Years ago I met Robert Plant through my father. Daddy used to be a sale rep for a guitar company and he often brought musicians home with him for dinner with the family. My mom is an awesome cook and fabulous hostess. We would have a gourmet dinner and then sit around the living room and play music, sing and dance for hours. I had a wonderfully fortunate childhood.

Robert’s new album is coming out in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait to buy it. I love the first single they just released, called “Angel Dance.”

Over the next several months there will be so many places to see music played it will boggle the mind. The CMA Music Festival is this June as well as the big concert at Bonnaroo. Today it is rumored that Jimmy Buffett and a couple other major acts will be at Bonnaroo this year. It would almost be worth the mess and the huge ticket price to see him. I am glad that I am not going the wait to get in is several hours and they search you and your car most of the time, a big hassle for sure.

We went downtown to sit on the park grass and hear a new band, it was a lot of fun and I do not even remember the name of the band. I like hearing new music and getting a first look at new performers. Living in Nashville is a great way to hear a lot of music, and I will have to say some of it is not very good but we still give it a shot. One of our friends is trying to make it in the music business and she is very good, we went to a Cd release party of hers a while back and now she is touring Norway, now that would be some kind of fun for sure.
