Will Friedwald's illuminating, opinionated essays—provocative, funny, and personal—on the lives and careers of more than three hundred singers anatomize the work of the most important jazz and popular performers of the twentieth century. From giants like Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, and Judy Garland to lesser-known artists like Jeri Southern and Joe Mooney, they have created a body of work that continues to please and inspire. Here is the most extensive biographical and critical survey of these singers ever written, as well as an essential guide to the Great American Songbook and those who shaped the way it has been sung.
The music crosses from jazz to pop and back again, from the songs of Irving Berlin and W. C. Handy through Stephen Sondheim and beyond, bringing together straightforward jazz and pop singers (Billie Holiday, Perry Como); hybrid artists who moved among genres and combined them (Peggy Lee, Mel Tormé); the leading men and women of Broadway and Hollywood (Ethel Merman, Al Jolson); yesterday's vaudeville and radio stars (Sophie Tucker, Eddie Cantor); and today's cabaret artists and hit-makers (Diana Krall, Michael Bublé). Friedwald has also written extended pieces on the most representative artists of five significant genres that lie outside the songbook: Bessie Smith (blues), Mahalia Jackson (gospel), Hank Williams (country and western), Elvis Presley (rock 'n' roll), and Bob Dylan (folk-rock).
Friedwald reconsiders the personal stories and professional successes and failures of all these artists, their songs, and their performances, appraising both the singers and their music by balancing his opinions with those of fellow musicians, listeners, and critics.
This magisterial reference book—ten years in the making—will delight and inform anyone with a passion for the iconic music of America, which continues to resonate throughout our popular culture.

Editorial Reviews
The Washington Post
The New York Times
—Benjamin Schwarz, The Atlantic
"A perfect holiday gift . . . An authoritative, comprehensive and oft-amusing guidebook that leads readers through the lives and recordings of hundreds of singers, from Louis Armstrong to Hank Williams."
—The Wall Street Journal
"Incisive and useful . . . In this mammoth volume, jazz critic Will Friedwald does for jazz and pop vocalists what David Thomson has done so brilliantly in his New Biographical Dictionary of Film. . . . The author also acts as a consumer guide, steering the reader toward particular songs or albums. . . . Vastly entertaining."
—Dennis Drabelle, The Washington Post
"In this passionately opinionated encyclopedia of the old-school virtuosos of the American songbook, music writer Friedwald celebrates 200-odd performers of jazz and pop standards, from the mid-20th-century titans to latter-day acolytes, with a raft of unjustly obscure singers in between. . . . [Friedwald] accords each a substantial career retrospective, selected discography and wonderfully pithy interpretive essay. His tastes are wide-ranging and idiosyncratic . . . However unconventional, his judgments are usually spot-on . . . Friedwald's exuberant medley is that rarest of things: music criticism that actually makes you sit up and listen."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A fun reference book to dive into, get lost in—and use to add more songs and singers to your collection. . . . When it comes to the Great American Songbook, Will Friedwald is the keeper of the flame. He's written some of the best books on popular song of the past quarter-century, from his engaging Jazz Singing to . . . his Sinatra! The Song is You [which] is one of the best studies of a singer's craft ever written. With A Biographical Guide to the Great Jazz and Pop Singers, Friedwald gave himself a daunting task: put together essays on every singer he can who made a career singing those great songs. 'Every' is a lot, but Friedwald doesn't miss too many, from the early 20th century to the cabaret singers of the post-swing revival. The essays—more than 200 in all, including pieces on multiple artists—are part biography, part career overview, focusing on the singers' highs and lows while tossing in bits of fun trivia."
—Chris Foran, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"I think Will Friedwald's Biographical Guide to the Great Jazz and Pop Singers will be of real interest to anyone who cares about the music."
—Hugh Hefner, editor-in-chief of Playboy
"If there were such a volume as the Great American Songbook, this book should be right next to it on your shelf. It is truly the definitive work on those who sing and swing those songs."
—Alan Bergman, Grammy and Academy Award–winning songwriter
"Will Friedwald has created an instant classic reference tome with his Biographical Guide to the Great Jazz and Pop Singers, the wealth of information and the breadth of knowledge being quite staggering. It is written without academic posturing but with wit and warmth and accessibility, covering in fascinating detail the careers of everyone from Jolson and Sinatra, of course, to Lee Wiley, Noel Coward and Marlene Dietrich; from Armstrong to Doris Day, and everyone in between. It will surely be considered an essential text."
—Peter Bogdanovich
"This extensive work is essential and comprehensive. In opinionated, sometimes witty essays, Friedwald sorts out the lives and careers of more than three hundred singers, some of the greatest vocalists of the twentieth century including such giants as Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, and Bessie Smith. There are also dozens of unexpected inclusions. For example, Martha Raye merits almost seven pages and her entry helps dusts off her historical reputation as not just a zany character but rather an incredibly gifted and complex artist. . . . Friedwald spent ten years researching this magisterial reference book and it is certain to delight and inform anyone with a passion for the iconic music of America."
—Larry Cox, Tucson Citizen
Stardust Melodies
"The closest thing we have to a standard text on American pop from the first half of the twentieth century . . . Friedwald is a deeply attentive and emotionally attuned listener. His descriptions of performances are so precise and detailed that Stardust Melodies could serve as a primer for how to listen to prerock music."
—The New York Times Book Review
"Excellent . . . [With] good humor and lively anecdotes, Friedwald brings an open mind to the kaleidoscope of musical stylings that these songs have been treated (or subjected) to."
—The Wall Street Journal
"Friedwald's writing, both erudite and funny, complements the standards he so clearly loves, like a melody set to the perfect lyric."
—Entertainment Weekly, "A"
"Informative and witty . . . So full of good stuff that I kept being distracted and forgetting what I was looking for."
—Chicago Tribune
Sinatra! The Song Is You
"The most important book published about Frank Sinatra to date."
—The New York Times Book Review
"Indispensable . . . A man with unexcelled knowledge of American popular song, Friedwald looks intensively at [Sinatra's] career . . . Sinatra! hits a welcome high note . . . Excellent."
—Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Blithe, respectful, snappy, and smart, Friedwald catches the creative fire of the singer . . . This is the best book ever written about Sinatra's deepest secret: his craft."

