Charm's Chatter
Ella Konik, 1993-2008
Posted on: 09-10-2008Ella Guinevere Konik died peacefully last night at home in her bed, surrounded by family. She was close to 15 1/2. Frank Sinatra once told an interviewer, "They say you only live once. But if you have a life like mine, once is enough." Ella's time on Earth was like that. A white-lab and greyhound mutt, she was adopted at 3 months and spent much of her adult years spreading joy. Ella was a licensed therapy dog and the subject of the book "Ella in Europe" and the Animal Planet TV show "Ella & Me." She was friends with everyone, a beautiful soul encased in white fur. We miss her terribly.Thankful
Posted on: 07-25-2008I was reminded tonight how extremely grateful I am for the many blessings I've received since I started this adventurous exploration of the world of music. All the successes I've earned are because of the hard work of many people -- the devotion, love and endless support of family, friends and musical family. I would like to express tonight, once again, my gratitude to all of you. Ang lahat ng ito ay dahil sa inyo.
Lubos Na Nagpapasalamat,
Charmaine Clamor
Harana Project Completed!
Posted on: 07-09-2008I am so excited! We just completed our harana project; it's mastered and ready for the factory. The album is composed of the most precious harana (serenade songs) from different regions in the Philippines, sung in at least 8 dialects and languages. Different indigenous instruments were used as well. I collaborated with Naxos recording artist, Richard Ickard, and have Mon David, the 2006 London International Jazz Vocal Competition Winner, as a special guest. I cannot wait to share this album with you (and the fabulous photos, too!). Look for the CD in October of 2008.Miami, Florida Here I Come!
