Freddie Kissoon and Johnny Braff

For sure young Guyanese would not know who Charles Aznavour is. I doubt whether many Guyanese, of whatever age, would be familiar with Charles Aznavour. But he is one of France’s most admired and loved icons. He was one of my favourite singers since my young days. It is simply indescribable to hear him sing English songs with a French accent. His top international hit is, “Yesterday When I Was Young.”

When I left my interview with Johnny Braff, I dropped off his friend to his hotel and drove home. While driving, my mind went immediately to Charles Aznavour’s autobiographical reflection. It was a painful interview with the Guyanese superstar of yesterday.  Continue reading →

66 Old Movie Dance Scenes Mashup – Mark Ronson Uptown Funk ft Bruno Mars
Published on Nov 20, 2015  – Note: *** For Movie names click CC on video***

Michael Binder is what you would call a “movie aficionado” through and through. He’s probably watched just about every single movie you’ve ever heard of, twice. In fact, Binder loves movies so much that he’s managed to make a career writing about them and talking about them for his hundreds of followers.
