Ribbon Cutting

thebeaddreamer — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:23:18 +0000

Today I attended the ribbon cutting of the Downing-Gross Cultural Art Center in Newport News, VA. It is a beautiful building with a theatre, art galleries, and rooms equipped for music and dance. How wonderful for the community to have such a place where people's lives can be enriched by the arts. The theatre is named after Ella Fitzgerald, Newport News native. An adjoining street was also dedicated to Ella Fitzgerald today.

Dinah and Ella, does it get any better?

On This Date (October 6, 1985) Nelson Riddle

Nelson Riddle
June 1, 1921 - October 6, 1985

Nelson Smock Riddle was born June 1, 1921, in Oradell, NJ. His father was an amateur musician who performed in a local band, and Riddle learned classical piano as a child, later switching to trombone at age 14. Debussy and Ravel were favorites early on, though he also listened to pop music and big-band swing. In 1940, he joined Jerry Wald's dance orchestra as trombonist and arranger; the following year, he moved on to Charlie Spivak's band, leaving to join the merchant marine in 1943. Exiting the service, he spent 1944-1945 as a trombonist with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, also writing a couple of arrangements ("Laura," "I Should Care"). In 1946, he returned to the New York area, where he arranged for big bands like the Elgart Brothers and Elliot Lawrence. By year's end, however, he had decided to relocate to Los Angeles, where he landed a job as an arranger for Bob Crosby. From there he moved on to become a staff arranger at NBC Radio in 1947, also composing background music for dramatic programs, and continued to study arranging and conducting with Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco and Victor Young. Riddle caught his first big break when Les Baxter recruited him to ghostwrite a few arrangements for Nat King Cole. One of Riddle's efforts, "Mona Lisa," became Cole's biggest hit ever in 1950 (though it was credited to Baxter). "Too Young" was another huge success in 1951, and Cole hired Riddle as his primary arranger; that relationship would endure for over a decade and produce classics like "Unforgettable." In 1952, Riddle wrote an arrangement of "The Blacksmith Blues" for Ella Mae Morse that turned even more heads at Capitol; soon, the label hired him on as an in-house arranger. When Frank Sinatra signed with Capitol in 1953, the label encouraged him to work with the up-and-coming Riddle; Sinatra was reluctant, initially wanting to remain loyal to his chief Columbia arranger, Axel Stordahl. He soon recognized the freshness of Riddle's approach, however, and eventually came to regard Riddle as his most sympathetic collaborator. The first song they cut together was "I've Got the World on a String," and as Sinatra moved into the LP format, Riddle became a hugely important collaborator. Sinatra wanted to record conceptually unified albums that created consistent moods, and Riddle's arrangements had to draw out the emotional subtext of the material Sinatra chose. Riddle's work was alternately romantic (the 10" LPs Songs for Young Lovers and Swing Easy), desolate and intimate (In the Wee Small Hours, Only the Lonely), or confident and hard-swinging (Songs for Swingin' Lovers!, A Swingin' Affair!). The results were some of the finest and most celebrated albums in the history of popular music. Capitol signed Riddle as an artist in his own right during the early '50s; leading his own orchestra, he recorded a series of albums (upward of ten) geared for the easy listening audience. In 1956, he scored a breakout hit single with "Lisbon Antigua," an instrumental of European origin that climbed all the way to number one on the pop charts. The follow-up "Port au Prince" made the Top 20, as did two albums, 1957's Hey...Let Yourself Go! and 1958's C'mon...Get Happy!. Plus, his 1958 composition "Cross Country Suite" won him his first Grammy. As the '50s wore on, Riddle got increasingly involved in the motion picture industry, thanks in part to Sinatra; he worked on the scores for the Sinatra films Johnny Concho (1956), Pal Joey (1957), A Hole in the Head (1959), and Come Blow Your Horn (1963), plus the Rat Pack vehicles Ocean's Eleven (1960) and Robin and the Seven Hoods (1964). Branching out into other film projects, he worked on the W.C. Handy biopic St. Louis Blues (1958) and Stanley Kubrick's Lolita, and earning Oscar nominations for his scores for Li'l Abner (1959) and the Cole Porter musical Can-Can (1960). He also served as the musical director on variety shows starring Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and Rosemary Clooney. In addition to Riddle's 1950s associations with Sinatra and Cole, he wrote arrangements for -- among others -- Betty Hutton, Jimmy Wakely, Peggy Lee, Dinah Shore, and Judy Garland, the latter of whom turned in two of her finest interpretive albums in 1956's Judy and 1958's Judy in Love under Riddle's guidance. At the end of the decade, he began a fruitful relationship with Ella Fitzgerald, cutting two sessions with his orchestra backing her up (Ella Swings Brightly With Nelson and Ella Swings Gently With Nelson) and contributing extensively to her mammoth Songbooks series, particularly the Gershwin, Kern, and Mercer volumes. Over the course of the '60s, Riddle went on to work with the likes of Rosemary Clooney (1960's Rosie Solves the Swingin' Riddle), Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Al Martino, Johnny Mathis (1961's I'll Buy You a Star), Shirley Bassey (1962's Let's Face the Music), Billy Eckstine, Jack Jones, Eddie Fisher, Keely Smith, and many, many others. His last full album with Sinatra was 1966's Strangers in the Night , on which Riddle's feel for contemporary pop in the post-rock & roll age helped Sinatra regain his commercial standing. Meanwhile, Riddle continued his soundtrack work, crafting some of his most notable material for television. He wrote the distinctive theme for The Untouchables in 1959, and his theme song to the series Route 66 was hugely popular, even making the pop charts when it was released as a single in 1962. Although Riddle didn't write the legendary theme song to the Batman TV series, he scored many of the individual episodes. He also worked on shows like The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Tarzan, Emergency!, and Barnaby Jones, among others. In 1967, he signed on as musical director of the popular Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, and went on to serve in a similar capacity on early-'70s variety shows hosted by Julie Andrews and Helen Reddy. He earned another Oscar nomination for his work adapting the score of Paint Your Wagon (1969), and notched his first Oscar win for the score of 1974's The Great Gatsby. Meanwhile, Riddle continued to work with Sinatra on special projects, including the singer's 1971 farewell concert at the Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles, and a 1974 comeback show at Madison Square Garden. As his music grew increasingly jazzy and driving, he also continued his own recording career on Sinatra's Reprise label for a time, later switching to Liberty/United Artists and a succession of smaller imprints. By the mid-'70s, Riddle was largely retired, a combination of changing musical tastes and health problems that necessarily curtailed his activities. He emerged in the early '80s to work with Linda Ronstadt on a succession of traditional pop albums: 1983's What's New, 1984's Lush Life, and 1986's For Sentimental Reasons. The former two both earned him Grammys for Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocals. Riddle's final completed project was Blue Skies, a 1985 collaboration with opera singer Kiri Te Kanawa. He passed away in Los Angeles on October 6, 1985. - Steve Huey (allmusic)

