This Life"s Entertainment blog is owned and created by me Gloria Poole,Registered Nurse artist in all mediums, as public service. I had made art to add to it but criminals at remote have been attacking my computer since Thanksgiving day when I logged off and went to my youngest daughter's and her husband's {Leigh & Matt's} for a few hours. I am 99.9% sure the criminal thugs attacking it work for that evil Planned Parenthood murdering consortium who have often tried to ruin me because I OPPOSE their murders of humans-in-the-womb. It is what it is. When old Hillary [who is the "poster woman/mouthpiece for P.P.] and her GOD-forsaken criminal hackers are defeated, the internet will be more user-friendly again. Meanwhile, this blog still belongs to me and I am keeping it. Stroll down to read the music festival news.

This is my selfie as I look today, with brown hair [as always] in a lop-sided ponytail. I am sitting on my sofa in frony of an oil painting I painted that is on my wall in Missouri,.

2) About music festival Firefly: "There’s Bonnaroo down in Tennessee, the notorious Glastonbury, New York’s Governors Ball, and my personal favorite: the four-day Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Delaware." I saved the info as a file for this but the cyber-criminals who are trying to hijack my life are trying to force me to login to an app on THEIR cell phone somewhere but that is NOT going to happen. I am NOT giving criminal thugs my passwords! So you may have to google Firefly festival for how to buy tickets.

3) Oxford UK next yr: http://www.oxfordtimes.co.uk/news/14100354.display/ ; "The two-day Common People festival is expected to bring 25,000 people a day to the Oxford [South] park on May 28 and 29.

5) These are not all of the festivals coming up next year. I didn't make this as thorough as possible because I was upset that criminals have been able to almost hijack 2 of my blogs since last Thursday [Thanksgiving Day, when I was at my daughter's and my apt was empty [I live alone, am divorced] and my computer and modem were both off line, so the hack on it happened to it via "the cloud". Some of the hack has been resolved but I am having to reclaim my blogs from criminal ID thieves.

You can see some of the art I have created on these blogs of mine, which are each unique since I create them one by one:

Country drives to see leaves changing is one of life's entertainments sketch by me Gloria Poole of Missouri

This is a sketch i made to show what millions of people do annually: go on drives into the country to see the spectacular changing of the leaves from green to motley reds, oranges, yellow before the leaves all fall off for the winter. Of course, evergreens are ever green--they do not shed their leaves. It's a fun relaxing day's drive for most people, and something people around the world do this time of year. Also, people often drive into the country or to other places to attend music festivals and helping make public aware of some of those is the purpose of this blog. It is merely a public service. This sketch is on 9 x 12 inch paper and I drew it with oil pastels. I was almost out of turpentine so I did not wash over it with turpentine, just let it with the strokes visible. I made it, signed it, photographed it, uploaded it and posted it to this blog of mine which is true of all art on this blog [or any blog of site OF MINE]. Copyrighted. Scroll of info on music festivals.

Most of the festivals for this year have happened but the ticket sales for next year have begun so I am including some of next year's events; and numbering for ease of reference.

7) "Restless Heart will perform Dec. 5 at the festival in downtown Ida [Michigan] . The new band will “rise above all expectations of another great country concert presented by Meijer,” said Dale Zorn, executive director of the festival. Mr. Zorn said producer Hunter Brucks from Meridian Entertainment Group secured the Restless Heart concert quickly to assure the La-Z-Boy Concert Series would “continue to provide the finest entertainment.” Restless Heart also has seven Country Music Association nominations and four Academy of Country Music nominations. The five original members of Restless Heart “continue to thrill audiences nightly with their award-winning talent,” Mr. Zorn said. The group’s harmonies especially shine through on hits like “I’ll Still Be Loving You,” “Why Does It Have To Be (Wrong or Right),” “Bluest Eyes in Texas” and “Dancy’s Dream.” The band is led by lead vocalist Larry Stewart with Dave Innis on keyboard, Greg Jennings on lead guitar, Paul Gregg on bass and John Dittrich on drums. Together, they bring a “new and contemporary sound to Nashville, a sound characterized by hints of pop and country rock,” Mr. Zorn said. “Restless Heart has put 26 hits on the country charts with six climbing to No. 1 and nine others finding their place in the top 10,” he said.

