Fix You (Piano Vocal, Sheet Music)
FIX YOUSeries: Piano VocalArtist: ColdplaySheet music.It is that phase in the economic cycle when people do a reality check. Uncertainty looms ahead, and managements drive themselves crazy figuring out where the next big check is going to come from to keep the wheels of the organization running. Cowering in our own cubicle or workbench, we never know when they will hand us our proverbial pink slip and bid us goodbye.
There are two alternatives to handle this economic condition. The first is the tried and tested. Dignity in one pocket and resume in the other, we knock at the doors of the other companies whose outward facade conveys an impression of everything being hunky-dory inside. And get rejected by the people who aren't sure when they themselves will get the boot.
Let us consider this alternative from a different angle. When we were born, we used to be cleaned and washed, fed and clothed and generally taken care of. We used to look up to somebody to do all that for us. Haven't we continued with the same pattern, of looking up to somebody, of expecting a job to become available that we can perform, which will feed us and clothe us and generally fulfill our material needs? Isn't it time we grew up?
As kids, we were given an extra dollop of ice-cream for being good. Remember the visits of the Santa Claus every year? Now we expect somebody to pat our ego and nurse our pride with lofty-sounding designations and nifty little perks - the corner office, that special parking space, the vacation with the family, the topped-up bonus and that ESOP handout, the promotion that gives us the opportunity to look down upon people who once were peers, thank you. And when these goodies are not forthcoming, we sulk and we pout and we go look for another Santa Claus. Tell me really, have we grown up at all?
And so let us see what the second alternative looks like. Here it is!
Which is to use the season of doom and economic gloom to go inward and realize that this actually is an opportunity to get out of the rat race once and for all and do our own thing. Set up our own shop. Be our own boss. Hoist our own flag. I am running out of symbolism, but you get the idea.
Returning again to the kid analogy, remember the things that we enjoyed doing when we were young and not yet entered the rat race, the things that thrilled us the most? When we did what we did because we liked doing what we were doing, and not because we had to do what we ended up doing because that was what the boss wanted us to do. Or else. There is money to be made, you know, in doing things that we enjoy and are passionate about. It is only a question of figuring out how. Let me also tell you, that the figuring out how happens only during times of economic recession, and not when the going is good and everybody is smiling and doing the rumba.
"Realize your own potential" becomes a cliche when the HR boys and girls use it while dangling the golden cage before us. It becomes a mantra when we use it to really understand how far we can go when we are on our own. Have we forgotten life outside the cage? Have we forgotten - or worse, never ever known? - what it means to be free and to do our own thing? To set our own goals, to make our own targets, and to soar as high as our wings and our ambitions can take us?
Or have we become rather addicted to our inner child's needs being taken care of by that neatly-suited-booted HR manager and his / her team of cohorts and headhunters and detectives, spying on every move we make outside the office and trying to figure out what must be going on in our mind, so that we can be, uh, appropriately manipulated?
Or have we rather come to enjoy the performance reviews where the senior takes malicious pleasure in nitpicking the omissions and commissions that we may or may not have indulged in throughout the year? Like the stern teacher handing over the grades in class. The armpits used to sweat the same way then too, didn't they?
Or have we rather come to relish the politics and the backbiting and the gossip and the bitching in the office and the workplace? The latest news about this affair and that, the latest news on who is in favor and who has fallen out of favor, the devil who is badmouthing about us behind the back ... oh, won't we miss them all?
Let's step out of the world we have immersed ourselves in and become comfortable in. And step into the world of freedom. Let's find the vocation that we enjoy the most. Let's learn the right skills that are needed to survive and thrive in the market. And take the plunge with faith and belief in self. Success and prosperity are waiting to be ours, if only we reach out for them. Let us be brave for a change. Let's reach out! Now!

