    Bill Moyers Journal: To Nationalize or Not To Nationalize... 12:56am
    Source: www.pbs.org
    In this week’s edition of the JOURNAL, Bill Moyers spoke with economist Robert Johnson about the precarious state of many banks in the U.S. and across the world. Johnson suggested that President Obama should take tough action on failing banks:
    There is no point in doing anything about a banking system that was not designed to work for the public good.The banks like the other enterprises that have intentionally misled the public should be allowed to fail.Hamilton told us that a system not based on something of value,like gold or silver is nothing more than a scam.Fiat money,and speculation,credt card s that the banks were betting people would miss payments on,allowing banks to raise the interest from 0% to 20% or more are nothing more than pools for the elite to exploit the common person.As P.T. Barnum Said,"There is a sucker born every minute."

    Biography:
    My friends,

    I am truly happy about an opportunity to share my work with you.

    I was born in a family of musicians and could not avoid musical education even if I wanted but soon appreciated the divine gift that my parents gave me. I have been surrounded by beautiful music from around the world all my life and the music standards for me were set very high. True music does not know time nor country borders. Be it Chopin or Chaikovsky, Beatles or Abba, Stevie Wonder or Elton John… these great names and the music that they created will live forever and the melodies that they brought into our life will always be evergreen and modern.

    The yardstick of a good composer's work is that the music must not leave you dispassionate. If the melody sticks into your head, if you want to listen to it again and again and sing it all day long, starting from the morning shower and then on the way to work and back to home, then composer deserves a word of encouragement.

    I don't have a preference to a particular music genre although I have some favorite styles in which I like to work which are pop, Latin, lounge and jazz… As any clothes looks great on a beautiful woman as melody can take on different clothes but everyone knows if there is a beauty underneath…

    I was honored to work with some of the best musicians of our time including Grammy award winner and the founder of Cuba's well-known band "Irakere" Chucho Valdes, a world-renowned Brazilian composer also a Grammy winner Joao Donato, a top singer in today's Brazil Emilio Santiago, foremost singers of Brazilian bossa nova Leny Andrade and Wanda Sa, Carlos El Rumbero a singer from world known group Gypsy Kings, a great guitar player from Russia Roman Miroshnichenko, a talented pianist Michael Link and many others… And I am also very grateful to my partners working with me on arrangements of the melodies, first of all, a talented songwriter Andy Paley from LA and a very gifted arranger Sergey Erokhin.

    I will be happy to stay in touch and to update you on new compositions that I will add to my site.

    Yours,

    Oleg Tumanov

    Top Latin Stars combine forces in a unique project that bears the title of RIO HAVANA!




    Sensual, romantic and vibrant bossa nova-inflected album comprises the soulfulness of both Brazilian and Cuban musical accents. The spellbinding melodies will captivate your heart and mind. A must-have gem in your collection!




    Some of the greatest names in contemporary Latin music took part in the creation of "Rio Havana". Among them were Grammy award winner piano virtuoso, the founder of one of Cuba's well-known Latin jazz bands "Irakere" Chucho Valdes, a world-renowned Brazilian composer and truly a godfather of the bossa nova school of jazz, Grammy winner Joao Donato. Emilio Santiago who ranks among the top singers in Brazil, Leny Andrade, a foremost singer of Brazilian jazz and bossa nova and Wanda Sa with her enchanting velvet voice are both yet another contributors to perform Oleg Tumanov's music.




    Be it either Chucho Valdes performing "Latin Romance", Wanda Sa with her soul-soothing "Vestido de rei", Emilio Santiago spicing things up in "Copacabana" and others, every single one of them adds his/her own zing to the project.







    "Rio Havana" is the album you will enjoy listening to over and over again!

    Easy Does IT
    The Jeff Jones Show Episode #1 Available on itunes,podbean,CD Baby,jeffness711.com
    This is one of the finest musical efforts I have heard from any independent artist in over 40 years. Easy does it does it for me. This production has been recorded and mastered to the highest standards available with today's technology. Tim's mellow voice puts me in mind of the great male vocalists of who have given renditions of the great American songbook. Listen for just a minute and you hear the influences of the musical standard bearers that shaped Tim's own original approach to Jazz and pop standards. The choice of tunes gives the album a unique credibility seldom achieved by today's artists. Rich orchestrations played in an impeccable manner support Tim's rich full tone as he glides effortlessly over some of the most demanding charts ever written by our finest composers. Songs such as; Midnight Sun , Don't Misunderstand , and Angel Eyes bring back memories of a time when vocalists spoke to the heart of life with style and grace. I highly recommend this very attractive album.

  • New Album &The; House of jeffness

     HELLO, MY FRIENDS,

    I added two more compositions to the album "In Instrumental Mood", called "Investigation" and "My Paris" http://olegtumanov.com/main/music?album=2" title="http://olegtumanov.com/main/music?album=2" target="_blank"http://olegtumanov.com/main/m...
     Both are French-chanson types of music. The first one is a foxtrot and the second is a jazzy waltz.
    I have several songs of this kind already. Maybe, one day it will be a separate French album with a voice.
    All the best,
    Oleg

    Powerfull Free Small Business Directory  &  Social Media Hybrid Delivers Results!

    Hyperlocal business directory MerchantCircle has been steadily growing as an online network and business directory for merchants in smaller towns to advertise to consumers. MerchantCircle has long targeted its site's features towards merchants versus catering towards the consumer, as sites like Yelp and CitySearch do. Today, the startup has launched two features to appeal to the consumer side, Neighbors and Answers.

    MerchantCircle creates and manages profile pages for small businesses, and it says it has built a sizable user base and reached profitability earlier this year.. Now it's trying to offer those businesses more ways to attract customers online, with new services called MerchantCircle Answers and MerchantCircle Neighbors.