The Great American Songbook (I) - Someone to Watch Over Me

manuel margarido — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 23:21:09 +0000

A partir de hoje, dia 5 (na verdade já entrámos em 6), faltam 30 dias para a realização da eleições presidenciais nos E.U.A., que terão lugar a 4 de Novembro. A coisa em si nunca me comoveu muito (apesar de ter apreciado os mandatos Clinton). Democratas ou Republicanos nunca divergiram muito no melhor e no pior que a América deu a si mesma e ao mundo. Os tempos estão diferentes, porém. Aquilo que se poderia tomar como simples alternância de poder assume, porém e agora, um carácter fracturante (expressão tão na moda, tão politicamente correcta, que me arrependo já de a ter escrito). E a escolha de um dos lados pode significar (ou não) a travessia do Rubicão do século XXI. A mudança.

Tomo, pois, partido. E, enquanto roo as minhas muito brancas unhas, colocarei aqui diariamente, em louvor e esperança pelo destino da nação americana, um tema musical do Great American Songbook que se poderia balizar, de forma simplista, como o conjunto de temas musicais populares 'clássicos' criados entre os anos 20 e os anos 60 do século passado. Entre o Tin Pan Alley de New Orleans, os musicais da Broadway, os grandes temas musicais do cinema, até à fulgurante irrupção da pop music na cultura popular.

