I took a long weekend away from work and the blog yesterday. I needed to unplug and I did. I come back a bit rejuvenated and looking forward to a longer vacation in three weeks.
The passing of Eydie Gorme saddened me. She was one of my mama’s favorites and I remember watching she and her beloved husband Steve Lawrence perform on The Mike Douglas Show countless times when I was a child. She was always big and bawdy and covered in sequins and beads, I hope my mama is sitting front row at her first concert with the heavenly choir.
Carrie Underwood was HOT last night on the CMA Music Festival. I especially liked her salute to Guns N’ Roses by recreating some of the same dance moves and mannerisms as Axl Rose in the original version.
I just don’t want to be in the backwards seat.
