About Jazz
The history of jazz music origins is usually attributed to the turn of the century New Orleans. There are so many styles of jazz from bepop, hot jazz to classic jazz. My personal favorites have always been the smoky, sexy tunes from Louis Armstrong, Billy Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, Diane Washington, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker..very romantic. The saxophones and piano..the natural good feeling comes from inside you

LIBRAS as a ZODIAC SIGN (Sept 23 to Oct 23):
Librans are first and foremost focused on others and how they relate to them. We can call this the Sign of partnership with a capital ‘P’ because these folks do not want to be alone! For a Libran, everything is better if it’s done as a pair. Librans are good when paired up, too, since they epitomize balance, harmony and a sense of fair play. While they are true team players at work, their favorite partnership is at home: marriage. Librans feel most complete when they are coupled up with their lover, forever.

It’s the Scales which symbolize Libra, and just like that balancing mechanism wants to stay even, Librans want to be on an even keel. Think of the Scales of Justice and how they work at striking the right balance. Likewise, Librans are objective, just and want to do what’s best for everyone. It’s possible, though, that this penchant for fairness is for a different reason: Librans abhor conflict. The Scales study every possible angle in the hopes of achieving peace and harmony, so much so that others may see them as fickle and indecisive. If that’s what it takes to avoid a confrontation, that’s fine with the Scales. The Libra-born are keen strategists, organizing groups with poise and getting the job done (in keeping with the Cardinal Quality assigned to this Sign). Further, you can expect the Scales to be companionable, sociable folks.