Os temas clássicos, que deram origem à fixação de muitos dos melhores standards do Jazz e ainda hoje são referenciados (e reverenciados) pelo escol dos melhores intérpretes e conhecedores. A selecção de cada interpretação é necessariamente arbitrária. Minha, portanto. Fiquemos com a primeira. Que passem ligeiros estes 30 dias, onde todas as esperanças são possíveis.

Someone To Watch Over Me (1926), de George e Ira Gershwin, aqui na interpretação memorável de Ella Fitzgerald (mas com mais de uma centena de versões para todos os - bons - gostos).

Ev'ry time we say goodbye: el premi per Colbran

Joaquim — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 22:00:09 +0000

És literalment impossible fer encabí en els menys de quatre minuts que dura aquesta obra d'art de Cole Porter, un petit resum del disc dur emocional d'en Colbran.

Tan li fa que et vulguis centrar en l'òpera, en el cinema, en el musical, en la revista, en la copla, sempre et deixaràs algú i si vols que surtin tots aquest gèneres, aleshores saps de cert que un cop hagis acabat diràs, no, m'he deixat a aquest o aquest altre.

Hagués pogut agafar el "Bel raggio lusinghier" de la Semiramide, per exemple, que és molt més llarg, l'identifica absolutament i em donaria més marge per anar col·locant estampes de santes i sants, però aleshores el problema era una altre. Quina versió?. Descartades la Colbran o la Malibran, millor la Bartoli que la Berganza?, o era imprescindible la versió d'Orange de la Caballé?. Tenia clar a qui no podia posar, però quina triar, no.

Segona opció: Sabent que la cançó que més li agrada és aquesta que Cole Porter va escriure a l'any 1944 per a la revista de Billy Rose, Seven Lively Arts, i que de les moltes versions possibles, aquí no hi hauria discussió, doncs la de l'Ella Fitzgerald és la referencialment reclinatoriable, ja tenia la banda sonora.

El problema ara era la durada, però espero que sense arribar a marejar amb la voràgine de talent que veureu, hagi donat cabuda a molts del altar colbranesc. Què en falten ja us dic jo que si, però aquestes i aquests que veureu són tots imprescindibles en la seva vida.

Ara cal esperar el comentari que farà, que a part de interessant com sempre, volem que sigui quilomètric, doncs si s'ha d'aturar en cadascuna de les estampes que trobarà, pot ser per sucar-hi pa.

Felicitats Colbran per endevinar de la manera més ràpida i senzilla, sense cap mena prepotència i superioritat, amb la senzillesa i bonhomia que et caracteritza, el concurs definitivament més difícil que he fet, si haig de atenir-me als comentaris rebuts (publicats i privats).

Aquí et deixo el regal, que ser segur que t'agradarà. Tan sols es tracta de reveure i reviure, tot el que aquesta colla t'han anat donant al cap dels anys.

[splashcast c EOPL2476EK]

Everytime we say goodbye, I die a little,
Everytime we say goodbye, I wonder why a little,
Why the gods above me, who must be in the know.
Think so little of me, they allow you to go.
When youre near, theres such an air of spring about it,
I can hear a lark somewhere, begin to sing about it,
Theres no love song finer, but how strange the change from major to
Minor,
Everytime we say goodbye.

When youre near, theres such an air of spring about it,

Inspirations

sheppicakes — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 07:40:17 +0000

Before I go to sleep, I'd like to share some of my inspirations. For some reason, I am motivated to sing and express myself in ways I've never thought I would or could. I am in the mood to collaborate with others, try something new, and re-connect to the music that first got me into loving music. Tonight, after talking with Erweenie about different things, made me appreciate one of my many loves even more. I hope you enjoy these lovely videos.

The Consequences of Pessimism & Regret

markevertz — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 05:35:26 +0000

This week's blog is in memory of Evlyn F. Poulson, aka Grammy, with a heart-string tugger from my personal 6-feet-deep mix.

Band of Horses -- The Funeral

The last two weeks delivered an avalanche of work, a few happy moments and images that have been burned into my brain forever -- photos available upon request -- and a single, unwavering emotion after attending the funeral of someone I've known for nearly 30 years.