Read an Excerpt
From Rosemary Clooney (1928–2002)
Both the Westbury and the Honolulu concerts were unbelievably moving, the first one especially so. A lot of us were aware, even if we didn't want to admit it, that this was going to be a farewell appearance, and we were also on edge because this was very shortly after the tragedy of September 11, 2001. Rosemary had been ending all her concerts that fall with "God Bless America," and, as she told me afterward, she had been inviting the audience to join her for the second chorus. In New York, however, no one waited; the crowd started singing along with her from the first note. Rosemary was visibly moved, as was everyone else. She obviously was thinking about that when she got to the conclusion of the Honolulu show. If you thought her version of "Brazil" was heartbreaking, you should hear what she does with "God Bless America"; if anything, it's even more amazing in that she reminds us that Irving Berlin's number is not an institution, not an anthem, but a song, to be interpreted and sung from the heart like any other. You feel, as always, as if she's singing about something that means everything to her. It doesn't matter whether it's a country, a child, a lover, or sweet Kentucky ham.
From Bing Crosby (1903–1977)
Another later album, Songs I Wish I Had Sung (The First Time Around), was essentially Crosby's way of acknowledging that he wasn't the only male singer to create hits and standards. Longtime Decca associate Milt Gabler came up with the idea, and also that of using musical director Jack Pleis. Crosby offers "Thanks for the Memory" in recognition of the singing skills of Bob Hope and, ignoring the song's transformation into a Madison Avenue jingle, restores the bittersweet feeling Hope had projected when he introduced it in his movie debut, The Big Broadcast of 1938. In lines like "no frills, no fuss—hooray for us," Crosby shows that he fully appreciates the song's melancholy ironies. However, in retrospect the album makes it plain that Crosby introduced more great songs into the cultural bloodstream than everybody else put together.
From Vic Damone (born 1928)
In one major respect, Damone, even more than Sinatra, was a perfect singer for the early postwar period: He was part of an era; Sinatra created one. Damone was much more likely to sing Italian songs, both traditional and contemporary, than Francis Albert, and Mercury producers Berle Adams and Mitch Miller gave him quite a few: "You're Breaking My Heart," "Just Say I Love Her," "Here in My Heart," "To Love You." The late forties and fifties were the international years of pop, in which songs from all over the globe landed on American charts. . . . In the second half of the nineties Damone reentered our consciousness on a significantly higher level. After a protracted absence from New York, he was suddenly appearing regularly at Carnegie Hall (both in various all-star tribute concerts and in a solo show) and at Rainbow and Stars. He was singing extraordinarily well, and not just for a man on the cusp of seventy—smooth and clear with a voice that had deepened, perhaps, but hadn't exactly darkened. The delivery was smooth and the pitch was effortless, as proved by a package of thirty standards that he recorded in 1996.
From Bobby Darin (1936–1973)
Darin's ongoing popularity might have surprised even him. In the twenty-first century, he is a disproportionately large influence, especially on such younger Italo-styled boy crooners as Tony DeSare, Peter Cincotti, and especially Michael Bublé. "Bobby didn't have Nat King Cole's voice and he didn't have James Dean's looks," as Darin's longtime colleague Nick Venet put it, "but he would step out onstage and become everything you ever thought was a star."
From Doris Day (born 1922)
On her first commercial session, Day and Brown chart the course of what would be one of the great careers in the recording industry, starting with "Dig It," a jive tune in which her vocal is introduced by the band chanting "Dig it, Doris!" on the vocal chorus, and dig it she does, showing herself already the equal of Miller's Marion Hutton (who also recorded it), Tommy Dorsey's Connie Haines, or the other Dorsey's Helen O'Connell, or any other perky canary who specialized in rhythm numbers. And she gets a groove going in Cole Porter's "Let's Be Buddies." . . . Doris Day was an instant success in pictures: It's no exaggeration to say the public took one look (and one listen) and she could do no wrong. Not just beautiful, not just a great singer, she possessed that kind of charisma that could be choreographed but not created. Day launched a film career that was, ultimately, more rewarding for us than it was for her. She remained one of Hollywood's top leading ladies for the next two decades, spending roughly ten years as the girl next door and an additional ten as the girl next door who might just sleep with you if you had a name like Rock or Cary and had some kind of a gimmick to trick her into it. . . . In spite of Melcher's machinations, Doris Day was probably the biggest female multimedia hit maker of the fifties, steadily turning out chart singles and top-grossing pictures. Dinah Shore, who had been around longer, had a bigger broadcasting career, but couldn't touch Day in pictures; Judy Garland had a shorter but more spectacular film career, but wasn't utilized as much on recordings and radio as she should have been. Paramount tried to make Rosemary Clooney the next Doris Day, but she never caught on in pictures. Day was the sole female singer to come from the band world and make the transition to solo stardom and pictures.
From Ella Fitzgerald (1917–1996)
I already knew that Fitzgerald was the greatest female singer who ever sang the American songbook. Her voice was pure silk, it was perfume, it was a frothy pink cloud, it was champagne, it was the stuff that dreams are made of; her intonation and her time were unimaginably astonishing. Above all, she knew how to sing a melody: Even when she played with one, she never screwed around with it; even when she was scatting for chorus after chorus, she never made herself more important than the song. Like Sinatra, she was the beginning and the end, setting an impossibly high bar for jazz singers and female singers in particular that could never be exceeded or even matched.
From Judy Garland (1922–1969)
Then, in 1939, Garland not only became an emerging star but shot to the upper pantheon of the immortals with The Wizard of Oz, not only the major vehicle of her career, but quite possibly the greatest of all movie musicals (and in my opinion the greatest film ever made, thank you very much). With "Over the Rainbow," Garland took the art of yearning to new levels. The notes themselves, with their operatic octave leap in the first interval, symbolized a reaching out, an optimistic striving for a greater good. Surrounding the seventeen-year-old trouper with three of the world's finest song and dance character men and a top score by lifelong friend Harold Arlen, Oz showed the world how good the movie musical could be. One of the tragedies of Garland's life is that she never surpassed Oz; still, after this she was the preeminent leading lady of the Hollywood musical. No woman in Hollywood—not Alice Faye, Betty Grable, Rita Hayworth, Ginger Rogers, Eleanor Powell, or Betty Hutton—could possibly compete with her.
From Dick Haymes (1916–1980)
It's Haymes's first two long-playing projects, produced by Capitol Records in 1955 and 1957 (Moondreams and Rain or Shine), that offer what is easily the finest singing of his entire career. When Capitol gave him a shot, he was offered his choice of musical director, and while he could have gone with such established greats as Nelson Riddle (who had actually directed a few of his final Decca dates in 1952), Billy May, or longtime collaborator Gordon Jenkins, he instead recruited a young Canadian conductor named Ian Bernard. Featuring a small string section and prominent clarinet solos from the raspy-toned Jimmy Giuffre, these two sets offer Haymes at his deepest, singing ballads at a gut level reminiscent of Sinatra on In the Wee Small Hours and the best of Billie Holiday. Even though he flies at an altitude very close to Sinatra here, I don't think that Haymes has ever sounded more like himself.
From Billie Holiday (1915–1959)
As Holiday ascended the ladder, and was given the star treatment more and more, something was gained as well as lost. If the 1940–42 sessions don't have the loose spontaneity of the earlier music, the compensating factor is that Holiday is given a better class of song. In this period, standards tested by time (even by then) are the rule and ephemeral new tunes are the exception. The songs she does here are almost all classics: "I Cover the Waterfront," "Love Me or Leave Me" (both with the verses), and even "Gloomy Sunday," the aforementioned Hungarian suicide song that had infiltrated the Englishspeaking world (via Paul Robeson and Hal Kemp) five years earlier. The 1936 "It's a Sin to Tell a Lie" is an unexpected choice; it's a rather old-fashioned song that sounds more like 1916. Fats Waller made a terrific record of it swinging and gagging it up (exactly what the song needed), while Ruth Etting did a lovely version that's completely straight. Sung in medium dance time, Holiday's treatment is somewhere in between; she doesn't jazz it just for the sake of it, but she isn't afraid to interpret the song and personalize it either.
From Peggy Lee (1920–2002)
