Vera Lynn - A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square 1940
Vera will always be the angel of the Second World War...
Mel Torme w/ John Colianni - "A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square", 1994
Absolutely gorgeous such control, such beauty with his voice...
The Folks Who Live On The Hill - Mel Torme.wmv
There are some songs that only certain people can give meaning to. I think that Mel has one of the best versions of this song.

Magical Healing Mantra: Om Mani Padme Hum
This is very nice, I like it better than the first singing bowls
The Music of the Spheres (Tibetan Singing Bowls, played by Jack Haas)
It sounds similar to the sounds of the universe, mediation music

once more, I will introduce you to Father Tiso, the Rainbow Body is fascinating....if we found the God Particle, is it possible, that sound and color make up the particle in a holograph, that we all agree on that causes matter to form....okay, I am dreaming...but it is fun!

NewsDaily: Cosmic discovery week ahead for science, perhaps a little more teasing on the Higgs Boson, which will become even more public on July 4! A day for fireworks!
XAVIER CUGAT - ABBE LANE nel film "Donatella" (1956)
How could we forget Xavier Cougat and his famous singers....
Silvana Mangano *** Non dimenticar
My parents never taught us to speak their Italian language. Even though I could not understand the words, this was one of my favorites. On Sunday afternoon, in my home town of Framingham, Mass., Guido Oliva and his daughter,
Pearl Oliva, had the Italian Hour on radio stationWKOX, we listened and sang along with great Italian love songs and their famous singers.

Pink Martini - Anna (El Negro Zumbon).avi
Here is a new version of an old song from the movie, Anna. A great film of the past.
Rita Hayworth Sway Dancing
I saw Rita Hayworth films all the time as a young person. She was absolutely beautiful, mesmerizing all of us!
Sway - Rosemary Clooney & Perez Prado Orchestra (W-CLIP DANCING).wmv
Rosemary Clooney has a better version of Sway, in my opinion. You can hear Rosemary Clooney on Sirisuly Sinatara chann3l 21 Sirius radio, along with many of the great jazz singers. My favorite station.
Julie London - SWAY
This is interesting, over one million people have seen this, and Julie London is never heard by me on the radio? Think about it, Julie London, a big star years ago, can get a million hits and still not be brought to our market today? What is it? There are many reasons, I am not sure this is her best hit...for example, maybe it is not the type of music we want to hear in today's market, and more?
NAT KING COLE - NIGHT LIGHTS
The great Nat King Cole, he was one of my favorite singers along with Billy Eckstein...all day long this record would spin around when I was home with my record player!
Gerry Mulligan - Night Lights
I used to love Night Lights by Nat King Cole, I will see if I can find it. In thinking about Youtube and the way it proliferates, I am pretty sure that if you are an artist of the past, especially, you would be better off to let the music be shared on Youtube, otherwise who is going to share and enjoy it to keep you alive? Those artists I like to share are oldies for the most part, and who hears today, Jerry Vale, for example, Sergio Franchi, Frankie Laine? We can keep them alive and hopefully help to sell records. I think that the protective veil over Nat King Cole, will be something to watch. I very seldom hear his hits, but, thanks to Siriusly Sinatra, they are still alive....but who has heard his version of Night Lights, lately? What to do, is always a dilemma....and maybe I don't know the answer, but it seems to be....keep the artist alive...especially when I read about the new authors whose books sell for 99cents and bang! They hit the big time....one wonders, it is a different world, isn't it....!

Quincy Jones - Wikipedia, the free ,encyclopedia
Quincy Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I was listening to Siriusly Sinatra on 71 when I heard one of the sons of Rosemary Clooney say that Quincy Jones changed Frank Sinatra's singing tempo from the waltz tempo to the jazz tempo. I always thought it was Nelson Riddle that made the difference, but now, it appears that change in tempo is what made the magic. Quincy Jones was fantastic and contributed so much to the music world, hope you will take the time to appreciate his career, here.

