Aspen rugby still savoring national title
For Simon Dogbe and the rest of the young members of the Gentlemen of Aspen, the stories about the glory days of the town?s rugby club were, as Dogbe put it, frankly getting a little old.
?I came here in 2001 and was one of the young guys when we were still winning Super League titles,? Dogbe said. ?Ever since those days, it?s always been the same thing. The old boys are very vocal about winning so many times, and how Aspen used to be this great club.?

Review: The flying fingers of Edgar Meyer and Chris Thile
ASPEN ? Edgar Meyer?s annual string bass recital at the Aspen Music Festival is always among the most highly anticipated events of the year. He can make the bass sing like a cello or spew out notes as fast as a violin, then suddenly descend to the instrument?s depths for an exclamation point. Other bass players just blink in wonder. Wednesday at Harris Hall he shared the stage with Chris Thile, a mandolin player with similarly amazing chops.
