Musical Notes: Musician/Composer Danny Klass Talk about Inspiration Behind His Music #Podcast!
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).

Secrets of the Red Carpet: Get the Glow from Sonya Dakar Skin Clinic & Paleta’s Detox Dual Treatments!!
Nothing is better in LA than a gorgeous day except if you are invited to a celebrity suite at Sonya Dakar’s Skin Clinic!! I was invited to attend and while I have been to the Dakar Clinic many times, I had never met Sonya Dakar. I know Chef Kelly Boyer of Paleta and am obsessed with her food, pressed juices and detox regimens. This is a healthy food regimen that’s healthy and can beef up your protein if you need it because you are working out or recovering from surgery or if you want to take off a few pounds!
It’s amazing gourmet food that doesn’t taste like a diet. YUMMMY! So I got to meet Sonya and see one of my favorite people all in the same day at the same place!
