Carol King and James Taylor – Live at the Troubadour

Back in the 1970’s I was a struggling musician and like so many of my fellow singer/songwriters I idolized and emulated the successful artists of the day. Carol King and James Taylor were two of my favorites.

I never got the chance to see them live at the Troubadour back then even though I went to the Troubadour every chance I got. I saw them in other venues later on but missing their Troubadour performances was a missing piece in my personal music portfolio. Lucky for me they decided to get back together for a tour – and lucky for me the Troubadour is still alive and kicking.

This 15 song set takes you right back to the grand days of the music club scene in Los Angeles in the 70’s. In those days clubs were more intimate and less noisy. And the Troubadour was the perfect place to go to see live performances.

Beautiful Cubic Zirconia Bracelets

Bracelets are one of the oldest forms of jewelry. In fact, they may be the very oldest. They have been fashioned from just about anything imaginable beginning with simple leather and shells all the way up to the precious metals and gemstones used today.

They’ve been worn for identification purposes and religious purposes, but most often they’ve been worn as objects of fashion or adornment. They’re designed to draw the eye and hold your attention. And the expensive bracelets do that very well.

But with the growing use of cubic zirconia (CZ), bracelets can be both stunning and inexpensive. Literally any bracelet of any design can be made with CZ and look great.

Find out more about cubic zirconia bracelets and how affordable they can be by reading my article on Hubpages “Cubic Zirconia Bracelets.”

The Useful Pasta Drying Rack

Okay, so you love to cook Italian food, especially pasta. You've even gone so far as to buy yourself a pasta machine so you can make your own pasta any time you want to. Well, you might want to consider adding one accessory to your kitchen that can make your pasta preparations easier. And that's a pasta drying rack.

What use is a pasta drying rack you ask? Good question. It's important to completely dry out your fresh pasta so that it will either cook easily or store easily. You see, damp pasta may clump together when cooked and if it's stored when it's damp, it will spoil.

Find out more about pasta drying racks and how they help you make better pasta by reading my article on Hubpages “The Pasta Drying Rack.”