Dinah Washington ft Quincy Jones & His Orchestra - Blue Gardenia (1961)
Sirius Radio causes me to stick on Channel 71, Siriously Sinatra....just love it, the guests do a great job. I just heard this a wonderful song, that deserves to live forever. The sons of Rosemary Clooney talked about their mother, and how she held Sarah Vaughn in high esteem. AJ Lambert the grand daughter of Frank Sinatra, his daughters and son, all have a place on the show. I just heard a Rod Stewart,number, and he is up there on my list of faves.... loved the whole morning of music, not watching and listening to
the news, just listening to great music, as I worked. Multi tasking ...great fun...

TRAILER: Arbitrage (2012) HD Teaser: ENTV
Will the mystery films of the future be about Arbitrage? Will they be about the congressmen who forced the banks to take sub prime mortgages and caused the world financial markets to collapse? Will they be about the gospel shows? Will they be about a distant hero, while men of bravery acted on his command? Will the stories be about the Presidential elections and who can pound who on picayune small slip ups while the world collapses?

Ella Fitzgerald - Don't Be That Way (Original Stereo)
How lucky we were to have Ella singing to us..
Reincarnation and the Transformation of Society, Semkiw
Have you ever notice how things repeat in the world, death and rebirth of plants, trees, the same scenario repeats in society/culture, just the people are different ....who knows in this strange universe we live in...even the universe is repeating?
"Until The Real Thing Comes Along"- INK SPOTS on Rexonola Radiogram
this is what our radios and record players looked like in the 1940's early 1950's
Vera Lynn - A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square 1940
This lady was one of the angels of the 2nd World War, her music helped us all carry the burden of a World War, that seemed to last forever for those of us who were children at the time.
A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square (Manhattan Transfer)
one of my favorite songs and love Manhatten Transfer

Jimmie Lunceford and His Dance Orchestra 1936
i thought this might be fun to pass along for review of what the bands where like
Mel Tillis Live In Branson "Ruby"
Mel Tillis stayed with me, because I was so stunned to learn that he had a terrible stutter, and when he sang he lost the stutter, so I tried it with my student who stuttered in the 6th grade and it worked. Just pass it along to anyone you know that stutters... It is amazing, to see how he overcame a serious problem and became a famous performer and song writer.

Best Trophy Cars, Plus a Truck and Bike - MSN Autos
Best Trophy Cars, Plus a Truck and Bike - MSN Autos Dream a little dream of cars!
Today I heard that the United Nations thinks that the people of the United States should stop spending for certain things...I won't list...or refer, however, what happens to all the workers who make the things they want us to stop buying? Will those workers have jobs, or get laid off when the purchasing stops? Doesn't anyone do any forward thinking before declaring, you should do this, or that...?
What about dreaming and working hard to get something you would love and enjoy using for your short time on this earth? Isn't that what makes trade, commerce? Since the beginning of trade and commerce, it has always been that people have desired or needed certain goods, this fosters trade, commerce and jobs...
Help! this world is crazy sometimes!

Joao Gilberto - "I Wish You Love (Que reste-t-il de nos amours?) (Gloria...
I think that the big hit, was by Nat King Cole, but most if not all of his videos are blocked from sharing and keeping his music alive on YouTube. I wonder if it is good to let them be posted shared and kept alive? It appears that allowing some, if not all, to be shared is good for publicity, but, who knows?
I Wish You Love - Michael Buble
This was a big hit by who?
I have to run back in time and find out. Meanwhile enjoy Michael's version.

(It Will Have To Do) Until The Real Thing Comes Along.wmv
The Ink Spots were everywhere, their voices melted into our consciousness. I never realized they would disappear like all of us do. Movie stars and musicians would live forever, never changing. I guess they do, in their recordings and in the film that still exists.
Billie Holiday - Until the Real Thing Comes Along (1942)
Another presentation , the roots of Amy Winehouse
Till the Real Thing Comes Along Rod Stewart
here us the great Rod Stewart version...and lets go to another oldie version
Frank Sinatra & Quincy Jones - Until The Real Thing Comes Along
I thought that I might play this then Rod Stewart, lets see what happens..
Mary Ford & Les Paul-Just One More Chance Capitol Records
There was music all around us, as we the first teens with cars, cruised the main streets, went to the soda shops and drive in's and this is what we heard coming out of the radios and the juke boxes, and in our portable radios... my new book will be out in a few weeks...talking about growing up in the 40's and early 50's.
FRANK SINATRA- Sky fell down
A great song, recorded in 1940 by Frank Sinatra and Tommy Dorsey, I can hear some of the sultry voices of today doing this song, or even a Sinatra voice or a Torme voice.

