Mandelbrot - The Secret Life of Chaos - BBC 4 Preview

 Here we go.....self similarity....in our body, in nature, in the world we create, and the world we try to create...with ideas, that are then restrained by  rules regulations and taxation....Maybe the whole idea I have is to vague to convey, but when listening to this Guru of the technology world, I agreed and disagreed.  Sometimes I wonder if the beauty of science is so captivating that the thought of Socializing and improving the world becomes grander than the rules of nature, of chaos theory, of the fact that every individual has a different path, a different set of genes, of intelligence, a different way to approach his/her purpose on earth...and we can not do it with algorithms.  Even my author admits, that he is unsure if we can change the world...and even out the flow of money......as he blames the computer for the failure of jobs for the middle class.....WHICH I DO NOT AGREE WITH....I think he has to delve more into chaos theory, and the restrains on companies created by rules and regulations, and the jump to conclusions...Even in Chaos theory, delving deep down, things smooth out and recover.....sooooooo!!!!! More to come, just remember, what do I know...???

Steven Strogatz - Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos: Part 6a

IMHO In My Humble Opinion

Today, I listened to the author of a new book , on the book program on Tv...then I decided to check on Chaos theory, based on what I was hearing from this program.

These two quotes come from the site, above in blue...IMHO

Then I decided to listen to the music created .....and think about the quotes below....

"physics is no longer simply the study of subatomic particles in a billion-dollar particle accelerator, but the study of chaotic systems and how they work".

"Music can be created using fractals as well. Using the Lorenz attractor, Diana S. Dabby, a graduate student in electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has created variations of musical themes. ("Bach to Chaos: Chaotic Variations on a Classical Theme", Science News, Dec. 24, 1994) By associating the musical notes of a piece of music like Bach's Prelude in C with the x coordinates of the Lorenz attractor, and running a computer program, she has created variations of the theme of the song. Most musicians who hear the new sounds believe that the variations are very musical and creative".

Stay tuned, maybe you know where I am going.....

Sarah Vaughan - A Garden In The Rain

This says it all .....what a song, you can't beat the arrangement, the voice .... in high school music was piped into the girls room and this song was one that had me humming it all day...

Patsy Cline - Crazy

The country girl is always in me.  Love her voice and this song...how can we not like it?

A Miracle for a Child

Miracles still happen, the why and what, we may never understand...

Newport Mansions News

Headlines of the Week From the Desk of Trudy Coxe This Week's Highlight of the Collection: Located in a bedroom closet in the 3rd floor servant quarters of The Elms, this enshrined figure of Jesus and the Sacred Heart, c. 1900, is original to The Elms and was purchased with the house in 1962. Housed in a carved wooden frame, the painted statue is surrounded by flowers and a stenciled background. The homecoming celebration at Rosecliff last Sunday for Heather Abbott, the young Newport woman who was wounded in the Boston Marathon bombing, was an inspirational event. About 300 people attended, including Governor Chafee, Senators Reed and Whitehouse, Congressmen Cicilline and Langevin, and Attorney General Kilmartin. We all were mesmerized by Heather's courage and positive attitude as she recovers from the loss of part of her leg. The PS donated the use of Rosecliff for the party. Be sure to sign up for the June 6 lecture by International Council member Richard Guy Wilson, Commonwealth Professor and Chair of the Department of Architecture at the University of Virginia. He'll share with us the genius of Richard Upjohn, architect of Kingscote and other Gothic-inspired cottages and churches. The lecture starts at 6 p.m. It will also be a chance for you to meet our new Director of Museum Affairs, Dr. Laurie Ossman. She'll be introducing Dr. Wilson. You also won't want to miss our June 19 lecture by Caitlin Emery, our Research and Interpretation Coordinator, on some of the lesser-known treasures in the Preservation Society's collections. That's at 11 a.m. at The Elms. You can sign up for both lectures by contacting Brittany Hullinger at ext. 154. Mark your calendars for the Annual Meeting on June 13. We'll be honoring four people with our annual Laurel Awards: Bob & Wini Galkin for volunteerism, in honor of their outstanding support and advocacy on the PS's behalf; Jeff Daly for artisanship, for his visionary design of our exhibit at the Winter Antiques Show; and Norey Cullen for horticulture, for her impassioned advocacy for Newport's gardens and landscapes. The Annual Meeting will be held at Rosecliff, starting at 6:00. Alyssa Lozupone, who has just graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with an MS in historic preservation, has accepted the position of Public Policy Fellow for the next year. She'll be joining us in July. Speaking of the Fellows program, we hope you'll join us for a special luncheon and tour of The Elms Carriage House on June 19, to learn more about the Scholars Center and Fund for Fellows. Supporter Eaddo Kiernan has agreed to make a few remarks about why the Fellows Program is important.