best salsa musicBig Band Swing and the Lindy Hop
Big Band Swing and the Lindy Hop come up together...
It was around 1927, it was new and it was hot!... It was big band swing and lindy hop, and it was happening in Harlem at the Savoy Ballroom, New York city. It wasnt called the Ballroom just because there were bands there.. no, the Savoy is were the kids went to dance. The Charlston was on the out and the lindy hop was coming in. The dancers took the name from Charles Lindbergh after being the first man to fly a plane across the atlantic ocean from New York to Paris.
Swing dancing, or Lindy Hop as it was being called, grew up with swing music. It had elements from the Charlston as well as the 8-count structure from the European style where partners danced close together. The great thing about the lindy hop is the dancers can break away from the structured 8 count and do improvisational steps which could include big twirls and turns and throwing your partner in the air. This improvising element was obviously a big part of the swing music as well.
I think its interesting how lindy swing dancing evolved alongside the big bands that performed regularly at the Savoy Ballroom which became famous for their >b>battle of the bands and dance competitions. Imagine how much energy those big bands in the late 20s had during one of those battling sessions! They didnt use microphones yet but there were a lot of musicians on that stage to fill the room with sound, a sound that fuelled the lindy hoppers with energy and excitement.As every musician knows, that energy bounces right back from the dance floor to the stage, its totally reciprocal.
One influenced the other
This was the pop music of the day so going to the Savoy wasnt just to go and listen to a band, theyd be there to dance and party. Not only did the music influence the dancers but you can bet the good band arrangers were making sure their music would be knocking out the dancers. Things like instrumental breaks, long ferocious drum solos, horn solos that gave time for the soloist to take it over the top which in turn made for some over the top moves on the dance floor. One affected the other. Big band swing and lindy hop... a perfect match!
Ive had the opportunity to play for many swing dance events and Ive also experienced dance events that used recorded music, its just night and day, two totally different things. Even the difference in energy that a 5 piece band and a 15 piece band can create is huge.
One of the most important bands from the time was the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra. Henderson is credited for establishing the instrumentation and many of the arrangement techniques that lasted throughout the swing era. He also hired some very important musicians, the two most notable were trumpeter Louis Armstrong and tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins.
The other key figure from the Savoy Ballroom was Chick Webb who had the most popular band among the dancers. Webb was a lovable little guy, literally cause he was only about 5 feet tall due to a spinal disorder. He was the first drummer to lead a big band and was considered the best among his contemporaries like Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, and Louie Bellson.
Two notable members of his band were a 17 year old Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Jordan. But it was Chick Webb who really drove the band with his excellent drumming and wild solos which always had the potential to drive the dancers into a frenzy.
This era of music and dance started to fade in the mid 40s as people started to open up to other styles but neither has ever totally disappeared. Today there are people dancing the lindy hop and bands playing swing music all over the world.
Big band swing and lindy hop... 80 years and counting!

Yet, have you ever thought about the 3 qualities that are needed to temper your own potential?
Temper comes from the Latin word temparare that means to regulate. In modern times, the word has come to mean to harden such as in metal.
Herbert Bayard Swope wrote: You never will be the person you can be, if pressure, tension and discipline are taken out of of your life.
These 3 qualities will regulate your potential, will temper your potential and ultimately contribute to your ability to master success or the continued inability to master success.
Pressure is a quality that molds individuals. How you respond to various pressures showcases your potential. Pressure can reveal certain potential strengths that you did not know that you had.
To understand the word tension begins by learning its origin. Tension is also Latin in its origin and comes from the word tendere that means to stretch. How much can you stretch yourself? Tension is the result constantly being stretched.
With the W.A.Y. S.M.A.R.T. or S.M.A.R.T. goal criteria, the R means to construct your goals realistically high so that you have to stretch. When achievement comes easy, we as humans have a tendency to become complacent.
Discipline is another Latin word and comes from two words: dis means apart and capere means hold. Today discipline involves training that develops self control or character in which you hold yourself apart from the rest. Effective leadership or rather self-leadership is really about self-control and character.
When you look at your own personal and professional achievements, if you removed the pressure, the tension and the discipline from your life would you have these successes?
Now take a look at your life from a different lens. What would happen if you applied a little more pressure, tension and discipline to your life? Would you have tapped into more of your potential and realize even a greater ability to master success?

What is music composition mean to you?
There are many people making a living as a music composer by writing music which put a lot of stress on them. Some music composers will keep on finding out what kind of music is popular right now and are trying to get a hook in it.
I found out ways to go as a music composer:
1. Listening to a lot of songs and trying to compose the similar genre music. By listening to songs, reading up and feeling what type of music will be popular in the near future.
2. Be yourself and compose the music you like yourself in and hope that others who listen to it will feel the same too.
I feel satisfied and glad that I am inspired enough to be a music composer and I feel the process of composing music involve me to go as far as I can and allowing me to understand myself better.
Composing music can be a very worthwhile bustle. The level of originality depends on the way in how you compose your music. It helps the brains creative parts and calculating parts to be activated together.
Let me share some tips from my own music composition experience:
1. Get your instrument with you, start to sing or hum without any high expectation in creating something exceptional. Allow yourself to wander away from your brains calculating parts, with the imagination and creativity you will create brilliant music.
2. Limit your creativity by using a chord progression.
3. Record yourself when you are playing around with your instruments and humming. Listen to what you have recorded and make any adjustment. This will help you to make much more brilliant music.
Sometimes you can feel that you are not able to compose music like the other composer. Different composers have his/her own way of composition. So never follow them, be in your own.

This is ultimately the question I am most frequently confronted with - is Tupac dead, or alive? Personally, I believe It all comes down to how you see death, and what YOU believe.
To cut things short, in my honest opinion, I believe Tupac is dead. A lot of people breeze over that though, and thats what the problem is. By saying he is dead, we are suggesting he is no longer alive - he no longer physically exists. But just because he doesnt exist as a physical form, a solid being, doesnt mean hes not here, right? Through Tupacs touching lyrics and music, he reached out to us, and communicated with us. Thats what he was best at. As long as we still listen to his music, his words, he will still touching us and communicating with us. So even after Tupac passed away, his music still remains - his essence still burns in our hearts. Remember, this is just what I believe. Death is a concept, depending on how you interpret it and what you believe, you may think differently. It will be great to hear your thoughts and opinions on this.
So why the Seven Day Theory? One thing Tupac was known for, was his intelligence. No, I dont mean he had outstanding grades at school. A lot of people mis-interpret the word intelligence. Knowledge is what is what one knows. Intelligence is ones ability to know. Tupacs ability to understand was immense. Just by listening to his lyrics, you can tell he was a deep thinker. He was a sensitive young male, who tried so hard to understand why things happened. But unfortunately, when trying to understand death all one is faced with is pain, and anxiety. Tupac wasnt necessarily scared of dying, but of being forgotten.
A lot of people are worried about death, but really I think they are worried about being forgotten. So many memories just erased in an instant. The only possible remedy would be to engrave those memories and stories into his songs, and then create a mystery which baffles the world for years to come. It makes sense doesnt it? Tupac was so intelligent, he would have had the ability to predict this. He would have known by leaving so many clues and hints in his lyrics, and by creating the Seven Day Theory, the world even to this day will be listening to his words in hope.
If this idea was true, it would explain just about everything - apart from the actual shooting itself. Now assuming Tupac died on September 13th 1996, we are left with two possibilities: Tupac was murdered, or he planned his death. Once again, your thoughts are welcome on this. But my personal opinion, is that Tupac planned his death. For someone living in such pain and suffering (according to his lyrics), it wouldnt be hard to give in to death, if it meant he would be perceived as a legend for decades to come. Tupac once said in an interview that he shouldve blown his brains out a long time ago. It is clear that he wasnt afraid to die, and so maybe he was willing to exchange his life for a piece of history.
Remember, this is just what I believe. Everyone has their own thoughts and views regarding Tupacs death. Maybe he is chilling on an island somewhere smoking a blunt. Or perhaps he really was murdered straight.

