SO many times before IMDb, an obscure actor or show episode would pass by so quickly and there was just no way to really follow up. But this is no longer with the astonishing amount of information about movies and television that is stored at this site. The site started long before web browsing with a group of scripts that allowed a news group user to search "rec.arts.movies". Follow this link to read a history of the site written by founder Col Needham.

Perahia is one of the most accomplished pianists in the world today. Appearing as the leadoff of the Symphony season's Great Performers series, Perahia had set out a very ambitious program encompassing over 120 crucial years of piano music, starting with Johann Sebastian Bach, moving to late Beethoven and finishing with Robert Schumann and Frederic Chopin.

You will find many of dOc reviewers represented on RT. Click here for a funny article that presents "a veritable cornucopia of dull, foolhardy, and outright terrible films." The list contains the worst reviewed movies of the last ten years. I hate to admit how many of these worst movies that I have seen. Bet you have more than a few too.

. I have always enjoyed that version with Ian Gillian and Murray Head more than the 
. One of the highlights of a trip I made to London back in 1977 was seeing a big-time production of Superstar. Recently, I had an occasion to download the older Broadway cast version as MP3s from a download promotion. I put it on my iPhone and have enjoyed listening to it, but the other day I had a thought of using iTunes to expand it out a bit. Using the playlist of the cast recording, I added various songs that I hoped would add amplification, commentary, irony or complement the story line. All the songs came from my iTunes library and, ultimately, I wanted to create a listenable playlist.
