Found: Missing Piece Of The Puzzle

I love the band Journey. Steve Perry's soaring tenor voice sends chills up my spine. This morning I was watching CBS Sunday Morning and saw a piece about how Journey had found a new lead vocalist by taking a midnight surf on Y*u*Tube.

His name is Arnel Pineda and believe it or not, even though he looks 20, he is 41 years old! His story is an inspiring one, from being homeless to fronting one of the best known bands around with a voice that, I have to say, is almost a perfect rendition of Steve Perry. I'd buy their new album. Judge for yourself.

Some Wednesday Cuteness

My daughter brought this video to my attention several weeks ago. She knows what big Beatles fans my husband and I are. I decided to share it because it is just so darn cute. Enjoy.

Piano Man

Mom, Sonya and Laura, this is for you. Enjoy.

Letters From War

I am so grateful to our military men and women. We have several members of our extended family and some friends in service and some over in Iraq. For some reason these folks have been on my mind more than usual the past few days. My prayers go out for them. I remembered this touching video I saw several months back and decided to share it. Enjoy it and remember to say a prayer for our men and women in the armed services.

What I Saw: Doobie Brothers

I have been so lucky this summer to get to go to some great concerts. Last night we saw the Doobie Brothers. It was fantastic! If you get a chance to see them go!

After the concert we had the chance to meet them. I wasn't sure about posting this picture of me. I've managed to keep my picture off the blog so far. It was very hot outside and my hair was doing it's own thing, so it isn't the best picture. I'm taking the plunge anyway because how many times do you get your picture taken with a Doobie Brother?!

Pictures: #1: Back drop on stage.

#2 pic: Patrick Simmons doing his thing.

February Song In July

OK, I'll admit it. I have quite a crush on Josh Groban. I mean he is just so darn cute and his voice is so fantastic and he is...young enough to be my son! YIKES!

Seriously, he is a great singer and performer. So go over there to the sidebar and stop my music, then watch this video. It is one of my very favorites.
