MY Grandmother Dr. Patricia Shelton has been in Library Science Her whole Life.. I would HAVE TO Go afTER school to the School where she worked when i had half days and Sit in the Library and Wait for her to Leave. While I stayed WITH her i dEVELOPED AN ADdiction to BOOKS. I would go everyDay just to read. And i fell in Love with this Author…

George Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 – 2 November 1950) was an Irish playwright. Although his first profitable writing was music and literary criticism, in which capacity he wrote many highly articulate pieces of journalism, his main talent was for DRama, and he wrote more than 60 plays. Nearly all his writings deal sternly with prevailing social problems, but have a vein of comedy to make their stark themes more palatable. Shaw examined education, marriage, religion, government, health care and class privilege.

He was most angered by what he perceived as the exploitation of the working class, and most of his writings censure that abuse. An ardent socialist, Shaw wrote many brochures and speeches for the Fabian Society. He became an accomplished orator in the furtherance of its causes, which included gaining equal rights for men and women, alleviating abuses of the working class, rescinding private ownership of productive land, and promoting healthy lifestyles.

SOME OF my FavoRITE nOVELS FROM mR. shAW

hIS pLAYs and Poems are what reallY CAPTURED me though

and oNE OF MY Fav Poems

BROKEN SPIRIT

Only with you by my side,
Can I take all in my stride.
You give me a silent strength,
each pace a gathering length.
I know that I will reach my goal,
for you help me play my role.
Your guidance carries me along,
in my heart a wondering song.
What strange whim sent you my way,
I do not know, I cannot say.
I just thank Heaven that you are here,
Keeping me going with thoughts so clear.
Stay with me to the very end,
For you my broken spirit did mend.

Bernard Shaw

When i STARTED DANCING my MOM SAid i had to learn where my rhythm came from.. i DIDn’t understand what she meant until i took my first african dance claSS. there is a spiritual connection with this art of dance. and the Driving force is the DRUM.

African dance refers mainly to the dANCE of SUB-SAHARAn  africa, and more appropriately African dances because of the many cultural differences in musical and movement styles. These dances must be viewed in close connection with African music, as many African languages have no word to define music.

These dances teach social patterns and values and helps people work, mature, praise or criticize members of the community while celebrating festivals and funerals, competing, reciting history, proverbs and poetry; and to encounter gods

The most widely used musical instrument in Africa is the human voice

Although nomadic groups such as the Maasai do not traditionally use drums; in villages throughout the continent, the sound and the rhythm of the DRUM express the mood of the people. The drum is the sign of life; its beat is the heartbeat of the community. Such is the power of the drum to evoke EmoTION, to touch the souls of those who hear its rhythms. In an African community, coming together in response to the beating of the drum is an opportunity to give one another a sense of belonging and of solidarity. It is a time to connect with each other, to be part of that collective rhythm of the life in which young and old, rich and poor, men and women are all invited to contribute to the society.

What a beauIFUL People.

HERE IS my book of Choice… Im a huge FaN OF Chan Marshall.

ElizABETH gOOODMAN got me hooked with thIS READ …

cHECK it Out

Fans of Chan Marshall’s celebrated indie-rock outfit Cat Power are accustomed to the hide-and-seek routine she deploys in her music, which has always blurred the line between art-star performance and troubled-soul confession. So it seems appropriate that for her thoughtful new Cat Power biography, former Blender editor Elizabeth Goodman lacked the cooperation of Marshall herself, whom Goodman tells us in an introductory note “does not want you to read this book.” You want the hard facts regarding Marshall’s life story? Good luck getting them from the woman who lived them.

Provided that Goodman’s reporting is accurate—and if there’s a central complaint about A Good Woman, it’s the degree to which the author relied upon interviews Marshall granted other writers—you can understand the singer’s reticence. Parental neglect, mental illness, drug and alcohol abuse—all allegedly played parts in Marshall’s complicated journey from deep-South depravation to It-girl glory. Goodman unpacks that rags-to-riches narrative with the skepticism of someone who knows how to avoid the clichés of rock-god biopics, analyzing Marshall’s many contradictions and calling bullshit when she sees it. And though she describes being blocked by Marshall from many of the singer’s friends and acquaintances, Goodman finds plenty of people willing to dish, including the mother of an ex-boyfriend, who says that “it probably would have been better for him had he never met her.”

Like nine out of every ten Cat Power songs, this vaguely passive-aggressive book raises as many questions as it answers. But even bereft of hard facts, Goodman’s appealing fusion of gossip-rag dirt-digging and brainy rock-crit philosophizing often serves as its own reward.—

Clap FOR em
