SAY HELLO TO MARIA WEDNESDAY!



Meet Maria of "Nightspell World" at:

Good Morning! Hey, I wanted to introduce all of you to a cool Blog Bud of mine from the Northern Coast of Spain. Her name is Maria and sometimes a nice person gets lost in the blog world shuffle. Maria is a gem! She loves metal bands along with: "Mozart, Vivaldi, Beethoven..to Rainbow, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Whitesnake, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Helloween, Stratovarius, At Vance. Oliver Hartmann, Rob Haldford, Dio, Bonnie Tyler, Bangles, Cramberries, U2,Carlos Nuñez..The Chieftains..and many many more".

I've enjoyed following Maria as she learns English and she has a great spirit of Friendship and Love. Well, last night I stopped by to say HI! and saw that she had posted an appearance of The Rolling Stones on the old Ed Sullivan Show. This made me chuckle for a few reasons. First, I couldn't see any electric guitar cables from Keith Richards or Bill Wyman's axes! Second, a young Keith Richards looks like a high school prankster and I find that funny. Lastly, it's hilarious to see how stiff Sullivan is introducing Mick and the Boys. Then Maria posted a present day live outdoor concert of The Stones and it's just amazing how long this band has been around! Anyway, Maria is very cool and I hope you'll stop over and say hello to her. She's a cool blogger!

Aside from watching Rick Springfield playing his axe, Keith is similarly an amazing musician in concert. Go have a look, say "HI" to Maria and enjoy your Wednesday!

Hi Maria, glad Michael introduced you to us :)

Keith used to be a hottie! Isn't it sad that at some point his face "froze that way?" I wonder if his mother warned him...

lol!

Maria: You Rock! :)

jean-luc-picard: Maria has a fun blogsite. Stop by! :(

Carolyn: There's no other way to say this. Were it not for divine providence, Keith would be dead by now. He is among my Top 5 favorite guitarists, but his cigarette smoking isn't helping his facial complexion nor the damage from the many drugs he is thankfully free of. I really do believe the band sounds better today than 40 years ago on so many fronts. And I wish Keith and the boys many years of continued success!!

I'm glad to know that someone else doesn't think it's crazy to enjoy classical as well as classic rock. Hi Maria.

Hi to Maria!!!

they really ought to use Keith Richard's before/after photos in the anti drug/alcohol programs!

Patti: You are so right! It has taken so many fantastic actors and musicians from us!! I hate drugs. I know I sound like Frances McDormand in "Almost Famous" but that's how I feel.
