![]() Max and Ruby: A Very Merry Christmas Collection $26.99 My little gut is a huge fan of Max and Ruby. When he got the movie he was thrilled, he wants to watch it all the time, ![]() My Very First Mother Goose $22.99 Book was received very quickly. My Grandbaby, Alli, had her 1st birthday on the 14th and it was one of her favorite gifts. She already loves books!! I would order form this seller again. Great transaction. ![]() We'll Meet Again: Very Best of Vera Lynn $17.98 This "very best of" Vera Lynn compilation CD has much to offer although as another reviewer, Mr. Harris, notes there are songs that really should have been included instead of a few of the songs we get here. For example, while we get standards like "We'll Meet Again" and "(There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover," "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" and "My Son My Son," Vera's number-one hit from the 1950s, are just not here! On the bright side again, however, Vera's voice is as clear as a bell on this entire album; and you'll enjoy that when you hear these ballads and songs all performed with panache and genuine emotion. These songs showcase Vera's talent very well. The quality of the sound is very good and the artwork is nicely done. "(There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover" starts the album off with a marvelous, ageless song that Vera sings faultlessly. I like that piano arrangement and it all holds its own very well. "Auf Wiederseh'n Sweetheart" is certainly very easy on the ear; and "We'll Meet Again" charms me with its natural beauty. I love it! "As Time Goes By" from the movie "Casablanca" gets the royal treatment from Vera Lynn who delivers this without letting go of a single superfluous note. The lush musical arrangement enhances this ballad even more; and I also really like Vera's rendition of "Dream." "Dream" is one of my favorite numbers on this CD. "Faraway Places" is also quite well done; and Vera does a superb version of "If You Love Me" which I first heard sung in French and English by Edith Piaf. Piaf would have certainly approved of Vera's treatment of this poignant love song! "The Loveliest Night of the Year" is wonderful; I could never tire of listening to Vera Lynn sing this splendid tune! "Wish Me Luck as You Wave Me Goodbye" is another classic that Vera delivers passionately; and there's yet another gem when Vera sings "When I Grow Too Old to Dream." I think you'll like "When I Grow Too Old to Dream" very much. There's a stunning medley of "Somewhere Along The Way;" "Here In My Heart" and "Let The Rest Of The World Go By;" Vera's singing makes these songs sound so new and fresh while the backup singers harmonize to perfection--and beyond! Of course, Vera never really needed backup, but they do sound good. The album ends with two magnificent numbers: "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" and "From the Time You Say Goodbye (The Parting Song)." What a terrific way to end this CD! Vera Lynn will never be forgotten; and I share Mr. Harris' hopes that more of her music will be re-released for us to enjoy over and over again. This album is a must have for Vera Lynn fans even if it isn't truly a "best of" single CD compilation; there's not a single dud in the bunch here. This even makes a fine starter CD for people just discovering the magical artistry of the great Vera Lynn. ![]() We'll Meet Again, The Very Best Of Vera Lynn $9.49 This "very best of" Vera Lynn compilation CD has much to offer although as another reviewer, Mr. Harris, notes there are songs that really should have been included instead of a few of the songs we get here.
