This DVD shows Beres Hammmond at his best! Have this DVD for about 5 years now, but you cannot tell how old it is when you watch- it’s timeless! I love to play it at get-togethers. It’s a treasured piece in my reggae music collection. Love u Beres!

A true title for this book would be: “Conversations with a demon; as channeled by Neale Donald Walsch”
If you are truly seeking the one and only true God, the creator of heaven and earth, who loves you and Who sacrificed His Son Jesus so that you could spend eternity with Him, you won’t find Him anywhere in this book.
Please, do not be deceived by this man’s demonic ramblings!
And if you are really seeking truth, pick up a King James Bible and start reading! Pray that God will reveal Himself to you and that He will give you the faith to believe His word.
Well, when it comes to getting first hand knowledge as to how the music industry functions, you can’t go wrong by watching this one. The amazing part about it is that it contains footage from both artists and executives. So, I really felt like I was able to see both sides of the music industry; the struggle to make it as an artist (such as myself), and struggle to become an executive. It was also just cool to hear people like Sting, Fred Durst, and Rob Zombie talk about their thoughts on the industry rather than their music. Anyways, if you have any aspirations of getting into the music industry this would be a great place to start. I use this dvd as my coach and inspiration
Inside Sessions The Music
I watched this incredible dvd several times in recent months, including one of the
extras, which is a great radio interview of the filmmaker and the principal first and
second violinists of the Philadelphia Orchestra. 5 stars isn’t a high enough rating – this
is more than a must see for (classical) music lovers.
In my experience this is a totally unique production. Interesting, entertaining, intimate,
thought-provoking interviews of professional orchestral musicians are the main focus,
interweaved with many scenes of the musicians in live performances, in rehearsals as an orchestra
or in smaller groups, as well as in other venues, playing chamber music and also non-classical
music – I’ll pass on the bluegrass, but the scene with the trombonist playing Latin music was
great! These fine musicians discuss their craft and music itself from many points of view. The
interviews are done sometimes with only one musician, other times in groups. And of course
either in the background, or in the foreground, we are always hearing great classical music.
I felt like on some level I was really getting to know some of the musicians, through the
magic of music, and because of the depth, directness, and honesty of their comments. There
are so many inspiring, insightful comments, so much music packed in to this 90-minute
production, along with interesting travel footage of the orchestra in Europe and Asia.
A few of the comments/scenes I noted:
a) “You can’t define great musicianship, but you know when you hear it.”
b) We might think that musicians are competitive (and they are sometimes!), and yet on
the dvd we hear otherwise. One violinist comments on how blown away he was when he heard
Sarah Chang play a Paganini concerto when she was nine. He and another musician express not
envy but are rather deeply inspired by her phenomenal talent.
c) The amazing story of the concertmaster, David Kim, who didn’t quite make it as a
soloist, but still feel
Music From the Inside
This is an AWESOME value. I’m loving it’s cleaning power so far. It is a bit loud, as stated, but that a good trade-off for the price and performance.
Music Expressions Grade 1
This is my first running training aide purchase and I absolutely love it. While it is a little bulky, it is worth every penny I spent on it. The 405 is smaller, but I couldn’t justify the difference in cost to simply get watch functionality (which is buried in the 305) and a slightly smaller package. The heart rate monitor, GPS, and all the training features make this a MUST HAVE when starting to run.
Legends of Beach Music
I was left puzzled after reading the book, which isn’t surprising. It’s quite a confused book.
Having digested it a little though, I do believe it’s excellent. The things I loved are exactly the ones which annoy some other reviewers:
- No visible plot. The main character sort of lives his days, doing stupid things and fretting about them. I found that very charming.
- The silly teenage language from the late 40′es / early 50′es. It annoyed me at first, but then I enjoyed it.
- The whiny narrative. Yep, it was a bit over the top whiny; but I thought it was compensated by the inspired passages that were observant and kind. In fact, the narrative left me feeling the guy may have loved the people he claimed to ‘hate’.
- The repetitiveness of some key themes and thoughts. I found it very natural.
Separately, the characterization was breathtaking, I thought. Maybe Salinger was doing a bit too much of it (e.g. characterizing the taxi drivers and random kids in the museum), but I could feel he was having fun with it and it did come out very well.
Maybe it’s just me. I love the non-linear, honest stories like this, that don’t drive a specific ‘plot’, but rather explore a person.
Festival of Music 2
I was very pleased with this wet-vac, though it took me a while to assemble it. I heated the water before pouring it into the reservoir. I couldn’t believe how dirty the suctioned water was AFTER the carpet was first vacuumed!
I started out just cleaning the heavy traffic/soiled areas, and it cleaned so well, that it made the rest of the carpet look dirty afterwards. I ended up doing all of it, except under furniture. I couldn’t believe the difference it made. This is one of those products that after using it the first time, you can hardly wait to use it again.
By the way, reading other people’s reviews helped me pick this model. I had never used a wet vac on carpet before. I am so glad I bought rather than rented the product.
Music Basics Violin Complete
This is a really fun series that blasts off right out of the gate. Good for kids 9 and up I think. It’s alot lighter than Harry Potter.