With "Lover," Lee was anticipating a period when singers of both the jazz and pop varieties would transform all kinds of standards into sambas, to bring the rhythms of Rio and Havana to music from Broadway. Around the time of "Lover," she applied a similar treatment to "Just One of Those Things" (also done with Jenkins). From there she continually refined the idea: In 1955, she crafted a mambo treatment of "Ooh, That Kiss," a long-forgotten pre-Hollywood Harry Warren song. The orchestration includes Latin percussion, flutes, a male chorus of bandsmen chanting "cha-cha-cha," and a modulation near the end, but it's still a much simpler and subtler treatment than "Lover" or "Just One of Those Things." By continuing to pare down, Lee gradually brought this ideal of Latinization to a new level. . . . Lee's very sporadic final twenty-five years of performing and recording include some nonblues highlights as well. One of her post-Capitol triumphs is a longish medley of Rodgers and Hart songs on the 1977 Peggy Lee in Concert at the London Palladium. This concludes with a stunning treatment of "Who Are You?," a song from The Boys from Syracuse almost completely unheard in the jazz-pop sphere, which demonstrates that Lee knows her Richard Rodgers as well as her Ma Rainey.
From Frank Sinatra (1915–1998)
Sinatra achieved living legend status long before he turned thirty, and well before 1950 the first of many generations began growing up not just fascinated but mesmerized by him. He turned his private life into his own personal mythology: We were entranced by his affairs and his high-rolling, high-living bachelor lifestyle (as in "Luck Be a Lady"), and we also admired his paternal, familial side (as in "Soliloquy"). We admired his campaigning for civil rights as well as his connections with presidents from Roosevelt to Kennedy to Nixon and Reagan. We envied his unending list of boudoir conquests and even though we hardly approved of his consorting with notorious figures of the underworld, we still couldn't take our eyes off him. He was everything we wanted to be: swinging, romantic, erotic, melancholy, and even a little bit dangerous. . . . He continued to tour up to the end of 1994, and in February 1995 gave his last public performance. It was a brilliant but short six-song set mounted as part of his annual charity golf event, which proved he was more than ready to return to the road anytime he wanted. It was just like Sinatra, who famously described himself as "a symmetrical man, almost to a fault," to pick 1995 to end an era: In addition to marking his eightieth year on the planet, that season also signified sixty years since he first "went pro" with the Hoboken Four. Now he was ready to retire for real. As critic David Hajdu once wrote, "To hell with the calendar—The day that Frank Sinatra [is finished], the 20th Century is over." It also seems typical of Sinatra that he managed to take the millennium with him.
From Kate Smith (1907–1986)
If ever anyone was an unfortunate victim of changing attitudes, it's Kate Smith. By the sixties, she was routinely derided for her musical and political conservatism—not to mention her obesity. Other than those who would make her the rather large butt of such ungallant humor, who remembers Kate Smith today? Mainly grandmothers with first names that have fallen off the face of the earth—names like Mabel, Gertrude, and Edna. Yet at the height of her career, during the World War II era, Smith was one of the most respected women in America. In a nationwide poll conducted in 1942, only Eleanor Roosevelt and Helen Hayes rivaled her for overall popularity. Three years earlier, the Roosevelts summoned her to the White House to sing for the king and queen of England, and introduced her simply with: "Your Majesties, this is Kate Smith. This is America."
From Jo Stafford (1917–2008)
When all is said and done, who was Jo Stafford? A pop singer and a comic, a ballad singer and a folksinger, a band singer and a group singer, a swinger and a mourner (not to mention a radio and TV star, wife, and mother). She's a riddle to be solved, with no simple answers, and she haunts you so that after hearing her just once, you can't ever unhear her.
From Barbra Streisand (born 1942)
Love Is the Answer is Streisand's best album in forty years, possibly ever. She sings with a subtlety and reserve that, in her canon, is rare if not unprecedented. For once, she doesn't sing as if she's trying to beat a song to death, to overwhelm it with sheer chops. For once, she doesn't express every emotion with an outrageous stylization that nearly negates it, or makes it seem like so much empty posturing. There are times here when Streisand is so laid back, particularly by her standards, that it almost seems like a Diana Krall record with Streisand's vocals electronically inserted. (No one was denying that there was electronic tampering in the album—Columbia released a deluxe double-disc edition, in which one volume features the vocal tracks with full orchestra, the other with Krall and her quartet. I actually like both.)
From Mel Tormé (1925–1999)
There are those who feel that Tormé's Indian summer at the top was limited by the man's own personality—charismatic as he could sometimes be, he was hardly the paragon of sheer lovableness that Tony Bennett was and is. Nor did he inspire the treatment accorded Sinatra, that combination of movie star, political bigwig, and American icon. I'm proud to say I knew Mel fairly well from around 1984, when he played New York again for the first time after a few years' hiatus, to his last gig at Carnegie in June 1996. Mel could be an absolute sweetheart, but he wasn't always the nicest guy in the world, and he was never the most modest. He could be charitable and generous and surprisingly petty in the same breath.
From Margaret Whiting (born 1924)
Whiting was one of six white female pop singers whose stardom was cemented during the war years and whose work is still listened to today; the others were Dinah Shore, Kay Starr, Peggy Lee, Jo Stafford, and Doris Day. (It's indicative of the talentspotting abilities of Johnny Mercer that four of the six, including Whiting, were essentially launched by Capitol Records.) Kay Starr's singing was drenched with Western jazz and blues, Peggy Lee's was no less jazzy or bluesy but with Scandinavian re-straint, Doris Day's was pure sunshine, and Jo Stafford's favored reserved optimism with a touch of melancholy.
From Michael Feinstein (born 1956)
His specialty is slow ballads; Rodgers and Hart's "Isn't It Romantic" isn't just a piece of material to him, it's a motto. When he does a tune that goes faster, it's just that—a faster love song, like "Something's Gotta Give." He's also made efforts to do out-and-out big band–style swing, and while this isn't his forte, he is, in fact, very credible when singing fast-moving, Broadway-style numbers in double time or even faster—plenty of these are on The MGM Album. While singing fast isn't the same as swinging, Feinstein makes you feel pedantic for bothering about the difference.
From Folk Rock: Bob Dylan (born 1941)
As he gets older, Dylan seems to be growing closer to, rather than further away from, his roots. In doing so, he confounded his critics by releasing three of his best albums in his sixties: Love and Theft (2001), Modern Times (2006), and Together Through Life (2009). All three are heavily blues-oriented: Love and Theft has no shortage of Southern-style shuffle rhythms: "Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum" uses a New Orleans backbeat familiar to followers of Crescent City R&B or even that fans of Bo Diddley would enjoy; Together Through Life is primarily hard-edge blues rock. Yet Dylan is never limited by the blues: "Sugar Baby," the final track on Love and Theft, has a main melody and even a bridge obviously taken from the Tin Pan Alley spiritual "The Lonesome Road"; there are also allusions to "Darktown Strutters' Ball" (he sings of characters doing "the Darktown Strut") and "Ol' Man River." The second track on Together Through Life is "Life Is Hard," which, despite the basic-blues title, feels more like a traditional torch song, in the manner of "Maybe You'll Be There."
From Rock 'n' Roll: Elvis Presley (1935–1977)
Presley's innovation was neither in sounding black nor in sounding like a hillbilly, but in the brilliant way he embraced all three strains of pop music as they existed in the early fifties: rhythm and blues or black pop (and with it gospel); country music or mid-American pop; and the music of the mainstream, which, at its finest, was represented by singers who had jazz and big band experience and who sang songs from Broadway shows. The country and blues influences were probably what most attracted the teenagers of 1956, but in retrospect Presley is clearly a crooner, who comes out of a very clear-cut tradition of the finest male singers of the Great American Songbook, especially Bing Crosby, Al Jolson, Billy Eckstine, Dean Martin, and, to an extent, Frank Sinatra—and also the great crooners of the blues, like Louis Jordan, and country, like Jimmie Rodgers and Milton Brown.
From Blues: Bessie Smith (1894–1937)
More than seventy years after her tragically early death (at age forty-three), it seems increasingly clear that Bessie Smith may be the most important female voice of the early twentieth century. Who else comes close? Back in the day, both Ethel Waters, who also sang the blues, and Ruth Etting, who didn't, probably sold more records, but neither is as well remembered and well reissued as Bessie Smith. (Nor, for that matter, is Kate Smith, who shared Bessie's name and her body type, but little else.) If you were to stop a hundred people on Fifth Avenue in 2010, and read them a list of singers who were stars in the acoustic era, Enrico Caruso, Al Jolson, and Bessie Smith are probably the only names anyone would recognize.
From Country and Western: Hank Williams (1923–1953)
Still, we would be celebrating Hank Williams even if he had never written a single note or a single word of a song, for the same reason that we celebrate Sinatra and Bennett. Williams was a brilliant interpreter, no matter who the original author was, on the level of the great singers of the show-music-oriented American songbook. His voice was dark and woody, with a strong Southern accent—when he announces the song "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still in Love with You)" he drops the "L" in "help," but he pronounces it properly when he sings it.

