By the way, this page is pretty long...because I have a lot to say!
I Love Music. I'm sooooo tempted to say I'm more musician than woman but I like high heels too much! I love Ted & my family & animals & classical & medieval music & music composition/arrangement/recording & belly dance & old Victorian houses & clothes/shoes/jewelry/makeup & massages & antiques & exotic home decor & Starbucks & Daphne's Greek Cafe & more...so much more...
Music
MUSIC: Music is my raison d'etre. There's really not much else to say about it. It's finally nice to have a sense of entitlement in the world and know who you are.
Movies
MOVIES: Too many to list but off the top of my head: ROMEO & JULIET (Franco Zeferelli's version) is my all-time favorite...such cinematography!, such costuming! EXQUISITE!! Also, A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS (Paul Scofield as Sir Thomas More and Vanessa Redgrave as Anne Bolyn; this movie looks like an actual moving Rembrandt painting! SUBLIME!); MISTS OF AVALON with Julianna Margoles, UNDERWORLD I & II (can I be Kate Beckinsale, please?), ANNE OF THE THOUSAND DAYS (with Richard Burton & Genevieve Bujold)
Also, Excalibur, Legend, Fantasia, Amadeus, Impromtu, Rob Roy (Liam Neeson), Braveheart (Mel Gibson), Cromwell (Richard Harris), Dangerous Liasons, Queen Margot (Isabelle Adjani), Elizabeth (with Cate Blanchett), Elizabeth R (Glenda Jackson), Farinelli, Count Of Monte Cristo (Jim Caveziel), Girl With A Pearl Earring, Arabian Nights, Brotherhood Of The Wolf, The Red Violin, Songcatcher (LUV this movie ~ I love Appalachian Mountain music, which is German in origin), all the Lord of the Rings movies, Interview With The Vampire, Dracula (Bela Lugosi), Dracula: The Dark Prince, Gothic, The 13th Warrior, Monty Python And The Holy Grail (yes, I know a lot of the dialog and own the script!), The Crow, Master & Commander, I Dreamed Of Africa, Sophie's Choice, Harold & Maude, One Few Over The Cuckoo's Nest, The Bird Cage, What Dreams May Come and more that I can't think of right now
1950s movies such as The Innocents (Debra Kerr), The Dark Angel (with Peter O'Toole), Cleopatra (Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton), Ulysses with Kirk Douglas, the Sinbad movies, all the "sword & sandals" movies from that time, in fact, the scenes where the harem girls are dancing for the sultan inspire me to write soundtrack music (an example will be on my new CD).
ACTORS: Sir Lawrence Olivier, Peter O'Toole, Richard Burton, Glenda Jackson, Judy Davis, Miranda Richardson, Gary Oldman, Johnny Depp, Sean Penn, Tilda Swinton, Maggie Smith, Daniel Day Lewis, Timothy Dalton, all the Shakespearean trained actors
TELEVISION: Love DOGTOWN, LEMUR KINGDOM, ESCAPE TO CHIMP EDEN, MERKAT MANOR, THE DOG WHISPERER, GHOST ADVENTURES, GHOST HUNTERS, MOST HAUNTED on Travel Channel, A HAUNTING, ANCIENT ALMANAC on History Channel, AMERICA'S CASTLES; We have a 52" HD TV so we "veg" out and watch whatever we've TiVo'd
Books
BOOKS: Mists of Avalon, Bible, Fingerprints Of The Gods, anything from Nag Hammadi library, Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain, Power Of Myth by The Power Of Myth by Joseph Campbell, When Elephants Weep, The Artful Universe, Charon Cosmology, Scientific Healing Affirmations by P. Yogananda ...and wouldn't it be great to know what books were in the Alexandrian Library!!
HEROS: My Dad, God, Millard Fuller (Habitat For Humanity founder), Mother Teresa, Mike Ventarola and the nuns at Mount Carmel Guild in New Jersy, Bruce Ludwig (Giza Plateau Mapping Project and owner of a private reserve in Kenya for Masai Tribes and board member for Amboseli Trust for Elephants and the African Elephant Conservation Trust, principal benefactor of historic archeological projects in Egypt, Jordan and Africa, also a board member of Earthwatch International).
