How to pronounce "Noe"
Some people may wonder how you pronounce this great writer’s name, so I thought I’d inform you:
The name Noe is in the Hebrew portion of the Bible, spelled that way in the old King James version, being the name of Noah. It is the Spanish name for Noah, and turns out, the name is also French and Romanian, at least. Many people we know just call him "Noah", but they’re usually older folks. Some say NO, rhyming with JOE -- not Joey, mind you.
If you wanted to say it properly in these languages, it would be: no-AY … but you know, with that cute little way they pronounce NO, not quite a long OH sound, but I don’t know how to write it. And actually, the “e” is more like “eh” -- take a listen here: pronunciation of Noe.
Or here you can hear it several ways (scroll down to see different countries). This variation in pronunciation can be, to say the least, very confusing! Try doing an Internet search, you’ll find a lot of discussions, because people want to know!
Of course, if you’re from Texas and don’t speak Spanish, you just say: NO-e -- long OH, long E
And now you noe... I mean, know ~

I think my brother Stan has the best way of explaining it to everyone:
“My brother-in-law’s name is A-I-O-U, but we call him NO - E for short.”

Jackie and Anna
I love all kinds of music with the exception of jazz, rap, and heavy metal (or whatever they call that stuff that plays one incessant cord along with some guy screaming instead of singing). Jazz sounds like a group of musicians with ear plugs each doing whatever they very well please. Oh, I know there are some exceptions to this description, where there is what can be called a melody, but by and large the three genres I mentioned just sound like so much noise to me. Every rap song sounds the same, except there are different words.
Now that I have gotten that off my chest, there are two young girls whose musical talents boggle my mind. They are Jackie Evancho and Anna Graceman. The girls are about the same age, which is around eleven or twelve.
Jackie is probably better known than Anna, since she has appeared on many shows and has already sold millions of recordings. I don’t think there is a time I have listened to her sing that I was not really moved by her voice.
Anna Graceman not only has an incredible singing voice, but I believe if what is said about her is true, she is far more talented. In fact, I would say she is as much a prodigy as Mozart. What I mean is, she is credited with writing all the music and lyrics to her songs, and if you were to listen to her songs and not hear the sound of brilliance, I would be shocked.
Thanks to Youtube, people from everywhere can hear the most amazingly talented individuals like Jackie and Anna, whereas in Mozart's day only a very few could hear him and the other talents of his day.

Original poem: From Noe to wife and son
The girl with green eyes set in gold
The boy with brown eyes set in innocence
Are before my eyes always.
Always I carry the sound of your voices, The color of your hair.
And always, like the pull of the moon on the tides, The two of you draw me home.
