I thought perhaps with all the various topics we discuss, and side-trips we make in cyber-space to find stuff, this might be a good catch-all for websites that would be of general or specific interest. Whatcha think? Like this one I found called www.electricscotland.com -- everything Scottish! It was useful finding a family name on a story I'm doing and the town, its history, etc. There's a list of tartans, Celtic music, people ... could spend hours poking around. |

Bill Murray was great! Had nothing to do with Punxatawney Phil, though.

This site isn't weird, wild or wonderful, but it's worth visiting, I think. Every time that you click, sponsors donate money for mammograms. It only applies to the USA, but I thought I'd help my American sisters! www.thebreastcancersite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=2 |

Perhaps I should have added "worthy" to the title of this thread, but I don't think you can change their name once they're begun.
Your suggestion shows what a caring person you are, Binks!

For that select crowd who loves organ music, but hasn't caught the show on NPR (classical music/news network for those who don't know), look up this one -- it's really awesome! http://pipedreams.publicradio.org/ |

I wandered around on the site a little. Those organs are gorgeous - lots of gold leaf.
I'm lucky that there is a really good organ in the church on my corner. The organist gives a free concert every week from 1:10 to about 1:50 - just enough time for office workers to get to hear a concert on their lunch hours. Contributions by concert-goers paid for repairs to the organ, and now that it's fixed, are going toward the church roof (like most city churches here, there isn't a large congregation, and repairs are very costly).

What a great idea -- sometimes a local Presbyterian church has performances like that, but not on such a regular basis. What's really nice is that the organist also talks about the music he performs.
They are truly a magnificent sight and sound! I used to go to St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC and what a treat it was to hear the one in there -- the tones would penetrate your whole body and vibrate. Far better than any rock concert, I'd say!

Leave it to you, binks! As always. I've seen that one -- I think you posted it once before, long, long ago. It's a hoot!
