I met a couple this weekend from Jersey who now reside in Lancaster after retirement. I've never met a couple who seemed more in love and simply enjoyed each other's presence. Of course, I have no clue what it means to be in love like that, but I imagine that this couple epitomize whatever that is. More interesting to me is the fact that the guy was a member of a gospel group called the Raw Silvertones from, I think, 1959 to 1982 (and it's possible I even heard the name wrong). Not sure why that stuck with me, except that music follows me everywhere. I asked him if they ever made any recordings, and his response was that he has a 45 somewhere. I laugh only because my first thought was, I wonder if I can get this stuff on iTunes. All in all, these two people were somehow very impressive to me (especially once I got them talking) and I can't deny that they affected me greatly.
Next up is admission time. Oh, no, wait. I'm not ready for that yet...

I know they're a "love 'em or hate 'em" kind of band, but I'll always feel a bit sentimental towards them. LB & Kid Rock (back when he was cool) was my first real concert experience in Pittsburgh. Nick asked me to go that day, very last minute. So, I convinced our great friend, Burke Bowen, to cover my shift at work and just took off west. Two incredible acts that really knew how to get an audience moving. Honestly, it was an experience I'll never forget. It definitely helped to shape the summer of 1999. So this album! I think it goes back to the 3 Dollar Bill days when their music was less mainstream. I haven't taken it out of my cd player since I got it. And go buy the deluxe version at Best Buy; 4 bonus tracks are on it from what I understand.
Also, a little somethin for you all to look forward to this summer... A friend is moving forward with a great concept that I am going to try and help bring to the surface of reality. Starting as a facebook group, the idea is to create a place where individuals who have gone through a bad breakup, separation, or divorce can connect/network with others who have been in a similar place. Discussions will be facilitated, but the group will allow people to share their experiences, thoughts, suggestions, and tips on going through these types of situations. I think it'll be a great opportunity for people to talk things out, hear from others who've already been there, and maybe even work through some of their situations. It will be nice to know you're not alone and are amongst friends. So, if you are someone who thinks you might like to try this out, let me know. Further, I'd like to hear some feedback on what you might like to see in a group like this. What would you be looking for? Think about it, and I'll start giving more details as the project moves along. Also, look for invites coming soon from Connect the Hearts.
