thankful thursday - a carbon leaf date.

this week, blakey & i got to see "our band" in concert!!  blakey introduced me to carbon leaf in college when he decided i needed to learn more about music.  because, confession, i know pretty much nothing about music.

{the first album he gave me was the rolling stones.  yes, i had heard of them, but i couldn't have named a single song.  turns out - i don't love the stones.  i know i know.  you think i am wrong.  & that's ok.  but i still don't really like them.}

carbon leaf was his second attempt.  & it was a huge success!  i listened to "life less ordinary" & "what about everything?" every single morning on my way to my internship in the summer of 2006.  every single morning.  & carbon leaf will forever remind me of that summer & my love.  

fabulous show.  fabulous memories.  fabulous date night with the byrds.  

i hope you can think of something today for which you are thankful.

love love,

kjp.

the glory fires.

i finally got to see the glory fires in person.  & they were even more fabulous than i imagined.

remember when my kitchen twin left urban a few months back {HERE}?  this is matthew's band.  lee bains iii & the glory fires.  oh my gosh, they are so darn good.

{that's matthew on the left playing the guitar}

their album is in my car cd player.  in fact, it's the only cd i actually listen to.  but live was even better.

if you have the opportunity to hear them live, go.  they are touring all over the country & canada.  check out their website.  {impressive plug, right?}

{rock on, matt}

love love,

kjp.
