Music in South Beach...Day 5 of our cruise!

Trying to find a way to fit music in with our Carnival Cruise and I did want to mention the music that we heard everywhere in Miami South Beach. I found it quite annoying as it was a computer-generated disco sound emanating at ear-piercing levels from the majority of stores and restaurants in South Beach. I was amazed that most people seemed to be immune to it but it drove me batty!

Meanwhile, we slowly made our way off the cruise ship on Friday morning, bidding adieu to the warm azure waters of the Bahamas. It was so wonderful to be with my children and their husbands for 5 full days and after saying good-bye to Julie, Allison, Tom and Will, Liz and I stayed on in Miami for another couple of days. We went to see a movie one night and did a lot of walking in the South Beach area. We had some fabulous seafood and desserts and also were just amazed by the Art Deco hotels and restaurants. The coconut palms were everywhere and the atmosphere was totally international. I met three different Italian families that I was able to talk to about my upcoming trip to Italy. Stay tuned!

How do you feel about Doris Day?

This morning on CBS Sunday Morning there was a special feature on Doris Day. It brought back sooooo many memories of going to the movies on Saturday afternoons in the 50's and 60's and watching movies like this and singing these songs in my head for weeks afterwards. Everybody loved Doris Day and I was one of her biggest fans! The show this morning went on to say that Doris had a kind of "lullaby" quality to her voice that gave her such a universal appeal. What do you think??

Music and the Preacher's Daughter

Many of you know that my father was a minister...a Methodist minister. I grew up hearing church music and loving it. Most of my ideas about who God is and who I am and what I'm here to do on this Earth, came from the hymns that we sang and the sermons I heard my father preaching! I have learned so many wonderful things through music that I don't think I could have taken in at such a deep level otherwise.

At bedtime, my father sang songs with my sister and me and we often memorized Psalms and other scrpture. When I saw this video of a little girl reciting the 23rd Psalm, it just reminded me instantly of my childhood and I wasnted to share it with you. Hope you enjoy it!

What Songs Make YOUR Heart go "Thump-Thump?"

I wish I had more pictures from my high school years! I guess I could scan some things from my yearbooks of the two high schools I attended. Those good old black and white pictures live in my memory, but it's hearing those songs that I danced to with my boyfriends that I really enjoy! We started having dances at school and at church in the 7th grade! That seems a little young to me now but at the time I definitely loved it! From that point on, I associated different love songs with different boys and schools and churches and proms!

I would love to put a list together of people's favorite dance songs from the late 50's, 60's and 70's. Please post your list to this blog and then I'll publish the results! Have a great day!

Happy Friday to all my Boomer Readers!

Many of you know that I went to study internet marketing with Tom Antion nearly two years ago. Before that, I went to Cancun to attend NSA's Cancun University because it sounded so awesome and exciting. I've since studied with quite a few internet marketing "gurus" and one thing they have all emphasized is the power of collaboration with other like-minded people and the power of joint ventures. It was as a result of that idea that I started my website called http://www.drcashprefers.com/ which is my place for recommending to you the:

1. music products and vendors that I use and recommend


2. the place where I get most of my books and CD's/DVD's (Amazon)


3. my source for information and inspiration on prosperity-thinking and posperity living!


4. the people and organizations that I get my website, shopping cart, and affiliate marketing techniques from

I'll admit: I do pretty well on the internet now! I sell my own CD's, downloads, and books daily and earn hundreds of dollars (soon to be thousands!) by just putting certain codes on my sites.

People are beginning to ask me to teach them to do it and I'm thinking about it! But for now, I'd just invite you to check out http://www.drcashprefers.com/ and see what I'm talking about! Especially if you are a musician or music-lover who wants to be earning money online, even without a website, check out the folks that I use! Best of luck and email me if you need help!!

Don't We Love the Oscars??!!

Tonight, I'm watching the Oscars and wondering if my favorite movies will win. Although I don't enjoy watching violent, bloody scenes, one of the movies nominated is one I hope will win. It's called "No Country for Old Men" and the reason I want it to win is that my own daughter, Elizabeth Cash, worked on it!! She's go to be really excited too!!
According to www.mfiles.co.uk, the Academy Awards idea originated in 1927-28 as a method for the film industry to recognise individual achievements within its ranks and at the same time do some self-promotion, the "Academy" being the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences or AMPAS which originated the idea. The idea has progressed over the years, with different rules and methods developing over time but the basic premise is the same. There are a number of Awards for "Best Picture", "Best Director", etc. and films and the people involved go through a process of nomination. These days there are generally five official nominees for each Award, and the members of the Academy then vote to select a winner who receives a statuette known as an "Oscar" though the origin of the nickname is now uncertain. It was 1934 before film music was recognised with its own awards, and in the earlier years the winners in the music and other technical categories received a Plaque rather than the famous Statuette. But since 1946 there have been two or three statuettes awarded for music categories. Usually these are for "Original Score" or "Dramatic Score" and "Original Song" but often including a third award whose name has tended to change over the years for "Musical Score", "Music Adaptation", "Comedy Score" or similar.
Hope you're watching too!

Have you been to a Pow-wow?

One of the things that babyboomers have tried to do is go back into music history and revive some of the most meaningful types of music to humans. For a long time, the history of music was thought to be continually evolving so something that was more than 300-400 hundred years old was thought to be "interesting" but not particularly relevant. Things are different now and musicologists are going back and reviving, researching and performing music that is ancient. Enjoy this article about the "Indian Pow-wow."

American Indians have held ceremonial gatherings since ancient times, but intertribal powwows—in which members of several tribes convene to socialize and exchange cultural traditions—are a more recent practice.
“Everyone claims that their powwow was the first,” says Tara Browner, 43, associate professor of ethnomusicology and American Indian Studies at the University of California in Los Angeles and author of Heartbeat of the People: Music and Dance of the Northern Pow-wow.
Contemporary intertribal powwows began in the 1880s with the establishment of Indian reservations, but whether it was the Poncas in Oklahoma or the Winnebagos in Nebraska who first welcomed all tribes is debatable.
“The concept of powwows goes back before European contact, but they were strictly clannish,” Browner says. The word “powwow” is derived from the Algonquian word “pau wau,” meaning “he dreams” and is associated with medicine men and healing.
[…]”What’s important about powwows is the sense of community,” says Browner, who is Choctaw and a dancer. “You feel strong and proud of who you are, and there’s a comfort level there for just a weekend. All families have stories of sadness and displacement, and you’re with people who understand your background and how it shaped who you are.”
Finding a powwow isn’t a problem, Browner says.
“I tell my students that there’s a powwow within three hours’ driving distance of anyone in the United States.”
This year’s Gathering of Nations Powwow is scheduled April 28-30. For more information, log on to www.gatheringofnations.com, or to find a powwow near you, visit www.powwow-power.com.

Quieting the Mind of Babyboomers

I don't know about you, but I have trouble quieting my mind. I have what some people call a "monkey mind" and it just scrambles all over the place! There are times when I choose to have no music. Today a read a health tip that said:

To reduce stress have period of silence during the day. "Silence will slow down your organs, calm your brain and increase your awareness." Today I will choose silence!