The False Allure Of Group Selection | Conversation | Edge
The False Allure Of Group Selection | Conversation | Edge
Finally, a breath of fresh air, it is a long read, but time to listen. The other night I was watching the Science channel, and a researcher, heard his mother say..."We are related to Lizzie Borden, why not research the murderers in our family? There were around 5 or more murderers in his family, I don't recall the number he mentioned. So the research began by viewing the brains of family members and comparing them to those of known murderers who had a certain pattern in their brain. Of all the family members ...you guessed it, the erudite, researcher was the one with the brain pattern of a murderer, He was the only one in the family, and certainly not a murderer.
In interviewing family members they all agreed he had certain traits that were not the greatest, I don't want to use an incorrect word here, he agreed he had traits that were not pleasing, but, in all of this he learned that his upbringing, a happy childhood had overcome his genetic traits. I bring this up here, because so much depends on mothers and fathers....a happy home made the difference between his being a murderer and a science researcher. So, not the group, but the individuals who make the group, are important.
Don't most groups fall into patterns? Then someone like Hitler steps forward to use crowd psychology.....or somone says follow me, I am right, we will abort girls they are worthless,we only need one per family...we have enough women of the right genetic disposition to take care of our needs
for 20years . The point I think is that human nature has shown itself in collective societies as being freedom bound. History has shown that mores, grow out of taboos, right or wrong...so society will always set boundaries, it is part of human nature. We need to concentrate on growing the individual to his or her greatest potential, so they don't go to gangs and end up in prison. I think it is a tragedy that we don't have schools and apprenticeships for non college bound students. We are not all college bound, nor should we be.
The immigrants that come here to our country show us, that there is more to life than college, there is hard work outside in the fields, that gives people a chance to build strong bodies, there is office work where the brain is used, but you are desk bound, and more prone to bodily aches and pains... so each occupation has its rewards...not all the same. I could go on, but you get the gist of it...We work too hard to give everyone the same opportunity....the words are wrong. The opportunity is here in the USA for all of us to reach our potential, only we are shutting down the non college "kids", who could run great repair shops, carpentry shops, and other societal needs that are growing daily with the new inventions and changing culture. We are our own worst enemy, just getting the kids out of gangs with something interesting and fun that provides a career would be a big step....learning to drive trucks, learning the value of a clean record, so they can get licensed, encouraging them to start a business to be a leader of something good, instead of something negative.

"One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)" Frank Sinatra
Now listen to this, low register, slow timing, and it all comes together...maybe because he lifts the register about mid song...what is the secret?
Ears are the most important part of training, listening to the greats and how they struggled to find the right place, that magic place that made them famous. Louis Armstrong talked his way ...thru songs, right? It was the totality of the package....?

Frank Sinatra - Yesterday (with lyrics)
Now listen to this number, the voice is getting to the higher register....but the timing is ?
Frank Sinatra - Isn't She Lovely ? (Reprise 1979)
The tip for today! Listen to this song if you are a Sinatra like singer....you don't need me to tell you what is wrong...now critique your own music against this, and you will see what you need to do...Maybe he started this a notch too low for his voice. To me, he is singing too low and can't quite get the right place for his voice...this is the difference between a great recording and a so so recording...like all of us, he probably had it with doing it over and over again, but that is what makes excellence. Writing a book is the same thing, it is boring to write it over and over and over, and correct and correct...

