LONDON, Oct. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ Pink Floyd's David Gilmour and Ginger Gilmourmarried on a bright sunny day in England during the recordings of 'Wish You Were Here'. This book, published by Angelscript, is a collection of stories told by Ginger Gilmour in her own words titled 'Memoirs of the Bright Side of the Moon'.

Writer/vocalist Amanda McBroom is something of a wonder. The artist manages to be both lyrical and plain spoken, urbane and universal, polished and genuine, vulnerable and gutsy. Her sharply etched songs illuminate our hearts and minds like artful x-ray. Performance is intimate. McBroom's current show at Feinstein's/54 Below, Up Close and Personal, treats us to material exhumed in an attempt to apply feng shui to her music studio; some rarely heard, a few with the ink barely dry, and a familiar anthem.

Casting for Barbra Streisand's new GYPSY film is starting to move beyond rumors and clandestine meetings.
