5-Year Old Julian Pavone, The World's Youngest Drummer, To Perform At Benefit Concert For Children's Hospital
Saturday, 13 March 2010 00:00

WILLIAMSBURG, VA. (Top40 Charts/ Harmonie Network) - Julian Pavone, "The World's Youngest Drummer and Inventor!" will perform live at a benefit concert for Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters on Sunday, March 21, 2010. Doraldo Ristorante Italiano of Williamsburg, Virginia, has partnered with the hospital to host this inaugural fundraising event. Doraldo's founder, Charlie Messina, knew his cousin Julian would also support this wonderful cause. Charlie envisioned his venue, combined with Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters cause and Julian's participation would lead to an incredible event.

Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters leads the region as the preferred provider of quality children's health services.
Doraldo exemplifies southern Italian dining at its finest. With its "villagio" style, Doraldo makes patrons feel as if they have just entered an Italian village.

Julian is considered a musical prodigy by many. Joe Billingslea, who founded THE CONTOURS, likens Julian to a "modern Stevie Wonder" and thinks the kid has "serious soul." He was offered a contract to be a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers' Drumline at age 15 months (the youngest member by 16 years!). Then, at 20 months, Julian recorded a CD, "Go Baby!," with legendary bassist Ralphe Armstrong. Since then, he has received worldwide media coverage with more than 10,000 newspaper and magazine articles published about him.

He has also appeared on more than 100 Television and News shows, including "The Oprah Winfrey Show," "Good Morning America," "The Maury Show," "Martha Stewart" and many more. He has also starred in a television show pilot, "Finding Julian's Band," created by Rocky Seprino and had a documentary about him produced by Korea's Seoul Broadcasting Systems.

He invented and received a patent for "Abracadabra" Stain Cover-up, now also making him "The World's Youngest Inventor!" His SECOND invention, "Julian's Drum Gloves," is patent pending.

He has received numerous honors and awards, including "Maury's Most Talented Kid" of 2009 and "The 2007 Rock and Roll Lifetime Achievement Award." He is featured in "Ripley's Believe it or Not" and included in the Guinness Book of World Records as a performer in "The Longest Concert by Multiple Artists." He is an Honorary Goodwill Ambassador for Muscular Dystrophy Association and The Miracle League of Michigan.

Multi-award winning production company, WonderWorld Entertainment, signed the prodigy drummer to 13 television episodes. Julian will star in and co-host the show, "All You Need Is Music," with Michael J. Powell (4-time Grammy Award winning producer).

Most recently, Motown music icons, The Contours with Joe Billingslea, best known for their 1962 hit "Do You Love Me," have added Julian to their group. Julian will be singing, dancing, drumming, and touring with members, Joe Billingslea, Charles Davis, Al Chisholm, Gary Grier and Odell Jones.

About Lee Hall

Built between 1851 and 1859, Lee Hall Mansion was home to affluent planter Richard Decauter Lee, his wife Martha and their children. One of the last remaining antebellum homes on the Virginia Peninsula, Lee Hall offers visitors a step back to the mid-Victorian period with its authentically furnished rooms, including an elegant ladies parlor. During April and May of 1862, the home was used as a headquarters by Confederate generals Joseph E. Johnston and John B. Magruder. Hundreds of artifacts, including a tablecloth from the USS Monitor, are on display in the museum's 1862 Peninsula Campaign Gallery. Special events and evening programs are held year-round.

Experience Vinyasa Yoga in Williamsburg
Saturday, 13 March 2010 00:00

chaterangaVinyasa (pron. vin-yaah-sa) is derived from the Sanskrit term nyasa, which means "to place," and the prefix vi, "in a special way"-as in the linking of one yoga pose to the next. In the yoga world the most common understanding of vinyasa is as a flowing sequence of specific yoga poses coordinated with the movements of the breath and gets you from pose to pose. The practice becomes a flow timed to the breath instead of just a series of discrete postures. The vinyasa gives rhythm to the practice, keeps the heat building, builds upper body strength and acts as a counterpose to stretch the legs and re-set the spine to neutral for the next sequence.

What can I expect in a Vinyasa Yoga class?
Expect a energetic flow style practice with different poses each time and lots of emphasis on the breath. It is a very dynamic, rigorous, and transformative practice. With regular practice you'll quickly develop strength, endurance and mental focus over time.


Hands down - the best place in town for Vinyasa Yoga is Body Balance Studio on Mclaws Circle. 75-minute Vinyasa classes are offered 6 days a week, both mornings and evening classes are available. Click here to view a full schedule.
