I just had to blog about the AWESOME concert I saw last night. Elton John and Billy Joel. I am AMAZED by their talents. These two can JAM…I mean, they are older gentlemen who can play the piano like nobody’s bizness and can sing with the best of them. I have a college friend who reminds me a bit a Billy Joel…Brian, if you are reading this, you need to be on stage, brother! Billy Joel even busted out some dance moves (they looked A LOT like my Dad’s dance moves).
Just to let you all know, there are several things that get me teary-eyed. One of them being the two talented men I saw last night in concert. Another is when Cal Ripken hit a home run in his last All-Star appearance at Safeco Field, when Paul Allen raised the 12th-Man Flag at Qwest Field, when the Saints won their first play-off game after Hurricane Katrina (who dat, Brandi!), when the Seahawks won the Championship game to get into the SuperBowl, and watching athletes cross the finish line at a marathon. I have been fortunate enough to see all these things in person and if you have the opportunity to witness stuff like this, DO IT…Carpe Diem my friends!!
I was just so inspired by their talents, I sang all the way home. That is also why I love my job. Sometimes I get emails from people saying that I am their inspiration…what a honor! Seriously, that is the best thing in the world, what a compliment, thank you!
Well, since a photo blog is pointless without any pics, here are some cell phone pics from the concert. You can’t really see much, but it is my proof I was there.
Billy Joel, Elton John, if you are reading this blog, leave me some blog-love. LOL!!.jpg "ejbj")
