Ned Sublette I was on Gotham Gal's website this morning using th LIJIT Search Engine http://gothamgal.blogs.com/ I wanted to re read a book by one of my favorite authors and he is also a great musician ! Yes I found it! Viva Ritmo Latino Cuba and Its Music: From the First Drums to the Mambo by Ned Sublette "This entertaining history of Cuba and its music begins with the collision of Spain and Africa and continues through the era of Miguelito Valdés, Arsenio Rodríguez, Benny Moré, and Pérez Prado. It offers a behind-the-scenes examination of music from a Cuban point of view, unearthing surprising, provocative connections and making a case for Cuba as fundamental to the evolution of music in the New World. Revealed are how the music of black slaves transformed 16th-century Europe, how the claves appeared, and how Cuban music influenced ragtime, jazz, and rhythm and blues. Music lovers will follow this journey from Andalucía, the Congo, the Calabar, Dahomey, and Yorubaland via Cuba to Mexico, Puerto Rico, Saint-Domingue, New Orleans, New York, and Miami. The music is placed in a historical context that considers the complexities of the slave trade; Cuba's relationship to the United States; its revolutionary political traditions; the music of Santería, Palo, Abakuá, Vodú, and much more. Cuba and its Music is an ambitious project whose repercussions in a different genre might be on a par with those of Buena Vista. Grounded on frequent trips to the island and an extensive bibliography, this book by Ned Sublette is a first for an English-reading public: a didactic and accessible steer through part of Cuba's turbulent history and its music, whose parameters embrace cultural anthropology, sociology, politics, and history, as well as musicology and music. I also get a lot of great Latin Music from NPR http://www.ritmolatino.org/ Lijit is great search engine with excellent Tech Support it is great add for any web site http://www.lijit.com/about N

April 25, 2009 Shaving My Head for Charity | chrisbrogan.com :en:Seth Godin Image via Wikipedia April 24, 2009 · Chris Brogan Image by BryanPerson via Flickr Before I Shave My Head Once, a while back, I said to a few people that if I got to #1 on the Advertising Age Power150, I'd shave my head in tribute to Seth Godin, a true mentor and leader in my space. I didn't figure I'd ever get to one, and quite honestly, I think it's a technological glitch. That said, Justin Levy is keeping me to my word.

Disqus Adds FriendFeed Integration-to Follow Fred Wilson Author Seth Godin at PDF 2007 Image via Wikipedia Why I follow Fred Wilson ! http://fredwilson.vc/ This article on http://disqus.com/ is written by Mr Wilson A master at Content Creation. Fred Wilson and Seth Godin http://sethgodin.typepad.com/ both have the ability to capsulize. capsulize - put in a short or concise form; reduce in volume; "capsulize the news"! It is a skill mostly prevalent in Poetry. I use Disqus and am currently having this site rebuilt and it is not installed yet ! I miss it but still have access to post with Disqus on other sites ! Mr Wilson an investor in many applications like Glue from Adaptive Blue always states his position in an article, if he is an investor in the Application discloses the fact ! Personally if what he is reviewing is a good product I really don't care who owns it but he is probably right other wise you play "Ok With Corrections!" Mr Wilson's Wife has created a great content platform http://gothamgal.blogs.com/ My wife follows it on Tabbloid a free service from Hewlett Packard tabbloid_2009-01-10_0901-gotham-gal2 I also have her feed in my Gmail -Gotham Gal's blog belongs in a newspaper it a true social media vehicle! I hope find following my reads intersting since I am a a Man Of Good Taste and absorb good content with Gusto ! You can also find me at link below http://msandler.tumblr.com/ MarshalSandler.com is a playground of ideas, introductions, and synergies. Marshal exhibits a blogging style that is less about tamping out his thoughts and more about the juggling, rearranging, juxtaposing, and syndicating of the content of other people and companies - a communications cubism of sorts. There's no room for crap, but there is plenty of room for friendly people with interesting ideas. Marshal's day is the search for new technologies, new ideas, new relationships, and new things to curse happily about. So, participate. Cut bait.

It is no secret Gotham Gal is one of my favorites and is a top content creator ! I once posted a comment on her husband's web site that I still took notes on Crain StationaryWith A Quill pen ! http://www.crane.com/ My mother was very well educated and in our house Etiquette was king ! We had beautiful Crane Note paper and I still remember even though I was born in 1936-having to write hundreds of thank you note's to people who attended my Bar Mitzvah ! I of course used a Parker 51 Fountain Pen that I got as a gift ! When I turned 21 I had my own Crain Stationary that was blind embossed with a simple line in the left hand column and the store where I bought it had to register the embossing ! The stationary got me a lot of response from politicians and other people I wrote , they must have thought I was important ! Presentation is a very important element in any communcation ! I was always jealous of my Friends who attented Catholic School since their penmanship was a work of art ! They had the Palmer method applied to their fingers with a ruler ! I didn't meet the ruler method until I went Hebrew School ! I went to Detroit Country Day School for grades 1-12 and there was a lot of pressure applied to read and write ! Steve Ballmer also graduated from that School a long time after me and I know dam well it gave him an excellent base for a career ! Most of the people at that school were Harvard Bound since the headmaster F Alden Shaw was a Harvard graduate ! Me I went to the University of Miami and majored in what they call today Communication, with a minor in Statistics and it was the fifties so we all got 5th Degree Black Belts in Rum Drinking on a beautiful island 90 mies from Miami - Viva Ritmo Latino ! A good education will help you understand the Human Condition a long with a few wacks from a good Psychiatrist ! Both these elements temper your ego and make sure you are not a snob ! The internet is young and I have found a lot of people who crea
