Ray Conniff Improvisations My father must have really loved the music of Ray Conniff. This is the sixth of eight albums from this arranger and orchestra leader in my dad's collection. This one has a bit of a twist to it. No. Not the dance. While the title of the album makes it seem like it will be a live album, that is not the nature of the concert here. Several of the songs you hear will be improvisations or interpretations of some pretty popular melodies from throughout time. So, get ready to hear those lush strings paired with those lyric-less vocals in Volume 247: A Conniff Concert. For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.  Credits and copyrights Ray Conniff His Orchestra And Chorus* – Concert In Rhythm Volume II Label: Columbia – CL 1415 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Mono Released: 1960 Genre: Jazz, Classical Style: Listening We will hear 7 of the 12 songs on this album.

#390 - Trova la Tua VoceDetesto profondamente i contenuti generati dall'IA. Non perché siano scritti male, superficiali, non credibili o dilettanteschi. Al contrario. Sono fin troppo buoni. Ma non hanno “sensazione”, non hanno “carattere” né “emozione” che mi portino dentro. Sono solo troppo perfetti, troppo levigati e troppo distaccati per farmi sentire che siano scritti da qualcuno di cui potrei fidarmi.Quando ho provato a usare l'IA per migliorare o ottimizzare ciò che avevo scritto, mi sono trovato spiazzato. Sì, era scritto meglio, più strutturato, più focalizzato, ma rileggendolo e rileggendolo ancora non riuscivo a riconoscermi.E quindi la domanda è: se non sono uno scrittore nato e se nella mia vita ho scritto troppo poco per sviluppare un mio stile unico, come posso farlo adesso? È persino possibile?Per la mia esperienza — e scrivo online dal 2000 — l'unico modo è esercitare il muscolo, giorno dopo giorno. Come nello sport o nell'arte, che sia pittura o boxe, sviluppi il tuo stile praticando molto.All'inizio fai quello che ti insegnano i maestri. Poi, migliorando, inizi a copiare ed emulare quelli che ti ispirano. Solo allora uno stile davvero riconoscibile comincia a emergere, mentre ricombini e spingi i confini di ciò che hai fatto tuo.Non serve che passino anni, ma serve che tu sia disposto a tornarci su molte volte, anche solo per brevi momenti.La parola chiave qui è: frequenza.Lo stile emerge dall'esposizione prolungata e dall'interazione con qualcosa di specifico. Non forzandolo, né chiedendo all'IA di crearlo.Puoi insegnare all'IA a usare il tuo stile solo dopo che lo hai sviluppato. Non il contrario.Non perché l'IA rifiuti, ma perché lo stile, come il gusto, è qualcosa di personale che nasce da esposizione e interazione.Uno stile può essere calcolato, ma non sarà mai il tuo stile. Sarà una facciata, senza alcuna corrispondenza con il tuo modo naturale di esprimerti o di scrivere senza assistenza.Non sabotarti da solo.Se chiedi all'IA di scrivere per te prima di aver sviluppato uno stile e una voce tua, distruggi la ragione stessa per cui volevi avere uno stile personale:a) Essere autenticob) Essere unicoc) Essere riconoscibileQuindi, se vuoi davvero diventare qualcuno che sa comunicare online con la propria voce e il proprio stile, inizia subito. Scrivi. Non importa il tema, la lunghezza o l'umore del momento. Quello che conta è la frequenza. Più scrivi, meglio è. Più scrivi, prima emergerà._______________Info Utili• Sostieni questo podcast:Entra in contatto con me, ottieni feedback, ricevi consigli sul tuo progetto onlinehttps://Patreon.com/Robin_Good•  Musica di questa puntata:"Bittersweet" by baaskaT disponibile su Soundcloud•  Nella foto di copertina:Mamma Chiara e Leonardo.

Have you ever felt that gut-wrenching mix of sadness and pride when your favorite performer announces they're leaving their group? That complex emotional rollercoaster is exactly what I'm unpacking in this special solo episode.The Japanese idol industry has a beautiful way of framing member departures - not as endings but as "graduations." This perspective transforms what could be seen as loss into a celebration of growth and new beginnings. When a familiar face moves on from their group to pursue acting, modeling, or another passion, it creates ripples throughout both the group dynamic and the fan community. The chemistry shifts, the sound evolves, and we're all left navigating this new reality together.As both a media personality and a dedicated fan, I've experienced this transition from multiple angles. I've seen how social media platforms light up with tribute videos and farewell messages, how concerts become emotional gatherings where memories are cherished and hopes for the future take root. These shared experiences bind fan communities together in a uniquely powerful way. We learn to hold both nostalgia and anticipation simultaneously - honoring what was while embracing what might be. Because ultimately, these transitions remind us that our idols are real people growing and changing just like us. Their stories continue to unfold, just in different ways than before.Whether you're currently processing a favorite member's departure or simply curious about the emotional landscape of fan culture, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this universal experience.

