High Caliber Culture
Since we’ve been considering the plight of New Orleans today, it seems fitting to stop by the Library Lounge at the Ritz Carlton and let Chris make us not one, but two, martinis. Keith Marszalek provides the video and each of you owes him a drink.

Professor Carol now offers a complete self-study course covering 300 years of music.
This romp through music history (and many other historical topics) combines 13 hours of DVD video with a 3-disc listening set from Naxos and a 236-page course book.
From the birth of opera to the Leipzig coffeehouses frequented by Bach and Schumann, from the Orthodox cathedrals of Moscow to Tin Pan Alley, from scientific discoveries to bloody revolutions, spooky dramas and shoe styles, Carol chronicles it all with her unique commentary.

Fitz, thanks for the awesome video on the art and history of the martini. I myself am a classic martini man, which means GIN, and I like a couple of olives with them (note the plural). In N.O., the way to go is Mr. B’s for the $1.50 martinis with lunch, although sometimes Bacco will have ten cent martinis. I once had five ten-centers with lunch. I went home early that day. But it was great. I try to be patient with those who call a vodka drink a martini, but it’s difficult.
