![]() Take a Walk on the Dark Side: Rock and Roll Myths, Legends, and Curses $14.95 I was hoping this would be more about the artists and their lifestyles related to the occult. However it went very deep into explanations of the occult with just enough references to the artists to make the connection. The author is very well educated in the occult. ![]() The Walrus Was Paul: The Great Beatle Death Clues $13.95 What a concept - fool your fans into thinking you're dead. These guys really were the 1960s. What a life. Loved the book - it couldn't have been a more complete chronicle of the biggest rocker hoax. ![]() Gary Patterson Dogs 2010 Magnetic Mount Wall Calendar $9.97 Gary Patterson Dogs Wall Calendar: Enjoy a year of these comical canines by renowned cartoonist Gary Patterson.

The convenient size is ideal for the fridge or office cubicle. ![]() David Moritz Michael: Parthien 6-9 / Pacific Classical Winds $17.99 A "partita" was used in the time of Bach to designate a prelude followed by a series of dance melodies. Confusingly, it was also called a "suite." So when I received the New World Records release of David Moritz Michael's (80538 2), I was not sure what to expect. What I did get was one of the most beautiful CDs in my collection and I want you to know about it. Michael was a Moravian composer (1751-1827) who lived in Bethlehem, Pa. The four pieces in this album are of four or five movements each and scored for different combinations of wind instruments and are more like early symphonies than suites. For example, Parthia 6 is arranged as Andante, Allegro assai, Andante poco adagio, Menuetto, and Rondo allegretto; while 7 is Tempo march, Andante, Menuetto, and Presto; and so on. Each one is bubbly and beautiful and a wonderful introduction to a composer up to now unknown to me. The perfect gift for the collection that seems to have everything! And do not neglect the other New World CDs of Michael's music which contain the other Parthien and some other works by this remarkable composer. |
