Denise Thimes - An Artisty Aria of Soulful Sound

Who is Denise Thimes?
By: Merle E. Givens - Artistry Boulevard

Denise Thimes is a local St. Louis jazz vocalist and pianist, I recently learned about, through a relative of mine.  And, I in my search for St. Louis Jazz artists find her sound to be a tonal tiffany of soul with a bluesy and catchy style.  She sings as if experiencing each song, as she puts her heart into the aria of her beautiful voice.

Experience the soulful sound of Denise Thimes singing at Harris Stowe University, show on YouTube video by DrDonwolff.

Animoto Art through a Video

Photo Collages Easy to Make

Today I found an awesome way to create my own home videos for my pictures I want to share. I tried making my first video on their site at Animoto.com.  You can make free videos of 30 seconds long for your own personal use.  

A great way to try it out this is and the experiences from seeing your photos come to life are so nice.  I just finished making my first video with this software and I put it on the site here down below the blog for you to see my results.  I am new to this so bear with my quality of my pictures.  I did not enhance my pictures but, it turned out looking great for what I had to use of my own stuff. Take a look and see what you think.   

Thanks to seeing this information on AJGodinho’s page. http://www.squidoo.com/animoto-turns-pictures-into-music-videos