It has been 13 years since professional basketball first said hello to Paul Pierce, and luckily, the face of the game's most decorated franchise hasn't changed. Living for this moment, Pierce goes to work every night and succeeds in the shadow of irony: an underappreciated star who doubles as the greatest scorer in Celtics' history. For the world, that should be enough.
From Dime #62:
"I only bowl when there are chandeliers in the building," the evening's suit-clad emcee notes. "It's just a rule that I set for myself a long time ago."
Luckily, there are chandeliers in this building, so bright that it's a wonder these lanes aren't producing more ugly gutter balls from vision loss. There are God-knows-how-large projector screens resting just above the bowling pins in case anyone gets bored. Foxwoods Resort Casino's High Rollers Luxury Lanes & Lounge in Mashantucket, Conn., is a candy land of ridiculous indulgences. Plush? It's more than that; it reeks of success, a mix of perfume, budding flowers and new sofas.
"I don't need no warm-ups," snaps a grinning Kevin Garnett to no one in particular, but loud enough to not be drowned out by "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" blasting in the background.
The emcee comes right back, joking that Garnett's Celtic teammate – and some of the evening's bowling competition – Paul Pierce, was out at three that afternoon rolling practicing rounds.
"Don't sell me out now!" cracks the sultan of the night, the reason why everyone is here on a Friday night in the first place: to promote The Truth Fund, Pierce's charity to help stop child obesity. Frantically, Pierce stabs down at the nearest rack – forgetting the ceremonial first ball deserves a proper introduction – sets his fingers and sends one down the alley, past a line of nine reporters and towards the pins.
It's a strike.
*** *** ***
"He is the greatest individual scoring machine in Celtic history."
One night in April of 2003, legendary Celtics writer Bob Ryan first claimed that about a then 26-year-old Pierce after watching him decimate the Indiana Pacers with 40 points in a playoff game, watched him meander to the rim or stop short for jumpers, watched the Truth work over the defense the same way he always has. It's an art for Pierce, albeit an underappreciated one for an eight-time All-Star who proclaimed a few years ago, "I think I'm the best player in the world." But in fact, in the years since Ryan first made the proclamation – which was repeated recently again by Ryan and by Hall of Famer John Havlicek – the now 33-year-old Pierce's continued machine-like excellence only enhanced the argument.
"In terms stylistically, the guy could get the ball in the basket more efficiently and in more different ways than any Celtic has ever done," says Ryan of Pierce. "John Havlicek ran without the ball. He wasn't a one-on-one player. Larry [Bird] had guys that could guard him and make him take shots that he didn't want to take and at times, keep him from getting the ball. That was a fact. Pierce, you don't have any recollections of that. If he wants the ball, he gets the ball. He gets it. You can clear out with him very confidently. He can get at the very least a reasonable shot, at the best, a great shot for him. If he doesn't, he has a chance to get to the free throw line because that's his other option, which he is great at. What more do you want?"
Two nights before his Truth Fund charity event, Paul Pierce wasn't bowling at Foxwoods. He was in Madison Square Garden. Still, he was doing what he's always doing: Winning.
The Celtics' captain disassembled Broadway's newfound hype and reaffirmed himself as one of the game's ultimate closers, hitting a step-back jump shot over Amar'e Stoudemire just before the buzzer to beat the New York Knicks. "I was nervous. I'm always nervous," Pierce admitted later to reporters about his game-closing duties. Yet once the shot fell, he bounded around on a victory lap, sucking in the boos careening down at him. After the game was over, he gave a few bows to the still-shocked fans.
Should we be surprised?
In the city that brought us the Boston Massacre and Brady, and Larry Legend and the Freedom Trail, Paul Pierce is a survivor. Thirteen seasons, over 20,000 points and one championship in and the Truth still can't be handled. Nothing has ever stopped him. Not record-setting losing streaks (18 straight in 2007), not coaching changes (Rick Pitino to Jim O'Brien to John Carroll to Doc Rivers), not a bad reputation (egotistical, actor), not even an encounter with death.
He thrives in hard times.
In the 1998 NBA Draft, Boston's front office beamed about a skinny kid from Germany named Dirk Nowitzki. Instead, they ended up with Pierce, who fell to pick No. 10 for no good reason at all. In September of 2000, Pierce was ambushed and stabbed nearly a dozen times across the face, back and chest in a Boston nightclub, coming a half-inch away from death. Yet, he came back just a few weeks later to score 28 points on opening night. In 2002 at the World Championships, he clashed repeatedly with the coaching staff and was singled out as the problem in a dysfunctional sixth-place finish. The next season, Pierce averaged nearly 26 points a game and had statistically, the best playoff run of his career. In 2007, Boston won only 24 times as Pierce missed 34 games, almost all of them overshadowed by trade rumors. The very next year, the Celtics won it all behind Pierce, the Finals MVP.
"In some ways, he may even look forward to it," says Patrick Roy, Pierce's coach at Inglewood (Calif.) High School. "Looking for that challenge, looking for that adversity where he can overcome and succeed."
"You are going to have your ups and your downs," says Pierce. "Some people are fortunate to play on good teams their whole career. Some aren't. But at the end of the day, you have to look at yourself in the mirror also, to want to be a leader, to want to lead that team."
He's been tagged as everything from malcontent to selfish to assassin to champion. "I just try to give the game what it needs," is how he puts it. Yet the man is still breathing, still competing, still climbing towards the Gardens' 21 retired numbers.
This is the teen from Inglewood who used to peel out of bed and workout at 5:30 in the morning for a shot like this. This is a Laker at heart turned Celtic soul.
"I got four years left, and that might be it," Pierce told the Boston Globe this summer. "I'm playing for a lot – myself, my team, memories. I have a lot of pride."
Kobe is electrifying. LeBron is otherworldly. Dwight Howard is monstrous. But how can one describe Pierce? He is a mystery to even those poor souls assigned to guard him. "Ah, I don't know," Phoenix guard Mickael Pietrus struggles. "He, ah…I don't know. He seems slow…but is quick. I don't know." Boston's head coach Doc Rivers calls Pierce a chameleon.
He's not really a shooter, but can go through hot stretches. Just last season, he shot over 41 percent from behind the arc. He's not exactly a jolting athlete. But talk about his hops with Chris Bosh, who shriveled up in pain under the basket after Pierce slammed one on him last winter. Pierce does nothing fantastically, but everything deadly. Rivers says he is the ultimate utility man. Believes Ryan, "He has every weapon."
Pierce plays at a tempo that's impossible to duplicate. He moves with an ungraspable rhythm, confusing defenders with his body language until he has them on his hip, reacting instead of attacking. Pietrus confesses the 13-year NBA veteran gets everyone with the same moves over and over again.
"You never catch him going too fast," adds Cleveland guard Daniel Gibson. "You never catch anybody speeding him up. He always does exactly what he wants to do. And that's tough to guard."
Call it a survival tactic. His high school coach believes deception is a huge part of Pierce's success.
"A lot of people look at him and they might think that he is slow," admits Roy. "But his first step is so incredibly fast, I think he's able to allude a lot of people into thinking that he's slow."
It all comes together to create one of the best one-on-one players of the modern era. As other wing players came and went – Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter – Pierce remained consistent.
"As you get older, you start to develop other interests and you have kids and some things that you did before, you kind of let fall to the wayside," explains Pierce's teammate Ray Allen. "And then your game slips a little bit. And then you have to go to different ways to play or you don't shoot certain shots or make certain moves."
Yet, that never happened to Pierce. As the years went on, former teammate James Posey saw Pierce study harder. Tony Allen, another former teammate, didn't start running sprints and lifting weights before practice until he started noticing the Captain do it. If anyone has the right to be selfish, it's Pierce, he says, because of what he puts into this. Even Boston's general manager Danny Ainge once admitted that Larry Bird never worked this hard.
"Coming into the Draft I was known as a scorer," recalls Pierce. "Throughout the course of my career, I've worked on a lot of things on both sides of the ball. Even coming into this season, I just try to pride myself on being the best overall player that I can be."
It also doesn't hurt that his game always surfaces when it's least welcomed. Pierce scored 22 first-half points in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals last season, annoying Orlando so soundly with his timely playmaking that Dwight Howard eventually clotheslined him with a series-altering flagrant foul.
"It was hilarious," says Ryan. "He was frustrating the whole team with his bullshit."
His step-back jump shot, the one that he beat Miami with at the buzzer in Game 3 of their first round playoff series last year, is normally difficult for players moving to their strong side. But Pierce can make it. His defender on that game-winner, Dorell Wright, still doesn't understand it. In between laughs, Wright recalls, "He just said, 'That's my spot. I make that shot all the time.'"
But besides the work, there's luck. Pierce is lucky to still be in Boston. He's lucky that he never had a serious injury on the court.
"And not only that," says Ray Allen, "you have to be on a team that is conducive and catering to what you bring to the table. So it's never something that you can determine. I think guys are lucky if you can play for a long period of time."

