All the group members were actively involved in song writing with some of this backlog occasionally committed to tape whenever time and money would permit.<br /><br />Now, decades later, the previously un-released recordings they made have been assembled into the one and only Breakthru album titled "Adventures Highway". This collection the band members say, represents how they would like the group to be best remembered.<br /><br />Circle Records is an independent U.K. based record label that specializes in obscure groups from the 1960s and 70s. Operated by Peter Wild, the label prides itself in releasing high-quality vinyl pressings and CDs with the emphasis on attention to detail as well as respect for the artists themselves. "Quality not Quantity" is their motto so if the Breakthru album is any indication of this, I look forward to any other projects they do involving West Midlands bands.<br /><br />Circle Records have done an amazing job in putting this package together. With full co-operation and assistance from former group members, the Breakthru "Adventures Highway" album includes the best of the band's previously un-issued recordings from 1967 to 1970.<br /><br />The audio quality of some individual tracks does vary as you can pretty much tell those done as demos or salvaged from acetates but do not let this distract you from enjoying the music. Reportedly a year in the making, the complete "Breakthru package" comprises two compact discs (CD and CD EP) in a jewel case with booklet, a vinyl LP in an attractive printed sleeve with full-size book, and a reproduction vinyl 45 rpm single in its own printed sleeve.<br /><br />You can order the CDs separate from the vinyl, but then you'd be missing out on the full-size artwork and book. After getting used to CDs over the years, it feels wonderful to hold a new "vinyl" album in my hands again and being able to clearly read all the liner notes and book without use of a magnifying glass!<br /><br />The quality of the packaging for both LP and CD is exceptional with full-colour artwork throughout and more than 100 vintage photos (some in colour) of the band as taken by their "official" photographer Barry Gonen. Also appearing in the artwork are reproductions of original advertisements and other memorabilia associated with the group.<br /><br />The CD booklet comprises 16 pages with a well-researched and highly detailed history of the group as written by Mike Stax of Ugly Things magazine.<br /><br />Getting down now to the music - did I mention there was music in this package? Well yes there is and lots of it too! Chronologically and starting with Ice-Cream Tree, this was the A-side to the group's only single and issued in 1968. It's very much a period piece but really not half as bad as the group made it out to be.<br /><br />I rather like it as there's a very catchy chorus (ring-a-ring of roses I can see, let's all dance round the ice cream tree...) and indeed could have become a hit. Just as well for the band it wasn't though so they were spared the embarrassment of having to perform it for more than a few times live on stage.<br /><br />The B-side Julius Caesar was an original composition by drummer Richard Thomas and less "pop" but more "rock". I love the drums and bass on this one - too bad it didn't go on for longer as it lends itself to an extended instrumental solo somewhere in the middle.<br /><br />Going now to the unreleased material, the first batch of which was recorded at Tetlow's Recording Studio in Birmingham at the end of 1967. The group-written Yours was an early attempt of an original song but would have been difficult to dance to with its stops and shifting rhythm.<br /><br />A cover of the Gershwin classic Summertime sounds much more accessible with plenty of Hammond organ powering it along. Toyland from 1968 was an unusual one for the band as it was a cover of the Alan Bown version and according to Keith Abingdon, may not have ever been played live by the group. All these mentioned tracks appear on the CD EP that comes with the standard CD package.<br /><br />As for the "Adventures Highway" album itself, this was assembled from a combination of unreleased-demos, BBC sessions, and surviving recordings from the results of various excursions into the studio by the group between 1967 and 1970. Side one kicks off with the high-energy group-composed Believe It from 1970.<br /><br />You can just imagine the band going all out on this one with its high-energy blues-driven attack. Here Comes The End from 1967 is a lot more psychedelic sounding with abundant echo effects but still very powerful.<br /><br />The bluesy cover of Willie Dixon's Spoonful really gives an indication of what Breakthru were all about. Gary Aflalo's blues-harmonica playing on this one is exceptional against a backdrop of thundering hammond organ and distorted guitars. If you really hate your neighbours then this is the one to play loud!<br /><br />Love Is Strange starts out with some crashing guitars/bass/drums highly reminiscent of The Beatles Rain. This one is supposedly based on the Everly Brother's version of the song and features both Gary Aflalo and Keith Abingdon doing a good job harmonizing on the vocals. This is followed by the album's title track Adventures Highway from 1968 and what a number it is too!<br /><br />Menacing hammond organ joined by pounding drums and guitar build into a climax of sheer volume that soon becomes a backdrop for spaced-out lyrics; Oh let's get transmitted, there's no planet that's too far. We'll see Jupiter and Mars, we'll see strange and weird sights on our space bound trip tonight... (make of it what you will).<br /><br />The melodic and hypnotic I Have A Dream composed by Geoff Garratley, reaches the height of social consciousness to include actual recorded excerpts from Martin Luther King's famous speech. Interestingly, this track was left off the vinyl version of the Breakthru album.<br /><br />Bob Booth's Growing Older is similarly laid-back but does include some wild hammond fingering towards the end. Troubleshoot co-written by Keith Abingdon and Richard Thomas is an excellent psychedelic rampage with lyrics to match. It has some great wah-wah guitar effects similar to what Roy Wood was doing at the time on many of The Move's records.<br /><br />We then go right into The Story Of Peer Gynt with its opening riff taken directly from Hall Of The Mountain King (almost seems like a tradition amongst Brum bands to pay tribute to classical music at some time or another). This rocking track was considered for single release at the time but for some reason it never happened. A pity as it would surely have made a good follow up to Ice Cream Tree.<br /><br />The remaining tracks on the album were recorded in 1970 at London's Piccadilly studios. Although the group were on the verge of splitting by this time, they recorded (ironically) what are regarded as some of their best tracks.<br /><br />Alice Dropped Out from these sessions, would have made a fine single. As one of several Breakthru tracks co-composed by Keith Abingdon and Richard Thomas, this one is a driving blues-rock number with guitars very much at the forefront and the trademark hammond absent.<br /><br />This would have been a powerful one when performed by the band live. It is followed on the album by Happiness which shows the band could still be tuneful in a commercial direction when they wanted to. Shake Off That Lead is another such radio-friendly track that bounces along with a catchy keyboard-driven melody.<br /><br />The final track on the Breakthru album is titled Sailor Song. A wonderfully harmonious partnership of keyboard and guitar, and as the title suggests, the lyrics tell of a seafaring character who would rather spend his life out on the ocean rather than be troubled by the problems experienced by those on land.<br /><br />Maybe it's meant as an expression of ultimate freedom (or freedom of expression) that seems to run through the groups music from start to finish on these collected tracks that make up the Breakthru album.<br /><br />The Circle Records "Breakthru" album package serves as a fine tribute to one of the West Midlands great performing groups of the late 1960s. Breakthru were one of those bands who were at the leading edge of the pop music revolution at a time when innovation and the growth of new musical ideas was reaching its peak during the 1960s.<br /><br />"Adventures Highway" fulfills a dream they had back then and this time you can join them on their journey. Highly recommended!</em></span><br /><br /><span style="color: #33ff33;"><strong>Breakthru - Believe It:</strong></span><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="1" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/DkJUd6zUE3o?rel=0" width="450"></iframe><br /><br /><span style="color: yellow;"><strong>Track list:</strong></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span"><strong><span style="color: #33ff33;">CD 1:</span></strong></span><br /><br />01.

There is a little less attention to deeper arrangements, but the songs still sound fine, even when several of them are a bit more influenced by country-rock.<br /><br />The overall feeling is light and reveals some contentment and a certain positivism expressed by sunny flavours and a happy and a light feeling which may be somewhat typical for citizens from sunny California. The song "Good morning world", standing for a hopeful new beginning, is taken also to this second solo album, with a radio friendly happy version.<br /><br />And also that old love isn't forgotten, which can be noticed in almost every song, but despite my remarks on the previous album, the positiveness and energy of it, is still able to live on and feed his actions further.<br /><br />I also like very much the 12-string driven songs. The bonus track, referring to the funny feeling that at 30 years old he still is playing rock'n roll is a bit lighter in style, but as a song still fits well as an addition to this chapter or period. </span><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Gerald Van Waes</span></span><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aaE2IVk00Ww/Tn1ylQ8048I/AAAAAAAABxg/DciecoRTIgw/s1600/Disc002.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655802691578028994" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aaE2IVk00Ww/Tn1ylQ8048I/AAAAAAAABxg/DciecoRTIgw/s320/Disc002.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AXv_xl9p4eI" width="420"></iframe></div><br /><span style="color: yellow; font-weight: bold;">Tracks</span><br /><span style="color: silver;">1.

Dylan was far from through, however, and with Highway 61 Revisited, he for the first time over the course of an entire album fused that folk with electric blues and rock to create a sound both rural and urban, both intelligent and visceral. Somehow, the 7-minute-long "Like a Rolling Stone" worked its way up the charts to number two, and while legions of folk fans felt betrayed, even more listeners felt an electric shock up their bones into their brains.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">Of course, electric Dylan sounded little like other rock music in 1965. The Byrds, using many of Dylan’s songs, were youthful and bright with fresh chimes of 12-strings, and The Who and The Rolling Stones, while sharing many of Dylan’s amplified blues roots, were wild and rebellious. Perhaps only Lennon’s work on The Beatles’ "Help" and patches of The Kink Kontroversy tuned in to the same sources, because rather than young, clean, and itching for a fight, the Dylan of Highway 61 Revisited sounds bummed.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">Unlike many of his contemporaries, Bob Dylan not only took musical cues from the blues, he took the attitude. If that single that hit the charts was a scathing attack of acidic revenge, the next song, "Tombstone Blues", rides its hyper-gallop telling tales of corruption, need, and desperation. "It Takes A Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry" finds a singer who has, “been up all night,” staring out the window, accompanied by gloriously trudging music which shares the narrator’s exhaustion. "Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues" steps lightly with defeat and resignation, and the mocking "Ballad of a Thin Man" is drawn out and ominous, hinting at doom and helplessness.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">Even the upbeat songs betray this mood. "From a Buick 9" is a bouncy, giddy celebration of a woman whose primary attribute seems to be her ability to save the singer from his troubles and to patch him up when that is impossible. The strummed guitars of "Queen Jane Approximately" offers comfort if the title character should stop by, but the singer not only seems to think that she never will visit until tragedy strikes her, but he also expects that disaster as inevitable. The crazy whirl whistling at the beginning of the title track seems to promise wacky comedy, but this humor proves more rooted in the absurdity of life and its evils than in slapstick.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">The folk faithful may have thrown a fit at Dylan ‘selling out’ to the teeny-bopper pop crowd, but the truth was that underneath those electrified squawks and that skipping drum beat is a pure strain of hung-out, used-up, morning-after, and all too adult blues. This undercurrent seeps to the surface in the album’s classic closer, the acoustic dirge for "Desolation Row", the alley were hopes, dreams, and last chances die a sad death so miserable and inevitable that few bother even to put up a fight. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">Even here, that sense of surrender to despair is too simple of a description for a song complex enough to nurse a buried but brutal sense of resentment and anger. Unlike many lengthy songs, "Desolation Row" earns every one of its elevens minutes. Unlike ethereal trip that Dylan would later send the listener on with Blonde on Blonde, Highway 61 Revisited is a train ride across the night, rooted, grounded, and going nowhere.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">The CD layer of this reissue is a huge improvement over the previous Columbia release and rivals the excellent DCC gold disc that fetches a commanding price nowadays. The SACD does an even better job reproducing the sound, with a natural, earthy, unprocessed sound wholly appropriate for this raw, rare American music. The natural dynamic of the mix and the fullness of the instruments, especially the bass drum and the piano, gives the rustic elements of the albums a lived-in quality while still allowing the guitar to blister away when appropriate.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">Highway 61 Revisited is a singular achievement, an earth-bound, world-weary album seductive and comforting in its worn-out languor. Incredibly, Dylan released this less than half a year after the excellent Bringing it All Back Home; this amazing pace probably accounts for this album’s fatigue, but it certainly does not explain its brilliance.</span><br /><a href="http://www.musictap.net/Reviews/PrintCopies/DylanBobHighway61SACDPrint.html" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">Music Tap</span></a><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AAgI-wOtWbk/TnzHRMxyfiI/AAAAAAAABxA/heqQUqcxj5Q/s1600/Disc-1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655614330372259362" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AAgI-wOtWbk/TnzHRMxyfiI/AAAAAAAABxA/heqQUqcxj5Q/s320/Disc-1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><span style="color: yellow; font-weight: bold;">Tracks</span><br /><span style="color: silver;">1.

Opens with dreamy psych mini-epic that recalls the 2nd Fallen Angels album, the rest holds a middle ground between London`68 and the clever pop that Ohio would become famous for, leaving the listener to decide if this is a late 60s lytepsych LP or in fact an Anglo-retro 70s trip. Lots of piano, "Penny Lane" fanfares, high-pitched teen harmonies and unexpected studio tricks.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">" Cincinnatti`s Jade were another one of those elusive early 70`s psychedelic acts who left behind only one private pressing before vanishing into the mist. Virtually nothing is known about the band, but collectors have been swarming record fairs and pillaging eBay for years in the hopes of snagging this relic. So does the album live up to its hype? Mostly, yes...</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Considering the modest budget of such a DIY undertaking in 1970, the mix is well done and the material is very well constructed. Blending the Beatles, Blossom Toes and a number of other pop/psych acts of the era, Jade create a formidable aural tapestry. With slight folk leanings, each track breezes along quite nicely throughout the duration of the album. The engineering trickery in places here are subtle reminders that Jade were foremost Beatles influenced. Perhaps the strangest track is "My Mary" which is absolutely mindblowing. This ingenius piece of music features backwards accompaniment along with warped vocals that sound deceptively reversed but are actually sung forward. The outcome is like a bent merry-go-round, wobbling in circular motion while the seasick vocals spill out over the arrangement. It`s truly a sound to behold. The rest of the album is mostly just as satisfying and any lovers of quirky psych will find alot to enjoy in "Faces of Jade".

