one of the best written and acted television shows of the 1970s and 80s, which premiered on CBS 30 years ago. It was a nice change from the “who gives a damn” items on Britney’s or Lindsay’s latest FU that usually appear as entertainment news.
Thinking back on shows like LOU GRANT, television that actually provided entertainment and caused viewers to think at the same time, makes one realize just how truly despicable the steaming piles of excrement of today’s “reality” genre really are. For every reality piece of shit that appears on the network schedule we are deprived of what could be another LOU GRANT.
+ Hugh at COOL INVESTING provides a good basic introduction to 529 College Plans in “More on 529 Plans and Saving For College”. And GLG over at GINA’S TAX ARTICLES answers the important tax question in “Deductibility of 529 Plans”.
+ FYI, I will be off to Atlantic City for a year-end tax update seminar on Thursday and Friday, returning to Resorts after a long absence, so there will be no posts until I get back.