When I say emotion, I don't mean to imply a wild torrent of sadness or loss. My emotion to date remains fixated on a sheer absence of grief. My emotion: Astonishment.

If the mood at Evlyn's rosary last week could be summed up in one word it would probably be "relief." All who gathered to say good bye, all who Evlyn surrounded herself with throughout life in attendance, appeared eerily relieved by her passing.

One liners were exchanged during the mingling about how hard on people she was, how people she crossed paths with in her latter care facility days probably were celebrating her departure. Shoulder shrugs, well-worn phrases and hugs greeted survivors like they'd been plucked from the aftermath of a Stage 5 hurricane.

Clear and continuous articulations of hope that after 87 years of painfully grinding through life and grinding on the nerves of others, hopefully Evlyn would finally find peace. And it all concluded with pained attempts to speak nicely about her during the eulogy. It kind of reminded me of the Livia Soprano wake. Disingenuously squirm-worthy.

For Evlyn:
Unrelenting was cloaked with Hard Worker.
Miserly was masked with Good Money Manager.
A fighter was a black veil for Mean. All euphemisms were delivered without the cathartic end, thankfully, I suppose.

Upon reflection, I think what struck me most was that people miraculously had next to nothing genuinely nice to say about her after 87 years on this earth.

That profoundly affects me to this day. Maybe it always will.

When the eulogy got to its emotional center there was brief, but rich detail on her life prior to the burdens of dashed hopes, fallen dreams and unmet expectations. Buoyant moments and aspirations filled with dancing, playing music with her children, bowling, taking vacations. Enjoying life.

In my 28 years with her, I never got the chance, check that, took the opportunity, to get to know that woman. And that's all on me

We always had a serviceable relationship as step-grandmother/grandson, in that I'd ask how she was doing, she'd say not very good, Mark, I'd nod caringly, exhale sympathetically and then move on to the rest of the family during the holidays. She was pretty good to me in comparison to most in her immediate family, so for that, I'm grateful.

But if I had taken the time to find out about something that would've made her smile or recall a positive experience in her life...I know we both would've been better off. With that realization, I'm on the precipice of positive change.

One thing is for certain. Evlyn's passing is a razor-sharp reminder to me that my words and actions have consequences that reach far beyond my own life and have either built people up or torn them down to the point banking a bad, permanent memory. I never reached the mountain top of pessimism, cynicism or curmudgenism, but I've seen pictures. And it's horrifying.

So my new mantra is:
1. Use my powers of pessimism to think critically about things that demand change or to surface perspectives being overlooked without being too critical of the people I count on as family and friends. Those are sacred communities to be guarded and defended at all costs.

2. Always pursue my childhood dreams...no matter how old I get and...

3. End every snarky hair-parter with a lifeline so we can climb out of the muck together. Life's too freaking short for muck dwelling and excruciatingly long if you're living it without the richness of a compassionate circle of family and friends.

One guy I'm following right now who seems keenly optimistic in the face of trying times and people is Terry Starbucker. Pseudonym? Don't know. Ask him yourself. Regardless, make routine visits when you feel like coming unglued on somebody.

Terry keeps me from ending up on the 11 o'clock news. I think he can do the same for you, too.

Anyway, back to the point: R.I.P Evlyn and I'm sorry I didn't try harder.

I'll drink a glass, maybe a bottle, of this in memory of your happier moments.

And another from the 6-feet-deep mix to get you all to take stock in the people you love that are here and fondly remember those who aren't.

Until next time,

The world is lyrical

Experiment on my sister's taste in music

pimpawan — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:28:15 +0000

Three months ago I went home for my sister's birthday. Believe it or not but I bought her a box of jelly bean (which robbed me almost 300 baht. bloody candy!) not that I love her....that much. I mean 300 baht is nothing though. (the truth is I felt guilty for buying one..big box the month before and I ate all 50 favors leaving her the rest I don't like...like juicy pear..yuck!!) So I was home. And it's my habit I think; everytime I back home I see what's new in my sister's music folder. If there is Retrospect or Crash or whatever like that happens to be in the folder, I don't hesitate to delete it..eradicate it (and never forget to empty the recycle bin. just in case.) The following day she found out, she hit me and kicked my ass (really. that's how we express our love.) Traditionally, we race to mom and report. she got her first. obviously I lost, now it's time to pay. Verdict: Katare has to find all the songs she deleted from Katen's folder. Make copies and give her every song she used to possess. No way I could do that. You mean it? Crash? Retrospect!!!???

