Jenni Alpert Is A Fantastic Singer/Songwriter

Jenni's a fantastic singer and songwriter.  Click here to go to her website!

Julie London-- "The Good Life"

Jenni Alpert put this on my wall in Facebook.  It gave me a very nice chance to slow down and think of simpler times.  Julie London has such a velvety voice and with the crisp analog studio work of the time all the nuances and snap to her delivery were much appreciated by my aging ears, that have grown so much more patient as time goes by.
 We get so immersed in the music of our times with slight deviations to the outer boundaries just to keep a context.  But, I must admit that the snap and sizzle of singers like Sinatra were not high on my list as a kid, so I've gone back to those sections of time to familiarize myself with special gems here and there.

US Standard Of Living Threatened

I started writing on this blog as a way to keep a journal of my thoughts and concerns with an intent to possibly gather a following of like minded individuals. I've discovered many things along the way, having experienced upsides and downsides of my expectations that through organizing thoughts, I would improve my abilities to structure ideas and hold peoples' interests. I studied others' work and even broke out E. B. Whites, "The Elements Of Style". But I've severed ties from differences of opinion here and there; one of the downsides of having no deadlines. I've been less effective than the following video at voicing my concerns about some of the pressures inherent in our young nation's governing body.

GoPro HD HERO camera: Formula Car Clip

Jamming in any music genre, be it rock, jazz, what have you, consists of being in the moment and responding to cues and circumstances. Here's a clip of some very fast driving requiring responses at a pace few can comprehend!
I found this clip exhilarating throughout, yet exhausting as the driver passed car after car after car and I'm just sitting here at home on a computer!

Dubai Fountain - "Time to Say Goodbye" - Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman

So beautiful!

Imagine if we supplied our own oil instead of making Dubai wealthy from buying their oil. Don't you think it's time for a Renaissance in THIS COUNTRY! Dubai looks quite beautiful. What are the Nay Sayers afraid of? Give those regulations a break and get ready for the USA to blossom in a NEW Renaissance!

The Greatest Music Video Ever? Posted by SarahDMZ (Dennis Miller Zone)

VIDEO: The Greatest Music Video Ever?

Posted by SarahDMZ

For once, Roger Ebert and HotAir.com might agree on something. See what you think about this stunning Grand Rapids music video, directed by Dennis Miller's radio guest, Rob Bliss.

When Grand Rapids ended up on the list of 'American Dying Cities,' they wanted to prove that there are still in it to win it. With $40,000 and a cast of 5,000, Bliss's goosebumps-worthy video uses a live track of Don McLean's 'American Pie' and a single take through one of the heartland's most prideful cities.
