Della Reese - A Hundred Years from Today
Just cruising around, it was hard to find, there was Frank Sinatra, Joe Williams, Ethel Waters, Joni James....and this is the first one that caught my attention as the closest to the voice for this song....but then Della is fabulous
A Hundred Years From Today - Black Book Soundtrack [HD]
Need a great movie and can't think of one...this is wonderful, maybe you can find it on amazon prime.
A Hundred Years From Today ..... Maxine Sullivan 1986
Maxine still had a great voice, and has one of the best arrangements of this song...Want a hit song? There is something about this song, that dictates it a hit. but it is for your voice? I think it suits a Dean Martin male voice, or Mel Torme type voice. and a husky voice woman who can make it sultry, Julie London style... I know Rod Stewart could do it....
Lee Wiley - A Hundred Years from Today - 1934 interesting photos
I lovc this song, and was looking for different versions, when I came across this interesting group of childhood pictures. Hedy Lamarr was one of the greatest beauties, but not one of the most beautiful of the children, in my estimation

Louis Prima - Sing,Sing,Sing (With a Swing)
This is a great idea of what it was like....you can even see the garters that girls had to wear to hold up the nylons, before girdles, then the awful girdles move in....oh, awful....

Madeleine Peyroux - J'ai Deux Amours
Madeleine Peyroux is going to be a big, big hit.....if she keeps picking great songs...., I would love to hear her with K.D. Lang on a great song...lets see, what would be special...?
getting some fun out of life, madeleine peyroux
Wow! Where have I been, this is a great song, and I just heard it on Seriously Sinatra the other day..... I think that Madeleine Peyroux is fabulous...as an artist, don't you?
Manhattan Transfer Blue Champagne
Oh, such great music, they were the best, they picked great songs...that counts so much.
Laurel Massé - Scotch and Soda / Manhattan Transfer 1977
this was a big hit, back in the 40's , 50's, and reminds me of the Maridor,on Route 9 that lounge was the place to go for years....
Bert Kaempfert - A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square (1965)
another favorite, and I thought Bert kaempfert would be a treat....hardly anyone knows him today, but he was big...in the 50's, and this is typical of the 50's horn sound. It reminds me of a night at the Totem Pole....which was our dream date in those days!
Manhattan Transfer - On a little street in Singapore 1978
just feel like some great music tonight, imagine way back to 1978,,,,and it is great!~

Marty Robbins Singing 'Room Full Of Roses.'
A time to sit and say thank you to the Rose's in our lives, whether their names were Rose, or Karen, or Angie, Maggie, Theresa, Anita, Grace, Mary and I could go on....
Boots Randolph ~ So Rare
Earl Bostic swept me off my feet with the saxophone and it always remains one of my favorite instruments. Here is one of the great saxophone players of my day.
Blue Moon - Rod Stewart
Rod Stewart has some of the best arrangements, take this song for instance, it is just beautiful, and he is generous with his appreciation for those that accompany him, just love this guitar! Gorgeous presentation, Rod, we thank you....
Frequency, by Penny Pierce, a wonderful book for people that are always looking to learn, improve and grow....
This review is from: Frequency: The Power of Personal Vibration (Paperback)
My inner self spoke to me, each time i went back to pick up where I left off. Why I asked, aren't we teaching this in the lower grades, so that children growing up in good or especially bad circumstances can understand that life is welcoming and loving and no matter the present circumstances, you are empowered to make it better. What an injustice we do ourselves to deprive our children of the knowledge that we are vibrating, as is everything around us.
The facts of vibration , the levels , the types of things that vibrations can do, are still so poorly understood. Just this week, people on facebook were incredulous that grains of salt can move with the vibrations of music. How would our world change if we took the lessons of science and started to reach down to elementary school with the magic of our reality. If we continue to focus on matter and ignore our electrical, vibrational essence, we teach children that matter is all that counts.
I personally think that this book is a "bible" of how to react to good and bad circumstances, how to approach our desires and their fulfillment, and how to be a better marriage partner, parent, and "boss". You can not just jump in and practice what Penny Pierce preaches, because you are a creature of habit, but each day you take a step in the direction you want to reach, as you would as you learned to walk, and talk.
From the start I felt that this book would be helpful to people who deal with the demons of addiction, split personality and other problems, since it is giving hope that a personal mantra, an understanding of why we have to face trials, sadness, failure, and falls. It holds out hope that there is something to reach for, for all of us, no matter how the cards are dealt at our birth.
Understanding how the past affects the future, how a Mom or Dad, can color the future of their child and how that child is reacting to the lessons learned at home, are all easily recognized.
This book is like a counselor that you can see when you want to, just by choosing your chapter and sinking into the lessons , by examining your own life, how you got where you are, and do you want to change it, or understand and improve it?
Carolyn Myss is another teacher, Anatomy of the Spirit: The Seven Stages of Power and Healing was one of my favorite books. I have to say that Penny Pierce has gone beyond, by focusing on what everyone avoids (the real world of vibrations)is making it easy for us to do self improvement.

Tony Bennett - Isn't It Romantic
Tony Bennett one of the best voices....listen then
listen to thisjphnny mathis
two great voices both doing a great job.....
now this.....Michael Feinstein
One of these arrangements sticks, comes back to me in his voice all the time....There are songs made for certain voices, and the great voices do a good job, but one voice stands out...either the voice or the arrangement.
In this case,
Michael Feinstein, is my favorite how about you?

"Unbroken",A new and fabulous book
Today is most appropriate to post this as it addresses the trail of fright, terror, and utter despair our fighting men endured in the 2nd World War ( and in any war). We face the loss today of a man ,Robin Williams,who made us laugh and now cry because he gave up! How do these events intermingle? The wonderful Billy Graham saved our hero in "Unbroken" how many of us are that fortunate?
Words and ideas escape us ,we feel helpless with people in despair and depression, but they do laugh, and smile at times, so somewhere behind and deep below that sadness is the spark of their soul. Maybe as a society we need to put forth more positive movies, music , etc, books that illustrate the magic and hope in the worlds specially for the young souls, teens and young adults so they know redemption is a given.
Watching " The Egyptian" yesterday ,a movie ( and book of the 50's ) the difference between our present culture and then was so apparent. "Unbroken" and "The Egyptian",both show how we can redeem ourselves from the darkest days. Children need to learn young that they can face life bravely even when they make big mistakes and that redemption is possible because it brings peace.
"Unbroken" just released has over 10,000 reviews on Amazon including mine. It was and is a book of the year. A book that illustrates what our culture of the late 40's and 50's produced, and how this "MAN " handled his life with incredible stamina, bravery, and forgiveness when it seemed no one could ever forgive such atrocious brutality
Our precious souls need more attention in the early growing stages ,don't you agree?

Nomination for the Nobel Prize, confirming inflationary model of the universe....
Astronomers have discovered traces of gravitational waves in the relict radiation, confirming the inflationary model of the universe. As stated by leading scientists around the world, this long-awaited finding will soon be nominated for the Nobel Prize.
The announcement of the discovery about of new evidence supporting the inflationary model of the universe caused an unprecedented excitement in the scientific world.
The central idea of this model states that our universe is only one “unit” in an infinite and ever-expanding set of unrelated parallel universes which form the so-called multiverse.
The existence of the multiverse is suggested by other theories such as string theory and by such fields of theoretical physics as quantum mechanics.
“If there is inflation, then there is multiverse. Any proof of inflation brings us closer to verifying the existence of the multiverse,” says Andrei Linde, author of the theory of cosmic inflation and Professor of Physics at Stanford University.
The researchers claim to have managed to detect a celestial signal arising from the ultra-fast expansion of the universe after a split second after the Big Bang.
Of course, the results should be double-checked by independent experts, but world-renowned scientists do not doubt their authenticity. Most likely, the authors of this work will soon be nominated for the Nobel Prize in physics.
The results were obtained by the American group of researchers working on the BICEP2 project. They processed the data of the radio telescope at the South Pole, which is continuously recording celestial signals.
The scientists were trying to find some traces of the inflation of the universe, i.e. the exponential expansion of space just after the Big Bang.
The inflationary universe model suggests the appearance of giant gravitational waves directly after the birth of the world, which should leave a trace in the relic microwave radiation, which has long been discovered by astronomers.
These were the traces, i.e. polarization of the magnetic mode (B- mode) of radiation, that were discovered by the researchers during the BICEP2 experiment. Only gravitational waves resulting from inflationary phase of expansion of the universe could leave such a mark in the CMB.
Gravitational waves were predicted by Albert Einstein 100 years ago in his famous general theory of relativity (GTR). Thus, in addition, the scientists managed to get one more convincing proof of general relativity.
“The discovery gives us unprecedented opportunities in a completely new field of physics, which will explore the phenomena that occurred immediately after the Big Bang,” said Professor John Kovac, head of the BICEP2 group.
The most amazing thing is that the traces discovered in the signal were much stronger than the scientists expected, which allows them to automatically exclude a number of theories in the inflationary universe model.
