    Jerry and the Pirates, Vol. 1, Hörbuch, Digital, 138min
    Set in the lovely seacoast town of Marblehead Massachusetts, Jerry and the Pirates is CRT's homage to the classic TV sitcoms of the 60's and 70's (complete with the ill-timed laugh track). Jerry Robbins stars as Jerry Davenport, a motion picture screenwriter who has left Hollywood for the quiet serenity of the craggy shores of the east coast. That serenity is soon shattered with the arrival of his three nephews, played by Rob Cattell, Connor Doherty, and Ricky MacDonald. Co-Starring CRT favorites Diane Capen, Lincoln Clark, Marcia Friedman, and J.T. Turner. Originally broadcast on Sirius XM Book Radio, Jerry and the Pirates is a good old fashioned comedy the entire family will enjoy. Vol. 1 includes these episodes: Ep. 01: "SHIVER THE TIMBERS:" While rushing to complete a script on a deadline, Jerry's three nephews arrive unexpectedly. Ep. 02: "EVERYTHING'S COMING UP PETUNIAS:" When Jerry refuses to write a speech for Mayor Quigley to give at the Petunia Lovers of America Convention, the kids write the speech and deliver it to the Mayor in Jerry's name - hoping the Mayor will allow them ride their four-wheelers on his property. Ep. 03: "THE HOUSEKEEPER COMETH:" It's Mrs. Thorns first day on the job, and she causes some ripples with the household schedule. Ep. 04: "THE HORN BLOWS AT MIDNIGHT:" Richie takes trombone lessons in hopes of joining the marching band at school. Ep. 05: "BUILDING RAMPS:" Richie builds several ramps in the back yard for his four wheeler. All is well until they hit metal, and think they may have found some buried treasure. Ep. 06: "GUNFIGHT AT THE OKEY-DOKEY CORRAL:" Jerry is writing a western, and Preston wants to go pumpkin picking. Preston takes over the script writing to hurry things along. Language: English. Narrator: Jerry Robbins, The Colonial Radio Players. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/011250/bk_acx0_011250_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Madam
    "The simmering menace and mystery kept me absolutely gripped...a smoldering novel that I could not put down." --Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne "Rebecca meets The Secret History: gloriously dark, gloriously Gothic." --Sara Collins, bestselling author of The Confessions of Fannie Langton Named a Best Book of 2021 by Goodreads . Entertainment Weekly . Parade . PopSugar . Brit+Co . Romper . Frolic . Crime Reads . SheKnows.com . Women.com Discover the secrets of Caldonbrae Hall in Phoebe Wynne's riveting, modern gothic debut, Madam, set at an all girls' boarding school perched on a craggy Scottish peninsula. For 150 years, high above rocky Scottish cliffs, Caldonbrae Hall has sat untouched, a beacon of excellence in an old ancestral castle. A boarding school for girls, it promises that the young women lucky enough to be admitted will emerge "resilient and ready to serve society." Into its illustrious midst steps Rose Christie: a 26-year-old Classics teacher, Caldonbrae's new head of the department, and the first hire for the school in over a decade. At first, Rose is overwhelmed to be invited into this institution, whose prestige is unrivaled. But she quickly discovers that behind the school's elitist veneer lies an impenetrable, starkly traditional culture that she struggles to reconcile with her modernist beliefs--not to mention her commitment to educating "girls for the future." It also doesn't take long for Rose to suspect that there's more to the secret circumstances surrounding the abrupt departure of her predecessor--a woman whose ghost lingers everywhere--than anyone is willing to let on. In her search for this mysterious former teacher, Rose instead uncovers the darkness that beats at the heart of Caldonbrae, forcing her to confront the true extent of the school's nefarious purpose, and her own role in perpetuating it. A darkly feminist tale pitched against a haunting backdrop, and populated by an electrifying cast of heroines, Madam will keep readers engrossed until the breathtaking conclusion. They want our silence... They want our obedience... Let them see our fire burn

    One Year Lived , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min
    During his 29th year, spending just $19,420.68, less than it would have cost him to stay at home, Adam Shepard visited seventeen countries on four continents and lived some amazing adventures. "It's interesting to me," he says, "that in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Europe, it's normal for people to pack a bag, buy a plane ticket, and get 'Out There.' In the U.S., though, we live with this very stiff paradigm: graduate college, work, find a spouse, make babies, work some more, retire, which can be a great existence, but leaves little room to load up a backpack and dip into various cultures, to see places, to really develop our own identity." Shepard's journey began in "the other Antigua" - Antigua, Guatemala - where he spent a month brushing up on his Spanish and traveling on the "chicken bus." During his two months in Honduras, he worked with an organization that helps improve the lives of poor children; in Nicaragua, he dug wells to install pumps for clean water and then stepped into the ring to face a savage bull; in Thailand, he rode an elephant and cut his hair into a mullet; in Australia, he hugged a koala, contemplated the present-day treatment of the Aborigines, and mustered cattle; in Poland, he visited Auschwitz; in Slovakia, he bungee jumped off a bridge; and in the Philippines, he went wakeboarding among Boracay's craggy inlets and then made love to Ivana on the second most beautiful beach in the world. His yearlong journey, which took two years to save for, was a spirited blend of leisure, volunteerism, and enrichment. He read 71 books, including ten classics and one - slowly - in Spanish. "If you can lend a hand to someone, educate yourself about the world, and sandwich that around extraordinary moments that get your blood pumping, that's a pretty full year," Shepard writes. Can everybody take a year to get missing? "Maybe, maybe not," he says, "though that's not really the point. I'm just concerned that ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Adam Shepard.

