Dear Ann

Thank you for sharing Kaliban - I love now knowing that about you.

Growing up my parents always played soul and diana ross and abba and dire straits and the drifters.

My time was the 80's but I notice that I have retained the words more of my parents music.

Deep peace to you

Mark

What a beautiful voice, dear Ann...and your sister, too! I loved hearing your Kaliban group in action. My brother and I spent hours and hours in our basement listening to the early Beatles albums my dad purchased. Also Hair and Godspell. We knew every word (some of which we should not have known!) We also had a family tradition on Sundays--after church, we'd stop by a local grocery store that had a small section for 45s, and my brother and I each got to pick one out. My very first record purchase was Black Magic Woman by Carlos Santana. Can you imagine what my mother must have thought?? I was eight years old buying something with that title. Ha! I was a Latin music fan from the start. Even today, nothing gets me dancing like a good Latin beat!

Ann. I’m aware of the sibling sound. E g the carpenters. Yes. Always willing to hear new music. Went to Elvis film yesterday. Will click on the links shortly. Wishing you a lovely afternoon

In the midst of extraordinary difficulty. I like to think whatever else happens in life to be able to see a bright day in rain abd still sing for optimism. Yes this really means the world. Heartfelt best joy. Richard. Aaaah life’s good. Always!!!

Ahhh, so much fun to explore this topic—especially to hear you and your sister and the brothers Kaliban all sing together! You all were gifted!! For me, singing with my two (half) sisters was such a joy! We sang three part harmony very easily—and had that DNA “vibrational sibling blend”. I’m convinced it is a special pairing of sympathetic frequencies that does it. Inga would generally sing the melody, Martha would improvise a high harmony, and I filled in any lower harmony notes. We laughed, made up songs, and sang Andrews Sisters and Pointer Sisters songs for hours—beautiful memories!! I hope you have a glorious weekend! ♥️🌹🥰so much gratitude, love and joy!!
