No Karaoke Here - OAKLAND'S ALLEY 50 YEARS Strong with Original Piano Player
Last King of the Piano Bars?
Rod Dibble Still Tickling Them 50 Years Later
When one passes by the Alley on Grand Ave in Oakland, CA you hardly notice the place. It's always looked kind of dingy from the outside. Come to think of of it, it's pretty dingy-looking on the inside, too,but the good kind of dingy.
As a kid growing up in Oakland , the Alley was all but ignored as a place for older folks, with a bohemian bent- weirdos back then . Over the years the neighbor hood changed -especially the parallel-running Lakeshore Ave, where perhaps only 1 or two original businesses remain

Hollywood Icons Curtis and Fisher Pass Same Week
Stars Eddie Fisher and Tony Ccurtis Pass Same Week
Two of the biggest Hollywood stars passed within a week of each other, first Eddie Fisher at 82 and then Tony Curtis (aka Bernie Schwartz) at 85. Though Fisher was known more for his singer and Curtis for his acting, they probably became better known in later years for their off screen exploits - following similar life paths winding their ways through ' booze and broads.'
They were both sons of Jewish immigrants and had to overcome the challenges of anti-semitism and poverty, no easy feat for sons of immigrants. As similar

PHIL SPECTOR CASE BRINGS BRINGS MUSIC BACK WITH NEW DOCUMENTARY
GENE PITNEY - EVERY LITTLE BREATH I TAKE click here TINA TURNER - River Deep Mountain High
NEW FILM DOMUMENTARY: The Agony and Ecstacy of Phil Spector
Phil Spector is a pioneer of American music, a legendary producer to John Lennon and Tina Turner, and, as of April 13th 2009, a convicted murderer. Yet the Spector who appears in Vikram Jayanti's documentary is not the severe, outlandishly coiffed defendant seen in sensationalistic accounts of his trial, but a charming, savvy music executive with a generous, but arguably accurate, estimation of his place in the history of popular music.