The co-chairs of our Summer Venetian Masked Ball at The Elms on August 3--Barbara Chapman, Monique Coleman, Amanda Fischer, Kate Hamilton and Alice Ross--are doing fantastic work and planning a great, fun evening for us. We are very grateful to all those who are supporting the Ball at the level of $5,000 or more. Those who have purchased benefactor and patron tables recently include: The Berwind Fund Office, Mr. and Mrs. William P. Egan II, Mrs. Alfred S. Wilsey, Mrs. Alexander Cushing, and Mrs. George Edward Ford. Social media continues growing as an important tool for us to communicate with our various constituents. It's time for you to join the conversation if you haven't done so already! In just the past 7 days, we reached 17,582 people through our 3 Facebook pages. Congratulations to our friends and colleagues at the International Tennis Hall of Fame, who achieved accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums this week. They join the PS, the Newport Art Museum, RI Historical Society, Slater Mill and the RISD Art Museum as the only accredited museums in Rhode Island. Only about 1,000 of the estimated 17,500 museums in the entire country are accredited. "I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day. I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did." - Benjamin Harrison Peace on Memorial Day, TC

Eres Tu

Chis Connor

Chris Connor was one of my faves, she did not record enough to suit me, but just listen to that velvet voice...

Barry White and Pavrotti

I love Barry White's voice, so I could not resist, I must have posted this before....and again a thanks to Pavrotti for his genorosity of spirit, making music like this ties the generations and more.  Maybe Barry White would have been a great opera singer?  Who knows ?

The magic of music!

Who would have thought, James Brown, the big orchestra and Pavrotti!  A  thank you Pavrotti for your contribution to the wonders of music, joining with our pop singers to prove it!

Moanin low with Billy Holiday

This is so thirties....I couldn't help but share it ...again.  Favorites always pop up..on my site...I wonder if someone put out a record with the thirties sound before the vocalist like this, would it be a hit today....my guess...it might if music lovers could find out about it...on YOUTUBE  before it hit the markets??  What do you think...??

interesting mash up of dance and music...

Follow up on the Carioca fromt he other day...can't beat Fred and Ginger

'Moanin', if you like jazz, you have to know this

BB KING AND ERIC CLAPTON

MOANIN..the blues!

A tribulte to JAZZ/BLUES

A testament to Jazz, now recognized in the concert halls of the world and sung by Opera singers, making it even more beautiful!

Tom Waits

I wonder if he would consider singing some of the classic old songs?  His voice might fit some of them very well.  ??

Sea of Love..movie and song, Al Pacino

Watched this movie this weekend, and loved the song presented by Tom Waits....love his growly voice.  Great interpretation !

The movie is an oldie I had seen before, but easy to watch again, I even forgot who the murderer was, until ....

Marie Elena, by my favorites

the playing is distinct, you can savor it coming from almost the first note...

Paco de Lucia , Tico Tico

The L-8 Blimp Mystery Posted: 14 May 2013 11:21 PM PDT Not a trace of Cody or Adams was ever found. The L-8 blimp mystery remained a secret to the end. The post The L-8 Blimp Mystery appeared first on Historic Mysteries. Related Articles: The USS Scorpion Mystery The Mystery of the Hopkinsville Goblins Where did Columbus land?

Count Every Star...Dick Haymes and Artie Shaw

Dick Haymes did not get the attention he should have received.  He married Rita Hayworth, which was an attention getter, but he did not qualify for the draft, and people wondered why...he was never a United States citizen, so he was not eligible for the draft.... the rumors really hurt him.

Carioca, with Jose

 Which Disney movie was this from?  I have been trying to capture it, but it slips my mind.   This is how we learned about the music of South America...when I was young.

Carioca, Flying down to Rio

Would you believe, they actually did stunts like this on early airplanes.

Artie Shaw Carioca and Mercedes Special.....

Can you imagine the times!
Beautiful cars, customized to your desire...flappers, and spectacular music....

Artie Shaw

Well it was only going to be a few moments before I broke down and brought you to my favorite version... I love Artie Shaw...!
This arrangment is soooooo good... how about it?  What do you think?

Art Pepper, What's New

Adifferent interpretation, that I prefer because of his little toot toot toot in between , they are like little tasty jelly beans that tie the tastes of the different sounds together...red, green yellow, they all taste different....and the sound melts into them...

Whats New Dexter Gordon

Maybe this is another way to say it.....music fits ...sounds, voice, atmosphere, etc....this is the right song for this instrument...it requires a song that has the tone that fits the instrument, just as your voice should fit the song you choose...it is hard to put your finger on it....you need to develop an ear for the sounds, and the mood.  This instrument for example is not a good choice for solo on many songs...in my opinion...but as I always say.....what do I know...

