h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Zarquon,

in return I'm visiting you now.

As I see, we have some things in common:
first of all - jazz. Of course, I know Al Di Meola; I saw him many times in concerts. I love his famous 'Friday night at San Francisco' with Paco De Lucia and John McLaughlin. Do you know his CD 'Di Meola plays Piazzolla'? Great stuff: Argentinian tango's. Mhmmm...
You said you love jazz guitarists - how about Mike Stern? I'm always able to recognize his sound, you know. I met him in Warsaw, he is a very nice person.

Then - Doris Day films: I love those 50s movies. My friends are laughing at (on? hmm, sometimes English is difficult for me, sorry for the mistakes) me. Methinks, she had a marvellous voice, but she did much to less jazz singing in my opinion.

Hi Kasia!!

Thanks for dropping by.

I haven't heard "Di Meola Plays Piazzolla" but I will certainly see if it is available here. I have been listening to him since his very first album (before CD!!) and last year Sony Music released a CD called "The Collection" which includes a lot of the best stuff from his earlier albums - it's great listening.

Mike Stern ... sorry I must have missed out somewhere ... to be honest I haven't heard of him (if you can convert CD to MP3 you could maybe e-mail be a short sample?)

Doris Day films are great aren't they? I prefer the comedies with Rock Hudson and James Garner - I have them on video and watch them all the time!!

Now then, please do not apologise for your English - you actually make me feel very guilty - as a child I could speak perfect Polish but now I only remember a few words - it is probably because my father died over 15 years ago and without any other family here there's not really anyone in my life speaking the language. But I do still carry on certain Polish traditions - especially when it comes to eating and drinking!!

I still enjoy Wisnowka (home made) - I will travel great distances here to find Krakus Gherkins and Kabanos!!

And on Sunday it will be my first day this year for mushroom picking in the forests!!

Well I've been chatting away for far too long .... oh, by the way - what do you do for work? Are you using your language talents?

hi kasia

thanks for your reply

i will have a look at the mike stern site sometime

now then .... doris day .... 'pillow talk' is my favourite as well, with 'send me no flowers' a close second place

but you mentioned the one with jack lemmon (about a lobster farm) ... well this is the one I haven't seen and can not find here in the UK and it has never been on the TV - do you have a copy? what is the title?

next ... do you have a mp3 media player on your PC? winamp?

must go now, lots to do ... I must get ready for my first trip to the forest tomorrow for mushrooms!!!

take care
