The Raspberries Are Back!

With the changing of the seasons, many blog sites previously listed on my blog roll have been closed. I'm pleased to welcome some new sites that I feel you will find interesting and fun!

On the music scene, The Raspberries returned to the limelight in a huge way after 30 years with a double CD/DVD entitled "Live On The Sunset Strip". I recommend it! They were a favorite of former Beatle John Lennon and I loved them as a young kid growing up. The Raspberries are: Jim Bonfanti, Wally Bryson, Eric Carmen and Dave Smalley. They are a legendary power-pop band with soaring harmonies and awesome guitar riffs. They are a "must-see" in concert!

Connie Douglas was inspired to create the series “Finding your Shnnoogle” after witnessing a friend's child fighting a life-threatening illness and seeing the love and kindness that was shared between him, his family and many others. She is the creator of a line of greeting cards, "Serendipity’s by Connie", and the popular comic strip "Zooter", featured in newspapers and magazines in Alberta, Canada where Connie expanded her repertoire as a fine art painter with the creation of Native American spiritual works. Shnnoogle's focus is "making the world a better place one act of kindness at a time".

Morning, Sage: It was. But in this recording ("Live on the Sunset Strip") after 30 years, Eric has stated that these songs sound so fresh, so vibrant and exactly the way he always envisioned them. Good music like this will never die and it not only holds up, it rivals a lot of newer artists. I listen to these guys and I'm just blown away at their musicianship! I can't wait to see them in-concert next year some time! :)
