So inspired today by Barbara Tucker’s interactions with her fans on Facebook which she does on a regular basis, your dj must now share her music for the unfamiliar. Her song “Beautiful People” has sent me on many inward journeys and “I Get Lifted” is an instant pick-me-up to my soul; however, now she is sharing her uplifting words on her Facebook page and it is truly a blessing. Most of the time Barbara Tucker is in rotation in Funk Sanctum Radio and do not expect that to change. Every time I hear her, she takes me higher and lifts me immediately. Better than prescription medication, the antidote for a dreary day or oppressive surroundings, Barbara Tucker will make you feel better and maybe help put life into perspective. Life is hard, but Barbara Tucker’s voice makes it easier to do “hard.”

Alexa Lowering Blog-Hops
Yay, it's Friday!
Happy Friday.
Trying to hook up with this Alexa hop as it is my favorite, but as you can see the graphic for her Badge is not showing correctly. So, tried a different tool to link to this hop and it works.

Office Etiquette -- My Conundrum
This post is my therapy for today and maybe will not get published, but I feel the need to write and sort my feelings because of recent extreme rude behavior of my co-workers thereby temporarily putting aside my promise to keep this blog focus on positive topics as there already is enough negativity amplified in our world.
My profession is typist/word processor and I am a world-class typist. It is my God-given talent and gift, and I am grateful. However, the world does not look upon my talent with any particular favor not to mention pay-wise. I do not get any respect from most of my coworkers and I recognize this as ignorance, jealousy and hate, but how do I cope on a daily basis? Today I am writing about it.

Nina Simone and Other Sisters of the 50s -- The Essential Collection
New Music Monday,
Surprise! There was a release 7/10/2011 of "Nina Simone and Other Sisters of the 50s . . . The Essential Collection" --
How do they manage to do that? Who is receiving the royalties for this re-release? I have all these Ninas already, but I guess it would be important if you had none of them. $11.99 for a 3-CD set. If the recording is half-good, this is the deal of the century. You know I love Nina Simone, and cannot not pass up the opportunity to have her picture here on In-Box Jewels whenever the opportunity arises.
Nina Simone
"Solitaire" (mp3)
from "Nina Simone & Other Sisters Of The 1950s: The Absolutely Essential Collection"
(Big 3)
More On This Album
The tracklisting is ominous -- 55 tracks -- 3 CD set! 35 songs by Nina and also included are a sprinkling of Billie, Etta, Ella, Dinah, Sarah, Ruth (Brown) – no Carmen. If anyone is so bold as to buy this, please let me know how you like it and the quality of the recording. Share some love today.
Love,
Me

I must comment on Draft Blogger's great new look. Do you use Blogger and what do you think about the look? I just discovered that my Zemanta is gone as well as Amazon suggestions. Does anyone have any suggestions how to get these back with the updated interface?
