A while ago I was able to review the new Celtic Woman CD “Songs from the Heart” and offer a fabulous giveaway.  I was also given the amazing opportunity to review the Celtic Woman “Songs from the Heart” live show at Houston’s Toyota Center, but was unable to attend because of prior family commitments.  Instead, [...]

Our family became fans of Celtic Woman the moment we saw one of their programs on PBS.  The immense talent of the vocalists – Lisa Kelly, Chloe Agnew, Lynn Hilary, and Alex Sharpe, along with violinist Máiréad Nesbitt – and the entire crew of virtuoso musicians involved with the production took our breath away.  Celtic Woman is known [...]

Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book “Fantastic Mr Fox” has come to life on the big screen via the ecclectic vision of director Wes Anderson. The film has been designated a New York Times Critics’ Pick, heralded by The Washington Post as “a gift for the entire family,” and is definitely on my own family’s wish-to-see list.

Now you – my readers – might think I’m being silly or [...]

Just after the first of the year, the people with One2One Network (a word-of-mouth marketing network) offered to let me to review the new CD, Yanni Voices.  The idea behind the CD was that Yanni had reinterpreted some of his classic songs by bringing in four young, amazingly talented singers and allowing them the write lyrics to [...]
