Guess What?

Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Thursday, March 15, 2012 2 Of Your Sparks

Today Nancy and I get on a plane - first stop Atlanta. When we get there we will meet up with my brother Richard and his wife Cindy and the four of us board a flight for West Palm Beach, FL.

Tomorrow my sister Lynn and her husband Kevin arrive.

What are we all flying down there for?

Well, because tomorrow, Friday March 16, 2012 is...


THAT'S RIGHT...I SAID WE ARE GOING FOR




WANNA KNOW WHAT IT IS?

COME BACK TOMORROW AND FIND OUT!

1 Birthday, 1 Anniversary, 4 Teams, 5 Songs...

HAPPY 23rd Birthday Matt.

Yup...23 years ago tomorrow my whole world changed forever.
And I would not change that fact for anything!
He is doing the 6-year college merry-go-round
First a teacher, then a psychologist and finally law enforcement
But he has gotten his act together acing all his classes this semester.
If you never read my 20th Birthday tribute to my son, find it HERE




CONGRATULATIONS to
Brother Rich
& SIL Cindy

on their 27 Anniversary on this day!

GO TIGERS!




I said yesterday I was going to concentrate more on MUSIC here on The Couch...and that means joining in on my friend TRAVIS' meme called FIVE ON FRIDAY.

Now here are the guidelines (Travis does not do rules) for Five On Friday:

1. Grab the banner, make your post title Five on Friday, and be sure to link back here.
2. Go to Playlist.com to make your play list of five songs. Choose a particular theme to share with us. You can simply post the play list, or you can add a little summary about what you are sharing.
3. I don't know how to make a specific linky, so be sure to leave me a comment to let me know that you participated.
4. No tags, but feel free to invite your friends to play along if they need a post topic on a Friday.

Now, I do not use playlist.com, but I am putting 5 songs here.

These five are all artists I am have booked or am looking to book on my BlogTalk Radio Show "Music On The Couch" over the next few months.

This is a really cool way to share your music with your readers and I highly encourage you to join in on Friday's, after all...Friday means the doorway to the weekend and going back to my college days when I ran the Fraternity's sound system (shocked you are, I know), that meant Friday afternoon speakers on the balcony giving the quad MUSIC!


Joshua Stedman is booked on the show on April 19th.
This is "A Simple Love"


Nick Daugherty is still not confirmed, but we are working it out.
This is "A Thousand Times"


Kat Danser is scheduled to appear in June.
This is her song "Yesterday's Blues"


Mississippi Heat's leader Pierre Lacocque will appear on April 26.
This is their song "Hattiesburg Blues"


And finally today,
the band is Zydecosis from New Orleans. I have not booked them yet.
They take rock and roll and play it in Zydeco - very cool.
This is their take on"Fat Bottomed Girls"


HAVE A GRAND WEEKEND ALL!

Anniversary... Award...Ahead Of The Pack...

Sending Anniversary wishes out to Brother Rich and SIL Cindy on their Silver Anniversary. 25 years of marriage...two beautiful daughters...lots of love.



Funny...the topic of conversation in the office between quite a few people was why the hell they cut away from "Medium" on Monday to tell us we were going to get rained on. We did not even bring it up, yet 5 people all mentioned it at some point in the day, all saying the same thing "what the hell was the reason for cutting away?"
One person did mention that, during the news, they said they would replay "Medium" at like 1:30 am...IF they are going to do that, a scroll along the bottom during the time the show SHOULD be on would be more appropriate.

Anyway, we watched the last 15 minutes sitting at work during lunch. All of the networks now give you that chance on their websites and the best part is...IF there are commercial breaks, they are only 30 seconds and not 2 minutes like on normal TV.



The Teach bestowed upon us this new award today. Ain't she sweet?

The rules for the *you make my day award* are to re-present it to 10 people whose blogs bring you happiness and inspiration and make you feel happy about blog land. Let them know through email or by posting a comment on their blog so they can pass it on. Beware you may get the award several times yourself, and if you do, consider yourself really, really loved.

TEN People? OK, well, as our regular readers know, we normally do not tag people with Memes (It is our way to show Mimi, The Queen Of Memes that she can not imprison us in her dungeon and we can run free), but we will present this to 10 people who we love to death - well at least we love their blogs to death...

DIXIE - Our dear Sugarbaby
JEFF - He is just one cool dude
DRILLERAA - A new friend, but one we feel we have known for years
DANA - She blathers, but we like it
TURNBABY - She is irreverent and very good at it!
STARRLIGHT - This woman is just plain old incredible...
SONGBIRD - How can you not love this woman?
SANNI - Well...she is Sanni-licious!
TUG - Yankee fan, sweet lady, funny chick...
JULIE - Either on her blog or in her emails...she is just one hell of a woman
TOPCHAMP - We love her Brownie updates and just wish she would post more of her playing Trumpet...

We know, that is 11 people, but you see...we LOVE to break rules...
bwahahahaahahahahaahahahahaahahahahaahaaaa



So, Forbes Magazine has listed the best places to live and work...here are the top 25 Metro areas:



We have not played enough LED ZEPPELIN here on The Couch...From what we feel is their best album - Houses Of The Holy. As we were digitizing, we realized how much we have enjoyed these songs since 1973. There is some work still to be done. This album has seen better days and in the end, we may end upjust buying the CD...but we will try and clean the cuts up more. Problem is you begin to lose the 'middle' and things sound hallow.

"Over The Hills And Far Away" - Jimmy Page & Robert Plant

ENJOY...
