| De Kreuners - Ik wil je |
 |
In tien om te zien was er uiteraard ook
plaats voor vlaamse rockers en de aloude
kreuners maakten daar dankbaar gebruik van.
Ik wil je werd in 1990 een gigantisch succes
bij een publiek, waarvan het grootste deel
misschien 2 generaties jonger was dan zanger
walter grootaers. De groep die in 1978 door
walter werd opgericht, begon dankzij tien om
te zien aan een tweede carrière en scoorde
nog hits met zo jong, maak me wakker, nu of
nooit, layla, help me door de nacht, in de
zin van mijn leven en andere

| Wil Maring - Millworker by James Taylor |
 |
Wil sings the song "Millworker", written by
James Taylor, bluegrass style. Mark Stoffell
is on mandolin; Kelley Sims is on lead
guitar, Geoff Maring is on bass, Doug Knecht
is on banjo, Rob Ickes is on dobro, Willie
Jones provides harmony vocals on this song.
Wil Maring and virtuose guitarist and fiddler
Robert Bowlin have been recently combining
talents to create beautiful original acoustic
music which straddles the fence between
bluegrass, folk and country music. Wil's
beautiful airy vocal style and heartfelt
lyrics have raised the eyebrows of the
acoustic music world in recent years with the
release of her three solo cds and four band
cds with her band Shady Mix. Robert, a
two-time National Fingerpicking and
Flatpicking Guitar contest winner, has been a
band member with legendary artists like Bill
Monroe, Maura O Connell, Kathy Mattea, the
Osborne Brothers, and many more. Their music
will leave audiences spellbound long after
the show is over. For bigger venues, Wil
sometimes appears with whole band, Shady Mix,
which includes instrumental lineup of upright
bass, fiddle, mandolin, and sometimes banjo.
Mixture of bluegrass, oldtime, folk, country,
and even a little pop. Wide variety of
influences, and live show includes a heavy
emphasis on originals, but also bluegrass and
country standards, fiddle tunes, and cowboy
and western swing music. Current favorite
artists and influences are wide and
varied.... Joni Mitchell, Jimmy Martin, James
Taylor, John Hartford, John Prine, Mary
Chapin Carpenter, Flatt and Scruggs, Bob
Wills, Asleep at the Wheel, Tony Rice, Hot
Rize, Dougie MacLean, Kate Rusby, Lyle
Lovett, Kim Richey, Patty Griffin, Lucy
Kaplansky, Nanci Griffith and so many more...
from my youth: Dan Fogelberg, John Denver,
Jackson Browne, Eagles, and many bluegrass
artists.
Robert Bowlin started at age 1 and a half
playing the ukele, graduated to his dad's
guitar at age 5, and has been creating unique
and beautiful guitar music ever since. He won
the National Fingerpicking Guitar
Championship in Winfield, KS in 1979 and got
2nd in the Flatpicking Guitar Contest in
1978. His professional career has included
stints with artists such as Maura O' Connell,
Kathy Mattea, Tom T. Hall, the Osborne
Brothers, Bill Monroe, Ray Price, Bobby Bare,
Faron Young, Ricky Van Shelton. He was a
session guitarist and fiddler in Nashville
for countless recordings. He has played
onstage with artists such as BB King and
Ricky Skaggs, Tony Rice, Peter Rowan, and
Vassar Clements.

| Wil Wheaton praises Sony's 1,000,000/1 Contrast OLED TV's |
 |
OLED = organic light-emitting diode.
This is an amazing new technology that will
enable extremely thin TV's with a contrast
ratio that is about 100 times greater than
the best consumer LCD's or Plasma's on the
market today, thanks to the fact that they
have no backlight. An advantageous side note
of this means they are extremely power
efficient. With tested response times of up
to 0.01ms, which far exceed today's best.
They are much brighter, with more vivid
colors than existing TV's too.
A few issues remain to get this technology to
the mainstream, the big issue being the
organic material used has a relatively short
lifespan. However this issue is being
addressed, and as of recently the 11" version
just hit the world market for real. Though at
$2,499 it is "very expensive", even if it's
technically cheaper to manufacture than any
other TV technologies.
Expect full sized OLED TV's to hit the
mainstream market in 2010, at somewhat
affordable [i.e. not cheap] prices. Expect
30" models to start to appear in 2009.
P.S. Wil Wheaton = Wesley Crusher
= slight idiot (who happens to be spot on
here)
