The Amos 'n' Andy Show, Collection 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 325min
Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll made their radio debut January 12, 1926, as the comedic, blackface characters Sam 'n' Henry. On March 19, 1928 they introduced Amos 'n' Andy, which went on to become one of the most popular and longest running programs in radio history. During the height of its popularity, almost the entire country listened to the 15-minute, Monday through Friday adventures of Amos 'n' Andy. Department stores open in the evening piped in the broadcasts so shoppers wouldn't miss an episode; movie theaters scheduled their features to end just prior to the start of Amos 'n' Andy so they too could pipe it in. The characters were members of The Mystic Knights of the Sea Lodge, of which George Stevens was "The Kingfish". Amos and Andy ran the Fresh-Air Taxi Company, with the more stable, married Amos doing most of the work while Andy chased girls. One of the best-remembered sequences was the time Andy almost married Madame Queen. In 1943, after 4,091 quarter-hour episodes, it switched to a half-hour weekly comedy. While the five-a-week show often had a quiet, easygoing feeling, the new version was a brassy Hollywood-style production, complete with studio audience, full cast of supporting actors and full orchestra. Many of the half-hour programs were written by Joe Connelly and Bob Mosher, later the writing team for Leave It to Beaver and The Munsters. In the new version, Amos became a minor character to the more dominant Andy and Kingfish duo. 2/2/45 Breach of Promise 2/9/45 Phony Soldier 2/16/45 Insulting Valentine 2/23/45 Jealous of Floyd Wilson 3/2/45 Income Tax Pt. 1 3/9/45 Income Tax Pt. 2 3/16/45 Lecture Bureau 3/23/45 Prentice Clothing Company 3/30/45 French Hat Designers at Easter 4/6/45 Andy Moves in with the Kingfish 4/20/45 Dead Body in the Trunk 4/27/45 Married or Not Married? ungekürzt.

In her highly anticipated new book, brassy and beloved medium Theresa Caputo, star of the hit television show Long Island Medium, opens the door to her world and invites us to experience her exceptional gift of communicating with those who've crossed over to The Other Side. The always funny, frank, and down-to-earth medium began communicating with Spirit at the age of four, but didn't fully accept her gift until she was 33 years old. She had a good life as a busy wife and mom, but also suffered from chronic anxiety that came from ignoring her unique abilities. Once Theresa began channeling, she discovered that she felt much better after delivering a message from Spirit and releasing that energy. Since then she's used her extraordinary gift to help countless people heal from the loss of their loved ones. Theresa makes us all aware that there is more to life than what we see here in the physical world. She wants you to know that our deceased loved ones are safe and at peace assisting us from The Other Side.

There's More to Life than This explains how Theresa's mediumship works, what happens to our soul when we die, what Heaven is like, what the deceased want us to know, the importance of living a positive life, and the many roles that our family, friends, angels, guides, and God play here and in the afterlife.

