Say what you want about that first item, but for the Zapruder family to liken their father's home movie of Kennedy's death to a Van Gogh is ludicrous. Now if Zapruder had scanned all of Dealey Plaza and captured the actual assassin on film, we might have something. But with these being the greediest of times and everybody trying to get theirs, I guess a tip of the cap is in order to Zapruder's heirs.
Some people just have too much disposable income.
What makes this story special is that maybe people won't scoff now at some young independent filmmaker who spends a few thousand dollars filming an interesting story, say, around central Arkansas. You just never know what will capture the country's fancy. Three of the CDs we received are from acts who will play over the next five days, and each is outstanding. Dabbling in the piano myself and with an affinity for modern jazz and jazz fusion, I've always liked David Benoit's music. Or you can catch Benoit, Norman Brown and Michael Franks on Friday night at Jazzlights in the Park at Riverfest Amphitheatre.
