Ray Anthony - Blue Velvet - wmv

Blue Velvet was popular around 1949, we all had to have a blue velvet dress, for our best dates, athe ballrooms that circled the area.  Louis Armstrong played this at Canobie Lake Park, just north of Boston.  In those days it was a date location for dancing with and under the stars, something I could never forget, thank you Joe Lavin.

James Torme "Love For Sale" official video

Wow! This is a great album, if you loved Mel Torme, as I did , you have to listen to his son. His arrangements remind me of Mel, his ability to do scat is great, his voice is wonderful. Give it a listen, great reviews on the radio play lists too!

Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World!, by Andrew Brei...

During the Second World War, those of us alive saw how to spread propaganda, true or false! During the Cold War, we watched Kruschev take off his shoe and slam it down saying, we will beat you (in so many words)! Would you expect that a group of people known as the Frankfurt Group, would figure out how to turn us against each other and make the political scene in the United States full of strife and turmoil,  true or false?

This post is to ask you to consider that what is said in this book,  that what is revealed, could be true, and could be in the works, to change us, based on a simple process of creating rage and thru that rage turning us against each other.   If you have lived through many elections, you have never seen anything like the political valleys we are now facing!  It is almost impossible to have people reach accord, the rifts are growing larger and more devastating to our future.

You must form your own opinions, it has to come from within your own soul.  Saul Alinsky proposed the methods now in use to overcome our country as we once knew it.  Now, Charly Gullett is suggesting we turn the tables, of course it is not warmly received, because maybe we are too late, to wake up to what is happening?  What do you think, should you know more? 

The interview of this book by Andrew Britebart conducted Sunday on Book TV was fascinating, and totally convincing that a method of change, of propaganda, like we have never seen is underway in this country, all steming from a group of Marxists, known as the Frankfurt Group, who came here to escape the Nazi's .  They became disgusted with our culture of consumerism, in their new Southern California home ( naturally) and decided to change it with the tactics , as described in this book and other literature about Saul Alinsky. 

The truth of this book is shining through, when you read the reviews on Van Jones, who has published
The Green Collar Economy, and illustrates his desire in the book ,  to focus on race relations , rather than the subject of the book, in order to create rage and disharmony among fellow Americans.  Again, form your own opinion, read the reviews

It is not for me to convince you, but to suggest you consider what people are showing us to be facts or non facts, the decision is yours.

Richard Rotelli authors second book

Richard Rotelli, is from Framingham , Mass.

Richard's his first book,  A Creative Odyssey, is about a crippled man Richard's family befriended, who became an artist with the help of the family who took him in.

It is inspiring, it see what love and caring can do.  Also, it is a picture into the past, when there where ice houses, and no roads across the United States. 

Let Me Be A Light, is the story of faith, and finding God, one man's illumination and fufillment.  Told as only Richard can tell a story like this.
