All I can really say right now about this is . . . WOW!!! Complex, intricate, multi-dimensional and makes me feel like I have entered another realm. I cannot wait to see more of this artist's work as this was my first introduction to Joe Fenton's portfolio.

Sinead O'Connor - Last Day Of Our Acquaintance
I ran across this song again recently, it is one that has always moved me. It is heartbreaking and expresses that feeling of loss that many of us can relate to. The pain can be felt through the power of both the music and the lyrics. I remember how this song became the soundtrack of teenage breakups amongst my friends. It is an engaging and powerful ballad.

Hallelujah
This song has been performed and recorded by many different artists. I enjoy all the versions I have heard so far but most of all, the song itself, both lyrically and musically is heart wrenching and really strikes a chord in me. I hope you enjoy these performances and that this song moves you in some way.

Five For Fighting - 100 Years
Oh, the journey this takes me on. This song always brings tears to my eyes. Everyday's a new day . . . so true . . . a gift, not a promise. The time goes too quickly.
Danzón N° 1, Arturo Márquez
Happy Cinco De Mayo!!!
Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a holiday held on May 5. It is celebrated nationwide in the United States and regionally in Mexico, primarily in the state of Puebla.[1][2][3][4] The date is observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride,[5] and to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War.[6] In the state of Puebla, the date is observed to commemorate the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín.[7][8] Contrary to widespread popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day,[9][10] the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico, which occurs on September 16th.
Danzón in Mexico
Danzón was also very popular in the Gulf Coast state of Veracruz, Mexico, because of the strong Cuban influence in the region. Later on danzón developed in Mexico City, specially in the famous Salón México; in fact, it has survived as a dance longer there than in Cuba.
Today, people are still dancing the danzón in Mexico, particularly in the main plaza of Veracruz and Mexico City, and in yearly festivals across Mexico. The dance had a second revival in the 1990s, especially amongst Mexico's senior citizens. Owing to the popularity of the piece Danzón no. 2 by Arturo Márquez (b.1950) it has been called the second national anthem by some.