For those who know the story, there are a few changes made for cinematic presentation, but nothing that alters the story drastically and perhaps the changes did make for smoother viewing. Prince Caspian is definitely holds the audience's attention as it unfolds a slightly predictable, but delightful and exciting fantasy story.
MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS BELOW
The cast of the film was well put together, if for no other reason, the characters whom appeared in the previous film returned in whole and the newer characters were lesser known, but high quality actors and actresses. While the cast was grand and for the most brought the film credibility, it was the special effects and the non-human characters that filled out the tale to make it more enjoyable. Talking animals, dwarves, centaurs, minotaurs, et cetera coloured the screen and passed as completely "human" characters. The battles scenes offered great presentations of height and shape difference between the humans and the Narinians, giving the audience a sense of reality on which to attach their suspension of disbelief.
The Lewis books are subtly Christian in nature, which is to be expected, given Lewis' religious background, but the film, however, takes a rather large wooden mallet and whops you over the head with Christianity. From more blatant dialogue between Aslan and Lucy to suggestions that warriors in the film have become Christian and other sneaky was of throwing religion at the viewer, Adamson's decisions concerning the Christian nature of Narnia is not left to the imagination in the least. Regardless, it does not over power the story to the point of being distracting.
My singular complaint was the music at the end of the film. The entire movie is presented in a serious and consistently themed soundtrack until the last scene where a sappy, poorly executed, horribly out-of-place song appears to make you want to run screaming from the cinema! Being an ethnomusicologist and musician, I thought it was simply my snobbery that harboured those feelings, but alas, without deviation, all of the people with whom I have spoken about the music at the end (many without me mentioning it first) have expressed their severe dislike for the choices made. Too bad. The film carries itself so well until those last few seconds.
Overall, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is a well-done work and stands to draw even more fans to the next film and return to the books on which is was based. An excellent movie-going experience which I highly recommend.

I will say this I'm Hispanic so I did know some Salsa before I purchased this DVD. I wanted to learn some advanced moves and I realized before I purchased this video that prob wasn't for me.

That being said I do believe this will teach ANYBODY to dance. He gives so much detail and repetition there is no way you won't be able to pick it up. I love the hand tricks.

Customer Review: Easy to follow.
The instructions are clear and easy to follow. My husband has absolutely no rythym and he picked up the steps.
Drawing on the insane humor of the much loved "cult" movie "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", Monty Python's Spamalot has been wowing the audience on Broadway since it opened in March 2005. With a story line roughly looking at the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, the spoof musical parodies everything in sight in its quest to bring the audience to their knees in laughter. It pokes fun laughs at the Arthurian legend and quaint old English mannerisms, and satirizes that great institution that we love dearly: the Broadway musical!
Some famous tunes and references to Python offerings from the 1970's make it to the stage including 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life", and nods to "the Lumberjack Song" and "Ministry of Silly Walks" sketch and the "Dead Parrot" sketch. Python fans will love it and will relive some old memories, and new audiences, unfamiliar with Monty Python, will gain a new appreciation of the peculiar British humor espoused by the likes of John Cleese, The Goodies, The Goons and of course, Monty Python.
More parodies in the show include a Lloyd Webber-esque power ballad "The Song Goes Like This" and a "Boy From Oz" style dance number "His Name is Lancelot". Yentl and The Producers get an honorable dig in the song "You Won't Succeed on Broadway".
Monty Python's Spamalot received 14 Tony Award nominations, more than any other show in the 2004-2005 season. It won three awards:
Best Musical
Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical (Sara Ramirez)
Best Direction of a Musical (Mike Nichols) Suitable for all ages, everyone will love this show and see this musical! It has recently finished a successful season in Melbourne, Australia, and the final date is already scheduled in London's West End for early 2009. Whether you are a Monty Python fan and will know all the jokes within this musical, or if you just love a good night of laughs and great music, then this is the show for you! Make sure you get your friends and family together - because you always need someone to rehash a joke with you!
Don't miss your chance to see Spamalot - the award winning and hilarious Broadway show.