✦ The five main food groups that are important for anyone's diet include—fruits, vegetables, protein, grains, and chocolate…okay, maybe not the last one. However, it remains an essential building block of a balanced diet. A new exhibition at the Museum of Design Atlanta, also known as MODA, explores the origins of chocolate, its evolution into a global commodity, and the designs of some of the most popular chocolate brands we know today. WABE arts reporter Summer Evans visited MODA to check out this delicious exhibition. ✦ City Lights Collective members Jasmine Hentschel and EC Flamming, the creatives behind Atlanta's visual art print magazine, "GULCH", want you to get out and engage with the city's art scene. Each week they spotlight five standout happenings, and today their mix includes: a glimpse into Taino ancestry through a talk at the ArtsXChange in East Point, as well as the Georgia State's Art School faculty showcase that happens only once every three years, and one of Southern Fried Queer Pride's ever-popular figure drawing sessions. ✦ When City Lights Collective co-host Jon Goode was told that High Bias is a good thing, he wasn't entirely sure what that meant. So, he decided to go to Block and Drum on a Wednesday night to find out for himself. ✦ City Lights Collective member and award-winning Atlanta comedian Joel Byars is one of the hardest-working people in the business. Aside from his podcast, "Hot Breath Pod," he hosts many comedy events around town, and now, he joins us weekly to share his picks for this week's must-see comedy. ✦ A new park in metro Atlanta is set to honor the legendary Black folk artist, Nellie Mae Rowe. WABE arts reporter Summer Evans has the details. ✦ After over three decades on Atlanta walls, streets, stickers, wheatpastes, and flyers, the iconic art of R. Land is now on view at Atlanta Contemporary through September 7th. His work, like "Pray for ATL" and "Loss Cat," has previously been preserved for posterity at the Atlanta History Center and the Georgia State Capitol. Still, those pieces only represent a fraction of his artistic career.

 “What would you do if you saw a 20-foot python on top of a dumpster?” In this wild and wonderfully weird episode of The Sandy Show, Sandy and Tricia take listeners on a rollercoaster of bizarre news, personal confessions, and entrepreneurial envy. From a snake sighting in a Los Angeles parking garage to a 15-year-old millionaire who invented a card game at age seven, this episode is packed with surprises. Tricia shares her childhood trauma involving a dead scorpion in a pool corner—forever dubbed “Scorpion Corner”—and her failed attempt to tame a stray dog known only as “Mama Dog.” Then, she dives into a story that stings: a kid who created the game Taco vs. Burrito and sold it for millions. Cue Tricia's frustration over her own shelved invention, the “milk bottle game.” The show also features a rapid-fire Q&A with Tricia, covering hidden snacks, junk drawers, and why girls talk about poop more than guys. Plus, it's officially “naked season,” and the team explores the odd trend of people shedding clothes in public—including a man in Italy who rode a motorcycle completely nude (except for his helmet).Key Moments:

August 10, 2025As God's people, we are called to take His Word  into our hearts and minds, apply it, and declare it to others. The Bible is a living and active book that has the power to teach, convict, and correct us about our God and our lives before Him. Our ministry is to proclaim His Word even when it isn't popular or safe to do so. Our God has called us to be faithful, which requires that we trust Him to accomplish His will, especially in difficult circumstances or when we must deliver difficult truths.Revelation 10:1-11

The Lionesses have made history by becoming the first England football squad to win a major trophy on foreign soil, they successfully defended their European title in Basel last night. The match went to extra time and penalties - Clare McDonnell got reaction and reflection from guests including 5Live commentator Vicki Sparks, BBC Sport correspondent Katie Gornall, chief executive of the Women's Professional League Nikki Doucet and star player Lucy Bronze's mum Diane.The BBC has found that five women who were exploited by so-called grooming gangs in Rotherham as children say they were also abused by police officers in the town at the time. One woman says she was raped repeatedly in a marked police car, and threatened with being handed back to the gang if she didn't comply. The BBC's Ed Thomas brings us the story and Clare hears from Professor Alexis Jay who is the author of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse and Zoë Billingham, former His Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary.Actor Michelle Collins, best known as Cindy Beale in the BBC's EastEnders, makes her Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut in Motorhome Marilyn, a dark comedy inspired by Michelle's real-life encounter with a woman Cindy saw in LA. The play reveals the toll of living in the shadow of an icon, exploring failure, ageing and the heartbreaking cost of unattained dreams. Michelle joined Datshiane from Edinburgh to talk about her debut.Hattie Williams lost her mother when she was 18 years old leaving her feeling anchorless and needing to embark on a self-exploratory journey to recover some stability. When she experienced motherhood, she felt that she had achieved that. She told Anita Rani how these experiences inspired her first novel, Bitter Sweet, which she wrote on her maternity leave.Sara Pascoe is a comedian, and her children don't sleep, her kitchen won't clean itself and her husband “doesn't want to be in it”. Sara's new show - I am a Strange Gloop – is on a UK tour. She stumbles stunned to the stage from the soft play area, with battle-hardened tales to tell on the front line of motherhood.Nicola Benedetti is a Grammy award winning violinist and ambassador for classical music. She is also director of the Edinburgh International Festival, which begins on Friday. In October she's due to embark on her first solo tour in more than ten years. She joined Clare to discuss the repertoire, and how she will combine solo performances with storytelling, and share a selection of shorter works.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Annette Wells Editor: Corinna Jones

Why does (seemingly) every single person in Italy go on vacation during the month of August? If you've ever visited Italy in the month of August, you'll know that big cities and small towns alike empty out, particularly during the two middle weeks of August, and it can be a challenge to find a decent restaurant or shop open, or more locals than you can shake a stick at. Why is that? Would you believe it's a tradition that dates back two thousand years? Don't miss this week's mini-episode, which also happens to be our last new episode until September, because that's right, we too are taking the month of August off.
