Webmaster's Notes: I am working on two Reflection pages (go to the Theatre X-net and SEE what I mean) -- the first is about Michael (Kidd Funkadelic) Hampton -- fabulous lead guitarist for the P-Funk All-Stars. He has always been outgoing and friendly towards me. I'll write about "Putting on the ONE" -- meaning an oversized jersey I bought at their Missoula concert in 1998. He was wearing a white version, and I was wearing a black version when we met after that gig. We both wore them backwards so the letters P-FUNK 1 showed at the front. "Nice shirt!" he said.
A few months later, during the NBA playoffs, that black P-FUNK 1 jersey did all the talking when the doorman at the Zephyr Club in Salt Lake City escorted me right through the door and I heard Lisa Rogers' beautiful voice for the first time! (See pictures below) That means I'll be making a second Reflections page.

Media Watch: I had to fix a computer last night, and missed all but a few minutes of the Grammy Awards. Tonight it's Dancing with the Stars -- Drew & Cheryl and Tina Sparkle are the two best couples by far. We'll see if it's "Hammy," "Lips," or Jerry Rice who goes home this week. Tia Carrera was eliminated last Friday, and Barry Manilow's music was awful -- he forgot the words to his own songs repeatedly, but vocalized Unchained Melody without any lapses in memory. Unfortunately, his singing voice has no timbre, it's barely in tune, and is incapable of nuances. Yechhh!
