PhlebasII, do you remember your dad talking about that one guy on the forum who was borderline genius, that everyone loved because of his gift of tact and diplomacy, and never said a harsh word to anyone?

Flaming Asshole Recipe:

1/2 oz grenadine syrup
1/2 oz green creme de menthe
1/2 oz creme de bananes
1/2 oz overproof rum

Layer in this order: grenadine, creme de menthe, banana liqueur, white rum. Ignite rum before serving. Server with a straw.

Serve in: Shot Glass

A really minty, fruity taste, the banana is subtle and the grenadine adds just enough sweetness. Try it!

I remember him, he was an interesting and intelligent poster. The board is poorer for his absence.

:wave: A very warm welcome to you! Of course I remember your dad. He always struck me as an incredibly intelligent, well rounded person. He knew so much about so many things, and had thoughtful, insightful, comments on a huge variety of issues. What I remember, and miss the most was his delicious sense of humour. I bet he was a terrific dad.

I hope you stick around; really lovely to see you here, and to have the opportunity to reminisce about Phlebas.

I thought we had a deal on the board where we wouldn't use our real pictures!

I miss him. It was always interesting to know what he thought about stuff. Plus the musical talent was darned impressive.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

Hey Phlebas2 - there are two people that don't post much anymore that may have a video of your dad playing the Ravel at my party. I'll reach out to them and see if I can post a copy.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

Here's the video clip. It's only 10 seconds long, but you can hear how well he plays the piece.




If you're not familiar with the piece, here's a full clip from Jean-Yves Thibaudet. It takes a hell of a lot of piano technique to play this.

Oh - that's me listening intently. Forgive all the Philistines running around chatting in the presence of such glorious playing. :)


Got some pictures too from a different piano party, I'll post them at the other site I linked you to.

I did not know Phlebas but to be remembered as he has been is a true tribute to his life. It has been said that in passing when some go it is like turning off a TV set. Some are remembered from time to time by only those closest to them. To be remembered by those who have not met a person and to have their ideas, thoughts, things they have done retold and emulated is a life well lived. What a father you must have had.

Very well said.

Phlebas was a fine person. I greatly respected his comments and contributions to this place. His presence is sorely missed.

Indeed... I enjoyed his postings, and yes, we are poorer for his absence. My condolences to you. Please stick around! :-) :wave:
