There are several CDs featuring Respighi’s Ancient Airs and Dances, so take time to look over the choices. The link is the particular recording I have and I highly recommend it. Some of the CD recordings are somewhat rare and command a high price so be careful when you order. Know what you are getting. […]
William Bernstein Recommends Saving More and Spending Less
William J. Bernstein, in a recent interview, projects modest market gains (2% net expenses) over next two decades. That does not bode well for the 45 to 55 age generation. Here is a quote from the Bernstein interview. “The way you’re going to get rich is by working hard; not spending a lot of money […]
Katherine Jenkins: “La Diva” is CD Recommendation for Week
Katherine Jenkins, “La Diva” is my CD recommendation for the week. If the cost is a little steep, then go to Pandora and set up a Katherine Jenkins station. Pandora does not allow one to listen to specific songs, but you will find music that is pleasant to the ear. Perhaps a reader knows where […]
Northern Lights: Sissel
Northern Lights, featuring Sissel, is my CD recommendation for the week. One of my favorite cuts has Sissel singing “Quando Sento Che Mi Ami” with Jose Carreras.

Biggs and Boston Brass: CD Recommendation for Week of 7 June 2015
The Antiphonal Music of Gabrieli is my classical music recommendation this week. Grab this CD if you can find any available, particularly if you like early music. Giovanni Gabrieli (1557 – 1612) spans the period from early music into the Baroque Era. Just in case this CD is unavailable, a good substitute is Arcangelo Corelli’s […]
