Sabu had a vivid spirit and singing hands.He was a good studio singer,a good drummer.He has a multiple origin from birth:Spanish,African and Caraibean,so he can combine different sounds from the diverse three cultures.The Cubanese rumba and son are combined in an original style.
Sometimes he sings prayers from his religion from Santeria,as a proof of his Spanish Harlem from New York origin.

Thelonious Monk.

2012-01-28T16:47:00.000+02:00

He has the reputation of one of the greatest composers of 20th century.But in the '50 he was in the shadow of the music scene.In '40 he played a great role in founding the bebop music in a night club in Harlem.He had played some jazz songs but,due to a false drugs conviction,the clubs in Manhatten were closed for him.
Later he met a member of an independent music agency and this made him again popular.
Monk played jazz but also pop music.He composed Brilliant Corners,song that made him again a good composer.

Count Basie.

2012-01-28T16:32:00.000+02:00

By the '50 the great success of Bill Basie's band was long gone.He needed an infusion of fresh blood and he found it in Neal Hefti,a young composer.
His last album was the last successful one.By the '60 he has become a good jazz figure till his death.

The Crickets.

2012-01-28T16:22:00.000+02:00

Buddy Holly had founded the band with his school colleague,the drummer Jerry Allison.The music is a combination of rock,blues,R&B,and a sensitive pop style.
The album Chirping is a short one,having less than a half an hour but it is an important rock performance.
Holly had a talent both as a singer but also as composer,qualities which will help him compose for The Beatles and The Rolling Stone.

Duke Ellington.

2012-01-28T16:11:00.000+02:00

He was a jazz singer.His performance in 1956 in Newport marked dramatically his career.His next CD was not from the Newport concert.So,the singer had to recorder again in studio.The album was a combination of live songs,studio records and sett ovations but,in spite of that,this album was the best seller of Duke's career.

Louis Prima

2012-01-28T15:49:00.000+02:00

Louis Prima was a very popular singer and trumpett singer in '30 and '40.Later he had no job but he created a show with a young musician from New Orleans as he was,too.They had a real success.
The jazz lovers considered Louis Prima an Italian imitator of Louis Armstrong.But the album of Prima is a success,full of living joy.
The singer is a happy man and the covers of his albums show him laughing.

The Louvin Brothers.

2012-01-28T15:36:00.000+02:00

It is said that you do not have to be a criminal,crazy,violent,a lonely person or a nostalgic one to be able to sing country style.Ira had some of this inclinations.The duet with the brother Charles had a good point in the duo singers tradition of the time.
Their music was a kind of bluegrass having a religious inspiration coming from the heart.
The cover of a known album show both of them having over a nervous blond figure having a broken letter in hand,imitating the style of the cheap love books.The role of this cover is to idealize the reality,it is said.Actually,these songs about temptation,weakness,sin and tragedy are real.

Elvis Presley.

2012-01-28T15:19:00.000+02:00

The first album of Elvis was not a
masterpiece,it was described as easy,compared with his following albums.He had not a really good public imagine but his famous song,Heartbreak Hotel,was not included on his first album.
He had something magical in his songs enough to make a musical revolution.
In Blue Moon song we find out his lonely soul.

Frank Sinatra.

2012-01-28T15:05:00.002+02:00

The beginning of '50 seemed to be for Frank Sinatra a dead end but with the help of a music producer,Alan Livingston,he gets the second chance.
His next two albums:Songs for young lovers and Swing easy were both remarkable.
The album The Wee small hours had been the most fascinating album about separation in the music history.It was really about the separation of the singer of Ava Gardner.

Important event in 1950.

American state,Hitler is officially declared dead,the first satellite is launched and the hula hoop circle is invented.
These are important events all around the world and in the following posts I will write about the music in the '50.

Lecturi.

