I've shared Broadway's "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", "Mama Mia" and the theme song from "The Lion King". Dialed in Elton John's "Crocodile Rock", Tim McGraw's "Don't Take the Girl" and Faith Hill's "Breathe". I think with the exception of Air Supply's "All Out of Love", they were mostly received with a good attitude. (And may I add here: at a certain age, grown men should stop wearing spandex and leather on stage.)
Well, on Thursday evening I went with several fellow teachers to see "MercyMe" in concert. Their "I Can Only Imagine" has been a best selling Christian song for over a decade. That's a lifetime in musical years. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire evening, and I couldn't help sharing the song with Married Daughter via cell phone. I am sure she will call to thank me soon. Or not.
Concerts of 2011 are a wee bit difference from my teenaged experiences. Remember holding Bic and Zippo lighters for mood? No longer necessary. The Iphone has it covered for you.
My phone, alas, is from prehistoric days and does not download apps. But I can still share music from remote locations.
Young Son and Married Daughter: I'm sure you will be thrilled to hear that Barry Manilow may be in my neck of the woods soon. Stay by your phone. Love, Mom

My phone doesn't take apps either, though I am thinking it's time to move on technologically and maybe very soon. Love the lighter app.
My girls showed me the walkie talkie app.... they can hit it speak a message, it ding the other person then they can hit and send a message back.... that one facinates me... may make me fill like I am not that far away from the.... well, I have a smart phone but not smart enough to have apps!
So if I do seem to see one of their phones sitting around I might just hit that app and send a ding! :)
Oh, you make me laugh. Barry Manilow! I bet they're holding their breath. (I have to admit, I don't mind him myself--in small doses.)
I haven't had a cell phone at all for very many years - about 3 I think!! It drove my kids crazy that I didn't have one so I finally broke down and joined the mobile phone age:-)I thought I got along just fine for all those years without one ... just saying!
yes, i got the phone call from the Mercy Me concert. I was listening to my voicemails on speaker phone while i was cooking and Joe said "what IS that loud noise?" TO which I replied, "oh, mom must have gone to another concert!" :) Hope it was great fun! love you momma
