I personally go to ballet only to impress. I got to tell you, hair pulled back into a bum, tutus, and 90 pound ladies on their toes has never been my thing - Oooooh and guys in very tight stockings make me wince - if you are the same, please work through the first 52 seconds of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake's odette variation danced by Marina Rzhaannikova and the dancing gets a lot better with the likes of River Dance; Michael Jackson; Gene & Cid; Elvis; John Travolta; Edward G. Robinson; Patrick Swayze and many other-- Then....if this Dance video doesn't get your blood pumping, your toes twirling and your fingers snapping then call your local VA hospital - or maybe you are just not old enough --- yet --Hess--

Marine Stuns Crowd at Tea Party
"IN GOD WE TRUST" Politics be damned. Listen to this ex-marine sing the 2nd stanza to the National Anthem, which is seldom played, sung or heard.
.
Since the words to the National Anthem were written in 1814, I have a hard time understanding why today's Washingtonians say that "In God We Trust" should be taken off our money, etc. Could it be that they are just plain ignorant of history and a whole lot more! Watch this crowd. In the beginning when he started to sing, they were not even aware he was singing the national anthem.

If you enjoyed Frank Sinata AND Andre Rieu you will enjoy this
The name Rieu is of French Huguenot origin. He began studying violin at the age of five. His father, of the same name, was conductor of the Maastricht Symphony Orchestra. From a very young age he developed a fascination with orchestra. He studied violin at the Conservatoire Royal in Liège and at the Conservatorium Maastricht, (1968-1973). His teachers included Jo Juda and Herman Krebbers. From 1974 to 1977, he attended the Music Academy in Brussels, studying with André Gertler, getting his degree "Premier Prix" from the Brussels Royal Conservatory.

Orson Wells Relates History of the Battle Hymn of the Republic
Whitney Houston singing Battle Hymn Of republic [Live from "Welcome Home Heroes" concert, Norfolk, Virginia, USA, 1991] The Battle Hymn of the Republic is a hymn by American writer Julia Ward Howe using the music from the song "John Brown's Body". Howe's more famous lyrics were written in November 1861 and first published in The Atlantic Monthly in February 1862. The song links the judgment of the wicked at the end of time (Torah/New Testament) with the American Civil War. Since that time it has become an extremely popular and well-known American patriotic song. The tune was written around 1856 by William Steffe. The first known lyrics were called "Canaan's Happy Shore" or "Brothers, Will You Meet Me?" and the song was sung as a campfire spiritual. The tune spread across the United States, gaining a reputation as the best song of its time. Thomas Bishop, from Vermont, joined the Massachusetts militia before the outbreak of war and compiled a popular set of lyrics, circa 1860, titled "John Brown's Body", which became one of his unit's walking songs. According to writer Irwin Silber (who has written a book about Civil War folk songs), the original lyrics were about John Brown, the famed abolitionist.

Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace is a Christian hymn with lyrics written by the English poet and clergyman John Newton (1725-1807), published in 1779. With a message that forgiveness and redemption are possible regardless of the sins people commit and that the soul can be delivered from despair through the mercy of God, "Amazing Grace" is one of the most recognizable songs in the English-speaking world. Newton wrote the words from personal experience. He grew up without any particular religious conviction but his life's path was formed by a variety of twists and coincidences that were often put into motion by his recalcitrant insubordination. He was pressed into the Royal Navy and became a sailor, eventually participating in the slave trade. One night a terrible storm battered his vessel so severely that he became frightened enough to call out to God for mercy, a moment that marked the beginning of his spiritual conversion. His career in slave trading lasted a few years more until he quit going to sea altogether and began studying theology. Ordained in the Church of England in 1764, Newton became curate of Olney, Buckinghamshire, where he began to write hymns with poet William Cowper. "Amazing Grace" was written to illustrate a sermon on New Year's Day of 1773. It is unknown if there was any music accompanying the verses, and it may have been chanted by the congregation without music. It debuted in print in 1779 in Newton and Cowper's Olney Hymns, but settled into relative obscurity in England. In the United States however, "Amazing Grace" was used extensively during the Second Great Awakening in the early 19th century. It has been associated with more than 20 melodies, but in 1835 it was joined to a tune named "New Britain" to which it is most frequently sung today. Author Gilbert Chase writes that "Amazing Grace" is "without a doubt the most famous of all the folk hymns", and Jonathan Aitken, a Newton biographer, estimates that it is performed about 10 million times annually. It has had particular influence in folk music, and become an emblematic African American spiritual. Its universal message has been a significant factor in its crossover into secular music. "Amazing Grace" saw a resurgence in popularity in the U.S. during the 1960s and has been recorded thousands of times during and since the 20th century, sometimes appearing on popular music charts.
Stumbled across this video and for many ubiquitous reasons choose to post it here - for you, the DMS crowd and anyone else out there in cyberland that “stumbles across our site. This music is just a taste of our youth but “I liked it” and I hope it brings a grin to your face and a right foot that keeps time with yesteryear. --Hess--
