Tesla-Signs

2012-06-22T10:42:00.002-07:00

I love Tesla,and just love when Signs come on the radio or on my cd/mp3 player.Signs is such a great song.One of those songs that you just love to sing along with.When they sang it live on this night it was nothing but pure magic!The band was formed in 1984 and has been rocking every since.Tesla is on tour right now and maybe you can catch them in your area!other songs I enjoy are Modern Day Cowboy and Love Song

Stealing Heather -Breathe Out

2012-06-16T21:38:00.001-07:00

Stealing Heather is a band out of Los Angeles. Joshua Aaron is the singer/writer/producer and driving force for this amazing band that claims they are the thinking person's pop-rock band. I would have to agree.
I have been following them via Facebook since 2010 and even though i have never had the chance to see them live,I really enjoy their songs and hear they give amazing live performances.if you live around the L.A. area,check them out and maybe you will like them also!

2012-06-16T20:48:00.000-07:00

Kitty Pryde is a rising internet sensation young rapper/singer from Florida. I like this song Okay Cupid,most of you have never heard of her before,but soon will!(she is working on her album and doing live shows and is a bit freaked out by all of this sudden interest in her) I bet she will be on all the talk shows,and on Saturday Night Live soon.I wanted to share,and hope you will like Kitty Pryde also! or not,cause she doesn't care or does she?

A is for Abba

2011-08-02T12:52:00.000-07:00

ABBA! if you grew up during 1972-1982 your parents probably had ABBA on the record player or you listened to them in the car.i know my mother loved to play ABBA.they are still hot today,and even had a play and movie (Mamma Mia) made based on the ABBA music. ABBA is a group from Sweden,with Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Agnetha Fältskog take the first letter in their name and you come up with ABBA!having sold 375 million+ albums worldwide they are one of the most commercially successful acts in pop music ever.my biggest hope is that ABBA will make another album soon!

S is for Slade and Straight White Lines

2011-07-23T22:16:00.000-07:00

Slade is one of my most favorite bands!i was a my grandmas and i was maybe 10?and the next door neighbor was having a garage sale.i walked over to have a look and noticed a box of vinyl records.i was looking at them and the owner guy came over to me and said do you like music?i told him i just got from Santa a record player radio tape player thing but i didn't have any records yet.he smiled and pulled out the SLADE-ALIVE
album and said here you would want this one.i asked how much and he said how much do you have on you.i had .50 cents.sold he said and i have to say it was and is one of my favorite albums and bands ever!

I have this twitter friend Neal Brooks,we have never met but have tweeted from time to time.he has a band called Straight White Lines. i love the song Outlaw!i wanted to showcase Neal and his talent.I think Neal would have a better solo career,and have added some of his solo stuff.If any record company or record producer person wants to
sign Neal do it! if i could i would sign him in a heart beat!such a talent! in fact i told him he should go on American idol!i am sure he would win!and he has a cool beard!AND ladies i think he is single (hint hint)

so i hope you will enjoy the following clips.

P is for Peter Paul & Mary

2011-07-23T20:31:00.000-07:00

I just love Peter,Paul &Mary.they are folk singers and became one of the biggest music acts of the 1960's.I picked 3 songs. The first one "Puff the Magic Dragon" is a song dear to my heart,even one my kids favorite songs.when i listen to it i think about childhood and growing up and losing your dreams and becoming a "grown up".i never want to "grow up" the second song "Leaving on a jet plane"i really like also because when i hear it the song i think about dying and just saying goodbye to all of your loved ones.i think i would love to have it played at my funeral.also i think of when i went away from family and friends and went on a church mission for two years and the sadness i had for leaving.whatever meaning you get from it,i would be interested to know.the last one i just added because it is such a sweet song,and Peter,Paul &Mary singing it in such a beautiful way.

Stevie Nicks is a member of Fleetwood Mac and has an amazing career as a solo artist.i love her and her music.I love when a singer can write amazing songs!well Stevie Nicks is a music Icon!i had this dream about me and Stevie.I still remember this dream,it happened about 3 years ago.and it was a fun dream.I have always wanted to be a rock manager.well i got my chance in this dream!Stevie Nicks needed a manager to help with this tour she was doing.so i somehow got the job!this was an amazing dream.to be in the presence of a legendary music Queen!she sang all of her amazing songs.we interacted and it seemed as real as any dream i have ever had.i guess it made me so happy,that i remember it.when i awoke in the morning i was just so happy and had a smile on my face.hey Stevie if you need any help let me know!

her are some songs i love! i play these songs in my car,certain songs just sound better while driving!maybe it is the energy you feel from such powerful songs!that is my test to a great song,its drivability.

M is for Marcy Playground

2011-07-14T22:44:00.000-07:00

So far i have been at 2 Marcy Playground concerts.they came to my town Idaho Falls on November 5th ?not sure the year. after the song "Sex and Candy"came out,it was an amazing show!i was lucky i had a front seat in this tiny theatre and during the show,the drummer Shlomi Lavie playfully tossed a drumstick to the lead singer John Wozniak,it bounced off of the stage and into the band pit.i was in the best spot and immediately grabbed it.later i had all of the band autograph it.i guess it is also a rare item because it has been played.and they usually only throw out new sticks.i will always cherish it.and hope to have a man cave someday,so i can proudly display it,along with all of my other rock treasures.

my second concert was a little more intimate.it was in a town Pocatello in 2009 and i was able to get front row,like i always do.it was another amazing show with all of the old hits along with songs from their fourth album Leaving Wonderland...in a fit of rage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaving_Wonderland...in_a_fit_of_rage
it was still a high energy and very fun show!if Marcy Playground ever comes to your town GO!it is alot of fun.i wasn't able to met up with the guys after that one but fun never the less! and i cannot wait until i can go to another one. if i could i would probably be the roadie for them.
