I am here for Friends

About Me

I grew up Michigan. Went to school at Bentley and Grand Blanc Schools. Was married for 19 years and had three kids, Ryan 25, Shannon 23, and Aaron 18. After living in California, Florida, Indiana, and Cincinnati, Ohio, I moved back to Michigan in 2003 and finished my college degree (3.99 GPA!!!). I moved back to Cincinnati in 2006. Now I'm in Frankfort, Kentucky. I have always been obsessed with music but didn't have much time to pursue my passion until after my divorce. I possess no musical talent and am awed by people who do. My 18 yr old is an awesome guitar player who writes his own music so I guess you could say I created a musical talent. See my blog to read about all the great bands I've seen. Check out my calendar to see future shows I plan on seeing.


This band Rocks! Go listen to their music!

I just found out about this band KAURA! (It's pronounced kay-aura) Their song Now Or Never is playing! It's the soundtrack for my life!
Here are the awesome lyrics....
Now Or Never
The day is fading, time is saying, here is your dream, will you follow.
Motion's moving, it's beginning, release disbelief and let this flow through.
It's now or it's never and never been clearer than now.
It's now or it's never and no time is better than now, right here and now.
It's your conviction in this decision, so open your eyes and see your vision.
Say it so loud, say it so proud, don't let the sound die down, don't let your dream slip away.
It's now or it's never and never been clearer than now.
It's now or it's never and no time is better than here and now, right here and now.
We've got to do something now here in this moment.
We've got to do something now, here in the now.
It's now or it's never and never been clearer than now.
It's now or it's never and no time it better than here and now, right here and now.
KAURA's Myspace page says that "KAURA was born from the vision of infusing the aggressive power of hard, yet melodic rock with the haunting and ethereal sounds of ancient instruments. In the short time since the band formed in 2005, they have been invited to open for TOOL, Rob Zombie, and Godsmack by Bill Graham Presents, and had A Perfect Circle’s Paz Lenchantin play on their self released EP. In addition, they traveled to the distant lands of India, Thailand, Bali, Cambodia, Laos, and Nepal to seek out instruments and experiences to fully realize their vision; all of which was captured on video."
The videos can be found at http://www.kauratravels.blogspot.com/ Check it out and there is more of their kickass music on their Myspace page.
