I first heard one of Adele's songs, "Make You Feel My Love," while watching the movie "When in Rome." I was SO impressed with her vocal styling, but for whatever reason, I didn't follow up on her until she did "Skyfall." Her first album, 19, was released in 2008, and here I am, just purchasing it NOW in 2016~~okay, I admit I'm a little behind the times~~but I wanted to start at the beginning with Adele, to experience her music when she was first starting out. Suffice to say, I was NOT disappointed~~this CD is AMAZING! I've added her more recent CDs to my Christmas Wish List, so hopefully, I will soon catch up with what the rest of the world already knows~~that Adele is pure vocal magic and is HERE TO STAY.

I can't say enough POSITIVE things about Pentatonix! I've been around long enough to know that a "Christmas Album" can be a "make-it-or-break-it" challenge for ANY well-known group. Spoiler Alert: This CD is definitely a MAKE-IT! Their harmonies are outstanding; their arrangements are sometimes surprising (in a GOOD way!); and they put their own spin on how Christmas should make ALL of us feel. HIGHLY recommended!

I've been a HUGE fan of A-Capella music for most of my life...in recent years, I've been totally hooked on Straight No Chaser. A like-minded afficionado of A-Capella music suggested Pentatonix to me, and now I'm SO hooked on them! Their sound is modern, fun, and funky, and they display some serious skill sets when it comes to writing their own tunes. If you're an A-Capella "newbie," this is a GREAT CD with which to start your education...if you're already an A-Capella groupie, this is a GREAT CD in which to continue your journey (it's definitely NOT your parents' A-Capella!).

I have probably seen Bull Durham at least 30 times since the movie was first released (VHS, then DVD, now Blu-Ray DVD), and even now, it's as funny and uplifting as ever. IMHO, you do NOT have to be a baseball fan to appreciate this movie, but it certainly helps--especially if you're familiar with Minor-League professional baseball. As a youngster, I remember seeing Max Patkin, the Clown Prince of Baseball, perform in person at more than one minor-league game in our city (Reading, PA, now known as Baseballtown, USA). In those days, the clubs did whatever they could to get folks into the stands, and IMHO, Bull Durham is a pretty accurate representation of those times. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Kevin Costner and Tim Robbins get a lot of screen time, either :-) . Sassy, smart, funny, enduring--take a seat and join The Church of Baseball!

I have seen The Sandlot more times than I can remember, and yet every time I watch it, I still laugh at the "pickle" these boys manage to get themselves into, and their creativity in trying to solve the problem. It's a coming-of-age story set in a time when life was less complicated, and yet it's still relevant to us today. Plus, it's a story about baseball--and what American boy (or girl!), man, or woman doesn't like a good baseball-themed movie? Watch it yourself, then watch it with your kids AND grandkids--you'll be amazed at how The Sandlot appeals to EACH and EVERY age!
