Musical Notes: Musician/Composer Danny Klass Talk about Inspiration Behind His Music #Podcast!
October 10, 2013 | 
Author It’s always interesting to me to talk to a musician or composer or performer outside of my typical genres of pop, indie, top 40 or alternative music. I find the people who do contemporary updates on versions of classic ballads/pop music from 30′s on forward or country-western (not typically what is on my list of music genres) is often interesting and even challenges me to open up my mind, my heart and my musical ear to something new– often with great results. I loved talking to Brian Culbertson & suddenly found myself back intensely into jazz for a long time. I found a couple of R&B singers who were so great.. and I wound up falling back into my R&B and soul groove (yeah yeah– it’s true. When I was in high school, my best friend was Japanese and she loved R&B and got me hooked on it — as a few other genres too. She made sure I knew how to dance too. That’s what BFF’s are for).

New York Fashion Week: Redken Hair Styles Walk the Runway! Amanda Green Guest Blogger!
New York Fashion Week is one of the biggest events in the fashion world…period. Every fashion designer is at the top of their game, pursuing absolute perfection in a combination of general style, clothing, hair, and makeup.

Celebrity Style Slam: Who “Hit a Home Run”, “Base Hit”; and the “What Were They Thinking” Crowd!! Part 2
- The most interesting part of the “red carpet” events happens to be the actual RED CARPET itself– meaning watching all the celebs walk down the red carpet and talk to the press- particularly the women who are quizzed about the fashions they are wearing. Here’s my short version this time as everyone from Nancy Lichtenstein to Karen Starr DelloIancono are swamped to their eyeballs. I don’t even think they watched the show. (To be honest, I didn’t either. I was busy pulling images!)
Taking a page from the baseball, let’s make this evaluation easy to understand about what was right, what was missing, what was a mistake and how it could have been fixed. Since I am doing this solo without a podcast, I am going to split this up into a couple of posts so that you don’t spend an hour looking at this because that’s waaaaaaay too long. So here’s what I have for today: the Base Hit and the ” What Were They Thinking”? groups.
