During the month of August, Movies Broadway Singers and Beyond will pay tribute to many artists and musicians from the 60s and the 70s.  The music of this time was the music of The Beach Boys, The Beatles, and all the way through disco. It was also the time of women singers and writers like Joni Mitchell and Carole King. …

My next show will showcase songs from movies. Not soundtracks, but songs like Moon River, Charade, A Summer Place and several dozen others that perhaps you haven’t heard.

Those voices, and those songs. Well, I had the most wonderful time preparing these shows, listening to this wonderful music from these talented artists, composers and lyricists.

Moonlight always feels right to me because I am a night person. When the sun goes down, I go up. The best part of my day is night. In my art room, my spirits soar while listening to this music. So, on the next Sherry’s Cherries, we are going a little “beyond” into the world of light rock of the …

Way back . . . when I was a child I fell in love with TV themes. Wagon Train was on every Wednesday night and I so looked forward to the show and the theme song.
