The Phenomenal Fab Four
The Beatles came on the scene when they were most needed by the world of rock and roll. With their unusual hairstyles, awesome music, and popularity they quickly became known as The Fab Four. However, it seemed that as quickly as they skyrocketed to fame they were also changing in many different ways and even though you would expect that a band like this would have kept on rockin' they disbanded after releasing 12 albums. But with all the compilations and other special releases, it was enough to make them legends and very successful on their solo musical journeys.

Sugar and Honey Sweet Love
Sugar and honey are two terms used as endearment between partners. They are interchangeable and can be used when referring to either females or males. When in love usually it gives the person being addressed a warm all-over feeling that their partner loves them so very much. I remember back in high school a very silly saying that had me and my girlfriends laughing until tears came to our eyes – “sure as the grass grows round the stump, you are my darling sugar lump”. These terms have inspired many songs. Among these one of my favorites is “Sugar Baby Love”. Which is yours?

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.
