Yesterday a friend (yes Ron, on of the many I have) took me up to Shepherd's Bush to the Jonathan Ross show (never heard of the man, but was forewarned for good reason) because he was interviewing the Osmond's, and one of his other guests was Neil Diamond. Of course the Osmond's were wonderful, but WOW! Neil Diamond performed and I wanted to run out and buy tickets to one of his concerts. What a performer! He sang one of his new songs, then sang Sweet Caroline, then Jonathan Ross asked if he would sing Love on the Rocks, so he did, coming out into the audience (I was on the front row of course). He stood right in front of me at one point, and he put such emotion into the performance. I was very impressed to say the least.
Right, that's my update. I'm off to Wales (Hey-on-Wye, so hopefully any pictures I take can be submitted as it's on the border with England). Probably no computer access for a few days.
I loved Neil Diamond records and they came out for me at the right age for me to be an part of it all also. "Thank the Lord for the nighttime" is one record I use to sing to myself sliently Hiking with the "scouts" up rough terrain, trying to gain momentum to keep going....OK, I was hiking up the blessed "mountains" of the PNW (Pacific Northwest)..huffing an puffing and sweating the entire way,...and them looking so serene as if "What you do expect, she's an "girl". I use to lose 5 pounds an weekend on these hikes.Occasionally my hubby or my son and his friends would get where we were going and come back after me an help me...by carrying my back-pack. I use to like his song, "I am, I said" also. Those were the years!!! I never went on any of the lengthy hikes as they aged though...to much, it was all their's to do!
