Alias Emperor Rodgers: A Majestic Memoir by Baltimore's Emperor of Insanity in the Crazy Daze of '60s Top 40 Radio , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 314min
Alias Emperor Rodgers is a memoir of the crazy days of Top 40 radio, the “new” format that launched like a rocket in the 1950s and blasted whacky DJs and rock ‘n’ roll music across America like a streaking comet. Top 40 hit Baltimore, Maryland, in 1956 when WCAO “grabbed it and ran” - that story is told here through the journey of a high school kid from Pennsylvania who, along with buddy Kerby (Scott) Confer, hopped aboard the juggernaut early and rode it to the top. This radio history is filled with fun and frivolity, just as AM radio was back then - with promotions people scheming up crazy stunts that would never be allowed today. The story offers insight into the business of radio, told with genuine affection for the many people who helped this author build a radio career that reached heights far beyond his wildest dreams. First to WSBA in York, Pennsylvania, and WARM in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, as Paul Roberts (alias number one), then to Baltimore’s premier Top 40 radio station, WCAO, where he rises to prominence as Paul Rodgers (alias number two), and where he is soon elevated to the exalted rank of "Emperor Rodgers" (alias number three). Yet another dream was fulfilled when Paul left Top 40 radio to join the staff of radio personalities at Metro Media’s WCBM, an early adopter of yet another "new" radio format called Hot Adult Contemporary - "Hot AC" for short. All along the way it was Paul’s privilege to be working with the best, which enabled him to become one of the best. The audiobook comes with links and images that illuminate the story and enhance the listener's experience that are all available in a companion PDF.

The Provincial Lady in Wartime , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 499min
The Provincial Lady in Wartime, though the last of the Provincial Lady series, is one of the finest. No further ‘Diaries’ had appeared since The Provincial Lady in America (published in 1934) when, in 1939, Harold Macmillan, then chairman of Macmillan publishers and a fan, made a personal request to E. M. Delafield for a new book. The onset of the war with Germany was serious, but, he said, Britain, was in need of the entertaining but pertinent observations from the Provincial Lady! Delafield duly set to work and produced the longest and in a way the most interesting of the ‘Diaries’ without losing its sense of fun, of seemingly casual frivolity. The Provincial Lady in Wartime covers a short time - from 1 September 1939 (just before the declaration of war on 3 September) to 21 November 1939, when fact again met fiction and E. M. Delafield was really ‘called up’ to work for the Ministry of Information. As a result, the focus in the book was on the ‘Phoney War’ when the country found itself in a fever of preparation without the intense action that was to follow a short time after. The Provincial Lady finds herself in London, looking for voluntary work to support the war effort, which proves an unexpectedly difficult thing to achieve. Her interactions with a varied host of companions, also caught up in a strange frenzy, reflect so clearly the mood and tension of the time, yet the account is witty, apposite - and so very English, with the stiff upper lip underpinning it all. This book is both hugely entertaining and a faithful portrait of the months before hostilities began in earnest - as seen, of course, from the quirky eyes and particular milieu of the Provincial Lady, whom we have come to love and admire. Sad, then, that it was to be the last ‘Diary’. However, this recording also contains The Provincial Lady in Russia, the three articles Delafield wrote for Harper’s Magazine in 1937 covering he ungekürzt. Language: English.

Billionaire Baby Daddy: A Billionaire Love Child Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 96min
When I went out for my 21st birthday, all I wanted was a few drinks and a night out with my friends, but what I ended up with was so much more than what I'd expected. A night of frivolity with the girls soon ended up being a night to remember when we were invited to the VIP area of the hottest club in town to see my favorite DJ, and when I met him, I knew my life would never be the same. A one-night stand and a year later, I found myself raising a beautiful baby boy by myself, and though he was the greatest blessing I'd ever received, money was tight and times were getting pretty hard, but I was managing. As luck would have it, I ran into Trent Mandrake one day as I was walking, and after a brief conversation, I informed him of his child. His reaction was the absolute worst, and after the uncomfortable encounter, he handed me a business card and informed me that he wanted me to have a paternity test done and then we could handle things from there. After the test, he made it clear that he didn't want anything to do with us but would help out financially, and that was better than nothing at this point, but I wanted my son to have his father. I wondered if there were any way that Trent and I could ever make some sort of relationship possible, and the more that I saw him, the more I wanted to be near him. Could things between the rich and arrogant philanthropist ever work out, or would I always just be another bill that he had to pay? Could we ever find that spark that we had on the night we met, or was I doomed to want him from afar and be doomed to forever just be nothing more than his son's mother?

Rare Klavierzugaben
This fascinating recital takes us on a tour of some of the less-frequented byways of the piano world, and into a repertoire all too often missing from our concert halls as modern performers and promoters eschew the 'frivolity' of such works. Yet these are the very pieces which were the meat and drink of the grand masters of previous centuries.- Shop: odax