Booth, Pawle and Hoppy the drummer teamed up with Gaye and Terry Woods, who had left Steeleye Span after their first album.<br /><br />In Waterloo, May '72, the band decided to cut their losses and knock it on the head. However, later the same year, Booth and Pawle descended on Tim Goulding in his halcyon retreat with a wealth of new material, plus Steve Bulloch on sax/bass and Don Knox on fiddle. With Derek Boston on drums and Pete Downey's light show, the band undertook a short but enjoyable Irish tour. The Horsebox Tour, with Dark Mavis and Bill Foley.<br /><br />On completion, we each set off once more to "do our own thing", as in raising children, learning to integrate into society etc...whatever you're having yourself. About 1980, we decided to give another stab at the big time, suitably enhanced by Joe Thomas on fiddle, TJM Tutty on bass and the 2 Ronnies on drums. (A succession of drummers over the years: Tom Coady, Tel Tetrault, Fran Breen, Robbie Brennan, Earl Gill jr., Punka Khosa inter allia.) The inaugural gig at the Project Arts Centre was an unmitigated disaster. One still wakes occasionally about 3 a,m. in a cold sweat.<br /><br />The main problem lay in Ivan's inability to keep the bazouki in tune, plus a liberal use of smoke bombs...the less said the better. From then on the only way was up...Stragglers' Bail at Kenmare's Cibeal. Providing soundtrack for Tim Booth's film 'The Prisoner" involved studio time, and a chance to lay down some demos produced by Jerome Rimsome, (Erstwhile Motown House bassist.) The Soundtrack was further spiced up with the addition of Gary Moore on acoustic and electric guitars.<br /><br />At this juncture, we had a real doctor playing saxophone, namely Kevin Strong, who went on to save lives while we manfully strove to blow minds. Starting out as a quasi acoustic outfit, we had mutated - through a series of hybrid crossovers and implants - into a fun party band people could dance to. (in the old fashioned pre E way.)<br /><br />The current line up has remained constant over the last fifteen years or so, only the name of the drummer having been changed for tax purposes... Having played together steadily but irregularity over the past while, it was deemed time to tackle that "Difficult Third Album" before another century was on us.</span><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ivan Pawle</span> 1997</span><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zUIVyG8RUxc/TnzAxO4-QII/AAAAAAAABww/qvNxxLRXnuk/s1600/Disc-1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655607184113680514" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zUIVyG8RUxc/TnzAxO4-QII/AAAAAAAABww/qvNxxLRXnuk/s320/Disc-1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><span style="color: yellow; font-weight: bold;">Tracks</span><br /><span style="color: silver;">1.

It took him some time, but in 1975 he was ready for what is (for him, and for me too), his best 70’s work.<br /><br />The beautiful vocal harmonies on this solo album are still there, as if he never quit as a duo, just like the impression on the back cover, where you can see him taking a pose before a landscape (right),.. with himself (left). The liner note introduction mention an important pre-dating experience which changed his life as a musician, which started with a feeling of disappointment after having visited a producer in LA, who said he had to work on more self-experienced songs before coming back. And that’s what he did, literally and drastically, leaving us with a witnessing album of such an experience.<br /><br />In what we know about Buddhism and other researches for enlightenment or spiritual relief, we often hear about the idea that we should quit our daily lives to be able to meditate on our direct way of experiences. If we should do that literally any time it could also mean a fleeing of any responsibilities and commitment, while we could also have practiced this by making only a conscious distance with our personality alone, while taking only a distance from daily life in mind, while still consciously participating with attention to all the confronting deepest inner needs which we could gradually fulfil in this context as well.<br /><br />Just at the emotional highlight with a relationship and meeting point, being afraid that one day this might change to something bad, that’s where the songwriter left, trying to keep to good feeling and memory, that should be able to kept high also without this. (I must say I have experienced a likewise situation, but now I know that such decision also destroyed that special connection, and that it wasn’t able to live on without it. (Later I realised that eventually, in a commitment, you are destined to go to a next level, where we can experience who we as individuals and as caretakers for others really are, so that for those who really care about the other this feeling can not become worse, while only illusions and situation-depending experiences can be destroyed by time and change).<br /><br />Alan Munson went for keeper of the energy of the experience itself, which, captured in a moment on an album, of course was able to bring something of that special moment of this, into words and music.<br />by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Gerald Van Waes</span><br /></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3Dtgmm7xb3s/TnyRrXxZacI/AAAAAAAABwQ/zmdBHPrgVPw/s1600/Disc001.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3Dtgmm7xb3s/TnyRrXxZacI/AAAAAAAABwQ/zmdBHPrgVPw/s320/Disc001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655555406372104642" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1jM2c1qUJG0" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="420"></iframe></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Tracks</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);">1.

At their tweest, they can sound as if they're trapped in a toy music box.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">They're better when they get a shred more serious and explore minor melodies, as on ballads like "Part of the Room" and their reworking of the folk standard "O Death" (here simply titled "Death").</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">This rarity was reissued on CD in the U.S. , with the addition of the bonus track "Fafnir and the Knights," which originally appeared on the 1972 various-artists compilation Us on the Village Thing label (by Richie Unterberger).</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N48k7AL_Y7k/Tnv4ciI0u7I/AAAAAAAAAh8/9X_zACRIcq8/s1600/cd_scan_small.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-N48k7AL_Y7k/Tnv4ciI0u7I/AAAAAAAAAh8/9X_zACRIcq8/s400/cd_scan_small.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655386926177631154" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Fafnir and the Knights:</span><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZrYQi8PJk5U?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" width="450" frameborder="1" height="350"></iframe><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Track List:</span><br />01.I Really Wanted You<br />02.Wizard Shep<br />03.Part of the Room<br />04.Green Lane<br />05.Tales of Jasmine and Suicide<br />06.Flowers<br />07.Song of Consolation<br />08.Suddenly It’s Evening<br />09.Death<br />10.Fafnir and the Knights<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">The Sun Also Rises:</span><br />*Graham Hemingway: vocals, guitars<br />*Anne Hemingway: vocals, dulcimer, glockenspiel, vibes, percussion<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);">[ Rip and scans by OldrockerBR ]</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Thanks a lot <span style="font-weight: bold;">TUGA</span> by this CD</span></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51); font-weight: bold;">CODE: 60253</span></span></span></span>Surviverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17610736357597816394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6740930455475827603.post-16516065964414498142011-09-23T00:42:00.000-07:002011-09-23T00:42:53.083-07:00Raise the level of point blank<span class="post-author-vcard"></span><span class="posting-dates"></span><br />

