        • Yes there is. NNY is very intelligent and makes great observations especially on tennis (unlike one poster who hasn’t made any).

          However, I’m referring to another Benny, Rafa’s press agent. But you probably have never heard of him.

          • NNY,
            Just to clarify, according to hawk AT 9:01 PM, he is referring to Benny known to him as benny@insidehawkhead.

    The other day my 10 year old girl asked me-“Why do some boys and men think it’s ok to say bad things about women?” The answer took some time

    Not always men either.

      • Amy,

        That was beautiful! You brought tears to my eyes. I have been listening to Prince’s music a lot since he died. That’s how I want to remember him, by what he did best.

        A true genius. We will not see anyone like him again.

      • Leopold Godowsky – Polish-American pianist:
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_Godowsky

        About his composition Passacaglia, which was introduced to me by my piano teacher in the 9th grade, because of my obsession with Rachmaninoff and Bach. She was attempting to teach me how to interpret and keep counter-melodies distinct while playing through all kinds of variations. (Not that I could manage Passacaglia!):

        “Quite a number of Godowsky’s original works were considerably difficult to perform; the Passacaglia (which consists of 44 variations, cadenza and fugue on the opening theme of Franz Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony) was declared to be unplayable even by Vladimir Horowitz, who claimed it would require six hands to perform.”

  2. a propos of nothing:
    please please will all sane americans posting and reading here get out and lobby for hillary??
    am not looking forward to nuclear armageddon if old fascist chops wins.

  3. Amy,

    I am going to be volunteering for hillary’s campaign. My only concern is Sanders going on about a contested convention. The Democratic Party has to unite to defeat Trump!

    There is no other option but to pull out all the stops to make sure that fascist Trump is not elected president!

    Go Hillary!

    • good for you nny!!
      the democrats have to unite as quickly as possible and focus on fascist donny. it’s not about idealism but pragmatism. politics isn’t just about voting for who you want but keeping bad people out.
      i would campaign for hillary if i could!
      i hope bernie will do the decent thing and rally his supporters around hillary.
