A couple months ago I wrote my first ever album review for Shadow Gallery’s “Digital Ghosts”. It is an album I truly enjoy listening to & it seems I discover something new every time I listen. Going to see SG in concert would be a great thing…too bad they don’t perform live. Well that is [...]
The very first note of this album will capture you completely & won’t let go–from the lofty harmonies through the driving beats & furious guitar solos to the exquisite finish, “Digital Ghosts, the new album from Shadow Gallery, is a revelation.
I’m a huge fan of music. I have a decent & ever-growing collection of music…listening [...]
Right now I am sitting in my brother-in-law Greg’s house relaxing. Hubby & I came down to attend RockFest 2009 in Kansas City with Greg & his wife Lisa. It’s been great to see them & I wish we could do it a lot more often. Yesterday Hubby, Greg & I attended RockFest (Lisa was [...]
Since summer is “officially” here with the passing of Memorial Day weekend I thought I’d post a list of books that make great summer (or really any time) reads. Some of them I will be looking to read myself in the very near future.

On Friday 4/10 I placed an order with Amazon.com for a book I’ve been lusting after for a short if passionate time. I was all set to receive my copy of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales (Penguin classics edition) today. It was not to be however. With a combination [...]
Music is an essential part of my world. I’ve been listening to all genres of music since I could reach up & turn on my parents’ stereo. Even then I would dance to whatever was playing on the radio. My earliest memories of music are listening to the music from then. I asked Mom for [...]
Just over a week ago I was on Twitter (I know you’re shocked) when I saw a conversation among some friends about books that should be read. Now being the naturally curious person I am (okay when it comes to books I’ll jump in w/both feet) I asked the guys (the 3 talking were? are [...]
I watch a lot of movies. Not having much for television channels and then the switch to digital so now I have even less movies are my escape. I like movies. The plot, the foreshadowing, the music…all of it is fodder for my mind when I’m stuck at my desk. I can escape & let [...]
