PROBLEM: I've been a longtime fan of Mercedes and own most of her Valdemar series. So, of course, I picked this book up at my local store. After wrestling through 50 pages, I gave up! I plan to sell it back to my local store ASAP- this is nothing better than a paperweight in my bookshelves. The worst part is, my boyfriend picked it up and tried reading it. Now he thinks that this is a good example of her work!

SOLUTION: Negative

PROBLEM: I wish I could give this more then 5 stars. This concert tour was Tina's best concert. I almost did not buy this because I own this on video. When I recevied it, to my surprise, the DVD has four extra songs on it then the video. The songs are "Wildest Dreams" "Let's Stay Together" "Something Beautiful Remains" and "Better Be Good To Me" If anyone caught Tina on this tour, here is your chance to own the "complete" concert for ever!

SOLUTION: Positive

PROBLEM: Harry Bradley, originally from Belfast, has mastered the "dirty" style of Irish flute playing, where the player plays with a pulsing breath that pushes the lower octave notes to get a very distinctive tone. If you listen to Irish Flute music, you don't need me to tell you who Harry Bradley is. If you've never heard Irish flute music before, this is a great cd to start with (every Irish flute player has or belongs to a distinctive style; you can try Matt Malloy and Kevin Crawford for others). Look also for Harry's flute duet cd with Michael Clarkson, "The Pleasures of Hope"(great stuff) and his other album "Bad Turns and Horseshoe Bends" is also excellent. I think you can download an mp3 to see if you like it; I recommend "Miss Thornton's/The Primrose Lasses", the third track on the cd which is a great set of tunes that also demonstrate the Belfast/dirty style of playing.

SOLUTION:
Positive
