Army Flag. It your are patriotic and you want to add some nice decor to your front yard, garden, patio, or backyard, consider getting an army flag or two.
Why is the American flag on contemorary army unforms backwards with the blue field on the right?
Isn’t the flag correctly displayed with the blue field on the left?
Well Bill, Im glad you asked. I happen to be in the service myself. Many of my Army counterparts have in fact told me that the reason for this is that when the flag blows in the wind this is the way they are trying to portray it on the service uniforms. So when a soldier is running into battle it represents the colors of the United States of America. Thank you for the question Bill.

Taking influences from Holst and Rachmaninov as much as Steve Reich or William Orbit, this piece is classical in nature, but yet is also immediately identifiable as classic Mike Oldfield.

Mike Oldfield - Music Of The Spheres *

Personnel: Mike Oldfield (classical guitar); Hayley Westenra (vocals); David J. Lyon, Jo West, Louisa Aldridge, Jeremy Morris (violin); Holly Butler, Rachel Robson, Fay Sweet, Edward Vanderspar, Vincent Green, John Thorn, Emma Owens (viola); Chris Fish, Jonny Byers, Chris Worsey (cello); Gareth Davies (flute); Roy Carter (oboe); Gareth Small, Tom Watson (trumpet); Simon Wills (trombone); Joe Walters, Evgeny Chebykin, Peter Francomb (horns); Lang Lang (piano); Steve Henderson (timpani); Sam Walton, Neil Percy, Paul Clarvis, Gary Kettel (percussion); Heather Cairncross, Jacqueline Barron, Nicole Tibbels, Mae McKenna, Mary Carewe , Sarah Eyden (background vocals); The Sinfonia Sfera Orchestra.Audio Mixer: Mike Oldfield.Recording information: EMI Abbey Road Studios, London, England; Legacy Recording Studios, NY.Author: Mike Oldfield.The legendary British composer will always be most identified with his breakthrough long-play composition "Tubular Bells" and the way it was used to illuminate fear in The Exorcist. The happy truth is that since then he`s amassed an incredible catalog of over 20 albums featuring just about every instrumental form but jazz: pop, classical, new age, world music, computer game, film soundtrack, etc. The title of his 2008 45-minute classical-influenced opus Music of the Spheres is a reference to the prolific and eclectic composer`s feeling that all music should aim to represent the spiritual or otherworldly elements of life -- something beyond the mundane and everyday. He accomplishes that via the sheer hypnotic beauty of the gentler passages and the percussive drama of others, both of which characterize the multi-movement opening track, "Harbinger," which lives up to its title as a preview of the overwhelming, ethereal joys to come. Mike Oldfield is a highly accomplished film composer and it would be easy to imagine gorgeous, sweeping pieces like "Animus" and "Silhouette" behind pastoral romantic scenes, and action-packed, percussively dense expressions like "The Tempest" building some heavy suspense for some nail-biting plot. Completely recorded by an orchestra at Abbey Road studios and featuring Oldfield himself on guitar, Music of the Spheres -- which features guest performances by world-renowned young soprano (and Decca labelmate) Hayley Westenra and classical piano phenom Lang Lang -- is huge in scope yet at heart simple and emotionally direct on a purely melodic level. While the piece was entirely conceived, produced, and written by Oldfield, he turned to popular modern classical composer Karl Jenkins to translate his ideas into traditional classical notations arranged for orchestra -- a great departure from the artist`s usual array of studio-only wizardry. Jenkins, who once played oboe on a live BBC recording of "Tubular Bells" in 1975, gets a co-production credit, and with good reason. Oldfield scored his music via a computer program called Logic, while Jenk
