Unpopular music opinions
Never listened Heidt band (time to make a youtube search!), but Sammy Kaye I know. And I agree with you, he had the more tense sweet music I ever listened. Not a pleasure to listen. From what I have here in LPs the only "good" record is "Daddy" - but this could have a better version that I...- martinsantos

Brilliant street photographer discovered
When we think that Kodak in 30s made more than half of its money from amateur's materials (film, photographic papers - they used to have almost 20 different types! With the constrast grades, this can be turned to a line of amost 100 papers - chemicals, acessories, darkroom equipment)... And it...- martinsantos

the decline of politesse
Exactly. All the problem is that so much people think about only "my rights/my ways" - and the other can be only a kind of enemy or something like that. Politesse would be, then, the last thing to think about...- martinsantos

the decline of politesse
About politesse... Few weeks ago, in the subway. Two mid-age (around 50 y.o.) came inside the wagon, with lots of boxes, gifts, etc (just before christmas). I gave my seat to them. The two ladies started to say, in very loud voice: "oh, this still happens! Isn't marvelous?" and so on. Long...- martinsantos

Goodman Or Shaw?
Absolutely agree with you! Shaw's sound is unique. Just perfect. As a player and as a musician. But Goodman was great too - maybe not so great as Shaw - but his orchestra is better. Specially when we compare the fisrt Shaw's orch with the BG band. Or ever the 1941 BG with Eddie Sauter with...- martinsantos

do you have many friends?
"True", "Great" friendship is something unusual. People that you really can trust in every moment, in any way. Aside my family (wife, parents, sisters, etc), I can say proudly that I have 5!! Usually we can call "friend" too those people we meet now and then, we like to seat, take a coffee...- martinsantos

The Future Of Film Making
I don't think 3D will survive for a long time... For a time it will be a novelty, as happened in 50s. But "3D" films usually are just this, the "star" is the system. Usually this kind of movie loss all the impact when showed at Tv. And it's like 3D slides. The first 30 slides are wonderful...- martinsantos

"I want to feel like a new man"
That's a very good point! Since the 60s the standards in clothes (and even about behavior) are changing... All here have some parameters, bought from 30s/40s. But they aren't, at all, any standard. Two blocks from my office there is a kind of mall (don't know the correct term) only with...- martinsantos

Vintage Style Reference in Vernacular Photographs
Isn't it the method using the "Marshall's color oil"? Their slogan was something like "bringing color prices down-to-earth. No special art skills necessary!". Lots of advertisements in 47 and 1948 magazines. A few guys were really good in this. But I saw some ultrageous results, too. And...- martinsantos
