It's "Friend Friday"... televised! But each week, you will get a "Friend Friday" of the behind the scenes footage before it airs. So you will get more of the interview, stuff you missed, and see things the normal viewers don't. </p> <p>Sam starts this adventure with his friend Kristin Chenoweth, who share quite a bit in common. Currently staring in the hit ABC show "Pushing Daisies" <br />http://tinyurl.com/PushingDaisiesABC <br />and she has a new CD out for Christmas called <br />"A Lovely Way To Spend Christmas". <br />Available now!: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/KristinTunes">tinyurl.com</a> </p> <p>For more info on Kristin, please visit: <br />http://www.kristinchenoweth.com</p> <p>Kristin Chenoweth is an award-winning American singer and musical theatre, film and television actress. Some of her best-known roles have included Glinda in Broadway's Wicked and Annabeth Schott in television's The West Wing. She is currently appearing in the role of Olive Snook on the ABC dramedy Pushing Daisies for which she received an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy. She is also the face of Jude Frances jewelry. Chenoweth has a distinctive speaking voice. In FHM's March 2006 issue, she compared her voice to that of Betty Boop. Chenoweth is a soprano known for her powerful singing technique.</p> <p>Chenoweth was born Kristi Dawn Chenoweth (she added an "n" in her first name later because she thought that "Kristin" was a more operatic name than "Kristi") in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and was adopted at birth. Chenoweth's ancestry includes one-quarter Cherokee lineage. After studying drama at Broken Arrow High School under Billie Sue Thompson, Chenoweth attended Oklahoma City University, where she was a member of Gamma Phi Beta (Beta Omicron) Sorority. She earned a bachelor's degree in musical theater and a master's degree in opera performance, studying under Florence Birdwell who taught Miss America 1981 Susan Powell and three-time Tony nominee Kelli O'Hara. While at OCU, Chenoweth won the title of "Miss OCU" and went on to win second runner-up in the Miss Oklahoma pageant in 1991. She also performed at Opryland USA.</p> <p>Chenoweth made her Broadway debut in a production of Molière's Scapin starring Bill Irwin, followed in the spring of 1997 by the musical Steel Pier by John Kander and Fred Ebb, for which she won a Theatre World award. The following season, she appeared in the City Center Encores! production of the George and Ira Gershwin musical Strike Up the Band and the Lincoln Center Theater production of William Finn's A New Brain. She has performed several times on the radio program A Prairie Home Companion.</p> <p>During the 19981999 season, she performed in the Broadway revival of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown as the title character's sister, Sally, a character that was not present in the original production. (That character replaces the obscure Peanuts character Patty, not to be confused with Peppermint Patty.) The production won Chenoweth the Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Awards as the season's Best Featured Actress in a Musical. She then starred in the Broadway comedy Epic Proportions, followed by appearances in ABC's television adaptation of the musical Annie (as Lily St. Regis), and in the leading role of Daisy Gamble in the City Center Encores! production of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.</p> <p>In 2003, Chenoweth performed songs from her album Let Yourself Go in concert for Lincoln Center's 5th American Songbook. She also performed in City Center Encores! 10th Anniversary Bash. In London, she was involved in Divas at Donmar for director Sam Mendes, then appeared in the Actor's Fund Benefit Concert of the musical Funny Girl in New York City.</p> <p>In October 2003, Chenoweth returned to Broadway in Wicked, the smash hit musical about the early years of the witches of Oz. She was nominated for a Tony Award as Best Leading Actress in a Musical for her performance as Glinda. After playing Glinda for nine months (not including the years leading up to the Broadway run where she played the role in all of the show's workshops), Chenoweth left Wicked on 18 July 2004 along with co-stars Joel Grey and Norbert Leo Butz. Chenoweth was replaced by Jennifer Laura Thompson.</p> <p>----------------------------------------</p> <p>Sam's NEW CD, "Free" ...</p> <p>► <a href="http://samharris.com/free">samharris.com</a> </p>