Love airplane pilot Scully, Joseph Campbell and Paramahansa Yogananda - no glitz, no glamour, just the real deal! They walked the talk. Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael A Monsoor (MA2) was killed during operations in enemy-held territory at Ar Ramadi, Iraq, when he threw himself on top of a grenade in order to save the lives of his fellow SEALS. And photographer Wayne Shoenfeld. Wayne is an extremely successful, incredible photographer and all he cares about is giving his money away to charities ahd helping people! (i.e., he "walks the talk"). Wayne is doing a documentary on "Doctors Without Borders" in Ethiopia and he asked me if he could use Angels Of Venice music for it! I couldn't be happier ~ this is a dream come true for me to contribute something like this and Wayne is one of my Heros for no B.S. and for truly "walking the talk!"
I LIKE THESE IMAGES BELOW AND I HOPE YOU LIKE THEM, TOO.

LOVE MY LIFE! MERE EXISTENCE IS INSPIRATION ENOUGH!
HERE ARE SOME VIDEOS I LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND YOU CAN GET A GOOD IDEA OF MY TASTE IN MUSIC...
LACUNA COIL "Swamped" ~ (above) My kind of song!, one of my favorite bands. Great production, great song, great vocalist, crunchy guitar sound with an excellent tone. I have some black shoes like Cristina Scabbia’s I got at Off Broadway Shoes Warehouse in Redondo Beach, CA!
I WROTE THE LYRICS for this song (above)"Should I" by KINGDOM COME/LENNY WOLF - this is from the 1991 CD "Hands Of Time" (Polydor Records)
.. width="425" height="350">........>
BADLANDS(above)playing the wonderful song "Winter's Call" ~ If ZEPPELIN was a biker band, they would be BADLANDS. Love the outro of this song. R.I.P. Ray Gillan (vocals) ~ what a terrible, terrible loss for the rock world...what a voice...what a hunk! Eric Singer (drums) now plays for KISS. Jake E. Lee, one of my all time fav. guitarists. Greg Chaisson (bass) moved back to Phoenix and still plays bass (NOT DRUMS! HA, HA!) and has a lovely family. BADLANDS ~ a blues based hard rock SUPERGROUP that would only release three great albums. What a shame, what a shame...
MY OTHER FAV. BAND (above) "A PERFECT CIRCLE" performing "Judith" ~ dark, moody, powerful, edgy, artsy, ultracool...
.. width="425" height="350">........>
THIS IS MY COUSIN (above) GARY MYRICK (GTR./VOX) of "Gary Myrick & The Figures" - rockin' the house! Gary's song "She Talks In Stereo" was in the movie "Valley Girl" and he also co-wrote the Grammy winning album "No Brakes" with vocalist John Waite ("Missing You"). Gary will be playing a guitar solo on a song from my upcoming 2007 CD.
..
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS (above) ~ Intense, moody, artsy, powerful ~ my kind of band! From Zeppelin to STP, I love everything about this band: Crunchy guitars, AWESOME songwriting, Scott's vocals...what's not to love?! Last time I saw Scott he was in Taco Bell in Toluca Lake by the movie studios. Ted and I were eating lunch and saw Scott come in. No one recognized him but us. Ted called him over and he told us he was in the studio no doubt recording Velvet Revolver's second CD. He's really a nice person. I've run into him several times, at The Roxy and at a performance of "Miss Saigon" in downtown L.A. when he was with his first wife. I think Scott is one of the best rock vocalists of the last 20 years.
HIDDEN SANCTUARY (above) ~ The original home of Hidden Sanctuary was on MP3.com way back in 1999 and was headed up by the formidable Mike Ventarola. Now, Hidden Sanctuary is a "Live 365" radio station featuring HS artists such as Qntal, Type O Negative, Black Tape For A Blue Girl, Lycia, Clan Of Xymox, Shiva In Exile (LOVE them/him), etc. Please click on the symbol above and check it out!
MY BELOVED TEACHER (above)AND FRIEND RANIA (www.raniabellydance.com) performing at Cairo Carnivale; this is an example of the “Egyptian Cabaret” style of belly dance (some people don’t realize there are many different styles of belly dance)
AN EXAMPLE OF GOTHIC STYLE BELLY DANCE (above) including Neon (blonde dancer) who will be releasing a DVD using one of my songs called “The Sins Of Salome.”
