From the opening bars of music from the film, Jaws, you know the shark is nearby and there is very little time left. Many of my friends have husbands who love action and adventure films.

Sherry’s Cherries: From Cherry Blossom to Neverland
When my daughter was a baby, I used to put melodic music on each night when I tucked her in. She absolutely loved bedtime. Today she plays three instruments and is in two orchestras. The music on my next Sherry’s Cherries pays tribute to “the melody.” Beautiful melodies can be calming, peaceful, or lift the spirit. As a child my ... Read More »
Sherry’s Cherries: Pure Imagination
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.

George Duning: Master Of The Sensual
When I want a piece of music, I will search high and low for it. Tapes, albums, whatever I can find. Several years back, I saw a movie called Strangers When We Meet. It was made in 1960 and I don’t believe it was a favorite of either star, Kim Novak and Kirk Douglas. Today it would be called a ... Read More »
Movie Extravaganza Part Three
When I was very young I saw the movie, Tom Jones, which introduced the world to a young Albert Finney.

At some point I was made ... Read More »
