Bright Moments

hey, i didn't post this: oops

sorry b-3er, couldn't resist!

great thread! the thing about a murray cd is it is either hit or miss! now "real deal" is a hit! B-)

the fact that UA has a reputation for being slow to deliver is no excuse! if i paid on 9/1 and stilldid not receive my cds i would be royally pissed!!! btw i ordered a cd from canada (not from UA) on 9/20 and received it on 9/25!

yes jim since we can't have a "babe" thread. i thought why not a "bey" thread.

couw, you always find such GREAT stuff! thanks!!! B-)

i've been stumbling upon a bevy of beys lately. Andy Bey- singer, Skip Bey - bass and Chief Bey - hand drums. are they related? with the "Bey sisters" this sounds like one huge musical family! B-)

picked up american songs in the used bin at specs. love it!

miami checking in. all ok here! B-)

Jazz legend Dolly Rathebe dies Johannesburg, South Africa 16 September 2004 18:22 Jazz legend Dolly Rathebe (74) died at the Ga-Rankuwa hospital outside Pretoria on Thursday. Rathebe was admitted to hospital on Sunday after suffering a mild stroke and is survived by two daughters and a son. Rathebe's daughter Zola said she was not expecting such pain. "The family is saddened and has lost a lot. We have not decided when mum will be buried," her daughter said. Former president Nelson Mandela paid tribute to Rathebe. Mandela said he was sorry he could not visit the star before she died. "I hope South Africans will continue where Dolly left off," Mandela said. Rathebe rose to stardom through a role in a film called Jim Comes to Jo'burg in the late 1940s. Khubeka also featured in Hijack, a film broadcast last year, and in an international film called The Line. Abigail Khubeka, a prominent jazz singer, said she spoke to Rathebe on Saturday when they were supposed to hand over awards at Leeuwkop Prison. "I waited at the prison. And when I phoned to find out why she was not showing up I heard she was sick. "Her words did not make any sense when I spoke to her," Khubeka said. She said the international and local music market has lost "one of Africa's first beauty queens". Performing in the same genre of music, Thandi Klaasen said when she visited Rathebe in hospital she warned her "not to leave". "I told her she must never go. But she did and I will never believe it was her time because she had so much to live for." Internationally acclaimed artist Sibongile Khumalo said she remembered Rathebe as a woman full of life. "She was larger than life." -- Sapa

now enjoying the 2nd disc! thanks tom!! B-)

rainy, this thread was not about my avatar, but a kicking lady (which you can see on my profile page should you choose to) which i had appended to my signature. as a result she was on the bottom of each of my posts. some people were offended. i ran this poll, and then in consideration of the sensitivities of those who objected, i removed her. i am offended by your comments but i defend your right to make them! as for my avatar (created by the great AB) stick it in your ear and get a sense of humor! glad i got that off my chest. group hug?

so while we are waiting for the hurricane to arrive (and to distract me from my grief over the demise of a particular thread ) i thought that it would be a good time to start working on my bft (#41). here's my problem. when i rip a cut from the cd to my computer, all the information about the song is there. when i burn the cut to the cd, the song's information is still there! how do i get rid of the information so that my cuts are anonymous when someone sticks the disc in the computer? i am using windows media player #10. as always, thanks to all who can help. B-)

!!!

how about charles earland - whip appeal! B-) btw - great list!

Thanks Tom for an enjoyable disc! i really liked "can't buy me love". B-) now off to disc 2!

i snagged this puppy in bmg's $4.99 sale and i'm loving it! B-)
