Book excerpt: It began with a simple idea. Back when FaceBook was an innocent eye and a playful journey - throwing sheep at each other - friends just being friends. I was alone in a world that resented my every breath.. for gifts I didn't appreciate - dreams I didn't respect - & love I'd always take for granted. Alone with my thoughts.. hopes.. dreams.. inspirations.. magic - I believed that if you took one moment every day and just looked into the dark abyss of a perfect universe - and found one simple reason to love - then in return.. love would find you. So I created a FaceBook Page called 'I Love You Because', so people could post the reasons why they're in love - so that when you're alone in the world - we could all.. still celebrate the journey together. I believe in this.. not because it's a hope or dream or new age fancy.. or even a lonely wish - cast away on the other side of forever. But because it's true.So I kept the faith.. and I believed in the universe.. I believed in love - and I believed in me.I believe in karma.. destiny.. fate.. and love. They are all real to me. I believe we've always been connected.And I know - I left you in time.. and in time - you'll find me again.Then one day.. as many lifetimes collided in linear elegance.. she did find me.. again. And together.. it was another beautiful day.This book celebrates the first 100 days of my relationship with my super amazing wife.. soul mate & twin flame - SLC. I rewrote many of the original quotes and added both FaceBook posts and quotes from some of the people in our lives at the time. Not only because I wanted to answer her for all of the times she's asked me why I love her. Not because the universe holds secrets that can't be understood but only experienced. Not because we were created for each other.Simply Because.. I love you -S

Download or read book Sonny s World written by Danny Falcone and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sonny's World" is an epic tale of romance, passion, violence, revenge, betrayal, and, ultimately, healing. Each scene is an intense (but never gratuitous) glimpse into the human psyche. Its characters are believable and likable (if not always ethical). It is a wild ride on the rollercoaster of Fate, where what is "right" and what is "meant to be" are not always the same. Paradoxically the Mafia underworld and the world of high society mix perfectly. Danny Falcone has created a commercially appealing and always enthralling masterpiece.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groovy, bebopping, music picture book biography chronicles legendary jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins's search for inspiration on the Williamsburg Bridge after quitting the jazz scene in 1959. Rollins is one of the most prolific sax players in the history of jazz, but, in 1959, at the height of his career, he vanished from the jazz scene. His return to music was an interesting journey--with a long detour on the Williamsburg Bridge. Too loud to practice in his apartment, Rollins played on the New York City landmark for two years among the cacophony of traffic and the stares of bystanders, leading to the release of his album, The Bridge. Written in rhythmic prose with a bebop edge, this picture-book biography of Sonny Rollins's journey to get his groove back will delight young and old fans alike.

Download or read book The Sonny Chronicles Volume I written by Tobe Carberry and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-10 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: B.G.P., Tha' Berch', Weed Gardens..." All nicknames representing a neighborhood - Berchwin Gardens Projects! Berchwin was a Garden because of the talented budding youth housed in the neighborhood. Hundreds of bright young children ran in courtyards, on playgrounds and in hallways of a Garden. That Garden budded youth that blossomed into adults affected by the ills of the projects. Some say it is hard to have a Garden in the Projects because there is rarely even one rose that grows from concrete. There are a few success stories of those who escaped from B.G.P.'s, finding success and never returning, but those stories are not told for inspiration but rather disgust. One thing about those housed in this Project Garden, unity was essential. Poverty had a vise grip on those of Berchwin but close inter - family bonds gave Berchwin a sense of community pride. Even with the common ills of the projects; dysfunctional families, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, disease and poverty Tha' Berch was home to a special budding star. A star that was destined to represent the Garden... This young rose of "Weed Gardens" was destined because those before him of the same lineage and genes struggled. That struggle was passed down through painful family issues that created a youngster focused on not being like "them." Meet that youngster... Meet that star... Meet that rose amongst weeds.... See life through his eyes... Tobe Carberry and Samont Washington Present; The Sonny Chronicles, Volume One: First Things Learned Are Hardest to Forget.
Download or read book Television Variety Shows written by David M. Inman and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-12-03 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the few hundred television viewers in 1946, a special treat on the broadcast schedule was the variety show called Hour Glass. It was the first TV program to go beyond talking heads, cooking demonstrations, and sporting events, featuring instead dancers, comics, singers, and long commercials for its sponsor, Chase and Sanborn coffee. Within two years, another variety show, Texaco Star Theatre, became the first true television hit and would be credited with the sales of thousands of television sets. The variety show formula was a staple of television in its first 30 years, in part because it lent itself to a medium where everything had to be live and preferably inside a studio. Most of the early television stars--including Jackie Gleason, Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Ed Sullivan, Red Skelton, Dinah Shore, and Arthur Godfrey--rose to prominence through weekly variety shows. In the 1960s, major stars such as Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, Judy Garland and Danny Kaye were hosting variety shows. By the 1970s, the format was giving way to sitcoms and dramas, but pop music stars Sonny and Cher, Tony Orlando and Dawn, and Donny and Marie Osmond hosted some of the last of the species. This book details 57 variety shows from the 1940s through the 1990s. A history of each show is first provided, followed by a brief look at each episode. Air date, guest stars, sketches performed, and a listing of songs featured are included.

Download or read book Nashville Cats written by Travis D. Stimeling and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nashville Cats bounced from studio to studio along the city's Music Row, delivering instrumental backing tracks for countless recordings throughout the mid-20th century. Music industry titans like Chet Atkins, Anita Kerr, and Charlie McCoy were among this group of extraordinarily versatile session musicians who defined the era of the "Nashville Sound," and helped establish the city of Nashville as the renowned hub of the record industry it is today. Nashville Cats: Record Production in Music City is the first account of these talented musicians and the behind-the-scenes role they played to shape the sounds of country music. Many of the genre's most celebrated artists-Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, Floyd Cramer, and others immortalized in the Country Music Hall of Fame — and musicians from outside the genre's ranks, like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, heard the call of the Nashville Sound and followed it to the city's studios, recording song after song that resonated with the brilliance of the Cats. Author Travis D. Stimeling investigates how the Nashville system came to be, how musicians worked within it, and how the desires of an ever-growing and diversifying audience affected the practices of record production. Drawing on a rich array of recently uncovered primary sources and original oral histories,Âinterviews with key players, and close exploration of hit songs, Nashville Cats brings us back into the studios of this famous era, right alongside the remarkable musicians who made it happen.
