Vintage Wine Performance By BOMV Writer

Students at Maple Valley's Voice Of The Valley music school, performed at Vintage Wine and Coffee in the Four Corners area Thursday, May 14th

I have been taking singing lessons at the school and was one of the performers.

I wasn't able to post the video because of technical issues (perhaps copyright), so I'm posting the program.

I was last is 29 performers, I sang Sinatra's Fly Me To The Moon.

Deb and some of our friends were there, as well as my teachers.

It was a lot of fun.

Fly Me To The Moon

 Yesterday marked the 28th anniversary of Frank Sinatra's death.  This was also the theme to Wall Street.  

By coincidence, I also sang this last night at the Vintage Wine and Coffee bar here in Maple Valley, as student of the Voice Of The Valley music school did a recital there.  There is a video of my performance, but it wouldn't post because of copyright issues. 

Claudine Longet Dies

 Claudine Longet, the French singer who gained notoriety as first the wife of popular singer Andy Williams and later killer of her lover, famous skier, Spider Sabich, has died. 

The beautiful Longet, was a fixture on the Williams Christmas specials with their children until her divorce from the singer in 1975.

The trial of her shooting of Savich at their Colorado home in 1976 attracted national attention. Longet was convicted of criminally negligent homicide. This sparked outrage as it was felt that her celebrity shielded from a murder charge.  

Longet was 84 years old. 

Linda Ronstadt And Bobby Darin--Long Long Time

Another song from a variety show of the 70s. I got this idea from a post I did on Facebook several years ago.

Linda Ronstadt, along with the late Bobby Darin, singing, perhaps, her most heartwrenching song.

Super Bowl Quarterback Craig Morton

 Another great quarterback from the late 60s, early 70s has passed away, Craig Morton, who guided the Dallas Cowboys to the team's first Super Bowl appearance, then years later guided the Denver Broncos to it's first Super Bowl, died May 9th. 

Morton played 18 years in the NFL.  

The Brandi Stage

Located at Wilderness Village. It's a reminder of Brandi Carlile's contributions to our town.

Happy Mothers Day
