Happy Thursday friends, I certainly have reason to be thankful today as our particular area was spared much of the damage from the horrific weather yesterday and last night and my prayers go out to those who were adversely affected.

Since American Idol is now down to just 6 contestants the producers have been having some of the contestants paired off to sing duets and my two favorites have now done three and all of them are very good. In my opinion 16 and 17 year old Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreey are going to go far in the music world. I love to hear them sing, either alone or together. Here is their duet from last night, Carole King’s “Up on the Roof".

Thanks to a friend I just got this in an email. Hope you enjoy as much as I did. :)

Want a hefty dose of nostalgia? Then watch this video of the 1960s. This is one of the best presentations of the sixties you will ever seen online. It is very well done. Just click on the link and sit back and enjoy the memories. Great photos and facts. If you're not quite old enough to have been there, feel free to pass it on to someone who is.