Back to BKK again, there I came up with an idea to do a tiny little experiment on my sister's taste in music, which is...obviously poor...a disastrous one actually. I remember there was a time when she was ..like 10, she would listen to every song I told her to. She's 16 now and there won't be such time of obedient girl. plus I was away from home for almost five years, so there's no one to take care of her taste in such thing. Khun mae and Khun phor think it's just a trivial stuff. ok I get to the point now. There's no way I could find such stuff..retrosped or krash..so I just sent 4 cds. all the stuff I usually listen to. disk 1: All about Hush Sound. (pop) disk 2: Pumpkins (rock) disk 3: Nat King Cole (real retro) plus O'day and Fitzgerald (real jazz) disk 4: my piano lord Debussy (classic. เห?)

cds arrived. she called me. aked what the hell I sent her. 'Debussy. You know him.' I answered. 'Yeah. But that's not the point. Where's P' Bank?' her voice must reached somewhere above 50 dB, I thought my ear wax almost flew out. 'Listen other disks. i'm pretty sure you'll like them.' tried damn hard not to sound phony. 'yeah..sure. Give me my Crash back. I'll tell ma.' 'Chern.'

Ten days later. 'Who is it? disk no.1' the fish took the bait. 'The Hush Sound. told you they're cool.' 'the girl voice is suck.' haha poor Greta. 'what's the boy called?' 'Bob..i think.' so แรด ma my sis? haha.

'don't forget my Crash next time you come home.' ......................................hell..NO!

sorry I can't make up my mind to add Crash and Retrospect tags...T.T

jeg burde skrive noe her

limpansunivers — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:22:43 +0000

Yepp.. I should. Skrive noe her altsåååå!
Har dere lagt merke til mitt overdrevne bruk av bokstaver i ordne jeg skriver?
Jeg tenker egentlig ikke over det selv, men det bare skjer liksom. Akkurat som at hjernen min blekker ut i 3 hundredelssekunder og så trykker jeg litt for lenge på bokstavtasten i mellomtiden og da blir det liksom slike ting som: serrriiøøøøst lisssssom. <--- et eksempel gjort med hjernen i aktivitet. Vi får bare bli enige om at det er sjarmerende eller noe slikt.

Jeg kan jo ta for meg artister jeg ikke helt takler. Først må jeg jo bare si det da at det virker som terskelen til studio og plateutgivelse har blitt EKSTREEEEMT lav for tiden. Hvem som helst kan jo gi ut plate. Og vet du hva? Jeg tror Idol er en stoooor synder der. Idol viste liksom at hvem som helst kan bli artist, og om du ved impuls fikk lyst til å stikke på en audition så kan du faktisk ende opp med å bli artist.. og det har gjort at standaren for artister har blitt superlav og jeg er en av de som må lide ved å høre musikken når jeg f.eks må ut å handle eller sitter på en kafé.

Men ja..artister jeg ikke takler.. du har jo f.eks Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Creedence Clearwater Revival er bl.a de artistene fra Oooold time som jeg ikke klarer. Null fan av musikken deres og synes jah..det fenger ikke i ørene mine. Jeg vet jeg beveger meg på tynn is her nå, men den sjansen er jeg NØDT til å ta ;)
Av kvinnelige artister så har vi jo også noen å ta av da.. Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Cher, Christina Aguilera, Dido og ørten andre som jeg faktisk ikke har orket å lære meg navnet på.

La meg slippe å nevne boybanda..

