Shyvi "Lost Her Head" Joey was "Concerned"

Image
  Shyvi became known on the internet for her game play of Diner Dash in 2018 as well as other games like Super Mario, Roger Wilco, and Pokémon. The public is "aware" of her but a few years back in 2020 she was in a fuss with Joey Sharp a scene creator on YouTube. Joey questioned the authenticity of her subscribers. Spammers such as the notorious banana guy often popped up on her clips with a quick note like "great job" or "I like it." Joey looked at her gathering of 6k and said, "I don't think this is real." Shyvi snapped back with a quiet "my viewers are ghosts and I'm going to tell my mom, the president of YouTube."   Joey ignored these threats, not making a reply in the comments and there wasn't much hype around the story after that moment. Joey refused to make a reply to the story. He was caught running away from flashing cameras in Milly's shades. "Shyvi has a problem, she may be schizophrenic," Joey quipp

Jill Corey

 She was born a coal miner's daughter in Avonmore, Pennsylvania and was featured in Life Magazine. Overnight, Jill Corey was a star. Her producer was to be Mitch Miller who produced for many pop singers in the 1950s like Patti Page, Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, Richard Hayes, Kitty Kallen, and Frankie Laine.   Jill Corey was an Italian girl, born Norma Jean Speranza, she joked about introducing herself back in the business by her full name to see if she could get a job. But in the fifties, she was made famous for her contralto voice. She had a tape recorder in her home and as trains went by, she made a demonstration record for Mitch Miller 'Artists and Repertory' of Colombia. Life Magazine flew over to take photos of her while holding a bag of groceries and to write a seven-page article. She became a regular on the Johnny Carson comedy variety show in California. She became the youngest girl to sing at the Copacabana, and then went on to sing at the blue angel.   Jill h

Don't Take It Out On Me - Dennis Dorr & A Triangle

Image
 At age 22, Bobbi was ready to go into the teen market. It had been a year almost since the success of the country flavored "Don't Forget I Still Love You." Bobbi wanted to do something more than the country/adult standards that was in her recording material. She needed a teen rocker to hit the top 40 radio charts.   Once again Dennis was waiting in the wings to help her reach that goal. They got together and went through a stack of demos and tapes until they came upon, "Don't Take It Out on Me." A brill building style / northern soul number, "like Motown," Dennis says. It was written by Richie Adams who wrote "Tossin' and Turnin' a #1 in 1961.   Henry insisted on her doing the old songs, often and tried to persuade her away from this one. "Are you sure you want to do this?" "Yes," Bobbi said with a frown. "It would be good for her," says Miriam. "Ok, I'll get Burt De Coteaux." Burt was an ar

Broke First In Pittsburgh - Dennis Dorr & Don't Forget I Still Love You

Image
   When Dennis Dorr first heard the recording of "I'll Never Stop Loving You," (a remake of the Doris day song) he was surprised to have found the voice of one of the finest vocalists, Bobbi Martin. He wrote her a fan letter, and to his surprise she replied, many times and they became fast friends.   Dennis was born outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where coal mines were the big thing. And as a kid, he was interested in radio. There was already a sound and a few record labels to come out of the area. One of the first 45's he ever bought was a cover of "Ivory Tower" by Gale Storm. His interest in radio increased as a teen and was how he discovered or fell upon Bobbi Martin in 1963. He was acquaintances with the local DJ and the next year Bobbi would be down to her 10th and last single on Coral records. Bobbi was in need of a hit, even though she received a fair amount of airplay on the east coast and Canada, she had not made a chart success, yet.      &quo

Skip E. Lowe (a short bio)

 Sammy Labella- born on June 6, 1929, in Mississippi and raised in Rockford, Illionois was a kid who did not fit in with others. He was a victim of severe bullying for liking to dress up and play make believe. So, with his mother he moved to Hollywood to become a child actor. He was signed on MGM and in films Best Foot Forward with Lucille Ball, and Song of the Open Road with Jane Powell as one of the kid's picking oranges in the fruit trees. On the set of “Forever Amber,” he met friend Cornel Wilde.    Sammy left Hollywood for New York to work in the follies with his aunt during the last days of vaudeville. His act was a song and dance routine where he was known as “the singing newsboy.” It was lighthearted feature where he dressed up in a rumpled turtleneck, dirty tennis shoes, tilted baseball cap, a grin, and a stack full of newspapers draped over his shoulders.   Then Sammy began to work in clubs and strip joints as a stand-up comic.  Skip was an emcee for many gigs across the

The Shyvi Girl

Image
 You, the reader, probly never heard the name of this unknown shy girl. She’s a friend of mine, (my best friend on the internet) and that has meant a lot to me. Shyvi began her gaming and art design career as a YouTuber in 2011 while she was a schoolgirl and continued into her adult life. She began with playing games like Pokémon and Mario Cart, but perhaps became most well-known by her fans for her gameplay of the diner dash games by Playfirst. What made Shyvi stand out as a gamer was her act for being funny and easy laid-back personality. She brings a fun and chill atmosphere to her videos. She is suddenly extremely loud and then pulls it back to being calm and shy again. That is when her name comes in.   Shyvi is a shy girl. I have known her for four years believe it or not. As long as a presidential term. Me and her could've almost been on the bill for the 2020 election as crazy as the situations were around our meeting and the year. Shyvi was starstruck by worldwide acclaim wh

Ultraviolence

 ‘Cruel World’ is a fantastic opener to this psychedelic rock album by Lana Del Rey. It is one of the best rock songs I’ve ever heard. I’ll never forget listening to this album in the summer of 2014 when it was realeased. I never listened to rock music like this before and it made me feel free, wild, and insane. But the album was incredibly dark and at the time I was beginning to become more depressed as a teenager.  This album I listened to in my dads office that summer. I remember this so specifically. ‘Ultraviolence’ is a violent track and considered a codependent abusive song. Lana gives the song a catholic churchy vibe in the music video to portray her religion. Lana  Del Rey can be seen wearing a white wedding dress with a veil and a bouquet of flowers in her hands, wandering around an outside setting and later entering a church. It was seen by critics as a sickly positive outlook of domestic violence, but this is only in the moment, not meant to be upon looking back. Lana is tel

Sandy Posey - a real pal

Image
 Sandy Posey became my favorite singer when I was in summer school, the year of 2015. In my sophomore year of high school, the first song I ever heard by Sandy Posey was Single Girl in the cold snowy winter of '15. I was not a fan upon hearing it, the song lyrics were simple, more like bubble gum pop to me. But later in the spring I heard “Born A Woman” and it was an instant favorite for me. I loved the lyrics, even though it was painful. I was in love with the sound. I had never heard a sound better than that of country-pop.   That summer, I realized I was not so taken back by the pre-feminism. I was used to being a traditional guy. I liked the housewives and the life of a mother. But the career girl life was being expressed by sandy as well. She was every woman, a sixties prodigy. I listened to her songs, her albums, and read everything I could find about her.   My favorite was “I take it back,” “bread and butter,” and “something I’ll remember.” Sandy had three songs that went to
