Never had heard this word used, but after years of banging my head against walls in forums, I certainly know you'd better back up your argument with facts.

Much Marlboro Music

Go to Copper Label and sign up; after you've verified your age (and am not for sure what the process is for new members-I have participated in their contests and giveaways for years) you'll then be able to download any or all of 20 tunes in mp3 format. You can vote each day for your favorite band and each vote counts as an entry in the contest.

I want the jukebox.

The bands are relative unknowns and I've discovered that I really like country punk!

(the d/l song is great, sorry that the vid isn't so hot)

This is a "bump" because I go to the site every day to vote and get another chance in the contest and today I saw where they were featuring another song from each band/artist. More free music!

America the Beautiful



A neighbor of mine sent me the link to this lovely ecard at JacquieLawson.com. (and I'm sure she sent it from someone else who sent it to someone else who sent it to someone else....)

Watch the slideshow as pairs of state flowers are shown, then all come together in a beautiful bouquet at the end. (too bad the country isn't really like that)