Men mannlige og kvinnelige artister som er prime of the prime i mitt hodet er: Tom Waits, Jeff Buckley, Sufjan Stevens, Tony Bennet, Ben Harper, Thomas Dybdahl, Paal Flaata (riktignok i Midnight Choir) John Legend, Samuel Ljungblahd, Rick Pino, Jason Upton, Tori Amos, Ella Fitzgerald, Regina Spektor, Silje Nergaard, Maria Solheim, Misty Edwards.. jah.. det er så typisk at hjernen blir tømt for navn når jeg faktisk skal skrive om det.

Det finnes jo band som bare gir deg THE RIGHT FEELING liksom. A Perfect Circle, Pain of Salvation, Silver (HVERTFALL Billboard Blackout ep'n), Samuel Ljungblahd, Blindside, Thomas Dybdahl...yeah! Noe bare gir deg good feeling lissom:)

HVA gir deg good feeling når det kommer til musikk? Tell me tell me :)

Venus Signs

buddymaterna — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 07:17:37 +0000

Venus Gemini

This is the sign that isn't satisfied with one of anything. Natives with this placement should read poetry about love, read novels with depth right the way through... to the end. They are capable of sticking through to the end, so long as it involves constant mental stimulation, variety and change. Bob Dylan has this placement, his singing voice as shown by Venus was never a "fine singing voice," more like a gritty and smoky shout, but his lyrics are lengthy, it was after all the words that mattered more than anything. Even more than the meaning behind them...?

Venus Gemini is a fun loving fun-lover.

Venus Aries

Such intense feeling but for such a short period of time. What happened? Did you get bored so quickly of my love? Love is meant to be lasting. This placement is about being independent and strong, also indicates a love of self, which is in direct conflict with the idea of loving someone else.

Aries Venus is active, outgoing and pursues other people. It is also the placement which may be selfish in love. This is the reason this planet is placed in detriment in this sign. However, the independence of this place and simple strength of Aries makes anyone with this placement attractive in themselves and charismatic as leaders and role models. This is a classic "pin-up" film star placing. Marilyin Monroe, Pierce Brosnan, George Clooney, Albert Einstein, Jennifer Aniston, Jack Nicholson, Cristiano Ronaldo are all examples of the individual personality with much Aries charisma.

Venus Taurus

What's it worth? What's its real value?

If it creates something, of real value to people then it's worth doing. This placement is about finding the value in things, and working out if the product will be of benefit, will make life more secure, pleasant and essentially easy and happier for people. These people are motivated by values.

Musicians and Painters: Ella Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald had the most luscious voice and warmth, coming from her personality. Richard Wagner... Created some music of real value, lasting music of deep passion and emotion. Eric Clapton, has written many love songs and been one of the most solid long lasting musicians of the Rock era. Salvador Dali's paintings question what reality is, what we value in life. Paul McCartney, Ron Wood, Franz Joseph Haydn. William Joseph Turner the painter.

Politicians and Philosophers: Karl Marx: determined the value system and paradigm of material value changing the face of the world's politics. Adolph Hitler: Was searching for values for the German Nation. Michael Moore: Questions the values of modern American politics. Princess Diana, and her son Prince William.

Venus Virgo

I wasn’t good enough for you the moment you set eyes on me. I was interesting, i was odd to you but that translated into attraction for you, which was never really attraction, it was more of an interest, and then I said things which were peculiarly formed which provoked thoughts in your head, which translated into a funny feeling, which allowed you to speak, which made you feel like you were listened to, and that feeling came close, it came very close but it never came close enough to let you let your guard down because it was never the right time, because it just wasn’t perfect, because I made you nervous, which translated itself into a feeling but you weren’t sure which feeling, but when you finally worked it out it was too late.

You were so sweet with your words, you always considered and thought about me and I knew you were thinking and considering me, but I wasn’t sure about what you wanted because you always kept pulling away, and I eventually gave up, but I still feel grateful for your kindness and gentleness.

Venus Capricorn

She builds our love up in her head like a castle. She builds it up on block and on stone, she creates it in solid form. She builds up our love somehow with persistent and painstaking determination. She is grounded and happy, she is so slow, but so sure, and yet I admire the fact that she doesn't give up... the fact that she makes me feel wanted even though I give her reason to think I don't want her. But there she is again, cautiously working her way up, working me up into feeling something for her. She earns my respect for being so persistent and unflinching, and respect is needed in love...

