Always a Lady
Lady is a nice respectable term to refer to a woman. Of course, there are those with no respect, who yell, “Hey, Lady!” I am referring to this as a positive term. Many terrific songs have been inspired by the term lady. One of my top favorites is “Three Times a Lady”. Which is your favorite?

Skopje on the Vardar River
Ever since Macedonia became a successor state of the former Yugoslavia and declared its independence in 1991 it has remained unnoticed. This is due to the fact that Macedonia, officially the Republic of Macedonia is a country that is landlocked right in the heart of the Balkans and one of Europe’s youngest and smallest countries. However, it does have a lot of beauty to offer tourists. There are wild mountains, fertile plains and huge lakes.

Elvis Rocking On (Part One)
Especially for fans of The King of Rock and Roll and for those who want to know about Elvis Presley and his music.

These are his studio albums and not the soundtracks from his movies.
