The Language of God, Francis Collins

This is a fabulous book, especially for those of us that have faith.  Richard Dawkins has gone against Collins , as have many other scientists and he is being shunned for writing this book.  Almost like the dark ages...???

Peggy Lee: A Hundred Years From Today (Washington / Young) - Recorded No...

what a sound! Peggy Lee's best song in my opinion is "Lover." no one can present it the way she does. Her song selection was not the best for her voice, I would have loved to hear more songs that suited her husky sound, like Chris Connor.

Glen Miller Video Biography (1992) part 1

This says it all, the outdoor dancing with the Glen Miller band, "At Last", it calls back an era, a time when we all gasped in recognition that our great band leader was lost on his way to entertain the troops. A time of tears, lets not forget!  My second book is in the works and I am attempting to put the feelings of the war time into words that allow those not alive to experience the mood, the way of life and how we thought and acted in those days.

G I Jive radio show with G I Jill - Program 2255 c.1950

Imagine a night with mist moving in , like it is in New England now. You are waiting for your loved one to come home from the war, or he is in a foreign country dreaming of you, listening to G I Jill or Tokyo Rose. Imagine the feelings, the emtions, the music even had this almost tinny quality.. but the emotions were the same into eternity.

come back to the era of the 2nd world war....

Begin The Beguine - Artie Shaw

Love , love , love Artie Shaw, can see why Ava Gardner married him. His talent must have swept her off her feet!  Buy his collection now if and when you can find it..This is music!

Kate Smith introduces God Bless America

How wonderful it would be if we could keep this song going through our posts til after the next election. Shared sacrifice or shared prosperity. We have to decide, each in our own time and in our own minds...

Jo Stafford - Make Love To Me

Jo Stafford had a wonderful voice, and was one of the biggest stars of her time.

The Ink Spots - I Cover The Waterfront

1940's music, The Ink Spots ruled the air waves, here is a medley is songs that set the mood of the country at the time. There were lots of love songs, songs of yearning for lost loves, like , "I cover the Waterfront". It was a time of heartbreak, that caused such anguish and intense feelings, that even as a child, I can recall the tears of the time.
