Urgent: Click here for the latest information about the CFCF Babylon 5 letter writing campaign!

I believe I have trapped all the spelling errors and again brought most of this page up to date. I am trying to add some CGI scripts to this page, and because of the security-conscious system staff here, I am forced to build them on my PC. Thus, I have put a complete copy of the http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~timelord site on my PC through which I will do most of my twiddling before uploading the finished product back here. Since the IP address of my PC is dynamically allocated, I have set up a dynamic link to my mirror which updates every 5 minutes, or you can finger me at timelord@maggie.cs.mcgill.ca, timelord@marge.cs.mcgill.ca or timelord@binkley.cs.mcgill.ca to find out what the current address of my PC's WWW server (try all three finger addresses if one does not give a response). As always, please direct any comments or suggestions via e-mail to Jeffrey Jacobs, timelord@binkley.cs.mcgill.ca. I look forward to hearing from you.

Other Points of Interest

Music

Rock 'n Roll

The Zombies.

My dear friend Alexander Dziejma introduced me to the Zombies 3 years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. Odessey and Oracle is thrilling to listen to even after the 100th time, for such pieces as This Will Be Our Year and Beechwood Park.

Sheryl Crow.

I woke up to the sound of music one morning a few months back to a song that I would soon hear again many times. All I Wanna Do came to be my theme during my first trip to Los Angeles last December, and every morning it was played on the Radio, I was refreshed and ready to face the day ahead. Eventually, I purchased Tuesday Night Music Club, and thus I was introduced to a shining beacon in a sea of corporate rock. In no time at all, I was listening to such songs as We Do What We Can, Solidify and What I Can Do for You with equal volume as my first introduction to her. Sheryl Crow will be performing in Montréal the last week of March, a concert I look forward to with bells on.

Jimi Hendrix.
Electric Ladyland.
Jimi Hendrix Server.

I have always loved psychedelic rock, and no-one exemplifies it more than Jimi. Above are the sites dedicated to Jimi that I could find on the 'net.

Tom Petty.

Tom Petty and George Harrison have been friends for years, each greatly influencing the others music. Tom Petty was also a member of the Traveling Wilburys. His gritty, slice-of-life musical style is inimitable, and a great joy of mine. I am still looking for a Tom Petty home page, and will set one up here if none exist, such is my love of his music.

Eric Clapton.
461 Ocean Boulevard.
Eric Clapton.
Eric Clapton - From the Cradle.
The Reason Why - Sampled solos and other assorted Clapton riffs.

The 'Clapper is one of George Harrison's oldest friends and accompanied him on many of his hits, most notably While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Despite George's first wife Patty leaving him for Eric, they have all remained on relatively good terms. The tragedy of Clapton's son's death touched the worlds heart, and spawned perhaps his greatest hit, Tears in Heaven. His sincere, gentle, emotive style makes Ol' Slow Hands an artist I enjoy listening to again and again.

The Bangles

One of the first groups I became interested in were these four woman from California. Although not one of the more creative or prolific groups, they have a pleasant beat and a simplistic style which is nice for when one desires to just hear music rather than listen to such classics as Walk Like an Egyptian and Eternal Flame.

Music of the Twentieth Century

George Gershwin

An American original, George Gershwin is a composer whose works I would rank among those of George Harrison and Antonio Vivaldi. Although I am not particularly fond of his musicals, An American in Paris, Rhapsody in Blue, and Concerto in F for Piano And Orchestra are great pieces of music in any right.

Scott Joplin

To correspond with the creation of rec.music.ragtime, I have created this link to one of my all-time favorite composers. My introduction to the ``King of Rag'' was on the same day as I met my long-time friend, Alexander Dziejma. Ironically, my first Joplin, or Jop Scotland as I affectionately call him, was also his first published work, The Great Crush Collision. Since then, I have grown to love all of Joplin's work, especially Original Rags, Peacherine Rag, Harmony Club Waltz, and Solice. I hope to create links to the home page of the new Ragtime newsgroup in the near future as I discuss with the groups originator an appropriate place for it.

Mississippi Mike

This particular Blues turned classical musician has special meaning to me, as he is my brother, Michael Clifford Jacobs. Mike hasn't actually written any complete music, but is able to pick up any tune he hears like that. Even though he got a late start on the guitar, he has greatly made up for it with diligence and practice to become an artist I respect and enjoy. Mike is currently attempting to pursue a career in music education.

Classical and Baroque

Antonio Vivaldi

Antonio Vivaldi is by far one of the greatest composers of all human history, second only in my quite humble opinion to George Harrison. Whether he was a Mad Monk after all remains to be heard, given his rich, vibrant sounds which were quite ahead of their time for his period. He was quite a man to see too, sometimes know as the Flaming Redhead for his unmistakable red locks. Justifiably best know for Le Quattro Stagione, any one of his many concertos are enough to make any head spin with delight.

Johann Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach is the kind of composer who possesses a little bit of everything. The Brandenburg Concertos are world-renowned for their full, rich flavor. My favorites of Bach's work are certainly his organ pieces, such as Toccata and Fugue in D minor and Sleepers, Wake!

Richard Wagner

Wagner's powerful operas are not for the light of heart. Their fiery zest and fortitude are what I like best about Wagner. One cannot listen to Wagner, however, without remembering his anti-semitism. It is a shame such beautiful music has been soiled with the evil of the Third Reich. Wagner's great grandson now gives lectures on the anti-semitic aspects of his ancestor's music, and is a quite charming, eloquent speaker. I would advise anyone to hear him speak if ever given the chance. However, if you can't find him anywhere in your neighborhood, you might try Daniel Sterner, a foremost authority on the music of Wagner.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Mozart is one of the most prolific composers of all time, and has influenced every song writer ever since. He wrote more symphonies than you could shake a stick at, and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is truly a beautiful piece of music.

Ludwig van Beethoven

It is amazing, the sweet, sensitive music this man composed even when he had become deaf. Whether you appreciate his 9 great symphonies, or his beautiful sonatas and other great piano pieces, such as Moonlight Sonata and Für Elise, the ol' Ludwig van is a hallmark or the Baroque music period.

Science Fiction

The X Files
The X-Files.

The truth is out there. My father first turned me on to this series during its first season, before it was broadcast in Montréal. When they finally picked it up Fridays at midnight, I had to find out what all the fuss was about. I was very much not disappointed.
