one of my secrets... a guilty pleasure
---------------------------------------
We all have them, right? Since we are friends, I'll tell you my secret guilty pleasure... no, it's not betting on the ponies or illicit drugs. I love all types of music, from symphony to jug band, reggae to golden oldies, Celtic tunes to indie artists, I just love hearing music. So, here is that guilty pleasure~ Neil Diamond! that's right, Neil Diamond... not the coolest thing to admit but there you go! I could make the argument that he is the best US songwriter ever. I could tell you his appeal has spanned 40 years in the biz. He is so important that American Idol devoted an entire show to his music ( not that any REAL fan would've watched it ). None of that matters if you hear him belting out 'Red Red Wine', 'Solitary Man', 'Song Sung Blue', 'Cracklin' Rosie', or any of his other mega hits. He is a true genius. Some one VERY close to me has a theory about Neil Diamond... thinks he is the same dude who plays Jack Tripper's friend Larry on 'Three's Company'.
No matter to me... Neil Diamond rocks!
Here he is with one of my favs...go ahead, turn it up! You know you want to!!

Hey, you are right on with this entry. I'm also a huge fan of Neil Diamond's music. Maybe we could start a chapter of his fan club right here at Alpine Lake! See ya later.
