Alex Britti, Joe Cocker & Pavarotti

I do not know where to get this, if anyone knows....advise me.  For all Joe Cocker fans, he travels in some pretty high company! 

Teach me Tonight

Collectors, this is probably the best version of Teach me Tonight... and she is going to be hard to find....Make Love to Me was another great hit.

Enya - (2000) A Day Without Rain - 04 Tempus Vernum

Music of now....Enya, Tempus Vernum...
great listening!

Dinah Washington Teach Me Tonight

 Collectors   be sure you don't miss this one Dinah Washington,  before it is too late!

"My Foolish Heart" singer Billy Eckstine

another collector album that might be hard to get, so try and find the songs by Billy that defined the 50's...on an album as soon as you can.

Billy Eckstine - I Apologise

Another collector album....This album is getting harder and harder to get, Amazon says they do not have the song....maybe you will have to go looking on the net.  It is dynamite singing by a crooner that does not get enough attention.  He was really fabulous for us!

Buddy Holly - True Love Ways

 Introducing you to Buddy Holly he  had a monster hit with this song... you at least need an album of Buddy Holly if you are building a collection of the best songs ever...Buddy Holly Songs: Buddy Holly Discography, Not Fade Away, Peggy Sue, That'll Be the Day, True Love Ways, Bo Diddley, Brown Eyed Handsome Man

You have to have Peggy Sue!  There is a diner off Route 10 in one of the desert states, named Peggy Sue's diner, all 50's style , posters, and food....a fun place to stop if you drive across country....Rent a Motor home if you are going to do it, bring your own bathroom, be smart!

The Forgotton Garden by Kate Morton

Here is a book I could not put down.  I reached a point where I could no longer read my factual novels.  Burnout!  So went looking for something thick to travel with.  Oops!  The suspense is so good, that I read aprx two thirds of the novel last night , to page 389

I wanted to go to sleep but pushed on....there were some blahs, where I did some speed reading, you know checking the first sentence, glancing the paragraph, (they could have been omitted)  but the desire to continue was there!  I am going to finish the book today, I know that!  I have two others to start on for the week, just relax novels, fun and no pondering why this or that.

The Forgotten Garden, is story that will glue you to the book, it changes scenes, and has space, from England to Australia and back.  It has morals to think about, and it focuses on different characters in different time periods, so it meets all the requirements of a good novel, while you wonder about the mystery in the book.  Who is Nan, where did she come from?  She was found on the dock in Austrailia at 4 years old.

She did not know she was a foundling , but when she discovered that she fell apart and so begins the quest to solve the mystery!  It is a clever plot, well thought out....a beach read!

Looking for Ancestors/

Ancestry.com is a great place to start...on line and then you can delve deeper with databases if you need to...

We found our great grandparents who immigrated to the United States in 1900, with their children and children's spouses, if married.  We found all the birth dates of aunts and uncles.  It is a fun project, because you can see how hard they worked to earn passage money.  All of the maternal family came as laborers and most likely all were stone masons, they settled in New Haven ,Connecticut,

Towns are going crazy!

 Real Estate is in bad shape.....but the towns are not able to figure it out...!!!  Instead of encouraging new construction to keep people employed, and bring in taxes, they are increasing the fees to builders, some of them are outrageous, and will be challenged, costing the towns more money to defend themselves in court.

The cost of building roads, is going up big time....try 30% or more...

The cost of all goods and supplies will sky rocket if oil continues to be on an upward climb.
Work in Framingham, Natick , Metrowest area.....do yourself a favor....

The Winner Stands Alone

Finally finished!  Paulo Coelho characters are hard to leave.  In this book the character that moves the book is evil, and not likeable for any reason.  I was tempted to abandon the book, because I do not like to read about evil.  However, I stayed with it, because Coelho has much to say about the social condition, and I like his comments peppered through the narrative about our universal concerns.  If you like Paulo Coehlo, it is worth reading.   The underside of life at the Cannes film festival, is probably worth knowing, because we all see if for glitz and glamour, when it is really a place where everyone goes to be seen, be used, and to be promoted, or to promote products, films, directors and actors.  It is a world that is far too unattainable for the ordinary, and a lesson for young girls dreaming of stardom.  The span of opportunity according to Coehlo, is very short, so girls especially have to sacrifice and take chances, while disappointment , is around every corner.  It is but a segment of life in the real world, that is based on beauty, unreality, and rariefied air.

Sam Cooke You Send Me

How can any of us who lived this song, forget it...what a major hit!  For my high school friends, Lorraine Levandosky and Barbara Volpicelli
