I love the relaxing sounds of Sergio Mendez. This would be great for a summer roadtrip.
LOVE exploring new music & introducing myself to new creative sounds! Thanks for considering!!
I am always looking for new music
He’s so upbeat! Need that on days when I’m housecleaning and require some oomph in my ears to get the job done 🙂
I would love to listen to it!
I would like to win this for brother.
We listen to a variety of music and are always looking for something upbeat. I love the fact that Sergio has some great pieces that are CLEAN, upbeat and just plain fun. This would be great to add to our playlists and CD collection!
As a middle school general music teacher, I feel that I could use this CD in either a Latin or Jazz music unit, if not both. I haven’t heard of Sergio Mendes before, but I would definitely be interested in having a listen and seeing how and if it could work in my curriculum.
Hi Beeb,
Copy from Growmap. Didn’t know where else to leave this.
However, I fully support Leone on this. Either all go to moderation or you let all through.
Anything else just tells me that you don’t know how to treat folks. I know my mama would have grounded me for a week for using the excuse of personal convenience to throw others in the dirt.
Leone said on Growmap about your comment regarding “unfortunately there is no alternative but to trash some folks.”:
There is understanding and then there is UNDERSTANDING.
The key is TO TREAT EVERYONE WELL.
Personal convenience does not (or should not) even come into the picture.
In other words, it doesn’t matter whether there is a spam filter that is 100% accurate or not.
A professional business person, and/or a person who refuses to let others be abused in his/her name, won’t install anything that violates the principle of cordiality.
Even though I am not a practicing Christian or anything else, some people who brag about their Church participation turn right around and start throwing people in the street on their blog, in complete violation of the ethics of their religion, and they just don’t seem to understand that.
If someone asks the public for comments on their blog, and when someone leaves a heartfelt comment as a result of that invitation, there should never be a chance that that person will be trashed.
Beeb, if you are saying that ALL comments go to moderation, that is acceptable.
But, to have back to back comments treated differently is rude and a violation of every possible rule of proper social behavior.
We don’t slap one person and kiss the next indiscriminately, no matter what.
It’s bad for business, and it’s bad for peace on Earth.
Leone

Hi Stetson – I’m editing your comment to leave my reply since this was posted on a giveaway. I appreciate you taking the time to comment; it’s not a matter of convenience, but sheer logistics. My blog gets hundreds and hundreds of comments because I run many contests, and it would take me hours to moderate them all.
It simply isn’t feasible, and since I’m unwilling to expose my readers to offensive spam messages, I chose to install Akismet. I let my readers know above the comment box that comments occasionally go into moderation, since no spam filter – be it on my website or on my email – is 100% accurate. I check the spam filter daily and have found that I get around 1 incorrectly moderated comment for every hundred or more actual spam. There is no perfect system, but this is the best one available to me. Thanks for stopping by!
I never heard of Sergio Mendes, but listed on amazon and liked the music. Thanks!
I’m old that is why I have loved Sergio Mendes with Brazil’66, and ’77. and then lost track of him. It is great to know he is alive and back.
his music always reminds me of summer and vacation
I love to listen to Sergio Mendez.
I GFC follow you
One of my favorire songs is Sergio Mendes’ “Alibis”!
I’d like to win this album because I’m a longtime fan of Sergio Mendez and his music.

Serial advertising is something new and quite surprisingly, various outdoor advertisers