Let us rejoice and be glad in it." </p> <p>He thanked Rick Fortner, music director at All Souls Unitarian Church, for providing the spark years ago that resulted in the celebration, and for directing the community choir. </p> <p>Near the end of the celebration, 11 faith leaders representing the major religions of the world offered prayers of blessing for the new facility. </p> <p>Sitting side-by-side on the podium were spiritual leaders who were Methodist, Charismatic, Roman Catholic, Mormon, Greek Orthodox, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Unitarian, Buddhist and African Methodist Episcopal. </p> <p>"We decided to call it a multifaith event, rather than an interfaith event, which carries some connotations," said Jim Mishler, executive director of Tulsa Metropolitan Ministry, who helped plan the celebration. </p> <p>"We asked faith leaders to pray in their own tradition." </p> <p>As a result, several leaders used the term "in Jesus' name," a phrase generally frowned upon at interfaith events. </p> <p>Another prayed to Allah in Arabic, and another prayed in Sanskrit. Bishop Edward J. Slattery, of the Catholic Diocese of Tulsa, prayed in Spanish. </p> <p>English translations of the foreign language prayers were displayed on the scoreboard as the leaders prayed. </p> <p>A common theme running through the prayers was that the arena would be a blessing to the Tulsa community. </p> <p>Erling said the participation of such diverse faith leaders at one event "has probably never been done in our city to this degree." </p> <p>Mayor Kathy Taylor and BOK Center General Manager John Bolton spoke briefly. </p> <p>As the crowd streamed out of the arena, Jeramy Auld said of the celebration, "I thought it was great." </p> <p>"We're taxpayers," his wife Libby Auld said. "We thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be here." </p> <p>MORE: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/sambok2">tinyurl.com</a> </p> <p>****************************** *************************</p> <p>► <a href="http://MySpace.com/SamHarrisMusic">MySpace.com</a> <br />... keep up to date, and be Sam's MySpace friend!</p> <p>http://SamHarris.com <br />© All videos property of Sam Harris</p> </div> <a href="/blog/51523-rehearsal-of-this-little-light-of-mine-for-bok-center-concert">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/50785-authors-google-daniel-levitin 2008-10-17T12:42:02Z AtGoogleTalks <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Sn45Z9X-vgg&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Sn45Z9X-vgg&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/50785-authors-google-daniel-levitin"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/61670" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Daniel Levitin visits Google's San Francisco, CA office to discuss his book "The World in Six Songs: How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature." This event took place on August 22, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series.</p> <p>An unprecedented blend of science and art, Daniel Levitin's debut, This Is Your Brain on Music, was an extraordinary success. Now in what is being called a tour de force by his peers, he showcases his audacious theory of "six songs," illuminating how the brain evolved to play and listen to music in six fundamental forms—for friendship, joy, comfort, knowledge, religion, and love.</p> <p>Blending cutting-edge scientific findings with his own sometimes hilarious experiences as a musician and music-industry professional, Levitin's sweeping study also incorporates wisdom gleaned from interviews with icons ranging from Sting and Paul Simon to Joni Mitchell and David Byrne, along with classical musicians, poets, anthropologists, and evolutionary biologists.</p> <p>Daniel J. Levitin runs the Laboratory for Musical Perception, Cognition, and Expertise at McGill University. Before becoming a research scientist, he was a record producer and professional musician. As a producer, he has a number of gold records to his credit, and has worked on albums by artists such as Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, Midnight Oil, and kd lang. He has played professionally with Mel Torme, Blue Oyster Cult, and David Byrne, and has published extensively in scientific journals such as Science and Neuron and audio trade journals such as Grammy, Billboard, and Audio.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/50785-authors-google-daniel-levitin">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/46325-spike-lee-to-film-musical-passing-strange-1-2 2008-10-28T09:29:22Z I Want Democracy Now <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ki_-Ib4vzYY&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ki_-Ib4vzYY&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/46325-spike-lee-to-film-musical-passing-strange-1-2"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/54442" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Spike Lee to Film Tony Award-Winning Musical "Passing Strange" as Show Comes to a Close on Broadway</p> <p>The rock musical Passing Strange closes on Sunday after a six-month run on Broadway.
