I love this clip from SnL, one of my favs. OK, they deleted the SNL one so I found this alternative.

I have been watching this show called “The Next Great American Band”. It’s like Idol for bands. Anyway, they are down to the top 8 bands and 3-4 of them are really really good. Chuck, be sure to listen to the Mugs. There is such a good distribution of genre’s I can’t help but feel set up. Here are some of my favorites – most of the clips below have a cover and an original, the originals are really good:
This is the Clark Brothers. I love the folk. I think they may win the competition or SixWire. Really nice original, really.
This is Sixwire – I don’t really even like country but the second song (their original) on this is a pop hit. No doubt. The harmonies are amazing. They have been able to do that on every song every episode. Stunning really. I wish I could sing. That original will be the next theme on Monday Night Football almost guaranteed.
This is Franklin Bridge – out of Philly. They are AMAZING.
This is Denver and The Mile High Orchestra
This is Tre Bien – sixties rock revisited. They probably won’t last long in the competition.
This is Light of Doom – ok, I had no idea kids this age could rock so. Iron Maiden would be proud. I don’t think they will make it much longer but seriously, 13 years old. Crazy.
And The Mugs – sadly they have been removed. Chuck this band was for you. The dude rocks on guitar and is totally awesome but they really need a real singer. Kind of reminds me of Rush – Working Man. Gritty Detroit rock, I love the sound (except for the vocals).
This is Cliff Wagner and the Old #7 – I don’t know why but I really like this band and I hate country.

The Great Detective was investigating a murder in the United States. The chief suspect said, “I’m new to the area, so I just followed directions and turned south onto Interstate 46”. The Great Detective knew he was lying. How?

I was on a call today with a vendor and they mentioned the site www.upromise.com . Evidentally it is a way to funnel free money into your 529 plans for you kids. They have a bunch of partners signed up and when you shop with them you earn between 1% and 25% cash towards your educational funds.
Thought those of you with kids struggling to figure out how to get extra cash for their education would appreciate the tip. Hey every little bit helps.

I just went through a fantastic demo of www.homeandabroad.com and their trip planning capabilities. You should try and set up a trip and itinerary for yourself, takes about 10 minutes or less. They can customize the site to your brand. They can even incorporate our campgrounds into their pages so they are recommended places to stay. Here are a couple customized examples:
Looks pretty darn good.