TRIBAL BELLY DANCER (above)"Rachel Brice" ~ This is a great example of “Tribal Fusion Belly Dancing;” You can see she's had a lot of Yoga training
Who I'd like to meet: BELIEFS: My beliefs? Christian with Cathar/Gnostic/Buddhist overtones. I'd love to play harp in heaven once I get there. I love religious history and archeology so much. I wanted to be an archeologist when I was in 4th grade (and a race car driver).
I'D LIKE TO MEET: Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, Rafael, Belgian painter M. Fernand Khnopff, Pre-Raphaelite painter John Waterhouse, Belgian painter Jean Delville, Beethoven, Grieg, Bach...especially Bach!, Jimmy Page & Robert Plant (I dedicated the song on this page "Lionheart" to both of them - it's from my 2nd CD "Awake Inside A Dream" - it's one of my best songs), Jimi Hendrix, Ramses The Great, Hatshepsut, Ahkenaten, Aristotle, Einstein, Johannes Kepler, Paramahansa Yogananda, Rumi, Joseph Campbell, Edgar Cayce, Sir Thomas More, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Elizabeth I, Saladin, Prof. W. W. Tatum, all of my relatives back to the Dark Ages, the Plantagenets and the Montegues and the Angevins, Hildegard von Bingen, King Alfonso the Wise, Charlemagne, Countess Beatriz de Dia, Joan D'Arc, Stephen Hawking, Alexander The Great, William Shakespeare, J. R. R. Tolkien, Poet W. B. Yeats, Lord Byron (I think!), Henry David Thoreau, Manley Palmer Hall, all of our Founding Fathers and Freemasons (MY GRANDFATHER WAS A MASON AND A MEMBER OF THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR), all my relatives that ever extisted, Jimmy Carter, ..ary filmmaker Bram Roos (R.I.P.), Director Ridley Scott - I did a charity gig with Stephen Stills and tried to meet him but he wouldn't give me the time of day, the jerk... :::chuckles::: What I'd really like (my fantasy) is to meet all of the genuinely good, kind, nice people out there living in the world and have a killer catered party in a lush forest with music and massages for everyone and give everyone a harp to learn to play and then run through an English maze and whoever finds the center of the maze gets a five carat emerald and a little box that, when you open it up, it says that all the pain and suffering and war and tragedy in the world is forever gone!
I LIKE PRE-RAPHAELITE IMAGRY:
You scored as Angel. Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.
What Mythical Creature Best Represents You? (Pretty Pics)
You are most like the WEREWOLF! The werewolf, perhaps the most misunderstood mythological being, is often mistaken for dark, evil, accursed beings of only the worst nightmares. But there is the many other sides of the story. Some see them as creatures of free-will, therefor are neutral on the subject. While others see them as wolves only bigger, smart, loyal creatures. Yet in nearly every story they are described as mysterious and cunning. You are just that, mysterious, cunning, smart and loyal. Take this quiz!
Hello how are you? I just wanted to let you know that I have just finished producing a yoga, meditation & relaxation album titled “Surrender of The Mind”
This album takes you on a musical journey like no other. Hitz has captured the ancient sounds of panpipes, tabla, bells, sitar and many other ambient resonances for those who wish to achieve a higher state of consciousness, greater focus and self-awareness through yoga & meditation, or simply to accomplish a more relaxed and peaceful state of mind.
Surrender of The Mind is written for those of us who need to get away. Maybe we have had a tough day at work. Maybe we have studied hard. Maybe we need to reflect on certain events in our lives. Maybe we just need a moment to clear our minds and re-set our mental strength. No matter what the reason is, there comes a time when we all need to surrender our minds.
I have attached a mini player for you to listen to a sample of the album. Let me know what you think of it.
The full version of Surrender of The Mind is available on all download sites including iTunes and Amazon.
We are wishing you an excited Monday, with this Titel "Remember" of the DVD Spaceflight. JADE VALERIE has written this emotional song and gives the expression with wonderful voice again.
NEW CD SEPT. 23RD! Charles Edward & Carol Tatum, Hope all is well with you and yours. Please feel free to stop by and say hello. I'm here quite a bit working. Please leave comments, and put yourself on my e-mail list if you want more updates. God bless you, and Live Victoriously!!
"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell." Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press
Cheers my friend. Just passing to wish you a great day. Sharing a cold one with your friends is some of the most fun you can have with you pants on !!! "Fear no beer" and always, Rock Hard... Timo kaarkoski - Temple of Sin
