Hello Evelyn,

Oooh yes, I have had rhubarb and strawberry pie at restaurants, I forgot about this combination, it has been quite awhile though. The strawberries did tone down the tartness of the rhubarb.

I will have to look for rhubarb now in the grocers, hopefully I will find a bunch, and try out the recipe.

Mike and Amanda, I did a search and came up with a recipe for a Strawberry Rhubarb pie with a 5 star rating and rave reviews from the Food Network. I've never tried this combination since finding out as a child that rhubarb wasn't a dish I liked but with the added strawberries it might be something to consider. I also saw where rhubarb is a seasonal plant but it is also grown year round in hothouses. The name of this pie is Grandma's Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie and includes the pie crust recipe too.

Hi Amanda,
The next time that you are at the grocery store, usually like a large grocery store like you would find in WalMart, check out the vegetable section. Rhubarb is one of those items that fit into both the fruit category as well as the vegetable category. Remember to discard the leaves as they can be toxic. The Ryman I don't believe is out on the market as yet, as the girl singing it is a studio performer and Karen is looking for someone to sing the song where an artists name can be played on the song as well as Karen's name as the song-writer. She is in the prossess of doing that now. I heard from her a few minutes ago. She is in Iowa and found out that it is snowing in Minnesota. Therefore, she will find a place to stay in Iowa overnight and head home in the morning. She said something about a large Antique shop that she will be browsing through first. When anyone mentions Antique to Shirley she points at me and says, "I already have one."
GOD BLESS YOU
~Mike~

Myrna that was a beautiful song by a great little lady. I first saw her on the TV show, America's Got Talent. Such a talent for one so young. Thanks for posting this. :)

I bet your mom was an exceptional cook too.

Know what Amanda, I can't sing but I can talk. LOL!! Don't you think it would be neat to record ourselves, maybe saying hello to everyone or telling a little bit about ourselves? Then everyone could hear your Kiwi accent and my southern accent. I have found it so strange when talking with people down here in SW Florida, they'll say where are you from, what is that accent? I have even had people say, I bet you're from Tennessee. I guess it is more pronounced than I realized and evidently more unique, not sure the word "unique' is the word I'm looking for but hopefully you understand what I'm trying to say.

We'll have to see if Roger will also sing us a song with his British accent.

Hello Miguel,
Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed listening to you sing. I liked your accent in there too :)

When I read everyone writing in english it is often forgotten that we all have different accents when we speak.

Hi Mary Evelyn,

Mike recently suggested that I post some of my recordings in your forum and while I still don't have any of them as a YouTube video, I do have
in its original format this gem of a song created by George Gershwin that I would be happy you and your visitors hear (http://www.singsnap.com/karaoke/r/c297546c4).

I hope it is okay with you.

Thank you,

Miguel

Hello Myrna,

This young lady has an exceptional voice and so mature that at first because I was not watching the video, just listening I thought it was an elder woman and was surprised it was the young voice whom talked at the beginning, and whom I could hardly hear what she was saying - like two different people.

I am not sure if I like the maturity her singing teacher has put into her coaching. It kind of reminded me of 'tots and tiaras' little children dressed up as adults - it just does not blend well.

Evelyn,

Oh yes, you have delightful southern accent.
I have neighbours here who were from Virginia and I had to really listen because their accent is hard to understand - I am much better now as I have been here for over a year and got use to them.

Some accents are just harder to understand than others, yet they so many of the people I speak with are from around here - it is quite astonishing to me that it can be different.

What method would you suggest I use to record and upload?
We need some suggestions what works the best in here.

I have heard Roger sing before, I have heard many Pomes (People of Mother England) voices over the years.