    Delphi: The History of the Ancient Greek Sanctuary and Home to the World’s Most Famous Oracle , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 106min
    The ancient Greeks used a number of forms of divination to determine the future and seek advice from the gods as to which actions they should take in any given situation. The most popular of these ways to consult the Gods was through a visit to an oracle - usually a person - at a fixed shrine. The oldest of these Greek sites was at Dodona in Epirus, and while it continued to be a major oracle for the Greek world through antiquity, it was quickly overtaken by the oracle at Delphi as the most consulted by kings, politicians, and ordinary Greeks alike.Whereas the oracle at Dodona was of Zeus, that at Delphi was of Apollo. Over the years, the Delphic Oracle - located, it was believed, at the omphalos, the belly button of the world - came to such a position of preeminence that almost every major decision taken by any Greek polei in the Classical period involved a consultation with the god Apollo to ascertain whether the proposed action would be sanctioned by the gods. The format of the question was normally that of seeking approval for a proposition already decided upon, rather than an attempt to illicit instruction per se.Colonization decisions, political changes, and matters of religion were all subject to final approval from Delphi, delivered by the Pythia, the oracle through which the god was thought to speak. At an individual level and for those who could afford it, decisions on such matters as marriage, children, and business ventures were made after the oracle had spoken. The oracle’s influence on so many major events in the Archaic, Classical, and to a lesser extent, Hellenistic and Roman periods is without parallel in any other part of the world or time.Delphi overlooks the Gulf of Corinth, and it is no wonder why the setting mesmerized contemporaries. The majestic, almost magical, aspect of the site, bordered by precipitous cliffs and craggy footpaths on a hillside that is dotted with deep, dark caves and lined by gargling streams of pur ungekürzt.

NOTES Pebbles in the Pond Music can be but a small speck in the scheme of things, but still make a profound influence heard 'round the world. The exceptional characteristic about classical music is there is no right or wrong way to listen to it, and no one dictates what you should hear. It depends on what is in your life to relate to it. That is the correct interpretation for you. As Charlie Parker said: "Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." Of course, it is a little like eating peanuts, the more you try it, the more you enjoy it. Reflections on the Water has been one of my favorite pieces to play for many years, and audiences have always loved it. It invites us to imagine all kinds of water-fountains, pools, great oceans, sprays with the sun glistening, and a trip back to childhood, throwing pebbles in the pond to watch the ripples grow in outward, in ever enlarging circles. Debussy's impressionistic sounds conjure images similar to the paintings of Renoir, Manet, and Monet. He was influenced by American jazz, and his music had a profound influence on all composers after him. The music of Scarlatti was such fun to work on after doing Chopin and Gerswhin, just like a refreshing dip in a pool, after the steamy summer day. Scarlatti's sound reflects the cool blue of the Mediterranean, and simple joys of life. Unique usage of dissonance, and remarkably original sonorities, deep expressive range, from humor and wit to passions and despair. The Sonata in F Minor represents one of Scarlatti's more thoughtful, quiet pieces which constantly seems to reach upward, striving for an unknown sublime entity only the listener can understand for himself. Chopin wrote music that changed the way the world wrote music, heard music, and performed music. Considering he found the piano complete for the expression of his creative spirit, pianists revel in his music, and audiences have responded to that love. It was not always so. His editors told him, his music was "too difficult," and people couldn't read it. Indeed, if one approaches Chopin's music with a mind set on a classical style, it is pretty dreadful! And so, we change gears, and enter into the Romantic mode, where we have lyrical phrases, influenced by Chopin's admiration of Bach's music, love of the opera, flowing accompaniments, full use of the piano including pedaling which becomes an art in itself, and importantly, we must enter into the heart and mind of the composer to communicate his feelings to the listeners. Many find Chopin at his best in his small pieces, and so I have chosen an unusual Nocturne-one which has a surprise ending, a Mazurka not too often heard, and the lovely Etude in E Major, which is said to be a melody Chopin claimed to be his best, along with the Waltz in G Flat. The Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue by Bach is a piece sometimes avoided by performers and teachers, because it takes a good deal of research to come up with what the performer believes is a credible version. I used three editions, listened to several recordings, and referred to some notes from Evelyn Mitchell, a fine teacher who had been a child prodigy and studied with Maurice Rosenthal. The Fantasy progresses through chromatic chords and cadenza-like runs which are a real trip! Going back to the Urtext edition, it is easier to understand the structure which Bach uses to create his improvisations. The Fugue begins with a soft, noble subject in the right hand and progresses relentlessly to a majestic finale with octaves using the whole keyboard. . George Gershwin, one of America's greatest composers, died at the age of 39. He was a talented pianist, who made his way on Tin Pan Alley at the age of 15. He could sight read anything put in front of him, and transpose it, and then improvise on it. He had large hands and much of his music contains intervals of 10ths and 12ths. These three Preludes were written to bring the syncopation and craggy rhythms and lyrical blues of jazz to the concert stage and reach "serious" audiences. "Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." (Red Auerbach (1812 - 1882) and quoted again by Pat Conroy -and now, by me. It is my deepest wish that those who hear this music experience some of what I felt in making this CD -no worries, no fears-I was invincible. I felt connected -to the past and the present. Happy Listening! Pat.
