Backstage with Ashlee Simpson

Just back from a visit to the beach, and while checking my (Yahoo) mail I saw this 'Backstage' video from Ashlee Simpson.



So why not also show you also one of her CD's, and while I am at it, also show you a CD
of her also stunning looking sister:

Happy Feet dancing the Macarena

It's been 15 years since Antonio Romero and Rafael Ruiz (Los del Rio) wrote "Macarena" what is known today as the biggest selling Latin Record in Music history" according to Darius Jordi Lassus President and CEO of IMC Records, Inc.

IMC Records is celebrating a Fiesta Quinceañera Macarena with Los del Rio, Jon Secada

This year in the U.S. 400,000 Latinas will turn 15 and celebrate a Quinceañera party, a Quinceañera or Quince años is, in some Spanish-speaking regions of the Americas, a young woman's celebration of her fifteenth birthday, which is commemorated in a unique and different way from her other birthdays.

An Other 'Music Business Inside Story'

An other great artist that I want to talk about
is Trijntje Oosterhuis, some time ago she performed
at the 'Goois Jazz Festival!', there she was
the 'Mystery Guest'. (Somehow I must have been enough 'Insider'
to know that she would be the Mystery Guest that evening,
because I did hear about it from some of the musicians.)

O.K. now about the (Getting) Inside Story..,

Because I promised to listen to somebody performing in one
of the bands at the Jazz Festival, (In several areas
of the building, several bands where playing at te same time)
I somehow almost managed to miss the performance
of Trijntje Oosterhuis!

The doors of the hall where already closed
and nobody could get in anymore. Fortunately there also was
a side door near the stage and maybe also because
I was there with a Musician we could get in that way probably
as being seen as one of the 'Music Guy's', having
the best spots possible, practically on stage ourselves!
At the same spot as Willem Duys, Known from Dutch Radio & TV
and known for being a big fan of 'Toots Thielemans'
the Musician that Trijntje performed with.

Trijntje has a special CD with Burt Bacharach Songs,
in the Video here below you can find
a song titled: "That's what Friends are For".

Your Ticket to Nice Music

Thinking about how strange it may appear to think of Mariah as belonging to my sales team, as you once might have read in one of the previous posts.

(you can find the previous post in the link here below:)

http://hpshappymusic.blogspot.com/2008/01/your-ticket-to-nice-music.html

I have some even stranger things that I became to realise. In my time at that Big Entertainment Company I worked, I was once invited to come to a special concert of "Brian McNight" didn't went to the concert, because I worked hard, hardly had any energy left to go to all the concerts that I could go to besides at that time I didn't even know who he was!!! Just a few days later I saw him perform in an episode of the Hit TV-series "Beverly Hills 90210" And recently read in a newspaper article that he has sold over 16 Million Albums!

Than an other thing also was invited to the After Party of "Boys II Men" infact the tickets for it came out of my printer. Didn't go to that one either. The stranges thing when I some years ago bought a CD of Mariah Carey "Nr. 1's" I discovered that she had duets with both Brian McNight "When ever you Call" and on that CD there is also a song "One Sweet Day" with Boys II Men! So can you blame me to do something back and be on her Sales Team as well.

You can find her CD on Amazon.

TARZAN, Great Music Great Performance!

I got an Invitation, and Yesterday went
to the Musical TARZAN with Music and Lyrics
by Phill Collins. This performance was a lot different
than any other theatrical production
I have ever seen,

 

(It also plays in the Jungle, a place that 

we took many of our Photo's for our Designs!) 

  TARZAN is one of the very well known 

EVERGREEN Stories that everybody knows! 

 In this Production.....,
       'An 'openings scene' that definitely is out of the ordinary...!!'

(you can simply click the (fat)
link 'CLICK HERE' here below to read more)



It is Produced by the
Dutch Production Company 'Joop van den Ende Theaterproducties'
together with 'Disney Theatrical Productions'
I went to the performance in a theater named:
'Het FORTIS Circustheater' here
in the Netherlands(Europe).

In this theatre they have tremendious special facilities
because in this performance of Tarzan they have the actors
flying arround even above the crowds sitting in the audiance!

The story probably is familiar, it's about a youngh
English family that has been shipwrecked and gets lost
in the Jungle. The parents don't survive the merciless Jungle,
leaving their newborn baby allone in the Jungle. Although
not entirely allone because he gets 'resqued' by Kala
a female gorrilla that takes care of him. This way
he survives and gets brought up by gorrillas.

(BTW you can read more about
things like Story telling
and Writing on the

Writing Blog)

While constantly looking for his true identity,
he is faced with a Dilemma when he has to choose
between his gorrilla family where he was brought
or accompany Jane, and build upa life among people
of his own kind?

             'A wonderful theatrical performance by actors Chantal Janzen (Jane)
             and originally Ron Link* (Tarzan), and the rest of the cast where all
             unbelievably proffesional and it must have been a challenge to
             also learn to be Acrobats and just like Superman, Dutch Vrienden van Amstel Live Artists (Or Pink) flying throuhg the Air !'

* (Last Minute Information: due to
a little accident having a broken toe,
the 'understudy' John Vooys replaced
Ron Link during his recovery.)

The decors and Light & Sound effects also
where very impressive. For example there
was a white cloth hanging from the top all
the way down to lying on stage with moving
lighteffects, giving it the illusion
of a waterfall going over into a spring.
It all looked somewhat magical.

And also it goes without saying that the Music
and Lyrics by Phill Collins are great and
will bring back the memory to this wonderful
performance every time I hear one of
the songs from it on the radio.

Sorry, that I cannot tell you anything
about the very unusual special 'openings scene'
you have to see for yourself!

In this Musical You also See Chantal Janzen 

that we also know als 

TV-Presenter for example 

at the EUROVISION Song Contest !

Did you know I once had MARIAH CAREY on my Sales Team?!!

O.k. I admit it's a matter of putting it..,

Some years ago I wrote a "Short Story" published in the Glossy Magazine FHM. (see Writing Success) On the Cover of that particular magazine was a Big Photo Picture of MARIAH CAREY. She must have played a role in the amount of Sales of the Magazine, the Magazine that contained one of my own publications! I was kind of proud to have such a famous person as Mariah on the Cover, an extra guarantee that people would notice the Magazine at the Kiosk. So as you can See..., Technically Mariah Carey has been on my Sales Team!
