A little late but. . . HAPPY BE-LATED EASTER!! Hopefully you got an easter basket filled with lots of good treats!
BREAKING NEWS: I have discovered a new favorite band and if you haven't heard of them you need to listen to them. We went to the Bob Dylan/Merle Haggard concert on Monday. .woah let me tell you Bob is getting old!! He looked like he just woke up. But anyways I stray from the "real" story. . .The opening band before Merle was Amos Lee. I was moved. The music was great, the songs great, the voice great! So of course Al and I did what any other fan would do, we found out he was playing at a bar last night and went to see him. . get this $8 for a ticket!! Isn't that great. Anyways you can check out his site to listen to 3 of his songs www.amoslee.com But the fun one isn't on the site, my favorite is Bottom of the Barrel. Fun folky song. So anyways if you get a chance I highly recomend for you to check him out. And if you see he is playing in your town. . GO. You will not be disappointed. We just bought the cd tonight and believe it or not, it doesn't do him justice. His voice is so great. And one of his band members played the guitar, mandalin and trumpet (very multi-talented!). Oh there is also an NPR interview on him too http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4541649
Alright enough of my ramblings about my favorite group. Our cats are on the nip right now. . actually the after effects of the nip. Anne is laying down beside me while Tucker is curled up on the chair. You gotta love them. They were going crazy, we got them a new cat nip filled stuffed squirrel. Al tied it to fishing string and dragged it around while they frantically chased it. HA HA. . our entertainment for tonight!! Well happy almost FRIDAY!!

Jess- that is so weird!!! I just heard his cd, and heard of him, on 3/31. I know the date exactly 'cause I was in one of my AE's office and we were talking music, and she had his cd. I loved it. So I wrote his name down in my planner on that day. He reminds me of Jack Johnson. I am sure if I heard him in person, I would be even more enthralled with him. Anyhow, I was like "Oh My GOSh!!" how ironic is that!?!!?
Anyhow, good choice in music my friend!
Ha ha ha!! Melissa no matter how far away we are, we are still on the same page:)
I can send you a copy of the cd if you want. . .let me know.
