The Song is considered to be one of the most difficult arias ever written for a soprano. And yet she makes it look so easy, and with such power.
And she was only 17 years old when she performed it.
“Running On Empty” - Jackson Browne
US Billboard Hot 100: Peaked at #11, spending 17 weeks on the chart.
Browne wrote the song while driving back and forth to the studio during the making of his previous album The Pretender (1976). https://t.co/WnrCg1i7De
Duncan Davitt with a start for the #Knights on Thursday. He tosses 4 scoreless innings allowing just 2H and 1BB. He strikes out 2 on 35k/54p. He does not qualify for the decision in the Charlotte 16-1 drubbing of the Shrimps.
FIELD OF DREAMS was released 36 years ago today.
The dreamy fog effect in the iconic “Is this heaven?” scene was completely unplanned. Nobody created it on set or in post production. It just appeared while they were filming and they decided to go with it.
@TheCinesthetic Completely true. A close friend, Mark Martens, was a lighting tech for the film. He swore to it. He said the fog was an amazing gift and that time of year and the cool of the evening caused it. He grew up on a farm near Prole, Iowa. Mark is gone now… He is still missed.
@NWLbaseball@waterloobucks@MLB@whitesox Amy and I enjoyed Duncan’s time with the Bucks. Our experience with the Northwoods was rewarding and memorable. The Bucks offer a professional and fun atmosphere. The fan have fun and know their baseball.

Duncan Davitt pitches a scoreless eighth for the White Sox, with a nice play by Colson Montgomery starting a double play against Maikel Garcia. It was the most effective MLB inning thrown to date by a sports writer: https://t.co/Fd8dtDEuzJ
White Sox RHP Duncan Davitt wrote the story for his hometown paper in Indianola about his own promotion to the big leagues: "It was kind of surreal because obviously a lot of emotions go into that kind of thing. So, it was an interesting..."
When you’re a sportswriter in the winter and a baseball player in the summer, you get to do cool things, like write about your own big-league promotion.
Iowan Duncan Davitt did just that.

Meryl Streep: The SAVE America Act, if that passes, all the married women that have changed their names are going have to go to the registrar and prove who they are. Otherwise, when you get to the voting booth in November, you might be disqualified, because your name on your birth certificate doesn't match the name on the voting rolls. I think that women need to be heard