Workbench v 0.1
Frame built, pieces nearly square. Imprecision in cuts and bore holes resulted in some torquing and gaps, but lag screws largely pulled pieces back to perpendicular.
Top at the moment is simply a loose piece of plywood to check for level. I'll start building the tabletop this week (32 54" 1x2's, pulled tight by five threaded rods and nuts, then sanded flat and level). The tabletop will have four small recesses to clear the lag screw heads at the underside. It will be secured with 4 4½ lag screws up through the 2x4's and into the tabletop.
I'll probably add plywood cut to size atop the stretchers as a shelf, perhaps with backings for both that and the tabletop to keep anything from falling off the back. Ideally I'd craft and attach drawers on the underside of the tabletop, but that's something entirely different to learn.

Freakin' at the Beacon...
It has evolved into more than just a series of gigs; it has become a tradition. Gregg Allman and company roll the tour bus into New York City every spring and settle in for a two-week stand at the Beacon Theatre. What group commands that kind of respect or fan support? Only the Allman Brothers Band, that's who. And with the new double live CD recorded from consecutive evenings in March 2003, all doubts are dispelled as to who the finest live jammers are. Forget the Dead and Phish, they're not even close, as the Allmans and the Beacon have become synonymous with extended play brilliance.
Into his fourth decade assembling the musicians, Gregg Allman has done a remarkable job of juggling personnel and keeping his charges functioning as a cohesive unit. Warren Haynes is completely at ease dueling with wunderkind Derek Trucks, as the pair strum and slide their way through two and a half hours of blues drenched classics. Jaimoe, Butch Trucks, and Mark Quinones effortlessly trade percussion licks, while bassist Oteil Burbridge follows, having found his niche replacing the late Allen Woody. And of course there's Allman himself, whose flowing keyboard work and ragged vocals sound as good as ever.
The Allman Brothers Band
One Way Out
US: 23 Mar 2004
UK: 22 Mar 2004
For everyone's listening pleasure, the twin discs offer up 18 tracks of set list standards and surprises, short takes and full blown explorations. From disc one's opening of "Statesboro Blues", the band is in prime form, slowly burning up the 13-plus-minute "Desdemona" to a rollicking jaunt through "Trouble No More". Even the staple "Midnight Rider" shines with new luster. The set is flawless in all respects, and is punctuated by the phenomenal Haynes led closer, "Instrumental Illness".
Could it get any better?
Obviously it can, as disc two is even more impressive than its counterpart. The band delves into the deepest recesses of its blues sensibilities, contrasting the somber "Old Before My Time" with the smoldering "Worried Down with the Blues". As with any Allmans' concert however, the absolute best is left for last. Two tracks, a 28-minute finale, enough said. OK, just a few more words… "Dreams" and "Whipping Post".
As strong a performance as these discs provide, there is one small gripe that aficionados may voice. Although the overall sound is crisp through out, particularly for a live recording, Burbridge's bass is frustratingly quiet. A shame really, as he contributes some fine low-end rumble that would be fully appreciated if miked up a bit more.
That minor issue aside, the most amazing aspect of One Way Out is how it compares to the Allmans' classic live albums, Atlanta International Pop Festival and Live at Fillmore East. While the talents of Duane Allman and Berry Oakely can never be truly equaled, the band has stood the test of time. Even the departure of Dickey Betts has not hampered the band's trademark sound and penchant for playing live. A good thing for the Allman faithful, as the summer tour season is now upon us. And if the band doesn't equal its level of excellence on any stage other than the Beacon, so be it, Spring 2005 isn't that far off.
But if One Way Out is the Allman's new millennium sign of things to come, then kick back and relax, 'cause Gregg and the boys still got it…

