  • "Die 11 Lieder Von Jenny Evans' CD Christmas Songs Sind Weit Entfernt
    CHRISTMAS SONGS ENJ-9481 2 Heart warming Christmas Songs – the title is not quite as original as the music behind it. In comparison to Diana Krall’s CD Jenny Evans offers more unexpected tones. Her repertoire coincides with her Canadian colleague in two numbers („The Christmas Song“, „Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas“) but apart from that the English woman who lives in Munich gives her Christmas album a definite European touch. Most noticably in her choice of material: she’s searched through Eruopean folk tunes and as well as English has also discovered German, Austrian and Czech songs that have never been rendered in a jazzy way. Some go backe to the 16th century (e.g. „The Coventry Carol“) for Jenny Evans, who started her career with piano lessons with the Baroque specialist Trevor Pinnock, then sang with the Henrich Schütz Choir and the Munich Motettenchor an ideal area to merge her love of Early Music with jazz by no means stretches the bow too far. She gives a a latin groove to “Blessed Be That Maid Mary” with its Latin and English lyrics, her own lyrics and an Akro-Cuban rhythm to a Czech Christmas lullaby and the Austrian “Still, still, still“ a world music touch with drone and yodelling. When she does go turn to the American repertoire whtn it is with a medley of two popular standards (“Little Drummer Boy / Nature Boy”) that have never been heard together. With her dulcet voice this vocalist can warm your heart and that is the main thing at this season.

  • Mars Oraa by Ken South
    Mars Oraa By Ken South In 1952 Harry Truman was President, the Today Show had its premiere on NBC, and many Americans heard the term transsexual for the first time with Christine Jorgensen’s sex reassignment surgery story. Mr. Potato Head was first revealed to the public, the first issue of Mad Magazine hit the stands and “Singin’ In The Rain” debuted at Radio City Music Hall. Johnnie Ray sang “Cry”, the Mills Brothers’ hit was “Glow Worm”, and Marlon Brando made the cry “Stella” famous in the movie, “Street Car Named Desire”. Also Elpidio Quirino was President of the Philippines when, in Manila, on the 6th of March, Mr. February joined his already large family of parents, four brothers and four sisters. Following his elementary school education, he graduated from vocational school in 1972 and received a degree as a hair dresser. He also excelled at a dance academy and during the 80s performed as a professional back-up dancer for several entertainers, including performing on television. The talented Mr. February also used his skills as a cook in several venues, including the United States Naval base at Subic Bay. And for two years, his cooking skills took him to work in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia! In 1992 Mr. F. joined some of his family in San Francisco, and became an American citizen in 1994. Over the next few years Mr. F. engaged both his cooking and hairdressing skills to work in several locations. He moved to Hartford, CT, and lived with one of his sisters for a few years, and while there made several trips to Boston to enjoy its fascinating gay scene.

  • Book Proposal 3
    Rock and Roll has Tender Moments too... ! Photographs by Chalkie Davies 1973-1988 ! For as long as I can remember people have suggested that I write a book, citing both my exploits in Rock and Roll from 1973-1988 and my story telling abilities. After all, with my position as staff photographer on the NME and later The Face and Arena, I collected pop stars like others collected stamps, I was not happy until I had photographed everyone who interested me. However, given that the access I had to my friends and clients was often unlimited and 24/7 I did not feel it was fair to them that I should write it all down. I refused all offers. Then in 2010 I was approached by the National Museum of Wales, they wanted to put on a retrospective of my work, this gave me a special opportunity. In 1988 I gave up Rock and Roll, I no longer enjoyed the music and, quite simply, too many of my friends had died, I feared I might be next. So I put all of my negatives into storage at a friends Studio and decided that maybe 25 years later the images you see here might be of some cultural significance, that they might be seen as more than just pictures of Rock Stars, Pop Bands and Punks. That they even might be worthy of a Museum. So when the Museum approached me three years ago with the idea of a large six month Retrospective in 2015 I agreed, and thought of doing the usual thing and making a Catalogue.

  • Gb 1456 Thomas
    GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION GERALD THOMAS COLLECTION SCOPE AND CONTENT Documents relating to the career of director GERALD THOMAS (Born Hull 10/12/1920, died Beaconsfield 9/11/1993). When Gerald Thomas died, his producer partner of 40 years Peter Rogers said: ‘His epitaph will be that he directed all the Carry On films.’ Indeed, for an intense 20-year period Thomas directed the Carry On gang through their innuendo laden exploits, and became responsible, along with Rogers, for creating one of the most enduring and endearing British film series, earning him his place in British popular culture. Thomas originally studied to become a doctor, before war service with the Royal Sussex Regiment put paid to his medical career. When demobilised in 1946, he took a job as assistant in the cutting rooms of Two Cities Films at Denham Studios, where he took Assistant Editor credits on Laurence Olivier’s Hamlet (1948) and the John Mills thriller The October Man (1947). In 1949, he received his first full credit as editor, on the Margaret Lockwood melodrama Madness of the Heart (1949). During this time Peter Rogers had been working as associate producer with his wife, producer Betty Box, on such films as It’s Not Cricket (1949) and Don’t Ever Leave Me (1949). It was Venetian Bird in 1952 that first brought Thomas and Rogers together; Thomas employed as editor by director brother Ralph, and Rogers part of the producer team with Betty Box. Rogers was keen to form a director/producer pairing (following the successful example of Box and Ralph Thomas), and so gave Gerald his first directing credit on the Circus Friends (1956), a Children’s Film Foundation production.

  • Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN #302
    Scout and Guide Stamps Club BULLETIN 52 Volume 53/ No. 6 (Whole No. 302) NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2008 1 Editorial Well, this is it - I’ve made a year as the Editor - and a very interesting time it has been as well! Mostly it has gone very smoothly and I am very grateful to those of you who have supported me by sending in articles. I can always do with more - especially for the “My Favourite Scout Stamp” pieces. There have been one or two problems - like letters going astray and e-mails not getting through but overall I feel that it has been a success and from the letters and e-mails that I’ve received I think you do too. So now we approach 2009 and Scouting’s 102nd year. I don’t know about you all but here we are slowly getting a series of Scout Groups celebrating their own Centenaries, with many issuing commemorative badges but, so far, no stamps or postmarks. I’ve been asked by several people about the franking mark that we sue on the Bulletin distribution. I hope that you all notice it was different this time - Guiding instead of Scouting. These franks belong to a company which trades as both “One Stop Scouting” and “One Stop Guiding” and sells items to both Movements, such as scarves (neckers), badges, camping equipment, etc. etc. So whilst it is not strictly a Scouting or Guiding meter mark it is at least strongly related. By the time that you are reading this we will be only about 18 months away from EuroScout 2010, which as I seem to be constantly reminding you is being held in Chelmsford in the UK.
