What makes a prolific guitarist and musician so great? For starters, a little natural talent helps, but in the case of Joe Satriani, the descendent of Italian immigrants, he was inspired to begin playing guitar at the age fo 14 after hearing about the death of Jimi Hendrix. It is said that he announced his decision when he heard the news during football practice.

Life Is Funny

No two comedians are the same. And that is certainly true of Brian Regan who uses ordinary life events mixed with observational, sarcastic and usually self-deprecating humor to create a clean, off-center stand-up act free of profanity and off-color humor.

Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) is a dance competition television show that began in 2005 in which celebrities are paired with professional dancers. The pairs spend a week preparing and learning a dance, perform it for the judges and audience and then America votes on who did the best.

Spring is a time when the earth comes to life after a long dormant winter. We shed our heavy woolen layers and opt for lighter fabrics, brighter colors, and add a touch of whimsy in our accessories. This is true when planning a spring wedding as well.

Roulette is a simple game of betting on whether your number will come up on the Roulette wheel. Betting is done by placing chips on a combination of numbers (or on the lines between numbers), on a color (black or red), on the area noted odd or even, or on zero or double zero.

Poker is a game of strategy and knowing when to bet and when to fold.

Hit or Stand

It’s you against the house and a little luck never hurt either. Blackjack or “21” is the most widely played casino game. It’s a game where you play against the dealer, but not the other players at the table. The goal is to get more points that than the dealer without busting, or going over 21. Points are calculated as follows: face cards equal 10, number cards equal their number and aces equal either 1 or 11 – your choice.