Natural Selection
Joannamelas.com Infusing smooth jazz with latin, pop, funk and soul and influenced by her gospel music background, talented singer-songwriter-entertainer, Joanna Melas, has now released her debut album 'A Natural Selection' featuring her three new originals, 'Danca Da Chuva', 'We Had No Cares' and 'Such As These' plus seven cleverly arranged covers. The variety of tunes alone on this album will convince anyone of her ability to adapt. From the dance floor of 'Danca Da Chuva' and 'We Had No Cares' (originals by Joanna) to the smoky jazz club in 'The Look of Love', to the hauntingly beautiful spiritual folk tune 'Such as These' (another original by Joanna), the heart stopping brassy shuffle of 'Fly Too High' and the straight blues/rock of 'First We Take Manhattan' - Joanna eases through this 'A Natural Selection' with poise and flair. With a beautiful blend of passion, excitement and technical brilliance her rich soulful voice soars effortlessly over complex and mature arrangements transporting you from one song to the next on a journey of musical landscapes. If this first offering is anything to go by, buyers will be eagerly awaiting any future recording by Joanna Melas. Having cultivated a successful career as an accomplished singer and entertainer, one of the busiest on the Sydney circuit, Joanna arrived at the recording studio with plans to release an album of the covers most requested at her gigs. However working on the album unleashed the songwriter within and Joanna revisited some of her earlier compositions, including Such As These. Creative energies taking over, she was inspired to write again and Joanna wrote Danca da Chuva and We Had No Cares. Recording took place over three months, with around 113 hours spent at Style Music Studios in The Hunter Valley. Programming and mixing by the very gifted Phil Tweed. Guitars were played by Phil Tweed, Dieter Kleemann and Joanna Melas. Phil also played piano, keys, bass, drums and percussion. Craig Walters was on tenor saxaphone, Stewart Kirwan on muted trumpet and flugelhorn, Leigh Sherringham on trombone. Each track was co-produced and co-arranged by Joanna and Phil and then mastered by Oscar Gaona at Studios 301 in Sydney. Zack Daggy (Music Journalist) writes: "Joanna Melas is a singer with a voice that is made for the stage. Her album A Natural Selection features an eclectic collection of stage favorites and originals. The sounds range from Latin beats to a sweet serenades, from reggae rhythms to sultry blues. There is something for everyone on this album. It is a vacation for the ears. First and foremost, Melas's voice is utterly amazing. With her cover of the song "Love Letters," her vocals are as smooth as velvet. It's sexy, it's sultry and most of all it's captivating. Melas radiates with charisma. To be a great singer on stage, it takes more than just hitting all the right notes. To use a cliché, you have to have "it," and Melas definitely has it! Just give one listening to her original song "We Had No Cares" and you will see. It's Latin flair and Melas's rich vocals complement each other beautifully. It has the perfect blend of relaxing melodies and energizing rhythms. Her song "Danca Da Chuva" could very well be described the same. Melas seems the most in her element when singing songs that are rich with a Latin influence. In fact, Melas at times sounds quite a bit like Gloria Estefan. She has the same instant likability. She is a star in the making. Since the majority of this album is cover songs, arrangement is everything. While most of the songs remain relatively close to their classic arrangements, it is the bold compositions that truly stand out. In particular, Melas's reggae version of the Frankie Valli classic "Can't Take My Eyes Off You," comes off as sublime. The reggae influence adds an interesting island vibe to the song. This in turn establishes an immensely romantic and intimate connection with the listener. Indeed, if there is one emotion that A Natural Selection exudes, it is romance. Tracks like "The Look Of Love" and "Love Letters" are perfect for sitting in front of a fireplace and sipping wine with that special someone. Joanna Melas is the sound of love. Perhaps the only disappointment with A Natural Selection is that there is far too many cover songs on this album. Melas does an excellent job with performing every one of these covers, but it feels like she has so much more to offer. Her original tracks "Danca Da Chuva" and "We Had No Cares" are by far the best tracks on this album... Tracks like "Break In The Weather" feature a soulful and thoroughly enjoyable saxophone solo. Others like "First We Take Manhattan" showcase some extraordinary blues guitar riffs. There is no denying that this album features some stunning instrumentation... A Natural Selection is a solid album with songs of romance and pure emotion. Joanna Melas has a smooth yet powerful voice that demands attention... this is an album worth checking out." Matthew Warnock (Music Journalist) writes: Artists such as Sade, Sting and Michael Bolton are great examples of musicians who choose to bring multiple musical styles and backgrounds together, producing a sound that was unique and that had a broader appeal than some of their more specifically focused contemporaries. Australian vocalist and songwriter-arranger Joanna Melas is an artist that firmly fits into this second category of performer, and her album A Natural Selection, is a collection of pop, jazz, Latin and R&B influenced songs that blur the lines of musical genre, while at the same time maintaining a strong sense of musicality and high level of performance that connects each distinctive musical output. The album contains three original compositions and seven covers of well-known pop and jazz songs arranged by Melas and her musical partner Phil Tweed. The originals are well-written, and each contains a distinctive sound that brings to light different aspects of Melas' musical tastes. "Danca Da Chuva," which means "Rain Dance" in Portuguese, contains Latin inspired beats and a soft, joyful melody line that outlines the song's lyrics in a way that is both engaging and enjoyable at the same time. The verse sections will remind listeners of the Columbian songstress Shakira, though when the chorus breaks in, the smoothness of the vocal line is purely Melas. This is the reason the song is successful, and the album as a whole, that Melas is able to bring an element of the familiar to her music, while injecting enough personality to make the album stand out among the crowded musical marketplace. The next original composition is "We Had No Cares," which is also Latin influenced, but this time with a quasi-Montuno beat that reminds one of a Cuban beach on a hot summer's day. The hand percussion also adds an extra level of musical interest that raises the song from a typical Latin work to a song that stands on it's own two feet. As well, "Such as These," contains more of a pop vibe, with some enchanting vocal harmonies that really enhance the listener's experience of this piece. The song could have easily been solid without the added voices, but by added the extra thickness to the ends of certain phrases, the melody and lyrics really spring to life, something that one will appreciate, that extra musical mile that makes all the difference with a song such as this. Besides the original compositions, the album contains creative and enjoyable versions of pop and jazz standards such as "First We Take Manhattan," "The Look of Love" and "For All We know." As with the originals, Melas and Tweed inject their musical personalities into each arrangement, justifying their song choices and providing a new listening experience for people who are familiar with this 20th century classics. Overall, A Natural Selection is a strong effort from Melas, one that blends tradition with her own personality in an enjoyable mixture of new and old that can appeal to a broad range of musi- Shop: odax