There are many reasons for this- mainly being that the countrified Byrds of McGuinn/White/Battin/Parsons was the most stable lineup of the band, and with it produced numbers that ROCKED harder than anything they had ever done.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">Disc one opens with live material, with obligitory Dylan numbers, the country/rocked out glory of "Nashville West," showcasing the late Clarence White's amazing guitar work, and the blissful 16 minute workout of "Eight Miles High"- proving that when they were inspired, the Byrds could flex their solo muscles and go with it. The studio material offer many wonderful nuggets, such as the McGuinn classic "Chestnut Mare," the Parsons/Battin's religiously based "Yesterday's Train," Leadbelly's "Take a Whiff on Me," sung by White, and White's wonderful take on Lowell George's beautiful "Truck Stop Girl."</span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">The beauty of a whole cd worth of unissued material is more than enough reason to get this gem of a re-release. It showcases the wonderful democracy (or as close as McGuinn would allow it to be) of the band at this point, and with it, the immense talents of all 4 members. Highlights include the studio version of McGuinn's "Lover of the Bayou," Parson's cover of Lowell George's "Willin," and White's "White's Lightning Pt.2," part of a studio jam. Also included are more live tracks including "Jesus Is Just Alright," soon to be the Doobie Brothers' breakout hit.</span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">Many people regard this lp as the last great Byrds lp. This is debatable, of course (I feel "Last Time Around" is a brilliant, if tired, effort), but what is clear is the absolute brillaince of this lineup. Their chops are in top form, and it shows throughout the 2 cds. they never sounded tighter and more at ease with themselves.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">This re-issue is absolutly indispensible listening and a gem of the highest calibre.(By Sean M. Kelly - Portland, Oregon) </span><br />.<br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">As a long-time admirer of the Byrds' Untitled, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical when I heard that another CD was being added to the re-release, with studio and concert outtakes. Forgive me for doubting. The added studio tracks are a revelation. "All the Things" seems like a completely different song, with a brilliant arrangement that features complex vocal harmonies and a prominent McGuinn guitar--one of his most heavenly 12-string riffs. "Lover of the Bayou" features a heavily echoed McGuinn vocal and a strong harmonica backing, plus great guitar interplay between McGuinn and Clarence White--ferocious! Then there are two quiet, acoustic songs with Gene Parsons's vocals that are the real sleepers here--"Willin'" and "Yesterday's Train." The latter has an understated vocal so achingly beautiful that all the song's wistful longing comes through. And the acoustic version of "Kathleen's Song" has a similar fragile beauty. All in all, 22 minutes of unreleased studio cuts than are as strong as anything on the original album. As for the live performances, a great "Jesus is Just Alright"--it's about time a live version is now available. And the arrangement of "Ballad of Easy Rider" is far superior to the studio version, with lovely bitter-sweet harmonies at the end. From a double album to a double CD--and every bit worthy of the name. One of the greatest Byrds albums, now even more awe-inspiring.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fW2RWp6-xTM/Tnt3VX9oUGI/AAAAAAAACwg/sQnNBeDLtUA/s1600/CD%2B1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 398px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fW2RWp6-xTM/Tnt3VX9oUGI/AAAAAAAACwg/sQnNBeDLtUA/s400/CD%2B1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655244966187257954" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0); font-weight: bold;">The Byrds - 8 Miles High</span><br /><iframe src="http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/x2yrsn" width="400" frameborder="0" height="345"></iframe><br /><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2yrsn_the-byrds-8-miles-high-avec-clarenc_music" target="_blank">THE BYRDS: 8 MILES HIGH AVEC Clarence White GUITAR</a> <i>par <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/mrjyn" target="_blank">mrjyn</a></i><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Tracks Listing</span><br /><br />Disc: 1 <br />01.

With most of the band contributing material, the collection offered up a variety of genres including Poco-styled country-rockers ('Tell Me a Story' and 'Roll 'em Down') and slower-paced folk-rock numbers ('Early Morning' and 'Time').<br /><br />Lewis had a nifty voice, the rest of the band capable of contributing some nice CSN&Y-styled harmonies ('Easy Keeper' and 'Dirt Road'). Sure, it may not have been the year's most original offering, but the set was never less than pleasant and tracks such as 'And I'm Gone' and the trippy 'Sleepy Eyes' were miles ahead of the competition. (The album was originally released with a gatefold sleeve.)</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 204, 102);">by <a style="color: rgb(255, 204, 102);" href="http://badcatrecords.com/BadCat/MORNING.htm">BadCat</a></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SjfL0C5lV-Q/TntP8yAx2MI/AAAAAAAABwA/6YLvNAyzcO0/s1600/Disc-1%2Bcopy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SjfL0C5lV-Q/TntP8yAx2MI/AAAAAAAABwA/6YLvNAyzcO0/s320/Disc-1%2Bcopy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655201662729574594" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8hK-vdPyhH4" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="420"></iframe></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Tracks</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);">1.

