There's a song that Donny Osmond sings and I remember thinking the first time I realized it was him that he's a better singer than people realize. I just can't remember the name of it.

According to my children, I rock. I told them that I wasn't watching for the note sequences to light up and react as I was just depending on my own knowledge of the rhythm. Scorpions, Cream, Steve Miller Band, Pat Benatar, GNR. They rock (and I rocked). (Even Poison. Apparently one of our hosts was shocked to know that I loved Poison in high school. If she only had an idea.) Nonsequitor on great music – I played Guitar Hero for the first time on NYE. According to my children, I rock.

They always think of when I fell in love with my first husband. Bill still thinks our song is "You are the Sunshine of My Life" by Stevie Wonder, which is really his and Julie's song, but he's a sweetheart about it and I've stopped correcting him LOL. You get a little older, these things aren't as big a deal.
