Brothers & Sisters

Customer Review: A nice edition to your Coldplay library.
Well, here's Coldplay's first release or you. It is quite enjoyable and has much in common with their first album in way of lyrical themes and overall sound. I find it a bit curious that none of these songs found their way onto CP's first record. They would have been better served and more appreciated there, but just as well. These are very good songs at a very fair price. So enjoy!
Customer Review: Own it before its no longer available
Its short but ColdPlay rocks and I own them all.


A student recently asked me; "Why is improvisation so mysterious." My response was that there is nothing mysterious about it at all.

Of course, I'm saying this because I have years of experience under my belt, but truthfully, once you understand that all you need to improvise is chords, the mystery disappears and satisfaction takes it place.

Most of the problems students have with improvising is their fear of trying it. They think they need to know college theory or advanced harmony first in order to begin creating in the moment. Nothing could be further from the truth! In fact, extensive knowledge of harmony and theory can actually create more problems than they solve.

For instance, in one of my piano lessons, Lesson 3: "Rainforest," I have two chords down in my left hand. I then use the G Major scale to improvise a melody and that's that! Nothing hard about it. No mystery here - just fun!

Once you have a definite exercise to play and know what your hands will be doing, it frees you up to create. You no longer have to worry about which chords to play or how to play them. You can focus your attention on the act of improvising melody and experience the joy of improvisation!

Unplugged is the latest Pop CD put out by the richly talented Maxwell who once again has delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. Im confident Maxwell fans, and Pop fans alike will be pleased with this one.

Unfortunately, its not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just cant force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Unplugged. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and youve got one of Maxwells most impressive releases ever.

I give Unplugged my highest recommendation. It just plain belongs in any serious music collectors collection regardless of genre preference.

While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 4 - This Womans Work, track 5 - Whenever Whereever Whatever, and track 7 - Gotta Get: Closer

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - The Suite Urban Theme. Good stuff!

Whipped Cream & Other Delights (40th Anniversary Edition)

40th Anniversary Edition Of The Classic Album!

1965's Whipped Cream & Other Delights transformed Herb Alpert & The Tijuana into bonafide superstars, spending an incredible 8 straight weeks at the top of the charts. The album was not only memorable for its music, but for the iconic cover art which featured model Dolores Erickson strategically swathed in whipped cream. The original twelve tracks revolve around the theme of food and include such classics the triple Grammy-winning hit, "A Taste of Honey" and the Dating Game theme "Whipped Cream." This special 40th Anniversary edition features two studio bonus tracks along with a 20-page booklet and a collector's poster.

Each album in the Herb Alpert Signature Series features meticulously remastered sound, deluxe packaging, detailed liner notes, and an intro by Herb Alpert containing personal recollections and anecdotes.
Customer Review: My own "Whipped Cream" fantasy
I have fond memories of this album from my childhood. I remember my mother trying to hide the album cover because it was so racy for the times(at least in So. LA). But the folks did play it often. The music is still great. It sound as wonderful today as it did forty years ago. It stands the test of time.
Customer Review: Yummy Whipped Cream
Herb Alpert is one of the great trumpet players and this album shows that. I could listen to him for hours.


No matter what kind of musical talent you decide on in the end, you will need to have an idea of the music you want played during the wedding ceremony. If you are following tradition and including the first dance with your groom, and then a dance with your dad, and the grooms dance with his mother, you will have to tell your DJ which songs you want to hear at those moments.

Your choices for wedding music during ceremony are limited only by your imagination. The only guideline you should be aware of is that you want to entertain your guests not drive them away. It is an added bonus if the music complements the theme and style of the day. In other words, for a very formal wedding, songs to play at a wedding receptions like a swing group or jazz quartet might go over a bit better than an alternative-music-type band. Whatever type or types of music you do decide on, remember that this form of entertainment is like a little gift you are giving to your guests, to add to their enjoyment of your wedding. Your best bet of wedding music during ceremony is to go with an all-inclusive song list that covers a broad spectrum of musical tastes some slow, some dance tunes, some rock, some soul.

You might already have a song that is special to the two of you that you will want to use for your moments in the spotlight on the dancer floor. If you do not have one, or if you do not want to use it because you do not want anyone else stealing if from you, consider some of these love songs for weddings.

In My Life (Beatles)

I Swear (All 4 One)

I Do (Cherish You) (98 Degrees)

At Last (Etta James)

Grow Old Along with Me (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

Its Love (Lena Horne)

If you have decided to learn a foreign language, why should you choose Spanish? There are plenty of good reasons for learning the Spanish language, not least of all because it is relatively easy for English speakers.

