Kind of doubt it; I just do not see her with a beard,

Maybe form her own band and take it on the road like this young lady: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khamUp6m ... re=related

Rufus,

I listened to your link.I bookmarked it.Now I must tell you that my favorite singers were/are Frank Sinatra and Sarah Brightman.I will listen to some more of your links music because I do find it interesting.

Rufus,

I tried to listen to your link. Lacuna Coil... too detached for me. Ordinarily, when the lead singer looks as good as Cristina Scabbia

Cristina Scabbia, female lead for Lacuna Coil

I can sit through a bad performance. Not this time... I had to shut Live at Wacken 2007 down at 25 minutes.

I am sure Daisy will charm whoever hears her. (Hint: You can post videos on photobucket Daisy.)

Nice pipes. I assume there's a humidor behind the door on that elegant stand.

Thank you for the hospitality Arizona and Wayne! Now it's time to resume my life back at home!

Jon,

Just as you became acclimated to dry heat (again ) you had to go back home.

The official temperature today was 101, but my storage shed thermometer read 109. Maybe you escaped just in time.

Glad you made it back home OK. Bet the wife and Jon Jr. were happy to see you.

[2railjon]

Evening, Wayne! I haven't made it home quite yet as I have a 3 hour layover in Atlanta.
Last weekend we cooled off a bit by heading up some mountain called Sky Island (I think)
Nice trip!!

Perhaps Catalina Mountains? Mount Lemmon (in the Catalina's?) Summerhaven, the village on top of Mt. Lemmon?

Sky Island is any mountain rising out of the Sonoran Desert. Vegetation on the desert floor is cactus and scrub plus a few trees that can't decide whether to grow as a bush or a tree. The mountains are an entirely different environment, like islands in a sandy sea. As you move up a mountain you leave behind the desert grasslands that surround mountains and drive into open oak woodlands. Higher up you find pine forest. The pine forests are rather diverse. You can find ponderosa pine, Southwestern white pine, Apache pine, Chihuahua pine, Douglas fir, White fir and Corkbark fir all on one mountain range, the Catalina Mountains immediately north of Tucson. It is cool up there too.

If it was Catalina Mountains, you saw a lot of 2 to 3 foot high pine trees. In 2003 some idiot started a fire that burned 85,000 acres of tall pine.

Sikorsky S-64 (CH-54) Helicopters flew to Tucson from San Diego to fight the fire.

Efforts to put it out were fruitless. They could not even save any buildings (as I remember.) The copters sucked water from a lake up in the mountains, but had to return to the airport every two hours to re-fuel. It was quite a sight to see those strange looking aircraft going back and forth over Tucson for three weeks.

After burning for a month, summer rains arrived and put the fire out.

Isn't that exactly how life is. Every once in a while, the rabid, self-absorbed jackasses poke their heads up out of the primordial slime of their self-focused lives, and do something heinous that messes it up for the rest of us, who are just tryin' to make our way to and from work and play, make it through each traffic-light w/out being jacked, park w/out being mugged, and return home to find everything still where we left it? Eh? Huh? ......etc.

Or am I just being too cynical? Anybody agree, or do I need taught a lesson about life?
