And now the news..........or Monday Morning Music?

Monday Morning Music or News or Both? What is this you might ask? For those unaware it is Auto-Tune, which is a software program that alters a singers' voice to achieve a perfect pitch. If you are not singing, it gives you a twangy electronic voice. Cher was the first to use Auto-Tune in her 1998 hit "Believe," (oh....now I remember this!). Daft Punk turned it into another instrument in "One More Time" (posted below). The world of electronics.....will I ever be able to keep up!

Batu Bamboo Dome Rings from John Hardy

Batu Bamboo Dome Ring

Thanksgiving has come and gone,  now on to the Christmas lists......This is one of the items on my Christmas list.   Timeless bamboo....  contemporary yet classic, and it will look great with my arm full of sterling John Hardy Bamboo bangles, which continue to be part of my daily uniform.  My personal favorite is the Smoky Quartz, although the Rose De France and Rhodolite, Honey Citrine and Citrine and White Topaz all looked fab too!

Did you know for each piece purchased, John Hardy will donate a

portion of the purchase price to plant bamboo?

"Wear Bamboo, Plant Bamboo"

Notice the inside of the ring in the photo....

This  plants 14 bamboos!

 

 

Striving towards becoming a carbon neutral

company, John Hardy offsets the carbon

emissions of its print advertising, business

travel and electricity by planting bamboo.

To date, 62 acres with over 11,000 bamboo

seedlings have been planted in the community

based program ‘Wear Bamboo, Plant Bamboo’

working with over 200 local farmers.
