Greatly Unfinished

Wow. Wow! WOW!! Went to see the Port Angeles Symphony last night. I of course was impressed. Adam Stern is a marvelous conductor. These were great selections from last night.

First was presented an Overture of Hebrew Themes. Great piece, really good. The second piece really caught my mind. This is a song I haven't heard. Schubert's Unfinished symphony. Wow, I enjoyed both movements, however, the bass line in the first movement was really cool. I have it stuck in my head. I love the strings sixteenth note pattern. Really good. I thought the Symphony performed it really well. Good work.

The second half though had Alexander Tutunov, a Russian pianist as the soloist. Wow, this guy was AMAZING! He played really well and it really added to the piece. What a joy to watch. Of course we were treated to 2 encores at the end of the concert. Wow I wish I could even dream about being that good. Really a great night.

Remembering a Legend - Geoff Edwards

Didn't I just do one of these? Unfortunately I did, and I'm doing it again. Shortly after the passing of Jim Lange, I read that Game Show Great Geoff Edwards passed away yesterday after complications of pneumonia at the age of 83.

As a game show fan, this is a really sad week. I remember when Richard Dawson died just a few weeks after Dick Clark. This is even more difficult, week by week is simply sad.

Geoff was one of my favorite hosts. He could handle each and every game well. He had a great sense of humor with each show, and was geniunley nice with each contestant. He knew each game, how to play it, and well.... he was just amazing. He had several fun moments, whether humorous, or just big money wins. I especially liked the work he did on Treasure Hunt presenting the prizes (or the klunks). He is very underrated in my opinion. He's done shows such as Jackpot!, Treasure Hunt, Play the Percentages, The Big Spin, and Chain Reaction.

 Although I dind't care for the 1986-1991 version of Chain Reaction, the only good thing about it was Geoff. It was very cheap, low-budget, and could be dull, but Geoff was the only good part. He did sub for Bill Cullen in 1980 while Bill was on Password Plus. 

R.I.P. Geoff. We'll miss you

Predict That Future

Well, the month of March is upon us. And soon, April will be here. With GSN's track record over the past few years, they usually make changes, whether it be adding adding new shows, or switching episodes, they do stuff. So, why not make predictions just for fun?

Here are mine with each show. Keep note these are only my predictions.

• Match Game - Will keep the same 1975-1977 episodes. 

• Blockbusters - Will end up leaving. My guess it will be replaced with Jim Perry's Card Sharks with the last set of 1981 shows.
• Press Your Luck - Will get a different set of episodes. My guess, more 1984 shows.

• $ale of the Century - Will get a different set of Syndie shows, from where they left off

• Super Password - Will get a different set of episodes, from where they left off.
• Password Plus - Will get a different set, somewhere from the Ludden run.

Well, these are my predictions. What are yours?
