Interesting story of a grandson of slaves ... Thx Ramey H!
A Grandson of slaves, a boy was born into a poor neighborhood of New Orleans known as the "Back of Town."His father abandoned the family when the child was an infant, His mother became a prostitute and the boy and his sister had to live with their grandmother. Early in life he proved to be gifted for music and with three other kids he sang in the streets of New Orleans. His first gains were the coins that were thrown to them.A Jewish family, Karnofsky, who had immigrated from Lithuania to the USA had pity for the 7-year-old boy and brought him into their home.Initially given 'work' in the house, to feed this hungry child. There he remained and slept in this Jewish families home where, for the first time in his life he was treated with kindness and tenderness.When he went to bed, Mrs. Karnovsky sang him a Russian Lullaby that he would sing with her.Later, he learned to sing and play several Russian and Jewish songs. Over time, this boy became the adopted son of this family.The Karnofskys gave him money to buy his first musical instrument; as was the custom in the Jewish families. They sincerely admired his musical talent.Later, when he became a professional musician and composer, he used these Jewish melodies in compositions, such as St. James Infirmary and Go Down Moses.The little black boy grew up and wrote a book about this Jewish family who had adopted him in 1907.In memory of this family and until the end of his life, he wore a star of David and said that in this family he had learned "how to live real life".You might recognize his name.This little boy was called Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong.Louis Armstrong proudly spoke fluent Yiddish!

The Platters were prophetic with "The Great Pretender" in 1955 ... Thx Ramey H!
The
Platters
Little
did the Platters know in 1955 that this song would be so popular and
appropriate in 2014, 59 years later.
You
folks of longer tooth will remember the words and will probably be
singing along with the Platters.

The typewriter (The Song) Thx Dr. H!
The
Typewriter (The Song)
Leroy Anderson (1908-1975) was an American composer of short, light concert pieces, many of which were introduced by the Boston Pops Orchestra under the direction of Arthur Fiedler. As with all his other compositions, Leroy Anderson wrote The Typewriter for orchestra, completing the work on October 9, 1950.
This particular orchestration was performed in a June 12, 2011 concert by members of the National Orchestra and Chorus of Spain in Madrid. The (typewriter) soloist is Alfredo Anaya. Watch his expressions and actions throughout the video...wonderful!
You will find this rendition absolutely delightful.
If you aren't at least smiling at the end, you REALLY MUST BE HAVING A VERY BAD DAY!
This is for all the ancients who
remember what a typewriter was!

Whispering Hope- Musical Leaf Thx Dr. H!
Subject: Musical leaf-Whispering Hope
This is so very beautiful & unbelievable.
Oh man, this is totally awesome. It gave me chills. I've never
heard it played so beautifully.

It looks a little silly
when it starts out, but what a blessing seeing someone using the
simplest element - a leaf - to make worship to God! I'll bet He was smiling bigger than a rainbow! If you know the words to this beautiful old hymn, you will find it even more incredible! |

Jackie Brown A sad moment in time
----- Original Message -----
From: Jackie Brown

I consider this to be a tremendously tragic story. Jackie
You may have seen this before, but maybe it's worth another look.
PERCEPTION
. . . Something To Think About. . .
Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approx. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.
4 minutes later:
The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk.
6 minutes:
A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.
10 minutes:
A 3-year old boy stopped but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.
45 minutes:
The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $32.
1 hour:
He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before Joshua Bell sold out a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a true story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment aboutperception, taste and people's priorities.
The questions raised:
*In a common place environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty?
*Do we stop to appreciate it?
*Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
One possible conclusion reached from this experiment could be this:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made.
How many other things are we missing
