Review This!: A Knight in Shining Armor ~ A Romantic Book Review (REBLOG)

Reblogging a post link for Review This! because Jude Deveraux is one of my favorite historical romance novelists (although not all of her romance books are historical); plus I'm a sucker for stories about knights. :)

JAZZ : World Music, Made in the U.S.A.

I heart trivia and jazz :)

DID YOU KNOW? “In 1912, the first use of the word “jazz” was in print in California, but it was not a description of the music.” So what was it describing and how did it get connected to this musical art form that people all around the world enjoy today?

Mark Your Calendars | Harlem Fine Arts Show Launches in Atlanta, Georgia : JUNE 26-29, 2014

BLACK ART IN AMERICA is happy to announce a major upcoming event in the art world:

The 2014 Harlem Fine Arts Show

The Harlem Fine Arts Show is in its fifth year. It has become an annual cultural event and this summer, HFAS will continue with its four-city* tour in Atlanta, Georgia.
*(Four cities: Harlem/New York, White Plains, Atlanta and Martha's Vineyard.)

HFAS Founder Dion Clarke says, “After ringing in opening bell on the New York Stock Exchange at the opening of the 2013 show, we are now ringing the bell for Americans of all persuasions to come and partake of what can only be described as a feast for the eyes and nourishment for the soul.”

Sound likes a great plan Mr. Clarke and I am more than happy to sound off about this show here at My Blog Stop!

For those interested, the tour in Atlanta is scheduled for June 26-29 in partnership with the National Black Arts Festival. Talent of several Atlanta-based artists will be showcased and much much more during this exciting week of festivities.
