 If No ONe Is Listening - Words and Music
by: Jimi Bertucci. - We had a very strict rule in our house,
be a good listener. The communication airwaves have taken on
a multitude of directions so that we can get the message across.
The days of ho hum, not getting through to people, has become
a Jurassic excuse catering to the lazy, complacent, I don't need
to get hip with the times, gringos. Music has always been a strong
force in pounding a message to even those refusing to hear it.
Billboards are the large, subliminal, postcards that have you
thirsting for one of those bigger than life, erotic, bossomy
blondes with bright white teeth. If no one is listening then
it tells me you are not being verbal enough, metaphorically speaking
of course. Songs have a way of meandering and taking on a life
of their own. The idea can begin with a simple thought and before
you know it the concept reaches new heights. Determination has
to breathe, allowing moments of freedom to pass through the dark
tunnels of obscurity. Recognition of one's self-limitations is
just that. The listening uncovers the doubts that cling to unresolved
matters. Whether you shout or whisper and no one is listening
the echo of your words will linger through time and space and
eventually be heard. (read about bb gabor

 PARIS FRANCE - Salvatore Vincenzo Bertucci was born in Santa Monica,
California. He began collecting shells at the age of two when
he would run on the sandy beaches of Malibu. His love of skate-boarding
and playing the guitar also began at a very young age in Orange
County, where his pop-rocker dad owned an Italian restaurant.
Turi, as he is known to family and friends, resides in San Francisco
and is currently studying International Business at the American
Business School in Paris. For the past few years SVB has been
traveling the world with his companion camera, capturing the
rhythms of the streets. His photography is pure truth, the moments
captured in perfect time, like an unforgettable melody that plays
continuously in your head. Salvatore explores his subject with
more than his eyes. He absorbs the message of his composition,
clearly defining the end results. jimib.com is proud to showcase
the works of Salvatore V. Bertucci. To contact the artist to

 MALIBU CA - Mary Frampton was
born in San Bernardino, California, famous for Route 66. Her
father owned a small newspaper called El Sol and her mother was
an accommplished sculptor. Mary began taking pictures at a very
young age with a Brownie and eventually some of her photos were
being used in the high school weekly paper at San Bernardino
High. She believed, even then, that she would apply her talents
in the changing scene of photo journalism. She would go on to
College and study advertising and journalism. She started her
professional photo career at the San Bernardino Sun, a newspaper
that covered the Inland Empire. She would forward some of her
works to the Los Angeles Times through APWire and the Times would
often publish her photos. After working for a brief period in
the public relations office of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, she
landed a job as a writer and photographer at the Santa Monica
Outlook, a trendy newspaper with opinionated stories. By this
time her work was receiving great recognition by all the major
papers in the Los Angeles area. She decided to approach the Times
with her portfolio and, because they were already using her pictures,
they did not hesitate to hire her as a full time employee. That
was in 1956. During her employment with the Times she photographed
Presidents, rock stars, movie stars and some memorable events
that have become a staples in LA. In 1987 Mary retired from the
Times but she continues to express herself with what she does
best...taking pictures. Mary passed away on Dec 29th 2006. My
friend will be missed. ( click on photographers pic ) n |
 ARIZONA - Music
and photography came together on September 26th 1960 in Ottawa
Canada when 50s international rock and roll star Brenda Lee came
to sing for her fans. John Rowlands, a 13 year old teenager who
lived in a part of Ottawa called 'Manor Park' was a big fan of
the popular recording artist. With an advance on his 10 cents
a week allowance, money made from his 77 drop morning paper route,
and cash made from helping the local milkman he bought a ticket
to the Brenda Lee Show. Sensing that it was a long shot that
she might ever be his girlfriend he took along his father's camera,
a single roll of film and 12 very large flash bulbs. It was likely
the only way he would ever take her home. Brenda's guest appearance
on the Perry Como show a week earlier and the anticipation of
seeing her in person made it easier to force his way through
the packed crowd to the lip of the stage.He was not disappointed
as he watched and listened, loaded the bulbs one at a time and
flashed his way through her show and the only 12-exposure Kodak
127 film he had. In those days the family camera might take a
year to fill a single roll with images but this night was more
than special.When Brenda left the stage and the house lights
rose the crowd headed towards the exits. No security team, no
small police force to speed you towards the door as soon as physically
possible. When the show was over everyone left. Rowlands followed
his peers as they headed through the seating towards the exits
until he saw a sign in a hallway that would change his life.
It read "Brenda Lee and the Casuals" and it was their
dressing room. Without a moments thought he walked down the hall
and knocked on the door not knowing what to expect...(read more)

I do not see life through demonic eyes. I feel we need to recognize
our faults as human beings and accept them if we wish to continue
being able to live. On

"Dhammapada, The Way of Truth" essential wisdom of
the Buddha "The
Wisdom of Insecurity" Alan W. Wattsand " Aesop's Fables"
There is enough
in these books for anyone to live a happy and productive life
without hating, killing, waging war or destroying the planet...(order the book) |
