Belated Anniversary Post

On March 3rd, seven years ago, the beautiful girl in this picture was kind enough to marry me. We have been through so many tough, wonderful, heartbreaking, freaky, loving, um "unmetionable", times together. To spell out the whole story would take an entire blog, and none of you would believe it but here we are at Benihana celebrating our 7th year of marriage. (A guy at the table with us bought our whole dinner for us!)

So here is my song to my Angell. You can listen to a VERY ROUGH mix by clicking HERE!

As Beautiful As A Song

So what could I possibly sing?

To describe, you know, our love, our thing

The many different melodies

The picture books of memories

What could be left to say?

To describe all the crazy nights and days

All the words of each conversation

All the names of our destinations

insinuations

jubilations

flirtations

As I go back through the pages

Each picture of your beautiful face

Reminds me there’s no luckier man

No luckier man, because you are still here with me

Here we are again, here we are

Still holding on, still loving long

There you are again, there you are

(And you’re) still as beautiful as a song

Now what can I do?

To show you, you know, my love is true

The miles and miles I would run

The times and trials I’d overcome

Here we are again, here we are

Still holding on, still loving long

There you are again, there you are

(And you’re) still as beautiful as a song

Happy Birthday Roger!

To the man who sang the words that may have been the only words that made sense to me as a young boy and man. The interpreter of the greatest songwriter of all time. Taking the sensitive to a powerful level. A true showman, the ultimate rock star. Even today, he retains his humility. Never showy or pompous. And damn, he is in great shape!

Thank you Roger, for telling me what I needed to hear. This morning, I raise a cup of tea to you!

Amazing Journey

The word for last night's show was perfect. Almost too perfect. Roger's voice had lost the strain he had at the Hollywood Bowl, but with just enough growl. Pete was dead on with all guitar parts. They came out swinging and never stopped. Last year's tour polished them up nicely. I must say my wife and I agreed the show at the Bowl was much edgier but I think that was due to a somewhat sterile, non-smoky environment. The crowd wasn't half as out of control. But we were! We didn't sit down during Wire and Glass...I even warned the guy next to me I was going to lose it. He politely asked that I keep my clothes on. The set was a bit different and the Tommy medley was shorter I think. Pino stood by his bass amp and Simon was in his perch. Zak, well Zak pounded the hell out of the kit. It was good to see Rabbit back on the keys.

All in all the show was picture perfect. Our seats were great and the company was better. My wife, cousins, and I had a full on blast. Saw Alice Cooper at his restaurant earlier, checked out a decent local band then the boys.

LONG LIVE ROCK!!
