Help A Great Cause ~ McGill Dances For Cancer Research


~ McGill Dances For Cancer Research ~
~ Every Hit Counts ~

This Dance Video was made at McGill University, Montreal, by a group of Doctors and Researchers at the Goodman Cancer Research Centre, who turned on the music and danced. For every hit they get, they will receive more funding. At one point you will see 3 "old guys" swinging their hips to the song Dynamite. These 3 men are three of the top cancer researchers in the world. Let's help them get the funding they need to help find a cure to this awful disease. PLEASE HELP!!!

"To highlight some of the critical work being done at the Goodman Cancer Research Centre, we gathered some of our top scientists, students, lab techs and dedicated volunteers, who turned on the music - and danced!"

"Thanks to our proud sponsor, Medicom, a donation will be made for each hit to support advances in cancer research at the Goodman Cancer Research Centre."

Thanks Billy Joel... This Is What Real Music Is All About...


This song, and its' title, was an answer to a Final Jeopardy question -- only one person got it right.

Question:  "What 1980s song do history teachers praise for its educational value?"

If you couldn't understand all the references in Billy Joel's song, fortunately, with this video, given the pictures, we can now "see" what our "ears" couldn't hear.

Apparently, the purpose behind this song was Joels' homage to the 40-years of historical headlines since his birth (1949).  It's unfortunate that we didn't appreciate the depths of this song when it was realased.  Twenty years later, it's amazing what Joel was able to put into music and lyrics lasting only a few minutes.

Whether you are a Billy Joel fan or not, you probably remember his great song, 'We Didn't Start the Fire'.  Here it is, set to pictures.  It's a neat flashback through the past half century.  I never did know all the words.
Turn up volume, sit back and enjoy a review of 50 years of history in  less than 3 minutes!  Thanks to Billy Joel, and some guy from the University of  Chicago with a lot of spare time, and Google.  Top left gives you full screen.  Top right lets you pause.  Bottom left shows the year.

The  older you are, the more pictures you will recognize.  Anyone over age 65 should remember over 90% of what they see.  But it's great at any age ~ ENJOY and APPRECIATE.

What Are You Feeding Your "CREATIVE" Side?

This is so true, made me think, and is so very applicable to feeding your "CREATIVE" side…

so I'd like to share this "Simple Truth"...

Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?

by Matt on January 19, 2011

Here’s a short story about how your choices determine who you are:


~  The two wolves  ~

A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said, “I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one.” The grandson asked him, “Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?” The grandfather answered: “The one I feed.”

Earl Nightingale summarized it best when he said, “We are what we think about.” Make a decision today to feed the right wolf.




Allow Me The Honor Of Helping You Feed Your "Creative" Side

You can feed your "creative side", enjoy the benefits of "music therapy", and feed the right wolf through private music instruction.  You can do this at any age, any stage, any self-perceived level of ability.  Everyone can enjoy the benefits of music.  Please join me for a FREE half hour private registration consultation.

Music Vocation For Life

"A career in music is something all music lovers desire. In order to be able to pursue this however, a lot of hard work and practice is required. This is why, music education is considered crucial for all such students. It should be started at an early age, so that the students will be able to grasp the basics sooner, and have more time to understand and practice music."