2012-01-26T16:47:00.001+02:00

Citesc o biografie a Madonnei,una completa si obiectiva.Marti am cumparat cartea si am citit toata ziua,asa m-a captivat,desi e scrisa cu litere foarte mici,am citit aproximativ 100 pagini doar in prima zi.Nu,nu vreau un premiu sau o ...statuie pt asta,vreau doar sa zis ca biografia e chiar captivanta,nu arida cum sunt majoritatea.
Din carte reiese clar ca Madonna e sau a fost,mai precis,o persoana foarte calculata,s-a folosit de oameni pt a ajunge un star,asta desi nu avea vreun potential deosebit.
O carte care merita citita,e aparuta in 2009 dar am gasit-o la un vanzator particular din Sebes.

Cartea citita anterior e Jurnalele vampirilor vol. I de L.J.Smith.Am luat-o din gara Sighisoara si am citit tot drumul pana in Alba,astfel timpul nu a mai avut aceeasi notiune.De obicei,citesc in tren dar de cand citisem seria Amurgul,am devenit pasionata de vampiri.Cartea apare cu Bravo,marti a aparut vol.II si urmeaza saptamana viitoare vol.III.
Nu e asa incitant scrisa ca seria Amurgul dar e ok.
Deocamdata continui biografia Madonnei,apoi voi citi vol.II din Jurnalele Vampirilor.
Un tipp:cumparati cartea de la chiosc cu Bravo sau Bravo Girl,e numai 11 lei pe cand pe net,aceeasi carte e aproape 40 lei.
Pt mine e chiar penibil,la varsta mea venerabila,sa rasfoiesc reviste de liceu dar exista inca chestii...valabile.

Muzica mea acum.

2012-01-26T16:19:00.000+02:00

Ascult acum Robbie Williams,albumul din imagine care cuprinde 2 CD-uri.O muzica linistitoare,in principal,plina de romantism si tandrete.
Am cumparat discul din Austria,asta nu are importanta,evident dar in contextul in care nu mai cumpar discuri din Romania de mult,pe asta l-am luat ca nu aveam atunci net dar aveam un CD player de la cineva si vroiam sa ascult ceva in engleza.
Recomand discul.

Romania,H-stein,conducere,Sighisoara

2012-01-18T10:03:00.000+02:00

Am revenit in Romania in 8 ianuarie.Deja m-am acomodat.Am postat poza cu castelul din H-stein pt a-mi lua ramas bun de la oras in mod...oficial..Nu voi reveni in zona,am fost deja de 3 ori si nu mai vreau.

Asta nu inseamna ca nu mai merg in Austria.Voi merge iar dar in alta zona.Raman in tara maxim o luna jumatate si apoi plec iar.

Apropo,am permis auto de vreo 3 luni si ceva.Am condus in Austria cu doua persoane,pe doua masini diferite,relativ vechi si m-am simtit ok.

In Romania am condus masina tatalui meu care e un Opel Astra cu putere mare.Conduc relativ ok.Dar vreau sa invat mai mult sa conduc.

Momentan sunt in Sighisoara,aici nu am ce conduce dar nu voi mai ramane prea mult aici.Apropo,aici e zapada multa,pe cand in Sebes nu e deloc zapada.

Niste case din oras.

2011-12-25T21:19:00.000+02:00

Am facut niste poze cu case care m-au impresionat.Au o arhitectura speciala,e o poza cu herghelia din Klein Pertholz iar ultima e cu orasul pe inserat.

Pozele vorbesc de la sine,orice cuvant e de prisos.

Ce zapada a fost acum o saptamana!

2011-12-25T21:11:00.000+02:00

Acum o saptamana a nins serios in oras.Nu am putut iesi la plimbare cu doamna.
A nins cu fulgi mari si era frumos.Partea proasta e ca a trebuit evident sa curat zapada.
In schimb zilele astea s-a topit,nu a mai ramas nimic,iar omul meu de zapada e doar un mic musuroi.
Ieri si astazi am fost la plimbare,azi era drumul uscat,ideal pt plimbare.
Am hranit ratele din lac,am observat o gasca mai mica si doua ratuste pitice,negre care efectiv au disparut in apa ca pestii.

Silvia,prietena mea.

