Chick Corea
Armando Anthony "Chick" Corea (born June 12, 1941) is an American jazz and fusion pianist, keyboardist, and composer.
Many of his compositions are considered jazz standards. As a member of Miles Davis' band in the late 1960s, he participated in the birth of the electric jazz fusion movement. In the 1970s he formed Return to Forever. Along with Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, and Keith Jarrett, he has been described as one of the major jazz piano voices to emerge in the post-John Coltrane era.
Corea continued to pursue other collaborations and to explore various musical styles throughout the 1980s and 1990s. He is also known for promoting and fundraising for a number of social issues.
Life and career
Youth
Armando Corea was born in Chelsea, Massachusetts. He is of southern Italian and Spanish descent. His father, a jazz trumpet player who had led a Dixieland band in Boston in the 1930s and 1940s, introduced him to the piano at the age of four. Growing up surrounded by jazz music, he was influenced at an early age by bebop and stars such as Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Horace Silver, and Lester Young. At eight Corea also took up drums, which would later influence his use of the piano as a percussion instrument.

M&M's
M&M's (styled as m&m's) are "colorful button-shaped chocolates" produced by Mars, Incorporated and similar to and inspired by Smarties. The candy shell, each of which has the letter "m" printed in lower case on one side, surrounds a filling which varies depending upon the variety of M&M's. The original candy had a milk chocolate filling which, upon introducing other variations, was branded as the "plain" variety. "Peanut" M&M's, which feature a peanut coated in milk chocolate, and finally a candy shell, were the first variation to be introduced, and they remain a regular variety. Numerous other variations have been introduced, some of which are regular widespread varieties (such as "peanut butter", "almond", "pretzel", "crispy", and "dark chocolate"), while others are limited in duration or geographic availability.
M&M's originated in the United States in 1941, and are now sold in as many as 100 countries. More than 400 million individual M&M's are produced every day in the United States. They are produced in different colors, some of which have changed over the years. The candy-coated chocolate concept was inspired by a method used to allow soldiers to carry chocolate without having it melt. The company's longest-lasting slogan reflects this: "Melts in your mouth, not in your hand."
Mem
Mem (also spelled Meem or Mim) is the thirteenth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician Mēm 
, Hebrew Mēm מ, Aramaic Mem 
, Syriac Mīm ܡܡ, and Arabic Mīm م. Its value is [m].
The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek Mu (Μ), Etruscan 
, Latin M, and Cyrillic М.
Origins
Mem is believed to derive from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water,
which had been simplified by the Phoenicians and named after their word for water, mem (
), ultimately coming from Proto-Semitic *maʾ-/*may-.
Hebrew Mem
Hebrew spelling: מֵם
Hebrew pronunciation
Mem represents a bilabial nasal [m].
Variations on written form/pronunciation
In Hebrew, Mem, like Kaph, Nun, Pe, and Tzadi, has a final form, used at the end of words: its shape changes from מ to ם.
Significance
In gematria, Mem represents the number 40 in both the Standard and Mispar Gadol Methods of Gematria; However, (mem sofit) final mem's value is 40 in the Standard Method and 600 in the Mispar Gadol method. The Standard Method adds the values of Tav and Resh (400+200) to denote the value of mem sofit.

Sometime Ago
by: Chick CoreaSometime ago
I had a dream
It was happy it was lasting it was free
And now in life
Oh can't you see
How we can make that dream into reality
And all the music
it was playing
and all the firelight
it was dancing
And all the children
they were singing
And all the people
they were loving
Sometime ago
I had a dream
It was happy it was lasting it was free
And now in life
Oh can't you see
How we can make that dream into reality
And all the morning sun
it was soft and cool
All the evening breeze
it was warm and gold
All together life had started to unfold
