Sewell's influence is evident in the Wilson remake of "Time after Time." That's right, Cyndi Lauper, but Miles Davis also interpreted the melody closer to the less-noted curtain call of his career. A slightly dismayed murmur from those who had not heard her new album flowed across the words "Cyndi Lauper" as Wilson introduced the piece. The fear quickly turned into mellow groove, though, as audience members regretted questioning for even a second Wilson's class. Her slightly-lower-than-contralto changes the song completely, as does Sewell's light acoustic background and Plaxico's soothing base...
...choreograph innovative steps. What emerges in his dances is a continuous, ebullient surge of movement that exists in perfect harmony with the music. Yo Yo Ma's passionate delivery of the music on stage with the dancers along with the visual splendor of the costumes and sets-a murmur swept through the audience when the curtain rose before the third dance, revealing a backdrop of red and green waves of color-arrested my attention more than the choreography of the dances themselves, which often became hypnotic in the monotony of their movement.

If he or she detects a murmur or if you develop significant shortness of breath, you will have to have an ultrasound examination of the heart called an echocardiogram to determine whether you need further medical attention. If there is a valve problem, you may have to take antibiotics before undergoing certain procedures, such as teeth cleaning, that increase the risk that bacteria could enter your bloodstream...
...contrast, most of Cale's songs were much older, coming from his '70s albums. Despite their age, though, the songs were new to a large portion of the audience and a surprised murmur spread through the crowd as Cale sat before his keyboard and began to sing Elvis's "Heartbreak Hotel" to his own classical composition. As one of the best classically trained musicians ever to play rock, Cale excels in playing his compositions...
