Some crushes never die . . .

My posts are never as timely as they should be. But last week Beth and Chad took me to see Martin Sexton perform in SLC (best present ever, guys!). You'd think after 5 times I'd get kind of sick of seeing him (heaven knows I have of other artists!), but him? Nope. I still swoon every time. The news of the night is that he jumped off stage and confessed he's secretly loved me for years and that even though we are both happily married to other people, I truly am the inspiration for "Gypsy Woman" and I'll always have a hold on his heart.

No? Okay, the real news of the night (for fellow MS fans) was that he is now performing with a band! Like me, you may be disappointed since MS's one -man-band was something you had to see to believe. But really they were too good together to not enjoy it. The harmony (vocal and instrumental) was impressive even to a non-musician like myself. So if you havent heard, check out his new album "Sugarcoating" (http://www.martinsexton.com/). Beth, I tried to get "Stick Around" to play on my blog this week since your rockin' out was so rudely interupped by a beer shower, but I couldnt find it with my limited techy skills. Instead, you all (all three of you!) can enjoy the classic "Diner" that's got you swinging as you read. :)

  2. OH...Martin, Martin, Martin. How can you NOT love him? Zach isn't feelin' the love like I do. I can imagine that he's awesome with a band. I think I'd like him no matter what. :) Glad you had a fun birthday! How many days until baby 2 arrives?
