I'm looking forward to it. As mother of the groom, there's not much I have to do. I picked the song for the mother-son dance at the reception: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3wvUwb4p4Q]The Beatles In My Life (2009 Stereo Remaster) - YouTube[/ame]

My Chris Isaak concert last night was excellent! Chris is hilarious! He came into the audience even up to the balcony where I was sitting. He sat in a woman's lap down the row from me. The music was beautiful! His voice is so good - such range! Besides his own songs, he sang lots of covers - Elvis, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, James Brown. Very entertaining show! And his suits were beautiful. Curt Bisquera, the drummer on some songs on She's The One, was the drummer for Chris. He and the rest of the band were excellent! A couple of my favorite songs: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYukNDs8hF0]Chris Isaak 2. - Wicked Game (HD) Live Chicago - YouTube[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6-WJCWzvs8]Chris Isaak 7. - Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing (HD) Live Chicago - YouTube[/ame]

Just saw Curt last night in Milwaukee at the Chris Isaak concert!

July 18th, 2013 | 2:35 pm Rick Rubin’s Top 10 Comeback Albums by Ben Smith (@BHSmithNYC) 5. Tom Petty Wild Flowers (1994) Tom Petty’s first solo album since 1989 found him tapping Rick Rubin to help give him the strength to break free of the constraints of his band The Heartbreakers. The album’s at once full and sparse production generated the hits “You Don’t Know How It Feels” and “You Wreck Me” and was the first of three records Rubin would helm for Petty and crew. http://www.vh1.com/music/tuner/2013-07-18/rick-rubins-top-10-comeback-albums/6/

^ Thank you Pat! I enjoyed the concert so very much! It was exceptional! I wept with joy, hearing my favorite Beatles songs. Paul is just amazing! I can't believe the man is 71!

Thank you, Benny! I'm so pumped to see Paul tonight!

Thank you for giving us this opportunity, Beth. Your love for Smokey lives on in this worthy cause. Smokey is proud of you, and I am too!
