| The moment I saw him I knew and this was s cary. | | hi mylotters do any of you believe like i do in love'at first sight or am I just a hopeless romantic? I had just listened to'some old cole porter songs and it made me remember the day I met'my husband to be. I looked at his grinning face, and thought oh myg this man is who I am going to marry. This scared me as I didnt really know him at all yet. but still I knew he was the one.Ten years earlier a fortune teller told me I would marry a man with the initals G.H. and that we would have two children, a boy first then a girl. We would lose one child. well all that has come to pass, our daughter died at age eight.So when he told me his named was G arland Hatley I almost fainted. So my questions do any of you believe in love at first sight, and in someone being the one and only one who is slated for you as a soul mate? I know one can love more than one person, but I feel that for all of us God has picked one particular person. | |
| | An American musical legacy to the world. | | America, the home of the Great American Songwriters, Composers, and Lyricists, of the 20's, 30,s and 40'sSince I was 19 years old, im 59 now, here in the UK, ive studied the lives and works of people like Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Frank Loesser, Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart, Oscar Hammerstein 2nd, Sammy Cahn, George and Ira Gershwin, together with a host of their contemporaries who created the Great American Songbook, and of course, Francis Albert Sinatra, the greatest interpreter of the great American songbook, ever.How much do you know about these fabulous songwriters
many of whom were Jewish immigrants who fled to America in the 19th Century to escape tyranny in their homelands, and do battle with the english language to carve out their place in American history? | |
| | Who is the Greatest Musical Genius in History? | | Many might say: Bach, Mozart, Beethoven. Others would say...no, they are over-rated, I prefer more contemporary classical composers such as Rachmaninov, Mahler, Debussy, Ravel, Stravinsky, Vaughan Williams; or such heroes of the avant garde as Stockhausen. Others still would come to the 20th Century and make a case for George Gershwin, or Cole Porter...or would it be Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis? No, others still would say, have you forgotten Stevie Wonder? Joni Mitchell? Donald Fagen?
is the greatest genius of all operating among us as we speak? Let's talk... | |