The place might look a little threatening but don't be fooled because the restaurant is actually quite pocket friendly.<br /><div><br /></div><div>Every restaurant has a theme. What better way to represent Singapore than to let customers experience food street vendor style. Each street vendor stall displays its own specialty dish.

That means that it isn't a chronological experience (at least, not without some shifting between discs near the end of each), but otherwise it is musically very rewarding and, in keeping with the spirit of the band's music, a lot of fun. The volume level is not quite as high as one would have hoped on a CD of this vintage, but the source material is still very clean and there's a lot of detail with minimal extraneous noise (compared with early CD issues of this material) if one decides to push the amplification. It's also interesting to hear the Nice evolve from a psychedelic quartet to a progressive rock trio and get bolder and more intense on their instruments as they go along, culminating with the live Fillmore East performances from the third album. The annotation is reasonably thorough, and the whole package gives one a good overview of one of the groups that successfully bridged the gap from flower power to art rock, and in the process never forgot that the music was supposed to be fun as well. <i><span style="color: #3d85c6;">~ Bruce Eder, allmusic.com</span></i></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bOJMgjR3vZM/TnoRUCrNxjI/AAAAAAAAA7s/tsZmxxC8JJA/s1600/disc%2Bone%2Bcopy.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bOJMgjR3vZM/TnoRUCrNxjI/AAAAAAAAA7s/tsZmxxC8JJA/s400/disc%2Bone%2Bcopy.png" width="398" /></a></div><br /><div style="color: #ffd966;">01.

Formed at the beginning of 1969 by Victor Manuel Motta Aviles (drums and vocals), Guillermo Motta Avites (keyboards and guitar] and Omar Cortes Gavino (bass & vocals) accompanied in certain recording sessions by guest musicians: Mario Salazar Hernandez (keyboards and vocals) Antonio Salcedo (drums), and Eduardo “El Tortas” Bastida (speaker).<br /><br />Unlike their first phase, they decided to use a harder and protestant style. With an Acid Rock, sometimes with Latin accents, with lyrics in English and in Spanish like the rest of the Mexican groups used to do it at that their musical growth was evident. They produced five Extended, Plays (EP) one LP titled "Anarquismo" in 1976 and one cassette fitted "Antofcha 1965-1976" remembering their complete career period, They took charge of the distribution and promotion of their records everywhere in parties, ballrooms, radio broadcast and TV network presentations etc.<br /><br />Here we include all their EP songs and one from their 1976 cassette with no covers!: “Cancion No1”, “Amiga” and “Nada” from the first single; "Grass", "Going Down" and "El Jardin del Eden" from the second EP; "La Tierra" and “Crisalida” from their third EP: “Sodomaquina" (remembering the students slaughter in Tlaltelolco, 1968); "Inconclusa”, from the fourth EP "Bracero", "Quiero Vivir" and "Intento No. 2" from the fifth EP; and “Mira” from their sole cassette. In lata 1976 Antorcha disbanded and now the writer carries diverse creative and publishing activities.</span><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Artuto Alcantara G</span>.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">Review in Spanish by <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rubber Soul Music</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">Antorcha fue un grupo mexicano originario de la Ciudad de México formado en 1965 con el Nombre de "los Broken Souls" por Bernardo Minerva (Batería y voz), Jorge González (Guitarra líder y coros), Victor Manuel Motta (Teclados y coros) y Omar Cortés Gaviño (Bajo y coros), después en 1966 se les uniría Fernando Mercado (Guitarra rítmica y coros). Después de llamarse las Almas Rotas, pasaron a llamarse las Antorchas.<br /><br />Entre 1966 y 1968 grabaron mucho material (En su mayoría refritos, como muchas bandas lo hacían en ese entonces) el grupo grabó covers de bandas como the Yardbirds, the Who, the Animals, the Beatles, Vanilla Fudge y otros más, aunque nunca fueron publicados, solo publicaron un sencillo como "las Antorchas" en 1967 bajo el sello de orfeón, el grupo se sintió incomodo por no hacer canciones originales, y terminó por volverse un cuarteto independiente en 1969 y volvieron a cambiar de nombre por el de "Antorcha", y ahora cambiando su sonido Garage/Beat psicodélico, por un Rock Ácido contestario hacia el régimen represor de aquella época, y ahora con rolas originales, aunque con algunas letras en inglés, y gracias a sus letras anarquistas y críticas al gobierno, fueron vetados, el grupo logró lanzar varios Extended Plays entre 1969 y 1974, y un larga duración en 1976 bajo el título de "Anarquista", aunque todavía no se ha editado en disco compacto, pero se han logrado editar el primer material como las Antorchas, y esta recopilación de Extended Plays lanzados entre 1969 y 1974 bajo el sello Alemán de Shadoks music.</span><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IZXDnSJi6RI/TnmftaZ9EgI/AAAAAAAABvY/RENIDptkSDo/s1600/Disc-1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654726409671479810" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IZXDnSJi6RI/TnmftaZ9EgI/AAAAAAAABvY/RENIDptkSDo/s320/Disc-1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><span style="color: yellow; font-weight: bold;">Tracks</span><br /><span style="color: silver;">1.

