Issaquah Burgermaster Opens

We had dinner last night at the new Burgermaster.  It used to be the Triple X in Issaquah.

It was the second day, I believe, since its opening, but the food and service were great.

Jack Nicholson Sings?

A memory of my senior year of high school.  Not necessarily, a high school thing, but that was the year the movie was released. 

Tommy, one of the first, if not the first Rock opera's had already played on stage, by the Who.  A movie version with Ann-Margaret, Oliver Reed, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, Jack Nicholson, and Who members Roger Daltry and Keith Moon got  mixed reviews from fans of the band.

Jack Nicholson had this memorable singing solo in the production.

Voice In The Valley Music School

So, just for fun, I've been taking singing lessons from this school down the street (so to speak) from us.  It's been well over a year, but this was just made, say a week ago. Enjoy!

Racing Star Kyle Busch Dead At 41

 

For a race car driver to lose his or her life in the prime of his or her career is a thing that happens all too often.  Kyle Busch, however, did not die in a high-speed crash, but in the hospital where he was rushed earlier in the day.  The cause of death was reported as an undisclosed illness.  He was only 41.

Although, I do not follow auto sports, Busch's name transcended the car world.  He was a two time NASCAR Cup Series Champion.
