About Me

Welcome
First, when I was little I was a pony girl. Now, that I'm older I think of myself as a "lady rider"
So, it's safe to assume that I like Motorcycles and Horses. Hence, the reason for this new layout.
Also, I love U2, Paul Weller and the Corrs and many other artists so here's a cool video called, Summer Wine by U2 and the Corrs.

the Deepest Red
My grandad Orville “Hoppy” Jones (was born February 17, 1905) was a singer/musician and a member of a vocal group, the Ink Spots. Also, I would like to say, I'm very proud of the fact that (the Ink Spots) were one of the first groups to break down racial barriers. Here's a brief biography from the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
In the words of soul singer Jerry Butler, a solo artist and founding member of the Impressions, “The Ink Spots were the heavyweight champions of quartet singing.” Clyde McPhatter, one-time singer with both the Dominoes and the Drifters, once admitted, “We patterned ourselves after the Ink Spots.” One of the first popular black groups, the Ink Spots can be regarded as forerunners of the doo-wop and rhythm & blues movements that followed. In the wake of their innovative harmonies came a slew of black vocal groups, including the Ravens, the Orioles, the Dominoes and the Drifters.Inspired by big-name jazz bands and old-time vaudeville acts, the Ink Spots got their start in Indianapolis in the 1920s. The members would improvise harmony vocals, often simulating wind instruments with their voices. In 1939, the group switched styles from jazzy swing to intimate balladry. “If I Didn’t Care,” a million seller, inaugurated a stream of hit ballads in a similar vein, including “My Prayer, “ “We Three,” “Maybe” and “When the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano.” Most of their big hits were sweet ballads with lead vocals by Bill Kenny (who joined in 1936, the year the Ink Spots signed to Decca).The group maintained its popularity with both black and white audiences into the early 1950s, becoming one of the first acts to break down racial barriers by performing at previously all-white Southern venues. The Ink Spots’ tradition of romantic ballads sung in perfect harmony retains its timeless, old-fashioned appeal to this day.”

My Interests



Yes, I really love music, so lets' get started, here's a cool video of singer Jason Wade chatting about (album three) their self-titled Lifehouse cd. The band is currently on tour with the Goo Goo Dolls promoting their new album, Who We Are is in stores now.

Now back to their self-title cd, I like this video alot because Jason speaks candidly about making the album. The video is brief but worth a look. That's why, I'm posting it here for all my friends on myspace.

Favorite Poetry - Lyrics

Face of Love by Jewel

until tonight my heart was just half full i'd never known the fruit which fed the soul but now i see what may put to rest my longing for i have seen, the face of love the grace of god, the face of love in silence i feared my heart would remain words unheard inside a separateness of skin but now i know that the skin just veils the soul for i have seen, the face of love the grace of god, the face of love

so take my hand and knowing with it i also give my heart wanting never to be separate again let eternity begin if you were flame i'd allow myself to be consumed completely were you wind i would wish you pass through me but now i know that the skin just veils the soul for i have seen, the face of love the grace of god, the face of love

Les Miserables - Playbill

Based on Victor Hugo's epic novel. Relentless policeman Javert pursues escaped convict Jean Valjean over decades through the tumult of revolutionary France. Valjean becomes a mayor, agrees to raise the daughter of dying prostitute and joins the fight for freedom. None of this impresses the single-minded Javert, until the day Valjean saves his life. Score includes "Who Am I?," "A Little Fall of Rain," "One Day More," "Bring Him Home" and "I Dreamed a Dream."

Music:



I was fortunate enough to see Stuart perform live here in Louisville, and I was very, very impressed as Stuart (with only his guitar accompanying him on stage) ripped through a great set of original songs as well as a superb cover of Led Zeppelin's Dancing Days. It was great stuff. I immediately bought his CD minutes after his set - Rock Interview Index

All considered foods by millions of people around the world. And all objects of great fascination to Tom Parker Bowles, a food journalist who grew up eating his mother’s considerably safer roast chicken, shepherd’s pie and mushy peas. Intrigued by the food phobias of two friends, Parker Bowles became inspired to examine the cultural divides that make some foods verboten or “dangerous” in the culture he grew up with while being seen as lip-smacking delicacies in others. So began a year-long odyssey through Asia, Europe and America in search of the world’s most thrilling, terrifying and odd foods.
