Our globe seems to be increasing our communication links with inter-continental sharing of everyday common events, political happenings, disasters, and celebrations. I've been exploring this site. So far, I like what I hear. The Sound Cloud UK offers over 60 samples for listeners.

Haven't heard of it? the link is http://soundcloud.com/world-circuit-records It's a refreshing option offering some of the world established greats---and rising stars. One of my favorite great, established World music artists (has been for years) is Ali Farka Touré. For those who don't speak French, the following video it has English subtitles.

Appreciation for World Music is continues to grow. The sounds of other cultures have impacted American popular music for many decades(think Scott Joplin's "Mexican Serenade","Ricky Ricardo's "Babaloo," use of the sitar 1970s music, Sitar Our music has also influenced the world-- funk jamming cross pollination sounds from us in World Music: "Soul Makossa" by Manu Dibango to the present cross pollination beats of X Plastaz (Swahili rap) to name a scant few.

Part of A Legacy:Calvary Baptist Church San Diego

Those of you following me on Twitter and at The Center For World Music: https://centerforworldmusic.org/about-us/board/ know that I was a pianist at Calvary Baptist Church in San Diego California back in the day. Charles Ray was the organist/pianist, professor Jean Wesson was the music director. I also played accompanied the Calvary Baptist Church Youth Choir under the direction of Carol Durgan. The church was known as Second Baptist in 1889 on the corner of 1st and B street. It was moved to the corner of then Crosby Street, https://www.calvarybcsd.org/history/ now known as 719 Cesar E. Chavez Pkwy. and at this time is following the leadership of pastor Dr. Emanuel Whipple Sr. And this Sunday in September 2012 Calvary Baptist Church had a Youth Choir Reunion Concert at 3:30. The concert was a musical extravaganza! This post is going viral so I must do a 2024 update: Hello Dr. Buchanon. Thank you for reading my post from 2012. I am honored!!!!

Jellyfish around San Diego Embarcadero and Broadway Pier

Delores Fisher Blogger on an early Morning stroll Jellyfish are visiting the San Diego CA. Broadway Pier and Embarcadero again. Jellyfish appeared to swarm in this same area in 2012. Although I posted about the Black Nettle Jellyfish in July 2012, this was the first time since that year that I have seen any type of jellyfish in such numbers at the pier. http://carpenoctum2.blogspot.com/2012/08/black-sea-nettle-jellyfish-at.html However, multiple sightings of similar and other jellyfish have increased since 2012. Several have been posted on youtube. 2015 has been an odd weather year for San Diego with heat and odd rainfall days (despite our drought). It is possible that temperature shifts are part of the reason why jellyfish are in our bays and near our beaches. Our October weather has been unseasonably hot this early fall, similar to temperatures during earlier 2015 seasonal sightings. Shannon Handy reported on a North County swarm of Sail jellyfish in May.

Professor Richard Thompson San Diego State University School of Music and Dance Professor Richard Thompson Composer/Pianist Exciting news!!!!!!!
