Going Frank’s Way: The Sound of Bobby Caldwell
“It was never my intention to be a Sinatra impersonator. It was all about the songs.” – Bobby Caldwell, 2014
During a recent discussion of Sinatra music, reference was made to a photograph from the 1994 Grammy Awards featuring Sinatra posing with singer Bob Dylan. This, of course, led to mention of Bob Dylan’s newest album “Shadows in The Night,” which, in celebration of the recent centennial, features Dylan covering a number of standards in his style in celebration of Sinatra.
Like any released work by an artist, there were a number of both boosters and detractors that came out of the woodwork, either recommending or criticizing the album. Admittedly, this author is not a fan of Bob Dylan, nor have I listened to the album yet, but in said conversation, I could only offer a singular opinion.
Hori Real Arcade Pro V First Impressions
I have just recently got back into fighting games from a long hiatus due to my friends not being a fan of them or not willing to put in the time to get better. When I first started to getting into this genre of games I had a friend let me use his arcade stick and wow was it a nostalgic experience. It’s just like being at the arcade but now you don’t have to spend a quarter every time you want to play. So naturally I wanted one for myself. My experience with arcade sticks isn’t huge but I’ve owned a 6 button Hori VX and a Madcatz sf4. With the introduction of street fight 5 and killer instinct I wanted an upgrade that would work with the Xbox one and PC. The Hori RAP V was the answer.

Fur Babies Corner: Pregnancy in Dogs
It is possible for a female dog to come into heat twice a year? On the rare occasion a female may come into heat 3 times a year and the female is in heat for 21 days with one week on – one week off and back in heat the third week so in 21 days it is possible for her to become impregnated by multiple sires. Male dogs will come from far and near if they know there is a female in heat. In fact, they will know possibly before the dogs owners know.

This article is to inform our readers that the Pitbull is an extremely sweet breed. When David and I attended our very first adoption event with Fur Babies; there was a little female Pitbull in a kennel who looked so sad, David got a leash took her to the chair near him and we started talking to her and petting her. We did this all that day. She was so attached to David at this point it made us sad to let her go back to boarding. All the way home we talked about her and decided to adopt her, we came back and got her the same day. Long story short Lola (the pit bull) got along with all my tiny Yorkies.

Truth Or Legend? Mysterious Booms Plague South Carolina
I can definitely say the booms are truth, maybe a legendary truth, but truth nonetheless. The mysterious booms in South Carolina have many names, such as Skyquakes, Mistpouffers, and Seneca Guns but no one knows what causes them. And today the mystery is back in the spotlight after an unexplained boom rattled the Charleston area in early March.
“My whole house just shook…. anyone else? Weird and heard loud boom on Folly Beach,” wrote one witness on Facebook.
Anne Jackson Respected Actress & Widow of Acting Legend Eli Wallach DEAD at 90
Anne Jackson, a Tony Award-nominated theater actress who often appeared onstage with her husband, the legendary late Eli Wallach, in comedies and classics, died early Tuesday of natural causes at her home in Manhattan. She was 90. Her death was confirmed by her son, Peter Wallach. Over the years, I corresponded with Eli who when my Dad died, sent me a wonderful personal note.

Sinatra’s ‘Trilogy’: An Appreciation
The year was 1979. With the exception of a handful of single recordings (as well as an aborted attempt with Nelson Riddle in 1977 to record an album based around ladies’ names), Frank Sinatra had not recorded a new full-length album in more than five years. Having made his comeback in 1973 with the album Ol’ Blue Eyes Is Back, followed a year later with Some Nice Things I’ve Missed, Sinatra often claimed in the ensuing years that he hadn’t found enough good material in order to warrant the recording of a new album. Despite this, one of the most asked questions amongst all of the countless amounts of fan mail he received was as to when he would be releasing a new record.
That spring, Sinatra was prepared to give his fan base an answer.
He was working on a new recording with his pianist and conductor Vincent Falcone when a man named Sonny Burke entered the studio. An important confidant to Sinatra, Burke served as musical director for Sinatra’s label Reprise Records and had produced most of Frank’s musical output since the early 1960s.
Adam, Where are You? – Spiritual Commentary
By Elder Hugh Tarrer
Genesis 3:9 “And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?”
Consider this scripture for a moment, and simply ponder the fact that an all-knowing, all-seeing and all-powerful God would ever have to ask this simple question. A question that reverberates and resonates through time and until this very day. Adam where are art thou? As an Emergency Medical Dispatcher Trainer and Supervisor I train our emergency dispatchers to get 3 facets of where the emergency is: the location, the position, and the alignment. Where an emergency is, is not simply to get an address, but you must know where it is utilizing Global Positioning Satellites, Longitude and Latitude and what is it near in relation to a known point or (resection) for you ‘old school soldiers,’ lastly be able to convert this from Longitude and Latitude to Grid-coordinates for Emergency first responders and or helicopters that will have to negotiate terrain easier. Once this is established and we verify a phone number the questioning will be of the Status of the patient.