All of these tracks were recorded by Beefheart and the 'Magic Band' in October/November 1967 and were intended for his second album, to be called Mirror Man. Naturally, though, they were sacked by the record company who sure didn't expect the guy to rev up in his ferocious eccentricity at such a high speed. Still later, in 1968, some of these tracks were patched up by a producer and released in far less 'offensive' form as the Cap'n's second official album, Strictly Personal (without Beefheart's consent either!).<br /><br />Still later, some of the original sessions were taken up and issued in 1975 as Mirror Man, presumably with the aim of restoring Beefheart's spoiled reputation after the two 'disastrously commercial' 1974 albums. Finally, still later, as late as 1999, the entire sessions, or at least, a major part of them, were salvaged and put together on one CD to form this disc. So naturally, this is the one album to have if you're interested in the progressing schizophrenia of Monsieur Coeur-de-Boeuf.</span><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;"><br />What's out here? Nine tracks, spread over 76 minutes - a stark contrast with the short near-minimalism of Trout Mask Replica. As the album progresses, the average running time of the tracks grows shorter, but the first four of them easily break the ten/twelve/fifteen minute barrier and run even further. And these aren't really complex progressive epics taking you in all possible directions; nope, these are lengthy sprawling blues jams, with two guitars, a harmonica and a mean old (er, young) bearded guy shouting out senseless lyrics about riding on tarotplanes and reformed candy corn.<br /><br />They are not even really 'defiant' as far as typical blues structures go. There's almost no dissonance, even if the guitars aren't exactly meant to easily coordinate with each other; there's a lot of memorable riffs all over the place, and there are no 'solos' in the traditional sense, if you don't count the harmonica.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">But dammit, I like this stuff. Now let me see, of course 19 minutes for something as stripped-down as 'Tarotplane' is is a bit TOO long, and the same goes for 'Mirror Man' and '25th Century Quaker'. But they certainly have an aura to them ('kiss my aura, Dora', as ol' Frank would say!), a strange aura of mystery and evilness that can't be transcribed all too well. It certainly has a lot of Beefheart's deconstructive mystification going on - essentially, like on TMR, they're playing this stuff to befuddle and confuse the listener, but it actually works better on here because there's no better way to befuddle and confuse the listener than to entice him with a musical form (generic blues) he thinks he knows too well and then suddenly transform it into a launchpad for something that eccentric.<br /><br />These lengthy jams are essentially grooves. What do we like about grooves? The rhythm. The energy. In a metaphoric sense, a groove is as good as a certain pattern of life. You take upon a groove in the same way as you go through a certain life experience, be it funny, brutal, or sad. And these grooves certainly have that 'pattern' approach to them - only where a typical blues jam can be associated with life as it is, a Beefheart groove should be associated with life as it could be.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">If I don't make myself clear, let me just remind you that this is a Captain Beefheart review. What did you expect, some Bay City Rollers algorhythm? If that's the case, I could remind you that '25th Century Quaker' possesses a first-rate slide guitar riff, with a strange Eastern flavor to it, and is thus fit for meditating to it. The best of all these lengthy tracks, though, is 'Kandy Korn', which begins almost as a pop song, with a funny vocal melody and an upbeat poppy bassline, but then goes into this lengthy and very jangly instrumental passage which is downright uplifting after all the subtle evil of the preceding three blues jams.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">Then there are five shorter songs which are all in the same vein (i.e., they could all be fifty minutes just as well). 'Safe As Milk', which never made it to the original album, certainly rules... what's that, something like a country-rocker crossed with hard rock patterns? Something like that, ending in a competition to determine the best 'string scraper' for miles around.<br /><br />'Beatle Bones 'N' Smokin' Stones' is supposedly a sneering attack on the meaningless 'psychedelic' lyrics of the Beatles and the Stones circa 1967, although the very idea of a rambling beatnik poet deriding a rambling psychedelic poet might seem kinda queer. At the best, it's WAY subtler and more 'polite' than Zappa's derision of the entire hippie counter-culture. You gotta love the Cap'n singing 'strawberry fields forever', too.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">'Moody Liz' and 'Gimme Dat Harp Boy' have their moments, too, and you know what? The mean old Cap'n knows how to attract your attention, because every now and then out of all the trippy jamming jumps out a little pretty riff, like you know, very pretty, the one you could have been waiting for all your life! Like on 'Moody Liz', at 2:15 into the song. And then it goes away and you're waiting for it to come back, and it does! It does!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">I'm gonna bring you to a conclusion now, because this review isn't really getting anywhere at all. You might want to know why the album earns a 9 when it sounds nothing like Safe As Milk and is universally deemed inferior to TMR. My irrational answer will be short and will go like this: "because it pleases my inner organs just as much as Safe As Milk and much more than TMR". My rational answer will not be much longer and will go like this: "because it still manages to preserve a good balance between accessible understandable music and eccentric weirdness". That said, you have to grow yourself some tolerance towards long unterminable blues jams. Maybe getting yourself some live Cream albums wouldn't be a bad idea.</span><br /><span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">by <span style="font-weight: bold;">George Starostin</span></span><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NziHrsbOPQA/TnzKdz6SUAI/AAAAAAAABxY/7yepsNm7UoI/s1600/Disc-1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655617845570195458" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NziHrsbOPQA/TnzKdz6SUAI/AAAAAAAABxY/7yepsNm7UoI/s320/Disc-1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/soJeD404bvw" width="420"></iframe><br /></div><br /><span style="color: yellow; font-weight: bold;">Tracks</span><br /><span style="color: silver;">1.