You've Changed

here is the female version for a soft voice, like KD. Lang

You've Changed

 A song waiting to be revived, is your voice in this category?  Perfect song for you..find the songs that fit your voice.  The melodies of old will always sell, even to the young group, there is hardly any competition today for great songs...

Louis Prima - I Wan'na Be Like You

 got a grampa....?  This would be a great gift from one of the grandkids....

Billy Eckstine - I Apologise

Dad love music, can you find this in an old record store for him?  This is a fab album...the old style record players are still around, and it would be a great gift to give him...

Don McLean- American Pie (with Lyrics)

An incredible song, full of history, the past and the future?  Think about the pauses, just as you pause to write a new chapter, a way to swing from one melody to another...a difficult song to put together, a story , a book, in a song...

The Eagles - Take It Easy (Remastered)

one of my favorites, featuring dissonance...

All Those Years Ago - John Lennon & George Harrison

Isnt this just wonderful~

George Harrison and Eric Clapton - While my guitar gently weeps (HQ)

One of my favorites...

Beyond the Sea (La Mer) - Carmen Cavallaro

/Some songs never leave, and thus you get them again from me, my favorite  Beyond the Sea...and the gorgeous tones of Carmen Cavallaro

I'll Take Romance Carmen Cavallaro

And.....just listen to the music of Carmen Cavallero....heavenly......today we have Beegie Adair

Les Paul & Mary Ford - Just One More Chance (original 78 rpm)

this is why we rushed to the music store...the music, the ideas, the sounds, they grew better each day!  I can't find Billy Ecstine version, of You're Mine You.... I know I have it on his album tucked away,   Maybe it will turn up on here someday.

J.J. Johnson - You're Mine You

 I'll bet this would be a great song by Chris Botti...what do you think?

SARAH VAUGHAN YOU'RE MINE YOU.wmv

what an artist.....her long notes reached into our hearts, our radios played Sarah , our record players, sounded off with Sarah, at the beach, at the park, in the car.....we took our record players everwhere we went.

Crystal Gayle - don't it make my brown eyes blue

This was a spectacular hit, we loved and danced to this into forever and still love it when we hear it..

Where The Boys Are

This is the music my generation grew up with, not protest songs, not ghetto music, it was music to dream by....the future is still here if the music business would only wake up....and realize that they help shape the culure,

"The Power Of Love" (Live) - Huey Lewis & The News - Santa Rosa, Chris B...

Lets do some music, time for a change.....did you read where the music business is suffering,...and its from the selection of todays music, everyone prefers to listen to the music that we still enjoy....like this..

It was a rollicking song that stuck with us day after day....the right riff!

LARGEST CRYSTAL DISCOVERED IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE

http://youtu.be/Jnap_Thtem0    Interesting....have you ever been in the Bermuda Triangle?....Usually people lose their way because the compass does not hold steady North....and the current pushes you North while you are heading into the East....so you need to constantly correct course, and plan for the current....but who knows maybe there are some magnetic properties in the soil below the sea, that cause the compass to go whacky!  Did you ever read about that happening in a good thriller...it could happen you know...

Mantovani - Adios

Mantovani mesmerized us with  beautiful arrangments of wonderful songs....so ...hope you enjoyed my selections tonight.  Adios

Linda Ronstadt - What's New

This is a fabulous album and probably the best arrangement of this song, I have heard

Joe Williams (playlist)

A great song to bring back....

Eric Clapton - While my guitar gently weeps (HQ)(Concert for George)

The music, the group, the individuals, they ruled our world.  I loved Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Paul and the rest of the Beatles, Rod Stewart........ the boys from England, they swept the world with wonderful music.

George Harrison - Something in the way she moves

Why we loved the Beatles, is evident ...this song was a knock out!

Elvis Presley - I'll Remember You

I'll bet there is someone in my music followers that can bring this back, it is a lovely ballad...

Elvis Presley (You Dont Have To Say You Love Me)

Elvis must have been tired, this night!  When he first appeared on tv, we all blushed, it was  shock and awe!  Remember we were basically chaste....

Mel Carter- Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me Live

Maybe this was the HIT VERSION....don't remember, have to look some more....

Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me - Johnny Mathis

Dragging out beautiful music that made the hit list long ago, these songs never die....will try and find another version....it was so popular

Johnny Mathis - It´s Not For Me To Say

what a voice ....bringing back Johnny Mathis, can anyone fill his shoes?

Della Reese - Don't You Know? ("Puccini")

I think it is a draw!  What do you say...???  Great songs, great ladies!

Dinah Washington - This Bitter Earth

Here is your answer to who is the Queen?  Maybe I wasn't fair to Della, so I will give her another shot at the title...

Della Reese - Someday (You'll Want Me To Want You) (playlist)
