I think this is something you might enjoy. It’s called A Ca Pella. It’s a video of eight men and women who are singing without any accompaniment at all. Some quite unique sounds they’ve come up with here.
Enjoy!

I happened across this picture of a cat driving a car and it reminded me of Toonces. Remember him? He was the cat on Saturday Night Live that drove a car and always wound up going off a cliff.
The first Toonces skit was aired on May 20th, 1989, and featured Steve Martin as Toonces’ owner. [...]

Farrah Fawcett, 62, and Michael Jackson, 50, both died today although under very dissimilar circumstancs. Farrah succumbed to cancer after a 3-year battle during which she became almost a hero. They don’t seem sure what caused Jackson’s demise; it is under investigation.

Susan Boyle has done it again. She does another incredible job singing in the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent. See it for yourself on YouTube. I don’t know how much longer this show goes on, but I think Susan Boyle certainly has the talent to win. Even if she doesn’t win, she should be able [...]

I just skipped over to the Content Quake Survivor site to see if there was anything new there. Perhaps something exciting about Survivor that I had missed. But actually there hasn’t been a new post in awhile.
Having watched all the Survivors since the first one, although I had to watch parts of that first one [...]

If you haven’t yet seen this video, believe me, you’ll want to. I won’t ruin the surprise, just please watch it and see what you think. The performer’s name is Susan Boyle and I doubt that you’ve ever heard of her unless you live in the village where she comes from.

Hey, Empty Nesters, if you want something different to do and haven’t tried Mahjong, you might want to click on this free version from AARP. See if you like the game before you go out and buy yourself a Mahjong game of your own.
The rules are pretty much the same in a boughten game [...]

As most of you may remember, we empty nesters live in a retirement community in central Florida. During the winter, at least once a month, we have an entertainer at our clubhouse. Tonight we had an ENTERTAINER! We had Charo and she was fabulous. I’m not usually so gaga over the entertainment we have here [...]
