Linda Ronstadt awarded National Medal of Arts for "one-of-a-kind of voice"

[caren]

After listening her song, "Blue Bayou" (below), she indeed has "one kind of
a voice". She has a voice that has a lot of sympathetic frequencies and a
lot of sympathetic tones that resonance and dance around in her. Sadly, her
voice is now silenced by Parkinson disease.

Linda Ronstadt Reveals What Life Is Like After Singing Silenced By
Parkinson's Disease:
"Last August, Ronstadt, now 68, announced that she was no longer able to
sing, citing the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. She told AARP that she now
uses poles to help her walk on uneven ground, and uses a wheelchair when
traveling. She had stopped performing publicly in 2011." "I really get it
now, what it means to be disabled," she said, describing how she becomes
exhausted merely brushing her teeth". "The singer said that her Parkinson's
disease "affected my voice first, I think.

"And I think I started having it in about the year 2000. It took away the
sheen of all the beautiful kind of resonance that people have in human
voices when they sing. There's a whole lot of notes that dance around. There
are a lot of sympathetic frequencies, a lot of sympathetic tones that dance
around. That was gone."

Linda Ronstadt, born in Tucson, Arizona!!!
My beloved state, my favorite city!!!

[wakal...@yahoo.com.sg]

Although I like Ronstadt's hit songs, the reason cited for the medal is absurd.

Rst, why did you leave Tuscan?

Although my son's in-laws live in Tuscany, I have never been there.
They tell me it's beautiful country, I'm too old to travel.

Well, it's a way to honor a person's life.

Well, there are two reasons why you'll never be in Tuscany:

* Dr. Roberto Buonamici is very angry with you because you misused your skyping time with Luca and Valentina. He goes nuclear at the very mention of your name. If he actually sees you in Tuscany, Dr. Roberto Buonamici will probably have you sodomized with a nuclear fel rod.

* Yale Guen Mar, how will you go to Tuscany? You can't fly because you have been on the no-fly list of all airlines since that fiasco in 2010 when you had to be sent back to Merced, CA caged inside a freight train.

How do we "honor" a problem like Yale Guen Mar?

Brenton and Carlton are quite merciful. They spank Yale Guen Mar whenever he gets caught doing mischief and give him a time-out when he has to spend time sitting alone on his red sofa.

Yale Guen Mar, you should go to Tucson, AZ more often. Visit the tombs of Tony Chee Mar and Kim Hi Wong at East Palm Cemetery in Lot 49.

If you go ther on special days like the Quingming Festival, the Double Nine Festival and the Ghost Festival, you might get to meet your siblings Donald, Ellen and Eugene. You might even meet not just Brenton, Luca and Valentina but even Silvia and May Fung.

Tucson is a city of over half a million people, the home of the University of Arizona, very hot in the summer, and cold in the winter.

Arizona is a southern state. Before the Brown vs Board of education decision, the state separate Whites from Mexicans in schools. Native American Indians are in Reservations. Blacks are in their section of town...

No kidding !!

But the fact remains that if Dr. Roberto Buonamici ever catches you in Tuscany, he will get you sodomized with a nuclear fuel rod.

You should visit Tucson, AZ to do the needful at the tombs of Kim Hi Wong and Tony Chee Mar.

But if you are in a mood to relive old times, go to Phoenix and visit 914 10th Street.

Yale Guen Mar, 914 10th Street in Phoenix should have been like your home. Instead you chose to make it a storage place for your contrabands.

Yale Guen Mar, can't you ever get over the loss of your gun collection, photos of your favorite pigs and your short-wave radio? Donald and Eugene were only trying to protect you from yourself.

Yale Guen Mar, you are being grossly unfair to your brothers Eugene Yale Mar and Donald Yale Mar. They were achievers. The only reason they got rid of your gun collection, short-wave radio and the photos of your favorite pigs was to save you from yourself.

Quit holding grudges against Donald and Eugene, Get their help to cope with your problems.

Funeral rites for an elderly person follow the prescribed form and convey relevant respect: rites befitting the person's status, age etc. are performed even if this means the family of the deceased must go into debt to pay for them.

