Transition to Online Music

Friday, August 28th, 2009

It’s hard to believe that in just a couple decades we’ve moved from vinyl records to compact discs to downloading online music. I remember the first time I read about iTunes and eMusic. It seemed a little weird to me to think about “not getting anything” with my music. I wanted the lumpy object. Part of what was fun about buying a new album was the album art and liner notes.

Honestly though, now that I’m used to it, I prefer the convenience of shopping for music online and I can do without the added packaging. I can always find reviews and notes online.

Free Podcasts Of My Interviews

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

I’ve been going back through all of the interviews I’ve done over the years for the radio station, and I’m thinking about putting them up online as free podcasts for people to download. I’ve got a lot of great stuff I’ve collected over the years. Just the acts we’ve had in for the sweet corn festival alone would be enough to keep the program going for a couple years.

I guess I’m getting old, looking back like this. I listened to several of the interviews over the weekend, and it’s interesting how times have changed, and also how much better I’ve gotten over the years. Can’t believe how much I interrupted people 30 years ago.

My daughter and future son-in-law attend college in Sussex. They will be married next June and are in need of a wedding photographer. I had heard that for wedding photography Sussex has many great choices. A friend of mine had told me about a particular photographer her daughter had chosen from Sussex. This photographer took an artistic approach. None of the photos, except of course for the traditional poses that are a must, had a posed look to them. They were all natural-looking, spontaneous photos that truly captured all the special moments of the big day. I think that this type of photography is they way of the future.

My parents sent me to college in New England partly so that I could get an excellent education and partly because they secretly hoped I would meet a young man from a fine older family.  I grew up in Alabama and love it there, but my folks are originally from Massachusetts.  My mother dreamed of my huge church wedding in one of the old cathedrals near her home town. I did meet my future husband in college, but his southern roots go back for generations.  We had a glorious Alabama Beach Wedding and even my mother admitted that no church ceremony could have been more beautiful.

Do You Teach Belly Dance?

Friday, August 7th, 2009

In the years since my husband and I were stationed in southern Europe with the United States Navy, I remembered how the dance troupes from Morocco would tour the military base clubs and what wonderful belly dancers they had.  It has recently come up in conversation with my young adult daughter when we saw your ad for Houston Dance.  We thought perhaps you might offer this as a class, not only for the performance side but how beneficial it would be as a fitness program as well.  I do know that there is much history to this form of dance which we would like to become familiar with as well.