It's Ok to Be Confused
Transistor radios pressed up against our ears, we listened to the British Invasion, San Francisco pyschedelic, Motown and brassy polished pop. Hollies, Who, Kinks, Stones, Beattles, Supremes, Rascals, Yardbirds, Sly Stone, Four Tops, Electric Prunes, 13th Floor Elevator, Doors, Animals, Turtles, Mamas and Pappas, Lovin' Spoonful, and the great guitar gods with their thunderous, bell-like tones and brilliant articulation. What a great time. Then FM arrived. Stereo was born. Long Playing records! The sound barrier was broken time and time again. Later: fusion, funk. Jaco, Holdsworth, George Duke. And so many others -- but that's the short list. These sounds, these hooks -- they echo in our brains -- etched into our cortexes like primal imprints waiting to be fired up with fresh chords in recognition. Then, adult life -- raising a family, throwing yourself at a career, shelter, loans -- the whole 9 yards. You put music on a shelf. Literally, your flute collects a 1/2 inch of dust. Your equipment turns into a collection of museum pieces, and you wonder if you still have it. But then the kids grow up and you see the light of day, and muster just enough energy to find new music buddies, testing their patience with your fumbling fingers and faltering falsetto, until -- after 5 years -- it's all sounding pretty good again. And DIFFERENT. A bit deeper -- not just the voice, but the lyrics and the melodies. The rhythms are more interesting. The phrasing is extended. The whole thing just rocks fresh reflecting our life and times.- Shop: odax

Houswife
Debut album review from Bob Ham of Willamette Week: "The first album by Houswife-a self-titled, self-released affair, recorded at home and at Jackpot! Studios in 2010-is an impressively assured work for someone who is just now dipping her toes into the music scene of her Portland hometown. Some of the delay for the 31-year-old artist was the ever-evolving composition process, which had her tucked away in the studio for the last few years. The result of that process is songs that are heady and tuneful, pop music that doesn't follow your typical pop structures but sticks with you long after the song ends. Her sound bears the mark of the music that inspired Parker to start playing music as a child. The delicate and insistent sound of the piano comes equally from her love of the work of Mozart and Rachmaninoff, the circuitous swirl of her guitar playing inspired by folk artists like Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan. You can hear the imprint of modern indie rock on these songs, as well. "Let The Walls" echoes with the ghostly pull of artists like Cat Power and PJ Harvey, and "Cutting Cords" aching like the best moments of Bill Callahan. Add to it, a vocal style that gives a tangy, brassy edge to lyrics that closely examine the intricacies of life from both a personal and a universal angle. This sharp musicianship highlights songs that are equal parts measured and thoughtful, playful and blithe. Like all the best albums, the more time you devote to the first full-length by Houswife, the more you will get out of it, and it becomes obvious that Parker is going to quickly establish herself comfortably amid the pantheon of talent in the Rose City." - Robert Ham, WW.- Shop: odax