Eric Clapton - After Midnight

George Shearing & Mel Torme - Medley At Newport
Imagine going to the Newport Jazz Festival and ....this is your treat! Wow! The King of scat...and when these two teamed up!
Duke Ellington - Satin Doll
each song brings me to another one, they pop up, and I can't help it...this follows the other two
Count Basie - Shiny Stockings
if you liked Me and Mrs Jones, then this fits in the same category! Maybe Michael Buble should try this one...
Michael Bublé - Me And Mrs Jones (Official Music Video)
this song fits his voice and pace. A great one for Michael.
Light My Fire - Jose Feliciano (Doors)
When someone or a couple of artists do a BLOW OUT like this, they make a song so fantastic how can we compete? The Doors and this...how or who can do it better?
Bruce Channel - Hey! Baby
And the record player went round and round all day long, over and over....comon who can do this one again.....how can the kids not like it?
Duprees - You Belong To Me (Original Stereo)
I think I am building an album of songs to bring back, they are so good! They were loved by all of us, they make memories come even if you never traveled to old Algiers, you know what the lyrics meant..
MEL CARTER (Live) - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me
A dynamite song, that can have many faces in its arrangement, who can bring their voice to this today, maybe James Torme? Doesn't music paint a picture, in sound? It calls forth from your experience. Don't we all love a great love song?
The Skyliners - Since I Don't Have You
One of my all time favorites you can see by the views that this song has great appeal...it needs a new voice....from one of our new young male singers. It deserves to live for another generation.
The Platters - Glory of Love
This song speaks for itself as being worthy of revival, by a great voice with a wonderful arranger...maybe K.D. Lang could make this a hugh hit, with her voice.
Lionel Richie - All Night Long
This song was made for Lionel richie, he has it all together for this number. You wouldn't believe the day I had, what a relief to have fun with music!
Huey Lewis - The Power Of Love
Another guaranteed hit, everyone went back to the 20;s for hits in the 40;s and 50;s , why not bring music back with some of the great hits of the past.
Dinah Washington - I Wanna Be Loved -
I could have put her version of You Send Me, up, but this song was a drop dead hit , and I can't remember anyone having a bigger hit with it than her.
Lenny Welch - Since I Fell For You (Original Stereo)
I think this is the version, that all of us went crazy for, when this record was first released. Over and over it played on the record player!
Jose Feliciano - Since I Fell For You
you have to put this presentation up there with the best of them....
AL JARREAU - Since I Fell for You (Best of Al Jarreau)
Oldie but goody, guaranteed to get you accolades at a dinner club, or somewhere where you change the pace....
George Benson - Beyond the Sea (Live Montreux 1986)
some people have talent that is overwhelming, George Benson, is one that just sends me. Just listen to his voice, the arrangement is fantastic...Mel Torme was another .who could do no wrong, in my ears... just about everything he chose to record was right for him....
This song, everything about it , is right for George Benson, you can feel him completely absorbed in his presentation......

Dinah Washington: What Difference A Day Makes
This was one fabulous song...still is...for her voice, the arrangement, all is JUST RIGHT
Dinah Washington - If I Could Be With You (One Hour Tonight)
No, it was not Dinah either, I am puzzled, because it was this type of voice, got to keep thinking....Just recognizing voices helps you find your place in music..
Dinah Washington - Teach Me Tonight - JazzAndBluesExperience
See where Amy Winehouse got it? Dinah was absolutely wonderful, enjoy this while I find the other song.
Della Reese - "If I Could Be With You One Hour Tonight"
I just heard this on Seriously Sinatra, it said, Rosemary Clooney...no way....it had to be Della Reese or maybe Dinah Washington, got to check her out next...This is a great arrangement...gonna check Dinah now..
Churchill: The Power of Words
During the Second World War, there was one man who stood out, to all of us, whether British, or American...he spoke our language and he spoke it eloquently! John Kennedy was to have said. "He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle."
Churchill says that school was boring, because he wanted to learn not syntax for example but he wanted to jump into the meat of things. When we learn to speak our native language, we learn from example, and master the language slowly with use and exposure to words, to reading and excitement about the world. A master teaches through his words and his observations. I ordered it on my Kindle today.