2011-12-24T21:02:00.000+02:00

Ea e Silvia,ma bucur ca am o poza cu ea.E Martora a lui Iehova si studiez Biblia cu ea cand sunt aici in Austria.E o persoana deosebita,cu multa rabdare si o apreciez foarte mult.
Ea si sotul ei sunt singurii Martori in Heidenreichstein.Mi-a trebuit 3 saptamani sa o gasesc pe Silvia si a meritat.
O consider prietena mea,desi prietenia e mai mult decat asta dar ea ma intelege din toate punctele de vedere si isi recunoaste propriile esecuri si slabiciuni,lucru mai rar intalnit.
Nu cred ca mai revin in acest oras dar voi tine legatura prin mail cu ea si ne vom intalni in ...Paradis,asta depinde numai de mine.
Atasez niste poze din casa ei din padure care e asa speciala,ca o oaza si e decorata de sotul Silviei,Jürgen care e designer.

STIMMEDER sau magazinul cu ceasuri si bijuterii din H-stein.

2011-12-24T13:51:00.000+02:00

Pozele de la Stimmeder sunt azi facute.Mi-am cumparat un ceas micut verde si am avut ceva timp si de facut poze.
Aici e ceasornicarul orasului care poate repara orice ceas dar unde se pot si cumpara ceasuri de firma si bijuterii din diverse materiale,de la metale pretioase la pietre pretioase.
Proprietarul magazinului a spus ca a fost in Romania,in Sibiu,Alba-Iulia si in Apoldul de Sus si a studiat obiceiurile sasilor batrani ramasi in Ardeal.Are intentia sa mearga din nou pt ca e interesant totul,a zis.

Micul om de zapada al micutei Jülia.

2011-12-24T13:39:00.000+02:00

Acesta e omul de zapada facut de Jülia,micuta vecina de origine turca.

Nu am putut posta poza din motive obiective dar acum sunt fericita ca am putut-o face.

Micuta a zis ca omul ei de zapada e asa mic fata de al meu dar am consolat-o spunand ca si ea e mica.

HOME,SWEET HOME!

2011-12-23T21:52:00.002+02:00

Mai am 15 zile si voi pleca acasa.Sunt nerabdatoare.

Am primit un cadou de la doamna pe care o ingrijesc,astfel ca am putut sa-mi fac mie insami un cadou,niste ghete din piele veritabila la care am visat de 1 an,cand le-am vazut prima data in magazinul de costume populare Trachtenoutlet.Am o poza cu ele,sper sa o pot posta.

Voi ramane in Romania nu mai mult de o luna,timp in care decid ce voi face si vin din nou in strainatate,nu stiu daca in Austria,vad eu.

Acestea sunt ghetele cumparate,sunt mandra de achizitie!
Mi se potrivesc ca stil total deoarece eu sunt genul cu bocanci,sport,nonelegant dar confortabil si practic.
Firma producatoare a bocancilor e Spieth und Wensky si e specializata pe accesorii pt costumele populare austriece.
Pozele cu casutele sunt personal facute in niste vitrine din oras.

Omul meu de zapada.

2011-12-23T21:36:00.000+02:00

Ieri seara am facut un om de zapada pe aleea din fata casei.Anul trecut am facut un om de zapada in curtea din spate.Zapada nu prea avea aderenta,asa ca a fost ceva de lucru.

Fiica vecinei a facut si ea un mic om de zapada.

Chestia cu omul de zapada pare trasnita dar pt mine a fost o veritabila placere sa il fac,m-am simtit iar copil si asta a fost extraordinar.

Descoperirerea lacului MIC al comunitatii.

2011-12-19T22:43:00.000+02:00

Am descoperit,ajutata de o colega care stia deja unde e,lacul mic numit kleine Gemeide Teich.

Se poate numi descoperire deoarece am fost de multe ori in zona dar nu l-am vazut pt ca era departe de mica poteca.

Nu e prea spectaculos in perioada asta a anului deoarece toate lacurile sunt secate intentionat pt a se putea pescui pt Craciun dar si din alte motive pe care nu le cunosc.

Apropo,aici de Craciun se mananca peste si ...gasca.Anul trecut am experimentat asta.Pot spune ca gasca gatita aici e delicioasa!!!!