Ben Shee Mar and Susan Suye Oy Wong were fortunate to be honored at their burial by their children and grandchildren. They lie buried side by side in Duncanville, Texas.

Nephew Yale Guen Mar was not welcome at the funerals by the Mar clan, and for understandable reasons.

But then Yale Guen Mar wasn't welcome at the funerals of his parents Tony Chee Mar and Kim Hi Wong either. No one wanted him at the funerals.

At Qingming Festival every year, Homer Yale Mar and his siblings pay respect to their parents Ben Shee Mar and Susan Suey Oy Wong, and all relatives and ancestors who have passed away. They spend time tidying up the graves and tombstones of Ben Shee Mar and Susan Suey Oy Wong. They offer food, flowers and paper money to their ancestors.

In stark contrast, Yale Guen Mar spends time sulking about times when he got thrashed by his father Tony Chee Mar and mother Kim Hi Wong for misbehavior.

Tony Chee Mar and Ben Shee Mar were twins.

Tony Chee Mar married Kim Hi Wong. They had lasting regrets about son Yale Guen Mar who gave them only grief.

Tony Chee Mar (1915-1999) was born in 1915, to Hall T. Mar(Chan) and Choi Kang Ma.

Tony married Kim Hi Wong. They had 5 children: Eugene Yale Mar, Yale Guen Mar, Donald Yale Mar and 2 other children.

Tony passed away in 1999, at age 84 in Arizona.

Yale Guen Mar was not allowed at the funeral because no one wanted him there.

Tony Chee Mar and Kim Hi Wong were good parents. They did everything possible for Yale Guen Mar. Unfortunately, Yale Guen Mar was a very bad son. He continued to wallow in selfishness and utter stupidity.

Yale Guen Mar, you used to lie to your parents, uncle and aunt. And now you lie on the newsgroup. Yale Guen Mar, you are all sleaze with not an iota of any redeeming feature.

Yale Guen Mar was a bad son from day one. He was not welcome at the funerals of his uncle and aunt abd even at the funerals of his own parents.

To put Yale Guen Mar's villainy in perspective, no one in the Mar clan wanted Yale Guen Mar to attend the funerals of Yale Guen Mar's Uncle (his father's twin brother) some 30 years ago. The pattern was repeated at the funeral of Yale Guen Mar's aunt about half-a-dozen years ago. No one in the Mar clan could stand the thought of Yale Guen Mar being at the funeral. So, cousin Yue Chung Mar very plainly told Yale Guen Mar that he was not welcome.

Yale Guen Ma was a bad son right from his birth !!

A bad mother is a rarity. A bad son a far more common occurrence. Yale Guen Mar is of course trying to shift the blame on his mother. But it is obvious that it is Yale Guen Mar who was always at fault.


Yale Guen Mar never supported his parents financially or otherwise.. It was the parents who indulged Yale Guen Mar when they allowed him to retain his room in their house long after he was no longer a minor.

Yale Guen Mar lost his room only when his 3 siblings put an end to the indulgence. They got rid of everything that Yale Guen Mar had stored in t hat room, including his collection of his semen-stained photos of his favorite pigs.

No one in the Mar family (including the 3 siblings) wants to remember Yale Guen Mar, and understandably so. Yale Guen Mar was specifically told by family members that he was not welcome at the funeral of his own parents, let alone at the funerals of cousin Yue Chung Mar's parents.

Yale Guen Mar is hated by everyone in the Mar clan and rightly so.

For you, the most important place in Tucson, AZ should be Lot 49 at the East Palm Cemetery.

Do the needful by taking care of the tombs of Kim Hi Wong and Tony Chee Mar. Sweep the place, clean the tombstones, offer flower, food and paper money. And don't forget to burn incense sticks.

Most of all get to meet relatives who visit the place regularly - your siblings Donald, Ellen and Eugene, also Brenton, Luca and Valentina, even Silvia and May Fung.

Why is that, Yale Guen Mar? Did no dog chase you in Tucson, AZ as you get chased in Merced, CA ?
