MUSIC
“When I listen to that one tone, I can feel my lungs breathing deeper, and my heart relaxing. A rush of well being!”
7 Amazing New "Musical Tones" Found To Relieve Stress... Promote Healing... Break Negative Cycles... and Restore Sound Sleep... in Minutes.
In fact, throughout our entire history, music has had the power to transform us spiritually and physically.
Because as Longfellow pointed out... "Music is the universal language of mankind."
Now we're discovering what the ancients have known for millennia – music also has the power to heal.
Native Americans have used music and chanting as way to treat and protect against disease.
In an article published by The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in 2009, Dr. Assad Meymandi writes:
Aristotle knew the power of music could heal the sick: "Since ancient times, music has been recognized for its therapeutic value. Greek physicians used flutes, lyres, and zithers to heal their patients. They used vibration to aid in digestion, treat mental disturbance, and induce sleep. Aristotle (373–323 BCE), in his famous book De Anima, wrote that flute music could arouse strong emotions and purify the soul. Ancient Egyptians describe musical incantations for healing the sick."
And so it goes in Biblical times with Zephaniah 3:17 – "He will rejoice over you with joyful songs!"
Today we're discovering how we too can use music to heal, repair, and protect against disease.
In fact, a recent study by the UK-based Journal of Advanced Nursing has revealed some impressive findings...
They saw... Chronic pain and other painful conditions reduced by up to 21% ... depression by 25%
And more and more, music is being used in hospitals to soothe postoperative pain, lower blood pressure, and boost immunity.

The Future of Retirement Is MargaritavilleAs boomers reimagine how we grow old, Jimmy Buffett is betting on them to buy his branded homes.By Patrick Clark September 29, 2017 Illustration: Paul Paetzel/Bloomberg Joe Lombardi strolled through the packed Field 5 parking lot outside the Jones Beach amphitheater on Long Island—past the men dressed as pirates, the boat parked atop a party bus, the cornhole players and the silver-haired tailgaters pedaling tandem bikes. The diehards had arrived at dawn, and by midafternoon, some had crashed out in the shade of inflatable palm trees, napping away the hours before Jimmy Buffett would take the stage. “A certain segment of his fans would like to live in Margaritaville,” said Lombardi, who serves as president the local chapter of the Parrot Heads in Paradise, a Buffett fan club with 25,000 members around the world. It wasn’t an idle observation. Over the past two decades, Buffett has built a licensing and hospitality empire on the back of his most ubiquitous hit, selling everything from hotel rooms to deck chairs and frozen shrimp through his company, Margaritaville Holdings. Now he’s slapping his brand on 55-and-older communities in a novel bid to sell homes to boomers who are ready to kick back—just not in the same way their parents did. In February, the company said it was partnering with a Canadian homebuilder called Minto Communites to build 7,000 homes in Daytona Beach, Fla., in an age-restricted development called Latitude Margaritaville. Buffett has a loyal fan and consumer base, but aging homebuyers may prove to be a tricky market. Boomers are working longer and moving less often than their parents, preferring to renovate their homes so they can age in place. For some, the snowbird lifestyle their parents’ generation invented might look like one last tradition against which to rebel. Others might just not want to admit they’re getting old. “We have people who are really into the lifestyle. They can’t wait,” said Lombardi. Other fans worry the communities could resemble theme parks, or worse: “The last thing anyone wants is to go someplace where people are living out their last years.” Forty years ago, long before it became a microwave dinner or real-estate development, Margaritaville was a 1977 hit that saw Buffett playing his trademark role of everyman in paradise, bemused at his circumstances but determined to live in the present, cocktail in hand, not dwell on the half-remembered past. Buffett turned Margaritaville into an actual place with the opening of his first restaurant in Key West in 1987, but it wasn’t until the late-’90s that he kicked his branding operation into gear. Today, the singer’s website offers an astounding array of branded consumer goods, including LandShark Lager, rum and tequila, chips and salsa, pool floats, beachwear, and a selection of souped-up blenders sold under the heading of party machines. Margaritaville’s hospitality business has become an even bigger draw, with 70 restaurants and a string of hotels in resort towns dotting the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. In all, its revenue topped $1.5 billion in 2015, and more than 20 million guests walked into a Margaritaville establishment last year, according to John Cohlan, the company’s chief executive officer. Even so, the brand’s expansion into real estate shouldn’t have been a surprise. “Twenty years ago, if you had asked me what’s the logical, highest, and best use of the IP, I wouldn’t have said restaurants,” said Cohlan. “I would have said a place to live.” For Cohlan, that can mean a hotel room to stay in a few nights or a cottage to visit a few times a year. Yet Latitude Margaritaville may be the brand’s true apotheosis. CONTINUE READING: www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-09-29/the-future-of-retirement-is-margaritaville

