Tribute To Billie Holiday, A - Doc Cheatham

IT'S RUMOURED TO BE A TRIBUTE

Advantages: Recognisable tunes
Disadvantages: Neither fish nor foul. Best stick to the original

I was prompted to shake the dust off a neglected corner of my record collection by a review posted by Nar recently. "The True Legacy of a Legendary Musical Divorce?" is about the Album "Legacy, a Tribute to Fleetwood Mac's Rumours" - a CD of cover versions of the songs from the classic Mac album 'Rumours' released in 1977. Nar also said that he was '?forever on the look out for new versions and covers of songs by leading artists known and unknown.'. For completeness then, here is one for his collection and maybe one which may have escaped your attention the first time around. The String Quartet Tribute's declared aim is to concentrate on one well known performer or group at a time and produce classical (instrumental) versions of the songs 'note for note'. Some albums are compendiums of the original's more well known titles; others, as ...

Handy things to have on Holiday!

Advantages: They help you when you are away
Disadvantages: You have to carry them

10 Indispensable Things With You On Holiday When going on holidays I always plan everything and then end up forgetting something useful by the time I head away. Here is my list of things to take with you on holiday: 1. First Aid Kit - you never know what's going to happen to you when you are away, so it's best to be prepared.

Sunscreen - even if you are going to somewhere that is not very sunny you can never be too sure what the weather will be like. If you are going to be on a beach holiday or somewhere with strong sun you are advised to buy a high factor of sunscreen to stop yourself from burning. Even if you are on the ski slopes you have to ...

Review of Member Advice on What to take on Holiday

A fitting tribute to a great singer

Advantages: A great tribute. Stellar line-up. Benefits a worthy cause.
Disadvantages: Some of the fashons are now very dated!

These two DVDs comprise a tribute to Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991 after succumbing to AIDS. All the artists involved gave their time for free - and those included reads like a Who's Who of British rock music, in addition to artists from overseas such as Metallica and Liza Minelli. There is an array of "extras" on the 2 DVDs, including rehearsal footage for each act (press enter when you see the "i" box at the corner of your screen), a documentary on the great Freddie Mercury and press photos from the event itself. ---Why should I bother listening to something that is over 10 years old?---- Because Queen were a seminal rock group; because buying the video will help AIDS charities fight the disease; because it is a moving and uplifting event; because the atmosphere is captured brilliantly in the film; because it contains ...
