Looking for some tough girl rock next weekend? Try " Bad Reputation - Women That Rock " a musical extravaganza taking place on March 2-4 in North Phoenix. It's being performed by a talented trio of vocalists and the performance band that's behind the annual musical tributes to The Beatles and The Who, which I've been part of in the past and look forward to singing again with later this spring. From the press blurb: "The 2012 Fine and Performing Arts Scholarship Fundraiser at Paradise Valley Community College, "BAD [...]
![[Introducing] – Automatic Loveletter](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3594681_lg.jpg)
Tweet Perhaps, I should say "introducing Juliet Simms", since Automatic Loveletter is her brainchild. While Simms is only 22 years old, she's definitely got some pipes on her. Her voice is quite distinctive and has that raspy sound, reminiscent of Janis Joplin. Simms belts her heart out alongside a great band, made up of Tommy Simms, Clint Fowler, and Ryan Metcalf. In "Heart Song" the song is classic rock and roll, with 1980s influences - think Pat Benatar with a little more sass. Automatic Loveletter has [...]
Oprah Winfrey is pulling out all the stops on the final season of her talk show. On her show today the queen of talk played host to goddesses of the music industry, and their contemporary counterparts. Joan Jett , Pat Benetar , Stevie Nicks , and Salt N' Pepa , were among the lovely ladies to hit the stage. The biggest surprise for me, was the pairing of legendary rocker Joan Jett, and former Hannah Montana actress/singer [...]

Like my Mother's Day post, I'm putting up some songs that I know my dad likes. He's a HUGE Elvis Presley fan, so I could have filled this entire page with Elvis songs... but since my dad's taste in music also stretches past Elvis, I thought I'd find a few other artists that he's OK'd in my music library. My dad's favorite artist turns out to be Johnny Mathis, but I don't have any Johnny Mathis music... and I don't expect to any time soon. I remember the first (and only time) my dad attended a Johnny [...]

Benatar writes about living in the [...]
Happy Mother's Day! Like many of you, I don't know what I would do without my mom. She's been with me since my birth (duh!) and has given me everything that a mom can give. I still talk to my mom every day and the amazing thing is that I can still hear the excitement and happiness in her voice whenever I call. After all these years, my mom isn't bored or sick of me yet... and that's saying something about my mom, not me. A few weeks ago, my mom stopped by my house [...]
