Emily's going solo
Recently at a local gathering one of our Embroiled News talent scouts met Emily who is beginning to learn to play the violin during her Freshman year in high school. Unmistakably, anyone can recognize that she is making a great progress and most likely will become a noted violin virtuoso. Everyone at the Embroiled News Central Office was mesmerized by Emily's talent and the devotion to master her instrument.

“Jazz and Java” at the Valencia Palm
The Embroiled News has once again attended the annual “Jazz and Java” performance at the Valencia Palm, featuring Phil Silberman’s, “Avery Lane” Jazz at it’s finest.
The performance was par excellence reminiscent of the gone by era of the 30' 40' and 50’s jazz. The spellbound audience enjoyed old favorites and jazz standards from “Girl talk” to “Caravan” and romantic tunes like “Speak low” and “Without a Song.”
The electrifying jazz sounds seemed to charge everyone as the audience was brought back to a time when jazz was top. Jazz, American’s original sound, was well represented by the quintet jazz performers and each note they played. Unlike the modern concert formats of today’s performances, jazz remains an intimate musical art form that is better appreciated when played live, near people or smaller audiences.
All those of us who love the great sound of jazz, must make a better effort to preserve this unique American musical art form for our enjoinment, but most importantly, we need to preserve it for our future generations.
The era of jazz clubs have been alarmingly disappearing and so is the great talent that once played there. The cool and sizzling jazz sounds that once played from Harlem to the smoke filled rooms clubs in lower Manhattan and across America have become few in numbers. It is up to us to make sure that our American Jazz tradition continues.
The Embroiled News invites you to listen brief highlights from the “Jazz and Java” performance recently recorded live with Phil Silberman on drums, Judy Moskowitz on piano, and Mike Kagen on the alto saxophone. ~!~

Across our nation, occupy Wall Street
An historic collapse in state funding, loss of jobs and home foreclosures in record numbers, have united the people to demand a betted future. Wall Street financiers have become the catalyst in this new wave of protesters. Presented here are but a few of the many individuals who were inspired and felt the need to join across our nation in solidarity with the cause. ~!~
The Embroiled News was there to report these events.
Read Banned Books!
Each year, the last week of September is designated Banned Books Week. It celebrates the democratic freedom to read whatever we want to read. It also celebrates the freedom to choose and to express one’s opinion even if that opinion might be considered unpopular, while stressing the importance of ensuring the viewpoints to all, who wish to read them. Amaze your family and shock you conservative friends by, "Reading banned books all year long!"

Fun day at the neighborhood playground
Kids will always be kids. Walking through my local playground where I exercise as the doctor ordered, I couldn’t help to notice how carefree children played as when I was their age. They ran, bounced and jumped. They found amusement in all their antics, laughing and calling out loud, their fun never seems to end. I briefly saw myself in them. I smiled contented in knowing that another bright and happy child will some day continue, when I no longer could.
It was a fun day at the neighborhood playground. Kids will always be kids. ~!~
