Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs.
As long as we're talking Mike Rowe, he also narrates Deadliest Catch. Here's Captain Sig Hansen of the Northwestern.



Sig's brother is Edgar.



I used to think Edgar was the sane one until he yelled ... Grab my feet ... as he's throwing himself over the side of the boat to retrieve an anchor.

Very pretty, Jmiked!

Who is she? Never mind, I see it now-Ana Vidovic.

What album of hers would you recommend to someone who's never heard of her, like me?
Well, if you like classical guitar music, then this one:

There are only two CDs available currently of her playing... one that's entirely the music of Fredrico Morena Torroba (2007) and an earlier one (2000):



The music she was playing on the Youtube link, strictly speaking, wasn't classical. They were written by the great South American composer/guitarist Antonio Lauro. Ms. Vidovic plays more traditional classical pieces on the CDs, only two of which are available in this country. You can listen to samples of the albums on Amazon (and get them as MP3 downloads).

Ana Vidovic is a charmer. She has been to Austin twice, After the first time, she was invited back only two years later, which had never happened before. She was on one of the local TV stations and two of radio stations playing pieces to advertise the concert, which was to a sell-out crowd. There's nothing like a live performance.

Slightly off-topic, Austin is a great place for classical guitarists.... We have a guitar society that's 400 or so strong, and we regularly fill concert halls that seat 500-600 people. About a dozen or so wonderful players show up every year for concerts and master classes. I've talked to people that have flown 500 miles to come to concerts here.

People don't think of Austin as a center for classical music, but we have what I recall is the only 100% listener-supported 24/7 classical music radio station in the US, which has been on the air for over 30 years (they stream their broadcasts now). Oops, that reminds me I need to send them some money. ;D

I'm right there with you on Donald Sutherland.  He's like Sean Connery:  hotter as he gets older!