"At the time I just pictured some lady yelling out of a house, 'Anthony! Anthony!'" Joel said. "I was thinking about a kid who's been living at home and getting a lot of pressure from his family to go his own way. He isn't buying into the whole upward mobility thing." That sort of resistance to societal pressures was a theme that Joel would hit again and again. The single reached Number 17 on the Hot 100 and has remained a key part of his live show for the past four decades. Its fame only grew when it became the title of his 2002 Broadway show. **************************************** THE STRANGERThe title song to The Stranger didn't have an intro when Billy Joel began tracking it. He wanted to create an evocative mood, sort of like what Orson Welles did in The Third Man, but he couldn't quite come up with anything. He whistled an idea merely as an example of something that could be emulated on an instrument. "I look at [Phil Ramone] and I said, 'So what instrument should that be?'" Joel recalled. "And he looks at me and he goes, 'You just did it.' I hadn't even considered that. I'm not the greatest whistler in the world, but he said that's what should be on the recording. And I listened back and I went, 'Holy *bleep*, he's right.'" *************************************** "Just the Way You Are"Billy Joel originally didn't want "Just the Way You Are" on The Stranger. He felt it was a "gloppy ballad" destined to be played at weddings. It didn't sound like the rest of the album and he thought it would bring it to a crashing halt. Phil Ramone, however, thought it was essential. To convince Joel that he was right, he brought Linda Ronstadt and Phoebe Snow into the studio. "They heard the song, and Linda Ronstadt goes, 'Are you crazy? That's a great song!'" Joel said. "And Phoebe says, 'You gotta put that on the album!' I was like, 'Really?' I hadn't really had a woman's input. And Linda Ronstadt was pretty cute. I said, 'Oh, Linda Ronstadt likes it? OK!'"

"Love Walks In by Van Halen Songfacts Songfacts › detail This song deals with extra-terrestrials, which can interpreted as a metaphor for new love, or as Van Halen reaching out to new fans. 5150 was the first album Van Halen released with new lead singer Sammy Hagar, and Hagar drew the lyrics from some out-of-body experiences......"

