Are you the individual who simply dreads flying? Does even the thought of sitting on a 6 hour flight simply cause your heart to race? You probably would drive across the country, but this would not be possible. You are representing your company in an important business trip in several days. You simply seek a solution to prevent what could turn out to be an anxiety attack as you think about that flight. Overcoming anxiety, especially when it comes to facing an event like flying can be a daunting task. First of all, I am compassionate to your problem. Personally, I love flying. One of my hobbies is computer jet simulations. I have even flown a single engine Cessna, with a relative who is a licensed pilot. However, I have another relative who is scared to board any airplane, or jet. It could be a small Cessna all the way up to a Boeing 747 jumbo jet. She has stated that if push comes to shove, the option of walking to her destination, (were it available to her) would be a better choice as opposed to flying at 35,000 ft. People who dislike flying have varying reasons as to why … Read more

Elo II is the latest Rock CD put out by the highly group Electric Light Orchestra and they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I’m confident Electric Light Orchestra fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one.

I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Elo II. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.

Listen and I think you’ll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Electric Light Orchestra is clearly a group that is in top form.

While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 4 – From The Sun To The World, track 6 – In … Read more

As a solo cellist he was known for his beautiful tone and intellectual strength, and he introduced Bach’s cello suites into the baroque repertoire . He was consider by many as one of the world’s truly great artists, who plays for them on his cello in the garden of the Governor’s palace. Casal not only was spanish, but he also had some latino blood in him, the renowned cellist who was born in Spain to a Puerto Rican mother, and later on in his life he did a few concerts in San Juan de Puerto Rico in honour of his mother.
Pablo Casal, the celebrated Silesia-born maestro is known not only for his musical excellence but also for his humanitarian involvement (he has, for instance, taken part in peaceful demonstrations, something that is rather unusual for a conductor) and his kindness.
He was such an amazing human being and artist that they created in his name, The Pablo Casals Festival. A music Festival that is now dedicated to chamber music and takes … Read more

For nearly a century, the internationally-acclaimed Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) has achieved greatness by providing audiences with unforgettable performances, visionary maestros, and illustrious guest artists. The DSO’s standards of musicianship and artistry on the stage of Orchestra Hall is admired throughout the world.
Founded in 1914, the DSO began when 10 young Detroit society women each contributed $100 and the pledge to find 100 additional subscribers to donate $10 each to support the symphony. Weston Gales, a 27-year-old church organist from Boston was hired as the music director and the first concert took place at the Old Detroit Opera House on Feb. 26, 1914.
Three years later, Gales left his position and was succeeded by Russian pianist Ossip Gabrilowitsch. Son-in-law of famed American writer Mark Twain, Gabrilowitsch was also a friend to composers Gustav Mahler and Sergei Rachmaninoff. Gabrilowitsch insisted the symphony required a home of its own and oversaw the building of Orchestra Hall, which was designed by noted architect C. Howard Craine. The hall opened in 1919.
Over the next two decades, the DSO became one of the finest and most prominent orchestras in the United States, performing with guest artists such as Enrico Caruso, Richard Strauss, Marian … Read more
