;o)
Hope your Hyacinths picture turns out so we can all enjoy.
Glad you are feeling better.

[JustAmy]

I’ll bring the chips and salsa. Are you sure you will have enough margaritas? :^ )

[JustAmy]

Very nice, Dolly. I will save some of them for later. If I watch all now, I will never catch up. :^)

Thank you for bringing us beautiful music links.

[DollyCali]

(sip, sip... or gulp, gulp)....thanks yorkie! It is 5 o clock somewhere!

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks for all the music links, Dolly. I had never heard of Celtic Woman before, but enjoyed your links, so I downloaded one of their albums to add to my play-list. They are the genre as Enya and Loreena McKennitt, so naturally, I like them. They are all beautiful women too! :-)

Any Phantom fans here?

Sarah Brightman & Antonio Banderas - The Phantom Of The Opera

Paul Potts... remarkable brings a tear maybe?

[DollyCali]

Enya is another fav of mine. New age music (some of it) is played here often!

Titanic- Book of Days- Enya

"Any Phantom fans here?"

YES! Years ago, it was performed in Phoenix, and several of us gals went. Incredible!

Here is Josh Groban, singing Music of the Night, and Andrew Lloyd Webber is in the audience - his emotional reactions are something to see, as he watches Josh Groban sing 'his' music:

You Tube clip - Josh Groban - Music of the Night

great clip

I wonder how many other wonderful things ALW would have written for Sarah Brightman had they remained married.

[yorkie]

OMG, I didn't know they had been married. Perhaps THAT is why he was so emotional in that clip! (Thank you - I love to learn at least one new thing, every day!)

[Billie]

Good afternoon, Amy's Place! Wonderful start to a new month with yesterday's pretty spring flowers, along with all thepretty birds and poems and stuff!

And now we're off to a great start for this "Week of Music" - with a different genre every day! Yay! Got mine ready for tomorrow.

Cute Ragtime post today, Lori and also all your additional music & illustrations, Amy. A toe-tapping way to get us energized. Thank you!

Thank you, Aqua, for Sunday's pretty opening graphic and music. Hope to see more from you!

[GodBlessUSA]

Enjoying Maple Leaf now!

(from Wiki)

Sarah Brightman (born 14 August 1960) is an English classical crossover soprano, actress, songwriter and dancer. She sings in many different languages including English, Spanish, French, Latin, German, Italian, Hindi and Mandarin.

Brightman debuted as a dancer in troupes such as Hot Gossip and later released a string of disco singles. She was a musical theatre performer and partner of theatre composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, with whom she originated roles including Christine Daaé in The Phantom of the Opera. Her 1984 marriage to Andrew Lloyd Webber ended in 1990.

After her divorce, Brightman became a crossover artist with former Enigma producer Frank Peterson. Her style, a blend of classical vocals and pop-inspired instrumentation and arrangement, earned her further success. Brightman has received 160 Gold and Platinum awards in 34 countriesand is the only artist to hold #1 spots on the Billboard Classical and Dance charts simultaneously. She has sold 26 million albums worldwide, making her the biggest-selling soprano of all times.
