Although Aaron is noted for romantic scores and melodic symphonic works, he also can compose music for any style or genre and his music has been used in a wide variety of movie and documentary film scores. Aaron has also lectured and taught music workshops at schools around the world. Kaplan also lectures and performs his music to demonstrate the mind-body connection and healing aspects of music. His work is utilized by medical and mental health professionals and can be heard in hospitals and healing centers. Aaron is an adjunct faculty member of The Institute For Functional Medicine. 

Kaplan was recently acknowledged by the Maurice Ravel International Association of Italy as one of the best composers in the world and was recognized for first place in the U.S.A. He was also one of only two composers in the United States invited to create an original composition for a premier performance in the honored International Modern Symphonic and Chamber Music Festival in Eastern Europe. One of his compositions was premiered at the Meyerson Symphony Hall in Dallas by the Turtle Creek Chorale's 225 men choir plus orchestra. Kaplan's award winning song, "We're Coming Home," has been used with film and fundraising and was selected as the best Jewish song of the year in the United States. He also produced a music video to help raise awareness of the need to help children particular those who are in foster care and awaiting adoption. Aaron's "Symphonic Fantasy" was performed by the West Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra.

 

There are very few acts in pop music who have covered such a wide spectrum of styles as this duo. From April's early, highly influential hits with Henri René, and Nino's appearance with Benny Goodman onstage at 7 years old (!), to his recent appearance at Carnegie Hall--there have been masterful forays into rock and roll, jazz, latin sounds, rhythm and blues, sweet harmonies, lush, expansive ballads...

In fact, it seems they set out to leave no stone unturned as they explored different sonic solutions to the age old problem of 'putting their message across' in song. Carol and Anthony LoTempio were born in Niagara Falls, NY. They took the Grammy® for Best Rock & Roll Song in 1963.  And, on October 26, 1999, they were inducted into the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame in Buffalo, NY:  a fitting tribute to two of pop music's most versatile and durable adventurers. They seem to have been born to create music. Explore, and discover some of the many roads their musical wanderlust has taken them. Today, Nino has a hit, a remastered CD album. Listen here to Amazon River his new release with April Stevens.

Today, I saw something disturbing. The number one Video Game is a violent game with mass destruction.  Grown-ups are advocating and promoting this on media. Why? Does this not affect children and their brains, anesthetize them to the point of not feeling any emotion?  Why are we not looking at this situation? Isn’t this Video Game craze going to far? Are Video Games causing kids to go and kill parents, friends  and schoolmates? I don’t believe it’s a gun issue, I believe the culprit of violence in our society are the Video Games. How do you feel about this statement? Children are playing violent Video Games and becoming  Robots like the characters in the game? This is my opinion..

Annette May Tucker is an American songwriter, who found success in the 1960s as co-writer of songs for The Electric Prunes ("I HAD TO MUCH TO DREAM LAST NIGHT", "GET ME TO THE WORLD ON TIME"), The Brogues ("I AINT NO MIRACLE WORKER"), The Knickerbockers ("A Coming Generation"), Nancy and Frank Sinatra ("Feelin' Kinda Sunday") and others.In 1961, as an aspiring songwriter, she met musician and songwriter Al Hazan, and together they wrote "Stick Around", which Tucker recorded. It was released as a single byPiper Records in Los Angeles in 1962.

Women Rise UP! Speak up and show the world how brave and strong we are. No more silence! We got the power! Just don't wait 30 years to say something, Do it NOW!!

Your story is important to all of us. It will teach us what to look for, how to cope, how to share. how to report, the do's and the don'ts. We learn from each other to be strong.

YOU have the power to get your life back. It's your turn. CALL IN GUEST MANDELYNN REESE THE STREET ANGEL

I want to share my stories, some I don't think of any more. I want to hear your story. All of us need to listen to each other and learn from each other. Empower each other and live strong. We each learn how to overcome our fears, how to forgive and move on with our lives. We can all support each other, just listen.

An opportunity for women and men to call in to discuss the matter at hand Sexual harassment and abuse. Why does this happen? Will it stop? Many questions, we need answers. Women and men may call anonymously or give only their first names. Let's talk about it, Let's help others. We need a platform, a way to speak out without consequences, or fear. We need to help others to heal ourselves. God bless all of us.
