Comment of the Day Today’s Comment of the Day award certainly has to go to Keith, in comment #9 on this morning’s NQC Dino Showcase post. He said: While they’re at it, give Kim Collingsworth her own showcase, too. She’s incredible. I’d pay for that one. I have this feeling he’s not...

CD Review: “Everyday People” (Greater Vision) I purchased this CD the week it came out, but I didn’t review it immediately for a very simple reason: On first listen, I didn’t particularly like it.
