Petula Clark had a fun and breezy chat with English singer/showman Michael Ball on his Sunday Brunch Show last week.

Eric says we’ve depleted his selections of superior Anime, but we’ll be looking through some other titles to see what might be worthy. This one is an oldie we watched before I started blogging. Grave of the Fireflies is from 1988, and it’s one of the most tragic and heart-wrenching movies I’ve ever seen. A teenage boy does everything he can to keep himself and his baby sister alive in Japan during World War II.

Ringo Video
There’s a fun video on Ringo Starr’s site, introducing this year’s All Starr Band line-up. Unfortunately, it’s in the sometimes troublesome Quicktime format, so good luck playing it. Ringo puts on such a good show that I think from now on as long as he continues making appearances in Boston I’ll go see him.
A Capitol Idea
The recording studios in the famous Capitol Records building in Los Angeles are being threatened by construction noise from a proposed condo complex next door. A city council committee is recommending restrictions on the construction project.
Ringone
Ringo and His All Starr Band put on a super show tonight, at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston! Nearly two and a half hours. I’m tired, and I have an early meeting, so I’d better hit the sack.
Going to Ringo
This is where Dennis, Eric and myself will be this time tomorrow!
