How Sweet It Is

Monday night Dan and I went to the James Taylor concert at USANA Amphitheater. If you have no idea who James Taylor is, I am sincerely frightened that you are reading my blog.
At any rate, I am not a big concert goer (read approximately 15 years since I have been to one), and the ones I can recall are Sawyer Brown, Celine Deon with Michael Bolton (sahweet) and the B52's. So you can see it has been a while and, hopefully, my taste has improved! Wait, Neil Diamond has been intermixed in there a few times and that my friend is a great concert. Can I be completely random (why yes you can this is your blog) and say that I find Neil to be very sexy? Yeah, sick I know.
So back to James. It was a great concert. He sang tons of my favorites as well as some songs I had never heard before. Sorry Aimee - I am not the music afficianado that you are so you are probably disgusted that I attended a concert when I didn't even know ALL of the songs the artist sings. James (yes we ARE on a first name basis) is quite funny. A very dry sense of humor. I liked it.
We are cheap so instead of springing for the expensive seats, we opted for lawn seating. It was really quite nice. We spread out a blanket, listened to the music, watched strange people and totally made out. O.K., I am kidding about the last part. But it was romantic. It is always nice to be able to spend time alone with Dan. It is so rare for us and I think it is such an integral part of a relationship. Ah, fer swell. I really enjoyed it and...SSSHHHHH.... don't tell Dan I am telling you this, he even got his groove on. That's right. You should have seen his moves.
By the way, I have added one of the songs James sang at the concert to my playlist. It was one I have never heard before and it was touching. It is called Shed A Little Light.
Below is the first verse of the song. I don't want to get all political on you and I don't even care who you vote for. But this is an interesting time in the history of our county. For some reason this song speaks to me and makes me realize what a profound impact the decisions being made now are going to have on my girls. Now didn't that entry go off in a completely different direction??

Let us turn our thoughts today
To Martin Luther King
And recognize that there are ties between us
All men and women
Living on the earth
Ties of hope and love
Sister and brotherhood
That we are bound together
In our desire to see the world become
A place in which our children
Can grow free and strong
We are bound together
By the task that stands before us
And the road that lies ahead
We are bound and we are bound