I do not have any affiliation of any sort with the group iconosquare and do not know who they are but Google alerted me that they are using my real name of Gloria Poole, and putting what may be content they stole from me behind a black screen that requires a log in and registration. I do not put my content behind black screens ever, nor do I require registration to view my content. Also, any content I create can be viewed by anyone of any age in any country.

And I have never authorized any person at any time to act as an agent on my behalf for any reason.

Second notice of copyright infringement and identity theft: Google alerted me that a company that is totally unknown to me stole a graphics file of mine that I made and in which I signed my real name using digital ink and a mouse on a computer software program and I included my Registered Nurse status [licensed in Missouri] and my status as artist and photographer; and that those ID thieves posted that file [or copy of it--I have the original file] to a site they made for p-o-r-n. ALL art that I create is moral and decent and may be viewed by anyone of any age in any country. It is for general audiences.

I am a CHRISTIAN, Bible-believing single-again, white woman and I promote the gospel not evil.

Castle exploring is one of life's entertainments and so are Music festivals

This is a sketch of an idea I would like to see more of: exploring castles as an entertainment. I know Queen Elizabeth II allows vistors to tour Buckingham Palace while she and her husband move temporarily to the Holyrood House castle in Scotland. I also think Vanderbilt castle in Tennessee is open to the public. This sketch is my rendition of an actual castle in Normandy, France. I drew this in ink and then painted it with watercolor, and signed it, photographed it, uploaded it, and posted it to this blog of mine which is intended to be a public service site for information on music, film, live, entertainment that appears to be family friendly and fun.Copyrighted art and photos and my words. The information I post here is from articles sent to my inbox and I am merely helping publicize them, and I include my sources.

Hausa Music Festival of Africa : http://pulse.com.gh/events/new-award-scheme-hausa-music-festival-and-awards-launched-id4212719.html

Happened on 9/29/15 so mark calendar for next year: "Debuting on a farm in Franklin, Tennessee, Pilgrimage Music and Culture Festival was a whole new breed of music fest. Focusing strictly on the genre of Southern music— artists from the South or with Southern musical influences, the festival was a breath of fresh air in a world oozing with Electronic Dance Music.

The festival had a much more mellow vibe than any I had ever attended, partly for their lineup and partly for their “family friendly” theme. Parents brought their children to see classics such as Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow, and Weezer, as well as ride on a new wave of music with bands such as The Lone Bellow, Will Hoge and Birmingham’s own John & Jacob and Saint Paul and the Broken Bones. "http://www.cw.ua.edu/article/2015/09/pilgrimage-festival-is-a-blend-of-southern-influences

Apple Music Festival 2015 happened Sept 2015 so mark your calendars for next year

Note: this took an hour and half to update because criminals at remote broke into it and tried to suppress all content I had added to it. As if photos of flowers that I photographed are somehow radical! Idiots run the internet! All symbols about me in the previous post are still about me but I do not need to add them to every post.

Visit the country festival and help farmers for Life's entertainment

This is a watercolor sketch I made this morning to sort of remind viewers of a farm that is filled with vines such as tomatoes, and squash, and pumpkins, and green beans, etc ,etc, etc. It is watercolor [inktense with wash of water over it] and is on 11 x 14 papr in my sketch book. I, Gloria Poole, made this, signed it , photographed it and uploaded it all today 5 May 2015. And this is to encourage people to attend the festival named "Farmgrass" and the info is in next paragraph.And all of that is because I am a farmer's daughter.

A in the country on the farm festival that is to help farmers: [ a win-win for sure] : "country-folk music is available Sunday at the second annual Farmgrass. Held at Simmons Family Farms, southeast of Austin between Buda and Lockhart,[Texas}...1 p.m. to 9 p.m. farmgrassfest.com. 100 Simmons Family Farm Road, Niederwald. [This weekend I think]