Venus Libra

Venus placed in Libra in the natal chart.

This is the essentially dignified place for Venus.

A person with this aspect is pathetic in love. This person is stupid, and will actually believe "words of love" whether they are spoken to him or whether he speaks them to someone else, who is left wondering what this person really wants. What they really want is to live the fantasy of love, actually they only feel alive if they feel loved, and sometimes can only feel turned on if that emotion is fulfilled. Strange, because Venus is actually in an Air sign and as such does possess intelligence here. The most important thing for this person, is said to be harmony, but this is essentially not true. The most important thing to Venus in Libra is honest beauty.

As Keats said:

"Truth is beauty, and beauty is truth, and that is all you need to know."

Venus Pisces

I have loved you in past lives, or you have loved me in past lives. I am not good for you, but I hope that you will still love me. I am not good, i am lacking and lost, I am lonely and I am helpless in this world, I look to you to sooth my pain away, and your smiling happy-go-lucky, and all-loving self saves me from certain doom.

~Yes I have known you before, before I knew that I loved you, I knew you. I didn't know that you were there, that you existed even, and I am so sorry that I never heard or saw what you felt for me, and I am sorry that you suffered for such a long time, without me knowing. I am glad that i know about you now, and I hope you'll not let me pass you by again, and I hope that you will not forget the promise that you made to me. Stay true to me, have faith in me, have belief, and I will sacrifice everything for you.

Venus Scorpio

She loved me, so she picked on me.

She loved me so she hurt me.

She loved me so she spread vicious rumours about me.

She loved me so she went with someone who she hates.

Venus Cancer

Venus placed in Cancer is completely defensive about love. Venus takes her queue from her mother or father, she will look either for someone who will protect her, or for someone who she might play mother with. Venus in Cancer are very sensitive and will take things to heart easily. This is a highly emotionally reactive place for Venus, who's moods are extremely changeable.

Cancer Venus should shower all of their affection on family members, and should make their home a beautiful and comforting place to live in order to find happiness and love.

Venus Leo

You possess personality. When you step into a room, you have an effect. You are amazing. You like to think of yourself as a film star. Certainly Venus in Leo loves themselves, but is able to give love also in a very warm and affectionate way. This placing is one of the most socially popular combinations.

Venus Sagittarius

To find love and happiness, go exotic. Venus Sagittarius loves to be far far away, and loves the idea of of meeting someone on a train, plane or ship. This person is faithful, due to the nature of Sagittarius, and generous and honest too. Venus in Sagittarius is always searching for love which is often from beyond the city walls. In order to find happiness they need an intelligent travelling companion who is as excited by the thought of going some place new as they are.

Venus Aquarius

This kind of Venus likes to have intellectual equality. They are more like a Venus Gemini in this respect, so friendship and shared interests are important. To find love and happiness Venus Aquarius should not follow convention, should look for someone that is extremely clever or extremely different. Venus Aquarius is one of the most detached types of Venus and will not mind it if they are away from their love for weeks at a time. They simply love freedom and tolerate the fact that you like freedom too, and they love you for that fact, because its something you have in common.

Listen...el "jazz" de Cristina K. y el "blues" de Antonini W.

luduran — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 00:18:40 +0000

Histórico martes 23 de setiembre en Nueva York y en Miami, dos grandes intérpretes nos deleitaron con su magia vocal...Cristina, en las Naciones Unidas, fiel a la tradición de Ella Fitzgerald y Sarah Vaughan nos regaló un hermoso jazz intitulado "Fuck You,USA" y Antonini Wilson, desde un tribunal en Miami, entonó el inédito blues "Sorry, Five Million Dollars, baby", imitando el estilo interpretativo del gran B.B King.

Creo que este video de Pappo, sintetiza reflexionando sobre los subtextos lo sucedido esta memorable jornada...

El "efecto jazz" de Cristina y el "valija blues" de Antonini nos conmoverán por mucho tiempo...

Posdata: Dedico este post a George W. Bush, Julio de Vido, Claudio Uberti y a mis nietos Luca y Ornella, para que nunca olviden este 23 de setiembre de 2008.
