 I think it's another version of Cinderella's Waltz, but with Eugene Doga's Waltz of Love music instead. I like the energy of this version. Notice how her gown and his collar change color. (Enlarge the video for best view.) Cinderella's Waltz for symphony orchestra

I dabble in my ancestry from time to time. Some of the photographs in my collection are a mystery. My parents passed away some time ago so I have no one to ask.. Now I have to do detective work to figure out what was going on and identify some of the people. It can be enjoyable but also frustrating.  My mother is the 4th woman from the left. She's the pretty one with a smile, white shoes and socks.  I have no idea who the other women are. The Saturnia had a twin sister ship called the Vulcania. The life preserver indicates the ship they were on. They were Italian built luxury liners. I don't know how my mother could afford it. I'm not sure if the ship was coming to America or returning to Italy. She came each way. Here are some videos I found on the web: Luxury Interior The Engine compartment Here are some luxurious rooms: Dining Dining Ballroom  Interesting, isn't it?

 Bhangra today Bhangra connects to a much deeper set of masculine values. Most of these values are set through labor, industry and self-sufficiency in agriculture, loyalty, independence and bravery in personal, political and military endeavors; and the development and expression of virility, vigor, and honor are common themes. Bhangra referred both to formal male performances and to communal dancing among men and women. In the past 30 years, bhangra has been established all over the world. It has become integrated into popular Asian culture after being mixed with hip hop, house and reggae styles of music. Certain bhangra moves have been adapted and changed over time but at its core remains a sense of cultural identity and tradition. We see bhangra take place mainly in the Punjabi culture. Many people tend to showcase bhangra as a source of joy and entertainment at weddings, parties, and all sorts of celebrations. Many people also do bhangra as a source of exercise, it is an ex...

I want to share the medical videos of Dr. Chubbyemu. He shows unusual medical conditions mostly caused accidentally. Here are two of those videos. They are around 15 minuets long but very entertaining. Dr. Chubbyemu. A Mom Drank 3 Gallons Water In 2 Hours. This is What Happened to Her Brain. A Grandma Ate 1 Pound Chocolate In 6 Hours. This Is What Happened To Her Brain. Take care,     John

I set up this photo from a miniature mask and the reflection of another mask in a mirrored ornament. I used red plastic to get the red eyes. You have to click on some pop down links to get to the final location. I don't know why, something new. Some links are intense! Full screen & sound are often better.

  I'm still trying to install the hand controls on my car. When I get down low I get woozy and fall over sometimes before I can work on the pedals. Also I have to get the strength to hand tighten the attachments to the pedals. I ran out of energy. I'll try again in a few days. Here is a dog who loves the opera. I found this on the web. I was not able to copy it on to this post but here's the link. Enlarge the image to better see the dog's expressions. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dog+sings+along+with+pavarotti

The Willow Maid   Slept all day, very tired and weak. But I was able to find this cartoon several days ago.

I'm in love with this machine! Here is a very short video. (Full screen is best) This time showing some of the   mechanism . (Full screen is best)

    I really don't know much about playing music. I can't read the notes and I'm not sure if  my hands are agile enough. But when I came across the lap harp while I was looking through Amazon, it seemed easy enough to try. You don't have to know how to read the music sheets and anyone can play it right away. It's sometimes advertised for use by children but I found some videos on Youtube where it was played very well by adults. Anyway, it might encourage me to move on to other easy instruments. Above are photos of my lap harp. As you can see I only have to pick at the notes on the inserted music sheet, easy enough for kids. It's not me playing but here's my skill level: Expert musicians seem to be playing without sheet music: Lamento Di Tristano - 14th century Italian Renaissance tune The man in this video must love the instrument: Right now I'm trying to get my harp in tune. There's a free tuner for the iphone called "Plusadd lite" I had t...

  (Need to enlarge for better view) Can they do technotronics? I like the original better. This is from a David Bowie song. Another good one.

 I've been so tired the last two weeks. My autoimmune disease CIDP is acting up again. My Physical Therapist told me he's never seen me so tired and to speak with my doctor. I left a message at his office. Maybe the problem will heal itself. I'll keep up with exercise and my blog. Sorry I skipped posting or reading your blogs last week. The CIDP that's coming after me:

The other day while browsing through the web, surfing for an interesting item, I came across this image of a beautiful woman. It's a French ad for cosmetics.   I knew about how the radioactive element Radon was thought to be healthy at one time. But these images brought this misconception to life for me. The sad thing is how lighthearted some of these videos seem to take such a painful way to die.

  Cornu de Pompei Not very good singers but they get the point across. Are we any more civilized today?

Does this song mean that when she gets "low" (sad, depressed), she gets the strength to pull herself up and get "high". Or, does it mean she feels better by taking alcohol and drugs?  Newer video:  Try full screen. "Original" version:  Chick Webb & his Orchestra Ella Fitzgerald - When I Get Low I Get High 1936