There are no Firefox builds reported to the per-locale tinderbox pages. http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=Mozilla-l10n-af&hours=72 is not showing any, while http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=Mozilla-l10n&hours=72 does, same for de, at least.
This blocks me from checking that we actually have successful builds for new locales on Firefox 4 Beta 7.
Looking at the admin pages for a couple of individual locales I don't think we are reporting any Firefox l10n build unto those pages.
We seem to still have that code in place for buildbot-0.8.0:
and the only difference that I see with the default branch:
is the from address.
The other differences I see are:
* if config['enable_l10n_onchange']:
* nomergeBuilders.extend(l10n_builders)
I see the code enabling the l10n on change:
* mozilla/config.py:BRANCHES['mozilla-central']['enable_l10n_onchange'] = True
I ain't got time as of now but I thought this info could help. I don't see at first anything that got lost when porting to 0.8.0 masters.
I think this worked in post 0.8.0 era times, too. Seems like a really recent regression.
Regression range is between http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=Mozilla-l10n-af&maxdate=1283015590&hours=72&legend=0&norules=1 and http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=Mozilla-l10n-af&maxdate=1283274790&hours=72&legend=0&norules=1, likely post 2010/08/28.
* Bug 589765: Set treeStableTimer=None for l10n repack jobs. - http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbotcustom/rev/30499aa7f126
* Bug 559150: Don't use hard coded values for pollInterval and l10nPollInterval. - http://hg.mozilla.org/build/buildbotcustom/rev/770d99c11673
From looking at commit messages on the 0.8.0 branch.
I so wish we had a unit test for this and when the repacks don't trigger on-change as it takes long to notice.
So the problem is that TinderboxMailNotifier doesn't support WithProperties for tree. No wonder if or why that regressed.
Most likely got lost in the 0.8.1 upgrade.

