A Look at the 2000's 2000-2005

it's hard to believe that tomorrow will be the last day of 2009 but also it's the end of the 2000's and it's hard to believe we have gone through this decade very quickly I mean pickle me grandmother that it seems like yesterday that we were @ the end of the 90's but the 20th century. When i think about this decade from my own experiences has been an very good and wonderful decade for me as a lot of great things happend but as well as sad ones and I hope that the 2010's will be as good as the 2000's. I would like to chose some highlights of this decade for me- 2000- first anniversary @ St Andrews War memorial Hospital, went to 7 concerts -Willie Nelson & Ultimate Rock Symphony @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre, The Manfreds @ Wynnum manly Leagues Club, Eric Burdon & the New Animals,Eric Haydock's Hollies, Hermans Hermits and Cotton Keays & Morris @ Kedron-Wavell, was at crossroads in youth, GIG and joined Tuesday Options on Tuesday september 19

Vera Lynn-we'll Meet Again the Very Best of Vera Lynn

Image
Last Wednesday i bought this CD @ JB Hi Fi in the city on Queens Street and it's an new greatest hits CD by British 40's Singer Vera Lynn which contains her famous hits including the classic "We'LL Meet Again" which it's sounds as good today as it was 70 years ago as well as other hits like white Cliffs Of Dover, Yours, If you Love Me(really Love Me), Dream etc. This is a very good CD and it's very good to listen to it which it's amazing that there is still interest in the music that was made in the 40's as well as someone as Vera Lynn who is 92 years old and also great to see there is appreciation for that music of time. this CD went to no 1 in the UK on September 13th which it's an amazing to see Vera Lynn at age 92 the oldest living artist in the UK to hit no 1 in the album charts and it proves to music fans that it doesn't matter the age you are you can still have an hit album in the charts which she has prove that. I give this 5 star
