Bond James Bond Music Part One
Dr. No Agent 007 first appeared on the big screen in 1962 in the movie “Dr. No”. One of my favorite Bond actors portrayed him – Sean Connery. In this movie Bond fought against the mysterious Dr. No who was a scientific genius bent on destroying the U.S. space program. Bond gets sent to tropical Jamaica where he encounters the first lovely Bond woman – Honey Ryder portrayed by Ursula Andress. The movie included the “James Bond Theme” played by John Barry and Orchestra.

Bond James Bond
Lots of people have been held rooted to their seats by the action packed movies which were all about a spy named James Bond. . The unforgettable character of James Bond 007 was created by writer Ian Fleming. Ian Fleming was an English author, journalist, and naval intelligence officer. He is best remembered for his James Bond series of novels. His first Bond novel was “Casino Royal” in 1952. This was followed by eleven more Bond novels and a two short-story collections. All of the novels were about James Bond, who was an officer in the Secret Intelligence Service that was known as M16. Bond was also known by his code number 007.

Thrilling Movies
I love movies that are suspenseful and scary but not those that have only blood and gore. I can handle Michael, Jason and Freddy but not for all time. I need nail biting terror that slowly builds. This is the same when it comes to reading novels which are a bit more psychological than actually frightening. For this reason I came across an article that tells about some of the great women authors who have written suspenseful novels and some of them have even been made into movies .

Here's Looking At You Kid
Ingrid Bergman is one of the many Old Hollywood actresses that I love and whose movies I could watch again and again. The interesting thing about Bergman is that she was born in Stockholm, Sweden, on August 29, 1915, and died of cancer in London, England, on August 29, 1982, which was her 67th birthday. Yes, you read that right, her birth and death dates are the same. I don't think I have previously known or heard of anybody who died on their birthday, but I know there must be some people at least. This legendary actress is best known for her incredible role as Ilsa Lund in the classic movie "Casablanca." The actress created quite a scandal in 1950 when she gave birth to the son of Italian director Roberto Rossellini, not having been married to him.

This is another of my all time favorite singers. Eric Carmen is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist. He had a number of hit songs in the 1970s and 1980s. He began singing as a member of the rock group The Raspberries. His solo hits include “All By Myself”, “Never Gonna Fall in Love Again”, ‘Hungry Eyes”, and “Make Me Lose Control”.

Haunted West Virginia
Ghost stories are just ghost stories. They can scare you and set your imagination dancing. However, ghost stories that are real are the most frightening of all because you know the places that the ghosts haunt and they just might be close-by.

The Joys of Christmas Food
The Yule Log This is a holiday cake called the Yule Log also known as the Christmas Log or Buche de Noel. This cake that is made at Christmastime dates back to the 19th century. At this time rolled sponge cakes filled with jam or cream and covered with butter cream icing began to be mentioned in European cookbooks. They were usually decorated with marzipan or meringue. The rolled shape of the cake was to remind one of a log and was typically covered with chocolate butter cream to look like the “bark of a tree”.

'Shall We Dance?'
The heading is the name of one of the movies I love the best that stars actor Richard Gere, who was born on August 31, 1949 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I know that if this handsome actor came forth and asked me, “Shall we dance?” I would be on my feet in a second. He has starred in such popular movies like Pretty Woman, An Officer and a Gentleman and Chicago. I know that Pretty Woman despite the prostitute story reminded me of a modern day Cinderella story, and by the end of the movie when the character Gere was portraying came after Julie Roberts’ character I was both crying and cheering. It’s a real feel good movie with a touch of comedy and romance.

'A Streetcar Named Desire'
This is for all those movie and literature fans who have read Tennessee Williams play A Streetcar Named Desire or who have seen the play or movie. My favorite version is on video and I have already watched it a dozen times at least. The movie came out in 1951 and starred Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh. It was interesting to watch Vivien Leigh as the aging Blanche because she was so clearly still in my mind as the young and vibrant Scarlett in Gone With the Wind. However since Blanche was supposedly a wilted Southern bloom then she could have just as well have been Scarlett in her sunset years.

House of the Rising Sun
Once there was a British rock band in the 1960s, who chose to call themselves The Animals. They are best known for their number one hit single ”The House of the Rising Sun” and other hit songs which included “We’ve Gotta Get Out of This Place”, “It’s My Life” and “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”. The band was simply fantastic and I’m sure there are many of you who have heard their number one hit single played many times as it became incredibly popular and is still played on the radio today.
