Q: Title: Dear Mr. President Review: All I can say is that it's very sad that this cd is not in every Rocker's collection. I originally came across Dear Mr. President on cassette in a pawn shop back in 1989 and baught it for $1.00. I'd never heard of this band, but for the price, I couldn't lose.From the moment I pushed play, I loved this band! Problem was, I then wanted it on CD, but couldn't find it anywhere. No one had heard of them!Now, thanks to today's technology, I got it here at Amazon.com, and it's one of my favorite CD's in my HUGE collection.If you read this review, and you like 80's Rock and Roll, YOU MUST GET THIS CD!

Q: Title: Heavy breathing? Review: Okay, two stars for this work isn't really fair... but I just want people to be aware that through most of this disc, you can hear the performer breathing. It's very low-pitch, and always seems to happen during the crescendos of the music. Another reviewer likened it to a 'hum'... I disagree... a constant hum wouldn't bother me at all, but the intermittent gutteral sounds drive me up the wall. Couldn't they have digitally edited that out? As for the music on the disc, it's excellent (5 stars). Call me paranoid, but I find myself focusing on the breathing, and it really jars me. I've found the only time I can listen to this disc is when I'm in my car, and the drone of the road (hey, I drive a Civic) cancels out the breathing noises. Then I love this disc.

Q: Title: As Good As Her First Review: RIP Ms. Reiner... but your music lives on. I reviewed her first compilation of Tin Pan Alley and American Songbook songs and this cd carries on its strengths and weaknesses. Strenghs: it's got lots of ukulele, is wonderfully produced with lots of variety and never overpowers her passable playing. There are lots of fun old songs that go well with ukulele.(I have methodically gone through both cd's working up songs for our ukulele club....) Weaknesses: her voice. I do not mean to be unkind but it is that of an older woman who has lost whatever chops she may have had. That's a minor issue for the quality of tune selection, her enthusiasm and the quality of the studio musicians--reminds me of what Nelson Riddle did for the trio of Linda Ronstadt American Songbook albums.

Q: Title: Not For The Serious CNC Builder Review: I was hoping for a book that would give usefull information on the compoments and construction of a quality CNC router. This book didn't even come close. This is a documentation of cobbeling together a make-shift CNC router and does not give any real info on how to choose components or lay out and build a serious machine.If, like me, you are looking for detailed help on choosing linear motion components, stepper or servo motors and controllers, and how to design and build a machine that can approximate the quality of the pre-built routers costing $10,000 and up this is NOT the book for you. Don't waste your money! Is the review positive or negative?