www.rollingstone.com/country/news/see-glen-campbell-david-cassidy-everly-brothers-tribute-w514496 Flashback: See Glen Campbell, David Cassidy's Everly Brothers Tribute 'Partridge Family' star's exuberant 1971 duet with Campbell was Cassidy's second 'Goodtime Hour' appearance in a month by Stephen Betts / www.rollingstone.com/contributor/stephen-betts12-20-2017 By early 1969, singer-guitarist Glen Campbell had conquered the worlds of both country and pop music, topping the album charts with his Wichita Lineman LP. He would also soon make his big-screen acting debut alongside film legend John Wayne in True Grit. But throughout the year, Campbell's greatest visibility was via his weekly CBS television series The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, which showcased not only his warm, folksy manner and numerous hit songs, but also his considerable guitar-playing skills. Campbell's guests on the series, which climbed into the Top 20 in the Nielsen ratings, naturally included such country stars as Merle Haggard, Roger Miller, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash (soon to get his own show on rival network ABC), as well as other fellow musicians, comedians and TV stars. Running a total of four seasons, with writers that included Rob Reiner and Steve Martin, the Goodtime Hour began to slip in the ratings in its last two years on the air, but Campbell himself remained popular and the show continued to draw major celebrities. In October 1971, one of the biggest stars on television was 20-year-old David Cassidy, whose role as Keith Partridge on ABC's The Partridge Family had turned him into a teen idol practically overnight a year earlier. Cassidy and his co-stars, especially Partridge matriarch Shirley, played by Cassidy's real-life stepmother Shirley Jones, made the rounds on other talk and variety series as their show vaulted into the Top 20 and their records, especially the chart-topping "I Think I Love You," dominated the airwaves for the next two years. On October 5th, Campbell's show welcomed Cassidy and his onscreen sister Susan Dey for an episode that paid tribute to the movies. Jones, an Academy Award-winning actress, was also featured. Three weeks later, Cassidy was back as musical guest, performing several Partridge Family tunes. Cassidy, who died November 21st, just three months after Campbell's passing in early August, often acknowledged the complicated relationship he had with those hit songs, which were considered the height of bubblegum pop at the time. His own musical tastes were far more eclectic and rock-oriented, but in the above clip, a highlight from his second Goodtime Hour appearance, Cassidy joins the host for a harmony-rich medley of the Everly Brothers favorites "All I Have to Do Is Dream," "Bird Dog," Wake Up Little Susie" and "Bye Bye Love." Although Campbell does the heavy lifting on guitar and lead vocals, Cassidy branches out from his Partridge role with great relish, even giving the classic tunes just the right amount of country twang. That's about as close as any of the Partridge clan got to country cred, other than the very first episode of The Partridge Family in September 1970, when the fictional group was introduced on a Las Vegas stage by the very real Johnny Cash. The Goodtime Hour would last just five more months, wrapping in March 1972, with several episodes available from Shout Factory TV. The Partridge Family would take their last bus ride in the spring of 1974, although the show continues to air daily on Antenna TV. Campbell and Cassidy both continued to record and perform for the next several decades. While 2017 has sadly taken them both, the good times captured in early clips such as this are certainly worth remembering. www.rollingstone.com/country/news/see-glen-campbell-david-cassidy-everly-brothers-tribute-w514496

www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/flashback-phil-collins-plays-in-the-air-tonight-with-eric-clapton-20160420 Flashback: Phil Collins Plays 'In the Air Tonight' With Eric Clapton Birmingham concert was filmed in 1986 right after Collins produced Clapton's 'August' LP By Andy Greene / www.rollingstone.com/contributor/andy-greeneApril 20, 2016 Phil Collins was at the peak of his commercial powers in the summer of 1986. Genesis had just released Invisible Touch and were gearing up for a enormous stadium tour to support the LP, while songs like "Take Me Home" and "Don't Lose My Number" from his recent solo disc, No Jacket Required, were still all over radio and MTV. He was recording and touring at an insane pace, but he still managed to find time to produce tracks for everyone from Eric Clapton and Robert Plant to Howard Jones, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Adam Ant. One of the most successful records he produced in this era was Eric Clapton's August, featuring the hits "It's in the Way That You Use It," "Tearing Us Apart," "Miss You" and "Run." On July 15th, 1986, shortly after the sessions wrapped, Clapton booked a special gig at the Birmingham NEC, featuring the entire August band, that he filmed for professional release. The show centered around hits from his long career such as "Layla," "White Room" and "Sunshine of Your Love," but near the end, he brought out Phil Collins to play "In the Air Tonight." You can see video of the performance above. The song launched Collins' solo career five years earlier, and it also launched more urban legends than just about any other song in music history. The stories vary, but most center around Collins supposedly witnessing a man refuse to save another man from drowning. Collins then gives the guy a front row ticket to his concert and sings it right to his face, letting him know he saw everything. The story is so widespread that Eminem even repeats it in the lyrics to "Stan." The tale, of course, is wildly untrue. The lyrics were really just a stream-of-conscious rant that poured out of Collins as he was dealing with an extremely painful divorce. "I'm not quite sure what the song is about, but there's a lot of anger, a lot of despair and a lot of frustration," he told Rolling Stone last year. "Nobody knows what the song is about, and I kind of like the mystery. And now NFL players use it to work out. I saw a video recently of Steph Curry singing it in his car, and it was just in an ad for milk chocolate. Where will it end? But I'm not complaining. It paid for this house we're in right now!" www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/flashback-phil-collins-plays-in-the-air-tonight-with-eric-clapton-20160420
