I will do a longer blog about my trip early next week, but for now I wanted to drop in and share some pictures. I just didn’t want to break my posting streak while on vacation (as lame as that is).
We fly back home tomorrow, which sucks. It has been a fantastic five days – complete with much needed family time, lots of snow, some exploring, and really, really good food. I can’t wait for our next trip out here!
Mark Tremonti (Alter Bridge/Tremonti) has finally shared what his new project is: an entire album of Frank Sinatra covers. He will be backed by surviving members of Frank’s orchestra, and included will be all the well-known songs and a few deep cuts from Ol’ Blue Eyes’ career.
The record, entitled simply Mark Tremonti Sings Frank Sinatra, is set to be released May 27th and is available for preorder at tremontisingssinatra.com. Mark has given the album to the National Down Syndrome Society, meaning that 100% of the proceeds go to the organization to help those with developmental disabilities. If you’re interested, you can read the full story about why Frank Sinatra and why NDSS here.
Check out the first single, Mark’s rendition of “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.”
Fozzy has announced a spring run with special guests GFM (Gold, Frankincense, & Myrrh), KrashKarma, and The Nocturnal Affair. Tickets and VIP packages are available at FozzyRock.com.
I’m not gonna lie: the last two years I’ve participated in the annual GoodReads reading challenge, I have failed. My goal always seems achievable when I set it – after all, what else am I gonna do with my free time besides read?
Ha. The joke’s on me. Between work, writing, blogging, trips to Colorado to visit my brother and sister-in-law (and their answering visits to Alabama), and driving up to Kentucky to see my best friend, my free time always fills up.
But this year, I am determined. I will complete my list. Upon finishing Ania Ahlborn’s Dark Across the Bay, I have read 5 of my 25 book goal. Here is a short list of what’s coming up next for me.
Currently reading: Afraid, which consists of three intertwining tales by Lisa Jackson, Alexandra Ivy, and Lisa Childs
Up next:
