...record department of the JJ Newberry's in Plymouth, New Hampshire. I'm not sure why. It could have been a lark, or it could have been the cover, one of the first of the psychedelic era, and I was fifteen. The five-man Steve Miller Band, with Moby Grape are still the only Hashbury era rock bands I can tolerate over repeated listenings. Miller broke up that band, in favor of a trio, at the musical instant when trios went totally out of fashion. He rode back into the mainstream of rock music, Steve Miller's remains as little...

Coming later than it should, the nomination justifiably rewards a characteristically offbeat comic performance that turned an otherwise average family...
...next trend in a fickle market. Wineries like Château Sainte Marguerite from Côtes de Provence are producing crisp, fruity tipples - and more of them now being exported. The color of rosé generally comes from juice that has been left in contact with the grape skins; the wine is best enjoyed young. First-timers should try the can't-go-wrong bottlings from the Château de Flaugergues in Languedoc. There's also Spanish rosado and Australia's wonderful Turkey Flat Rosé.