Mike got Bill Nelson in to record what was to be Northern Dream. This period saw the recording of Gygafo's Legend of the Kingfisher, Northern Dream, and the start of the Ode LP. Many local bands were recorded.

"Live! At The Spring Crater Celebration" was recorded originally in 1972, during the advent of a major shift to heavy metal with groups like Deep Purple and Black Sabbath.</span> <span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">Drake Levin (guitar), Jimmy McGhee (guitar), Joel Christie (bass), and Dale "Mule" Layola (drums) cranked out some high-octane psych-blues.</span> <span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">This entire recording is live and uncut with the exception of two minutes when the tape was turned over at the original recording. What we would consider today as an archaic method of recording a live gig becomes quite good under the careful eyes and ears of experienced engineers and producers. With the help of technological advancements and Akarma Records' precise care with the remastering process, and the colorful informative packaging, what you get is history given a chance to become reborn and relived.</span> <span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">This was good album when it was recorded, and it stands as an above average album now due to the previously mentioned enhancements. The last two songs "Soul" and "Soul Reprise" are real kickers. There are only six tracks, but keep in mind the first track "Farther Up The Road," a blues classic, runs for over nine minutes and Dave Mason's "Look At You Look At Me" for over ten minutes. So you get more than your share of quantity, quality and consistency on this release.</span> <span style="color: #ffcc66; font-style: italic;">Take a rock and roll revival trip to Hawaii for a day, be a hippie and enjoy the tunes.<br /><br /></span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-doNe58xfOT8/TnjZdTH2oMI/AAAAAAAACwI/p2Ut0Z5_4MI/s1600/Label.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654508429536305346" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-doNe58xfOT8/TnjZdTH2oMI/AAAAAAAACwI/p2Ut0Z5_4MI/s400/Label.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 399px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DO1vfqW-2s4/TnjZwJfWtOI/AAAAAAAACwQ/E9TDaWQhG50/s1600/poster%2Bsmall.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654508753368036578" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DO1vfqW-2s4/TnjZwJfWtOI/AAAAAAAACwQ/E9TDaWQhG50/s400/poster%2Bsmall.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 343px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eEVU0NBDhOQ" width="420"></iframe><br /><br /><span style="color: yellow; font-weight: bold;">Tracks Listing</span><br />01.

Mr. Larry Cleto's talk was similar to all the other basic financial planning seminars. It teaches you where you can place your money taking into consideration the risks and returns and availability of funds in each type. <br /><br />What I like about his talk is that he gave an overview of what it is about. His viewpoints seemed fair and reasonable and not inclined towards the life insurance side only. I agree with his approach because one of the reasons people are afraid of insurance is because of their pushy marketing technique. <br /><br /><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><b>Buti na lang Stories</b></span></u><br />Miss Isca Abaya showed us some buti na lang stories based on real life stories of:<br /><br />1.

They had a lot of questions from the speakers and the guests Dizon and Caracas. Although I was able to learn from the exchange of questions and answers from both sides, I think that insurance planning is better addressed on a one on one talk because each person or family has a different situations from another. </div><div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C984eAMFGAE/TnjcPFPITkI/AAAAAAAAB3g/k8HVa4HlRv8/s1600/crumpyliciousblog+%252815%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="philam usap tayo" border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C984eAMFGAE/TnjcPFPITkI/AAAAAAAAB3g/k8HVa4HlRv8/s200/crumpyliciousblog+%252815%2529.JPG" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">1k GC winner</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j849aZ85U5A/TnjcTOekTOI/AAAAAAAAB3k/6VAyu7XoHoA/s1600/crumpyliciousblog+%252816%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="philam usap tayo" border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j849aZ85U5A/TnjcTOekTOI/AAAAAAAAB3k/6VAyu7XoHoA/s200/crumpyliciousblog+%252816%2529.JPG" width="200" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">1k GC winner</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div>There was a short raffling of 1K worth of Gift Certificate from Philam life. As a token, we were given T-shirts and a notebook. It was too big for me though and it had a hole. </div><div><br /></div><div>Overall, the <b style="color: red;">Usap Tayo </b>event was successful. I learned that there are now various types of insurance offered. I'm actually interested to know more about it in the future perhaps three years from now when I already have a stable income. </div><div><br /></div><div>Based on my observation, a lot of us think of life insurance as a compensation upon the death of someone is the only kind of insurance. I came home that night excited to share with Kurt what I leanred but he got annoyed with me for thinking that he is ignorant for not knowing what an insurance is. What he did is the typical attitude of people with insurance. I'm not saying that I'm in favor of insurance. In fact, we are victims of CAP educational plan and other educational plans too. I just think that it is better to be open minded and evaluate first before we close our minds to something. <br /><br /><b style="color: red;">Usap Tayo</b>!<b style="color: red;"> </b> Perhaps you could share some insurance experience too so we could have more idea about it too.=)</div>Surviverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17610736357597816394noreply@blogger.com0