Many words in Spanish have the same origins as their English counterparts and in fact over two thousand words are more or less the same, with just slight variations in spelling. In fact, there are a few rules and once you've learned those, you will immediately have a vocabulary of over two thousand words in Spanish, which is impressive.

Word order in Spanish also tends to be similar to English word order and this makes it much easier to understand complete sentences and to build them yourself, both in written and spoken Spanish.

Spanish spelling is pretty straightforward and once you've learned pronunciation, most words are written the way they sound. This is much easier than English spelling, which is complex and doesn't seem to be at all logical!

Spanish pronunciation is relatively easy for English speakers and is especially easy for people from Ireland and Scotland. Grammar is easier than French grammar and so should not cause too many problems if you've already studied French.

Spanish is also one of the major world languages as it is spoken in many countries of Latin America and so is important in the business world. If you are looking for an international career, Spanish is one of the best languages you could learn. Fortunately, the differences between the Spanish spoken in Latin America and that spoken in Spain are not so great that they will cause many problems.

Spain has become a popular destination for British people, not only for holidays but also as a place in which they can retire or set up a business and enjoy the good weather and the advantages of the EU. So, anyone from the UK wanting to live and work abroad can enjoy a warm climate without moving too far from home. If you do plan to work in Spain, it is important to learn the language and there are plenty of classes on offer in the UK.

In the US, Spanish is widely spoken, making it the obvious choice as a second language and the proximity of Latin America offers a wide range of opportunity for both taking vacations and working abroad. Entrepreneurs can also target Latin America with their products and services.

So, Spanish is an excellent choice if you want to learn another language. Discover the best way to learn Spanish by visiting my website.

In our increasingly shrinking global world learning other languages seems like a natural progression. Speaking a second language acts as a window to a wider world. Specifically, becoming a Spanish as well as an English speaking member of the United States would yield both academic and cultural results while giving you a broader array of opportunities.

Spanish as a language has a foothold and a very bright future here in the United States. After English, Spanish is the second most common language in the United States. The influx of Spanish speaking immigrants from Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Mexico has greatly increased the number of Spanish speakers in the U.S.. Traditionally, an immigrant's original language tends to become reduced through generational assimilation. However, of the U.S. Hispanics only 9% speak English only. 50% of second generation immigrants speak Spanish at home. According to the US Census, the Latino population is expected to account for 44% of the nation's growth over the next 25 years.

The number of Spanish newspapers, magazines, publishers, local television stations and programs in the United States are constantly increasing. We are seeing trilingual labeling of products as a standard and bilingual labeling in public facilities becoming more commonplace. It is very safe to assume that Spanish will remain firmly in the number two spot for years to come. So, I think I have made my case as to the significance of Spanish in our country! Now I will move on to point out the personal benefits of learning to speak the language.

Spanish is one of the easiest languages to learn. Spanish is Latin based as are French and Italian. Russian and German also have some characteristics that are present in Spanish but not in English. Therefore if you can learn Spanish you have a head start at grasping other languages as well.

Much of the vocabulary of the English language has Latin origins. Therefore, learning Spanish could improve your English vocabulary as well. Studying a language involves thinking about how the language is structured. It is likely that while you are learning about how verbs are used in Spanish you may gain a greater understanding of English verbs' tenses and moods.

Connecting with our neighbors and cultural understanding is a huge benefit of learning Spanish. You most likely have or will have a Spanish speaking neighbor or co-worker. Communication is priceless. We gain so much from interacting with others and a language barrier greatly decreases the quality of any interaction. Spanish culture is also distinctly different from American culture. It is interesting and inspirational to become familiar with other customs, foods, histories and people. In some areas where the Latino population is a significant portion of the populous, learning Spanish is simply a way to participate fully in the life and culture of your environment.

Traveling to Spanish speaking countries is an entirely different experience when you speak the language. So many more doors are opened and opportunities presented!

Lastly, employment opportunities expand greatly by knowing Spanish. Medicine, education, international trade, communications and tourism are examples of professions that may require their applicants to be bilingual. And being that so many of our citizens are Spanish speaking there isn't a profession that could not benefit from having a bilingual employee. It will put you above other non Spanish speaking applicants hands down.

Resources are plentiful for materials that teach Spanish. There are a plethora of choices of learning methods. There are instructors and home based courses at every level imaginable and in all different forms. There are audio exercises you can practice while you drive or at the gym. There are conversation classes. There are internet based activities and educational computer games. A second language is mandatory in most grammar school curricculums throughout the U.S.. I strongly advise choosing Spanish although other languages are offered!

We are living in an increasingly shrinking global world. Learning to speak a second language is a logical progression. Becoming a Spanish as well as an English speaking member of the United States would broaden your array of opportunities both personally and professionally.
