C'MON D.J.

Lately I have been into music. It comes and goes in spurts. I guess it's because I listen to the same songs over and over and over again until I am sick of them and then go on an all out search for new songs to beat into the ground. Anyway, here is the latest music craze that I am addicted too but keep in mind that some of them are not newly released and they are in no particular order or genre:

Brett Dennen (new album  Loverboy) Sydney, I'll come running

Pit bull (ft. T-pain) Hey Baby

Mindy Gledhill ( album Anchor) Crazy Love

Three Graces (Three Graces) Requiem

Blake (Blake) Hallelujah 

Paper Tongues (Paper Tongues) Get Higher 

Jerrod Niemann (Judge Jerrod and the Hung Jury) What do you want

Josh Kelley (Georgia Clay) Georgia Clay

Easton Corbin (Easton Corbin) I can't love you back
Thompson Square (Thompson Square) Are you gonna Kiss me or what
Mason Jennings (Bonus Track Version) Something about your love
MGMT (Oracular Spectacular) Kids
One Republic (Waking Up) Good Life
The Airborne Toxic Event (Bonus) Sometime around Midnight
Bart Crow Band (Finally) Wear my Ring
Glass Pear (Sweet America) Say it Once
Glee - anything from here

If you haven't heard of some of these take a listen and see what you think. I don't hate any type of music but I definitely have my preferences so I through in a bunch of random but awesome tunes. If any of you have favorite songs please pass them along. I'd love to hear what all of you are into these days...

ON THE LIST

I just love these items and I am drooling over them as I write, and have been for months now. Maybe one day I will be able to get these things and use them to beautify myself and my home! They are just so dang cute and full of flavor!

Garth + Itzhak

Yes it is correct!

You read it right!

Garth Brooks! Itzhak Perlman! In the flesh! SV Summer Symphony Series!

You ask how we are so lucky?

Well, every year my family heads up to SV for the month of August and attends the SV Summer Symphony Series. (Boy is it amazing.) For the benefit concert this year they brought in none other than the best and most acclaimed Country singer GARTH BROOKS!! For the season opener the next night they brought in ITZHAK PERLMAN, one of the most (if not the most) notorious violin virtuosos' of all time. Both concerts were hands-down the best concerts we have ever been to and seen.

Garth sang many songs, some of which he wrote and some from other artists, he played his guitar, danced across the stage, told hilarious jokes that had all of us rolling in our seats and he even brought his talented wife Trisha out as a surprise to sing a duet!

Through his performance my heart kept racing from pure excitement and I kept thinking "Is this for real? Holy Cow, Holy Cow, Holy Cow!" And in the end, it was a real as real could be. What a fun concert to see!

However, Itzhak was outstanding! There was not a single person in the audience who did not have tears rolling down their face during his performance. He was incredible! You could feel the passion and emotion through his violin as he was playing the concerto.

He surprised us all by playing the Theme from Schindler's List as an encore. WOW! My hands were raw from clapping so hard and for so long as he hobbled off stage. If you are unfamiliar with who Itzhak is, PLEASE look him up and listen to his music. He is of the Greats! And his personal story makes it all the more touching. I truly am so lucky to have witnessed him!
