The Greatest Christmas Tree To Ever Be!

More Than Words..

“. . . is all you have to do to make it real” – Extreme

The acoustic ballad “More Than Words” by Extreme reached #1 on The Billboard’s Hot 100 in the US in March of 1991. A music ensemble formed out of a quadratic dressing room conundrum in the mid 80′s, EXTREME is still alive and acoustically well.

Jewel - Ten



....................... "Ten"- The latest single from Jewel's album, SWEET AND WILD.....................................

You can lose what you're not thankful for,
I don't want that to happen to you and me,
 Better count my blessings...  
One, you still move me; 
Two, three, you send chills right through me; 
Four, you keep me wanted more; 
 Five, when I look into your eye; 
Six, you're my best friend; 
Seven, that will never end; 
 Eight, nine, I don't know why, 
but thank God it happens every-time; 
By the time I get to ten, 
I can see how blessed I've been.  
I'll chose you all over again...





Here's a .99 download link to this single, should you like it... and as a loyal Jewel fan for a strong decade now, one of her favorite books, Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, which inspired her rarely heard beautiful little ditty titled,



"1,000 Miles Away" 
A teasing excerpt: 

"The sun shines golden, and I feel like my car
a little run down, a little beat up, maybe just a little green
maybe it's my battery, maybe it's my starter,
maybe my heart's too weak"
