Thankful - Josh Groban
Written by Bill on December 13th, 2007 – 6:37 pm -At this time of the year we often spend quite a bit of time reflecting on the year past and the things we’ve accomplished and those things that we haven’t. We also seem to spend more time with family, friends, and loved ones and when we can’t spend time with them we are certainly thinking about them through our Christmas cards and gifts.
When I bought Josh Groban’s NOEL CD I read through the songs and thought it would be an awesome Christmas album. The first time I heard Thankful it brought tears to my eyes. Holidays have always been a time of reflection for me… and this year is no different. What is different this year is that I was shaken at the foundation with the sudden passing of my Papa Carm. The experience, the loss, has been very sobering, and eye opening for me. We can’t take time back… and as each minute ticks by we lose it forever… that minute is now only available in our memories. I get so busy sometimes that I forget what I am Thankful for… Josh’s song helped me to remember.
This holiday season I would encourage each of you to reflect on the things that you have… the things that YOU are thankful for.

Don’t Give Up - You are Loved
Written by Bill on November 29th, 2007 – 8:00 am -|
When I first heard this song I was moved by the simple yet powerful lyrics. Everyone wants to heard, everyone wants to be understood and everyone wants to be loved! We often times get so wrapped up in our day to day lives that we forget that there are people we come into contact with each day that are struggling and may be reaching out. They need someone to listen, to hear what they are going through and perhaps even empathize with them. I had someone tell me once that we are all like small pieces in a huge jigsaw puzzle we call life. As we try to arrange the chaos that surroungs us, we reach out to those near us and interlock our lives with theirs. Gradually all the pieces come togehter…one after another OUR picture starts to form. If you think about who you interact with, you will likely think of spouses, children and close friends but as the scope becomes larger, individuals become communities, communities become states, states become nations, and nations become the world. Use this anthem as a reminder to reach out. Reach out to those who need you, or do the reaching out if you feel you need a little help. |
Don’t Give Up - You are LovedDon’t give up If silence keeps you, I Don’t give up Don’t give up Everybody wants to be understood You are loved Don’t give up Don’t give up You are loved |

Josh Groban - Music I Listen To
Written by Bill on September 30th, 2007 – 8:00 am -When I first heard Josh Groban’s music a few years ago… I actually thought he was an Italian vocalist… he was singing an Italian aria (sorry I don’t recall which) but I was really in a state of awe as this “kid” belted out this incredible love song. I started doing Internet searches and found he was just starting in the business and that he was actually a classically trained American… I’ve since purchased his CDs, and I really enjoy his “crossover” style where we are entertained by classic Italian pieces or his own February Song or Remember When It Rained
.
Today I discovered in the DVD cabinet his concert DVD - Josh Groban - Live at the Greek (includes CD). I must say I really enjoyed it! I had seen bits and pieces here and there but watching the complete concert was a nice way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon… (better than mowing the lawn that’s for sure!). His rendition of December on the DVD is great and it isn’t on the CD.
Listen to the song by clicking on the Play button in the Media Player above… would love to hear your comments.
