Not so thrilled

What a day. Farrah Faucet and Michael Jackson - and let's not forget Ed McMann yesterday.

When I was a little girl in Michigan my then best friend Brandon used to call me Farrah - he loved Charlies Angels and Chips - I in no way resemble the beautiful star but my name does rhyme and that is what kids do. Every time I hear her name I think of my friendship with those on Barnswood Lane and wonderful memories flood my brain.

Michael Jackson was the first pop star I ever swooned over. My parents took my brother and I to his concert at Mile High Stadium - I think I was 12ish. It was our first ever concert - we sat in the nose bleeds - the acoustics stunk but the concert was unforgettable. Tonight I have fought back tears, resisted the urge to play his CD's full blast like a lovesick teen and watched all the news I can. I admit, I am sad.

Last night we took a group of people to see the Jonas Brothers, our girls have also seen Carrie Underwood, Hannah Montanna, Lone Star and Clint Black - I wonder though - will they ever see anyone that even compares to Michael Jackson?

Tonight that wonderful friend from Michigan, Brandon, is working in LA as an Elite Police Officer with the LA police - I am sure he is near all the happenings surrounding Michaels Death and I doubt he even remembers how often he called me Farah - but tonight I am thinking about all those days gone by...

In closing I will put my neck out on the line and say - I do believe Michael has finally found the peace he never had in life.

Doo Wa Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Do

That is what happens when Grams and Gramps take the girls for the evening! They come home singing songs like

Doo Wa Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Do

One Eyed One Eared Flying Purple People Eater

You're so Vain, you probly think this song is about you, don't you

Ricky don't loose my number, its the only one you own

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, That's amore!

But seriously while you roll those around in your in head for next few hours - I have to give a great big shout out to Grams and Gramps for picking up my sick children and taking them out to dinner so we could have a little quiet time in the house!

YAHOO, it was a hard week - I spent my quiet time working on the wordpress migration that is going to me forever and a day and "he" spent it making this new theme (available on many models)

And now the girls are in bed, I am going back to wordpress hell with a little Doo Wa Diddy in my head.

1980 what? ***GIVEAWAY***

Recently a good bloggy friend Lindsay posted about the awesome people watching to be found at her local Buffet resteraunt. If you haven't read it I suggest you go find out about the business and the party - it was hilarious!

Then, shortly after that, I walked into Justice Just for Girls (fantastically fun store though a bit odd sometimes) and I was blasted with memories of puffy paint, splatter paint and the J-Giles band.

We walked out with this outfit for Lauren

Watch out Cindy Lauper - all we need is a scarf and some of that Aqua Net on Lindsay's post.

Only difference is in 1980 what - we had to make our own splattered painted stuff....and another friend of mine (Becky) has admitted to making said clothes for all her friends way back when...

Can you name the singers of these 80's songs (without using google?)

Girls just wanna have fun
Freeze Frame
Like a Virgin
Walk like and Egyption
We got the beat
I think were alone now
Everybody have fun tonight
Heartbreaker
Summer of '69
When I see you Smile
Runaway
Juke Box Hero
R.O.C.K. in the USA
Eye of the Tiger
Take me home Tonight
Eye in the Sky
We Built this City
Burning down the house
Shout
Owner of a lonely heart
Addicted to love
Tainted Love

Ok....I could have gone on forever - I LOVE music now it is your turn take a crack at it!

Yanni Voices CD

I was lucky enough to get to review the Yanni Voices CD as part of the One2One network! I heard some clips online already and new the music was going to be beautiful. As previously mentioned I love pretty much all music. There is little I don't like. I am particularly attracted to the words in songs so I was excited for the Yanni Voices CD to come out!

I definitely had some favorites and don't want to spoil it for anyone but I will share this with you -Leslie has a beautiful voice and this song...I really like this song:





For the first time in five years, Yanni is returning to the stage to launch a world tour!! featuring 50+stops throughout the US including Orlando, Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York City, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and more!! You can order the CD Yanni Voices [CD/DVD] if you are interested!

Oh and did I mention they will be at the Pepsi Center on June 16th? The Pepsi Center (hint hint)

The Truth about Yanni - Yanni Voices New CD Release

Remember when I posted this Yanni Anyone? and my friend Alicia made fun of me? (can you see me sticking my tongue out at her?)

Truth is I love pretty much all music! We have Eminem CD's and Amy Grant CD's - Steve Miller and Steve Chapman, Greatful Dead and the Garth Brooks - you get the picture?

Anyway the new Yanni Voices CD comes out tomorrow for purchase at major retailers and yes the One2One network has enticed me to help let world know.

And the truth about that is - I don't mind because I have listened to the previews and the music with voices is beautiful!

And even a bit more truth - I am waiting for the new CD to arrive so I can listen to the whole thing and tell you about too.

So I guess the bottom line truth is - there is more Yanni to come on this little blog 'O' mine - and if you want to play with us on June 24th (Alicia) you better be nice!!

PS As of post time Amazon has the Yanni Voices [CD/DVD] for pre-order for only $9.99!!

Yanni anyone?

I just got an email from One2One about this new special on PBS!! Yanni Voices Live from the Forum in Acapulco starts airing nationwide, March 2nd on your local PBS stations. Their music is truly beautiful (and the singers aren't bad to look at either). I hope you have time to watch or record the special!

Greeted by Moonshadows

I walked out into the fridged night tonight and was greeted by the most beautiful moonshadows ever. We have a fantasticly clear sky with a full moon tonight. I called Lauren to share in the views and immediately started singing a favorite Cat Stephens song...She didn't know it of course so I had to find it on U-tube for her and now I want to share with all of you
