hula hula surf music Hawaiian
Maybe in another life, I was a surfer in the Pacific Islands...one of the most beautiful sights is to see the surfers and the pipeline.

Gorgeous music, it tingles my throat, and he is 90 years old....where does this come from?
Chet Atkins, Les Paul "Moonglow/Picnic"
Another great song from the past, but, the artists performing, are the ones who make this special
Soft Summer Breeze By Eddie Heywood
this is a wonderful rendition, and Liberace had a great version. I wish I could find it, it has to be in my record collection somewhere.
Aleph by Paulo Coelho
When you read Coehlo, you go on a soul journey. This is not one of his best books, in my estimation, but I stuck with it, and came away with the best way to describe life to young people who are still learning.the hard way. His analogy of a train is a wonderful way to describe to young people the way life is.
Imagine life as a train and a train car you are riding in, any time you want to change that car, it is within you to be able to get up and walk into the next car, and the next car and so on. What a good way to say it! You can choose your car, your travel mates, etc. Books like this , which cause us to examine our lives are a wonderful way to relax and try to understand the why and what of life. They often help you to analyze what is happening and why you are bringing sad events into your life, that you can control by your choices.
Can we all go on a long journey in real life and discover the answers to our questions, I think not. The train trip is also an analogy of life itself, as a long journey, that leads us to meet people, and someone in that crowd of people, if we give him or her time to know us , has answers for our soul, if we want to stop and try to discover , try to understand, etc. How often will any of us ever get this opportunity? Maybe never in this life time, and then maybe through introspection you realize that someone was a motivator in your life, sacrificing his or her own life to give you a lesson that awakens your soul. Maybe this is hard to understand, but I tried in my book, Secrets of the Heart, to say this, under cover of stories from different people, about events that happened in their lives.
So, if you want to spend some time with your soul try a little Coelho.

Warsaw Concerto
when I was about 12 babysitting for my cousin Bob, I found this beautiful music on a 78 record at his home and thought it was a classical composition. What a surprise to find out that it was written for a movie. I cried, I lived a scene that each note in the piano called out to me, and even wrote a paper for school based on the music
Tony Bennett & Amy Winehouse - Body And Soul
Yeah, Amy looks good here, and sounds wonderful, better than Billie Holliday....
Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga - The Lady Is A Tramp
Lady Gaga, with the "King" Tony Bennett, his son and he were interviewed by Piers Morgan and thanks to his son, he renewed his wonderful career with these duets, and they are really great for the most part. I love the one with K.D. Lang, now on to Amy Winehouse and Tony.
