You'll find the National Auto Museum at the corner of Lake and Mill Streets in downtown Reno. Parking is available on the east side of the building, but there are entrances both east and west. The Truckee River runs along the north side of the Museum, making the setting exceptionally attractive. Open daily (except for Thanksgiving and Christmas), the Museum lacks a restaurant but there are several nearby, and the gift shop does have a freezer stocked with ice cream bars. Audio and guided tours are available. Call 775/333­9300 or check the website, www.automuseum.org, for additional information. The concept for The Discovery – Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum was originally as a hands­on science cen­ ter for children; The Discovery has now expanded its focus for the entire population, regardless of age. Located in a building that formerly housed the Reno City Hall, the 67,000 square foot space has been transformed into a light, bright , two­level exploratorium. You'll enter on Center Street, just next to a convenient bus stop. To the right of the lobby there's a gift shop that qualifies as a kiddies' paradise. To the left, there's a large area set aside for dining; however food and drink are not allowed in the museum's galleries, so it's bring your own and consume in this dedicated location. Moving on, there's a large gallery devoted to the State of Nevada. Circling an open atrium are a number of inter­ active rooms where children and/or adults can do every­ thing from build an arch from large, soft blocks, to create a work of art, or experience one of Leonardo Da Vinci's inven­ tions. Down a long flight of stairs (or by the elevator) you can access the crazy Cloud Climber, difficult to describe, but a must for any adventuresome child. Nearby is the Under the Stars exhibit. The atmosphere in this wonder­filled Museum is exciting and enthusiastic. With the purpose of “inspiring curiosity, creativity and the joy of lifelong learning”, The Discovery is sure to brighten one's outlook.

Mondays). Admission is discounted on Wednesdays after 4 Our third museum is my personal favorite, the Nevada Museum of Art. Housed in a unique building, an abstract homage to Nevada's Black Rock Desert, NMA is a treasure trove for art in its many forms. Exhibits tend to change quar­ terly and they range from small to major, from works by local artists to creators of international repute. The Museum supports the popular E.L. Cord school with classes from bas­ ket making to book arts, drawing, photography, ceramics and more offered throughout the year. The Museum's audi­ torium hosts a series of lectures coordinated with exhibits. Unique gifts for all ages are available in the gift shop, while guided tours are available three times a week. Dining in the Museum's handsome atrium is provided by Chez Louie for lunch and a musical Sunday brunch. Relatively new to NMA is its Center for Art & Environment Library, available on open days from 11 a.m. ­ 2 p.m. The Nevada Museum of Art is located at 160 West Liberty Street in Reno, with parking on the east side of the building. Open days are Wednesday through Sunday. The Museum is open late on the First Thursday of each month with live music and cocktails. For more information call 775/329­3333 or check the website at www.nevadaart.org. All three Museums can provide hours of education and entertainment. They are perfect for giving out­of­town guests an unexpected experience. Museum memberships are well worth the investment.

    ECHO: a music-centered journal www.echo.ucla.edu Volume 5 Issue 1 (Spring 2003) It May Look Like a Living Room…: The Musical Number and the Sitcom By Robin Stilwell Georgetown University 1. They are images firmly established in the common television consciousness of most Americans: Lucy and Ethel stuffing chocolates in their mouths and clothing as they fall hopelessly behind at a confectionary conveyor belt, a sunburned Lucy trying to model a tweed suit, Lucy getting soused on Vitameatavegemin on live television—classic slapstick moments. But what was I Love Lucy about? It was about Lucy trying to “get in the show,” meaning her husband’s nightclub act in the first instance, and, in a pinch, anything else even remotely resembling show business. In The Dick Van Dyke Show, Rob Petrie is also in show business, and though his wife, Laura, shows no real desire to “get in the show,” Mary Tyler Moore is given ample opportunity to display her not-insignificant talent for singing and dancing—as are the other cast members—usually in the Petries’ living room. The idealized family home is transformed into, or rather revealed to be, a space of display and performance. 2. These shows, two of the most enduring situation comedies (“sitcoms”) in American television history, feature musical numbers in many episodes. The musical number in television situation comedy is a perhaps surprisingly prevalent phenomenon. In her introduction to genre studies, Jane Feuer uses the example of Indians in Westerns as the sort of surface element that might belong to a genre, even though not every example of the genre might exhibit that element: not every Western has Indians, but Indians are still paradigmatic of the genre (Feuer, “Genre Study” 139).

There is a huge quantity of information about Clint Eastwood his life and career on numerous websites, books etc. We focus mainly on his connection to The Everly Brothers and in particular to Phil Everly plus brief overview of his career. American film actor, director, producer, composer and politician. Eastwood first came to prominence as a supporting cast member in the TV series Rawhide (1959–1965). He rose to fame for playing the Man with No Name in Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy of spaghetti westerns (A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) during the 1960s, and as San Francisco Police Department Inspector Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry films (Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, The Enforcer, Sudden Impact and The Dead Pool) during the 1970s and 1980s. These roles, along with several others in which he plays tough-talking no-nonsense police officers, have made him an enduring cultural icon of masculinity. Eastwood won Academy Awards for Best Director and Producer of the Best Picture, as well as receiving nominations for Best Actor, for his work in the films Unforgiven (1992) and Million Dollar Baby (2004). These films in particular, as well as others including Play Misty for Me (1971), The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976), Pale Rider (1985), In the Line of Fire (1993), The Bridges of Madison County (1995) and Gran Torino (2008), have all received commercial success and critical acclaim.

He listens and advises and is not afraid to let out his inner-cheerleader to encourage his overworked and underpaid graduate students. He is an excellent professor and mentor.

  • September 12, 2011 Remembering THEN
    Along the Way - A salute to NOW and THEN September 12, 2011 Remembering THEN by Scott "Scotto" Savitt with Dana Cordero The only way to set the scene for what happened THEN is to start with background about what led to the Monkees recording "That Was Then, This Is Now," the title song from the Mosquitos 1985 EP. The Mosquitos were one of the most sought after bands in the coolest retro "back to the 60s" New York club scene at the time. They shared bills with bands like the Fuzztones, the Vipers, The Cheepskates and The Secret Service, did tours upstate and even opened for the Ramones. The band was on fire in 1985. Thanks to Jeff Tamarkin, former editor of Goldmine magazine and executive producer of the compilation tape "Garage Sale," the Mosquitos gained media attention when the tape, released in connection with Goldmine magazine, included Vance's song, "Darn Well." Interest continued with the release of the Mosquitos EP. A Newsday article noted that the track “I Know A Secret” sounded like "it was inadvertently left off “Beatles ‘65” and singled out the title song as Vance's "finest song, with fresh images, and architectural sense of structure, and the kind of hook that was made to blast from car radios. " Several events were key factors in exposure for the Mosquitos and, ultimately for Vance's song. The list of 1985 Nominess for the New York Music Awards debut event in 1986 included the Mosquitos. The event, founded by Robbie Woliver, New York Times journalist and owner of the legendary Folk City venue in Greenwich Village, honors established and unsigned music artists from New York.