Lunch at a Greek place with Drake. Not only was the food amazing but this picture turned out really well! Usually when I ask him to smile I get a really goofy face but this time, he was spot on!

On January 21st 2017 Drake will be home for 3 years! He turns 6 in April. We have home schooled a year at the end of January and he's made so much progress with his education. Here's a collage of pictures over time.

Homeschool Update: Day 28
We are at day 28 of preschool homeschool, which Drake wanted to name "Purple School" today instead of homeschool. His academic learning has progressed tremendously in the last month. He started out identifying about 6 uppercase letters a month ago to identifying 43 of 52 (upper and lower) letters. He is doing better with coloring. He used to just scribble or draw circles and now he is able to draw lines on his own (1st picture) below. We call them roads so the animals can travel to each other (lol). I have picked up a lot of supplies including a large preschool workbook and I purchased the Phonic's preschool materials. I just got some finger paints which he really enjoyed. We took a field trip this week to the donut shop in town, of course he loves donuts!
Saturday, January 30, 2016
On 1/28/16 we made the decision to home school Drake. It has a choice that we have been considering for well over a year. It is a very exciting option for us! I will start modifying this blog to include home school information and updates. We will be working on pre-school work to prepare Drake for Kindergarten work. We will officially start Kindergarten July 1.

The Innovation Lab - independently resourced and with an established innovation discipline - increases the chance that ideas that support HUD's Strategic Plan and Open Government goals can find the light of day, can grow and be tested, and can begin providing essential value to HUD communities. HUD's Innovation Lab brings together dedicated resources, tools, and techniques that may not otherwise be available to accelerate the development of solutions more efficiently than other available approaches. The Lab is participatory, collaborative and fosters transparency by showing the idea submission process on an electronic dashboard which ensures that HUD employees receive proper credit and attribution for their good ideas.
The goal of the Innovation Lab is to accelerate the formulation of transformational ideas into solutions which are then implemented more efficiently than other available approaches enable. In this process, not all ideas will become reality. The Innovation Lab Framework entails a multidisciplinary process for evolving well-defined and compelling ideas to a point where a tangible solution is created or a decision is made that the idea is not currently viable. Before ideas are supported by the Innovation Lab, the generation of a good idea must first occur. The framework guides ideation, application to the Innovation Lab, design of ideas to specification, incubation (i.e. prototyping), and idea launch. In close collaboration with program areas, the Innovation Lab provides strategies, tools, techniques, as well as supplemental resources for exploring compelling new ideas. Working with Innovation Lab Director, staff, cross-departmental teams and external partnerships are formulated to develop and launch new ideas.
The purpose of Ideation at HUD is to generate, develop, and communicate ideas that inclusively tap into valuable stakeholder resources to achieve the agency's mission and performance goal. Ideation occurs whenever a program office solicits ideas from internal or external stakeholders. Program offices determine whether or not good ideas they receive are best suited for implementation and, in some cases, may decide to obtain support of HUD's Innovation Lab.
Project Applications that pass the initial review process then migrate into the Admission phase of HUD's Innovation Lab. Within this phase, all associated submission documentation will be finalized, the Admission Panel will convene and analyze the proposed projects, and a collective determination will be reached. The Panel will review applications based on their alignment to HUD's Strategic Plan and the principals of open government.
The purpose of the Design phase is to conduct research and develop a solution model. The Design team will generate a Draft Specification and Draft Business Case for ideas that are successfully admitted to the Innovation Lab. Design promotes development, teamwork, collaboration, and adaptability to, as rapidly as possible, identify all the constraints, restraints, resources and projected benefits of the idea.
The Incubation period produces a working prototype of the solution. This prototype has been refined and reviewed, and is then delivered with a set of comprehensive recommendations for Launch. Incubation is used to prove that a particular solution is potentially viable and valuable to stakeholders. A Final Specification and Final Business Case are produced resulting in a launch strategy.
Launch is the process of adopting a working prototype, refining the solution, and implementing the idea into production. HUD has effective implementation procedures for new products, services or operations in place that shall be followed for idea solutions. The purpose of Launch at HUD is to deploy working concepts into a functional environment, so that ideas can be realized and the solutions utilized by stakeholders. The potential paths for launch are a pilot, complete deployment, and further development through HUD's IT Project Planning and Management Lifecycle.

