Although Kevin Kane and Tom Hooper did put out a fine record with 2000's "Field Trip" and both have had great solo records in between, it's indeed exciting to finally have an album from the original Grapes lineup (Kevin Kane, Tom Hooper, Chris Hooper).   As Bruce used to say: "extremely highly recommended!" ________________________________ From: Michael Coxe To: audities@smoe.org Sent: Friday, April 5, 2013 2:18:33 AM Subject: Re: Roger Ebert On 4/4/2013 1:34 PM, Gene Good wrote: > I am speechless .My mentor and literary hero is gone.He literally taught me how to love the cinema.

The man wrote the screenplay for "Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls" for starters. Tho I was more a Gene Siskel fan (& stunned when he died at 54), I loved Ebert's sense of humor & his tweaks of Siskel when Gene went beyond the pale (tho I tended to agree with Siskel). Ebert's lefty fundalmentalism irked me at times, but the man certainly had many gifts and was never boring (except the politicking). - Michael NP: Grapes of Wrath - High Road  *** AWESOME!!!! ***
