BRUSH - By the mood of the party and the music that echoed off the walls, the last thing most would expect Mary Bostrom to say about her birthday is that it’s just another celebration. “It's just -- I had birthdays, that's all,” Mary Bostrom said. But her friends and family will tell you it’s always a big deal with someone gets to celebrate birthday No. 99. “It’s wonderful. It’s great,” Mary’s friend, Alene Johnson at the Eben Ezer Lutheran Care Center, said. “If it were me, I would be well honored, that's for sure.”

Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun 1970

An event hosted by METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich at the University of California-Berkeley earlier this month was interrupted by liberal students who stormed the stage in protest of subpar conditions endured by contract workers on campus. One student allegedly assaulted Salesforce.com founder Marc Benioff during the incident. Benioff was on campus on March 2 to participate in the public forum intended to explore the creative culture of the Bay Area through conversations with other leading cultural figures from the community, including Ulrich and the drummer's father, Torben Ulrich, who at 87 is still active in music, film and poetry. Members...

This is one of my favorite Orchestral Music pieces of all time. I know every note of this. I found this to be a particularly lovely version, and the camera work highlighting the members of the orchestra is nice too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17lEx0ytE_0&index=15&list=PL31D875377959CDD0 Just a little break from politics.

For decades, blues musician Daryl Davis has been raising eyebrows with his unconventional hobby: befriending and converting bigoted members of the Ku Klux Klan, whose white hoods he symbolically collects along the way. “I try to bring out the humanity in people,” he told The Daily Beast following the SXSW premiere of Accidental Courtesy, a documentary about Davis and his unorthodox methods that sparked provocative Q&As at the festival. Sitting down to chat in Austin, Texas, flanked by director Matthew Ornstein and ex-KKK member Scott Shepherd, Davis smiled warmly. “We all are human beings at the end of the day.” The...

Sydney Kyte's Orchestra "Ooh That Kiss" & "My Donna Rita" (British dance band Durium Dance Band) 1932

My son is 16 and is a fairly good musician. He started with clarinet, then moved to Sax and is really good at sax. From that experience, he is very good at reading music and music theory. For the past couple of years he has also been investing in the guitar and is now at the point that he is not benefiting from his high school program. We have been sending him to private tutors and he is now studying Satriani, Yes, Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen's arpeggios from hell, and to my untrained ear doing very well. The boy gets...

Rock star Keith Emerson killed himself because he feared he was no longer good enough as a musician, his girlfriend exclusively told The Mail on Sunday last night. The 71-year-old founder and keyboard player of Emerson, Lake and Palmer was 'tormented with worry' about upcoming concerts in Japan because nerve damage to a hand had affected his playing, said Mari Kawaguchi. She found Emerson's body when she returned to the apartment the couple shared in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, early on Friday morning. He had shot himself with a gun he kept for protection. 'Keith wasn't feeling well on Thursday...

Stewart Copeland, best known as the drummer for the Police, immediately strikes one as friendly and lively when reached by phone recently at his home in Los Angeles. A reporter needs only toss up a question and sit back and listen. A film composer for many years, Copeland has lately taken up – for want of a better term, or one he likes – classical music, and is at work on his fifth opera. His score for the silent film version of “Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ,” a mix of symphonic rock and contemporary classical, brings him to the...