From the Executive Director
What an honor it is to be joining Covenant House California! For close to 20 years, I have known and admired CHC for the work they have done with homeless youth in California. Having spent 20+ years working in child welfare, I am painfully aware that the youth we serve need more than what our government systems can provide. These young people have often been abused or neglected by their families, they have been failed by the systems that are supposed to protect them, and they have been forced just to find ways just to survive.
We all need a system of support to be successful. I know that I would not be here, if not for my family, friends, and community support. At Covenant House, we have an opportunity to help develop these supports for these youth who have never had them before, so that they can be successful and fulfill their dreams. I have fallen in love with Covenant House's mission to "…serve all God's children with absolute respect and unconditional love… to help suffering homeless kids… and to protect and safeguard all children in need." Through Covenant House's tried and true principles of Immediacy, Sanctuary, Communication, Structure and Choice, each day we are amazed to see transformation in the lives of young people. What an amazing privilege it is to be part of such an incredible mission!
Bill Bedrossian,
Executive Director
Covenant House California

Brescia President Gino Corioni believes his side would have a chance of being champions if all the refereeing mistakes were to balance out.
Corioni feels the relegation threatened club have been treated unjustly in their first season back in the top flight and joins the growing dissent against Italy's match officials.
"This year Brescia have been damaged by events and if at the end of the season they were to balance out, Brescia could actually win the League," he said.
"At Brescia, like at Napoli, there have been numerous refereeing mistakes. I've counted a good 15 big errors and of these only three in our favour."

Cons: Absolutely bloody awful picture quality, in all forms of connectivity. VGA looks better than HDMI because HDMI really brings out the flaws in the picture.
This screen is absolutely AWFUL. It reminds me of back in the day when I hooked up my computer to my 32" Sony Trinitron tube TV. The text has jagged edges and the entire Windows OS looks like trash.

Energy solutions provider Alstom today said it has launched its ECO 122, a 2.7 MW onshore wind turbine that can boost energy yield in low wind regions.
At a wind speed of 7.5 m/s, the turbine delivers a net wind farm capacity factor of up to 42%- equivalent to 3,600 full-load hours each year - according to Alstom. The turbine has a rotor diameter of 122 meters and a swept area of 11,700 m2, the company said in a statement issued here.
"With the ECO 122 and other turbines in our ECO 100 platform, we're leading the development of the new generation of high power, high-efficiency turbines to increase value for our customers. Longer blades capture more power more
effectively, and with its swept area much larger than current generation machines, the ECO 122 has set a new standard for low wind sites around the globe," Alstom Senior Vice President of wind business, Alfonso Faubel, said.
The ECO 122 powered wind farm can reduce balance-of-plant costs by 10% to 15%, compared with a farm using typical 1.5 MW to 2 MW turbines, due to
fewer foundations, platforms and roads, and less cabling, the release said.
The first ECO 122 is expected to be installed in 2012, with the first commercial deliveries expected in early 2013.

After getting off the highway onto the exit Into Ft. Lauderdale we both seemed to let our guards down a bit. \"Turn left when you hit 15th\" I told him. He didn't answer me he just stared ahead with a look of determination on his face. I rolled my eyes I wasn't in the mood for his bullshit. We'd been driving four hours straight with no cigarette breaks, no bathroom breaks, and no stops for food. He was actually lucky he didn't get slick with me...that would have resulted in a car crash. My entire body was shaking, and I don't know if it was from lack of nicotine or lack of food, and possibly lack of sleep. King turned on fifteenth and drove a little ways. \"Turn right on 3rd, you hear?\" I told him. He just nodded his head. We arrived at my place pretty quick. And I hopped out of his car, threw up in the grass, and stumbled my way towards the front door. My house was 2 stories tall, white, with aquamarine trim. You had to climb up a few steps to get to the porch. I felt really nauseous and dizzy and was about to trip over the first step when King caught me. He helped me up the steps and to the front door. I fumbled around for the key in my purse when the door swung wide open. The welcoming smell of apples and cinnamon drafted out towards me. \"Savannah!!\" James exclaimed, scooping me up into his arms and giving King an icy glare. He carried me to the couch and set me down. \"What did you do to her?!\" he bellowed. King looked from me to him confused. \"James calm down love, this is who I told you about, King Hewes. He hasn't done anything to me. It's just just I haven't eaten since I got off the plane yesterday, or slept.\" I explained wearily. James lowered his fighting stance just slightly. He returned to his usual self but he still had his guard up. \"I didn't know you were bringing him here...\" James said coldly. James was my fiancé. I can't say that I loved him but I knew he loved me. He was very protective of my well being and was an extremely awesome guy. I liked him alot. King restored his confidence and reached out his hand in an attempt to shake hands with James. \"Nice to meet you sir\" he sad with a cocky hint to his voice and a smirk on his face. James looked at his hand as if there was a rare skin disease crawling all over it and ignored the gesture. He walked past King and entered the kitchen. King looked at me \"how are you feeling?\" he asked, touching my forehead as my body shook slightly. \"I swear I didn't know you hadn't slept or eaten I would've stopped somewhere.\" James came from the kitchen with 3 hot pockets on a plate. By the smell of them they were ham and cheese flavor. \"Here you go princess\" sad James. I took the plate, set it down, and made my way to the bathroom because I'd been holding it for much too long.
