Everyone wish my old BF good luck Grammy vibes tomorrow!

-

My very "first BF" (see note below), Americana Country Music Legend Jim Lauderdale, is currently in the running to win a Grammy tomorrow.

(It also happens to be my birthday tomorrow, as well, so I'm feeling lucky for him and asking everyone to wish him happy-winning vibes, as well.)

His album, "Could We Get Any Closer?" is nominated for Best Bluegrass Album in the 52nd Grammy Awards, and if he wins it will be his third. (Interestingly, he's up against Steve Martin, also nominated in the same category.)

I just wanted to say that Jim's a terrific person, and one of the finest, most driven and talented musicians on the planet and nobody deserves more recognition for his consistently perfect contributions to the world of music than Lauderdale does.

So we're rooting for him tomorrow and asking you to keep your fingers crossed for him, as well.

Here's a link to his awesome Web site where you'll find information on his nominated album, "Could We Get Any Closer?" nominated for a Grammy for Could We Get Any Closer?

And you can also click this link to hear some clips from this amazing album.

Good luck, Jim!

Note: The term "Boyfriend" is 100% laughable, because the truth is there really isn't anyone less inclined to be mistaken as anyone's BF, ever, than Jim Lauderdale. The guy has always eaten, slept and, breathed work, but as a 17 yr. old college freshman, it was a comforting illusion. (Yes, that's right. I did say 17.)

Unfortunately for the more specialized musical categories, such as bluegrass, they are not included in the on air part of the show.

However, Lauderdale lost out to Steve Martin this year, anyway.

Mysterious Skin: Amazing night of theater at East West Playersysi

-
Last night I made my way up and out of Orange County to go see Mysterious Skin, written by Prince Gomolvilas now enjoying it's Los Angeles premiere at East West Players. ***Note:  I am not a reviewer.  I am not a critic.  (I married one, which is why I can say with confidence, I am not this.  If you want real reviews of Mysterious Skin  you'll have to look to other publications wise enough to have send their press in to cover this show now running at East West Players.) Me? Currently, I am just an Orange County mom who loves theater almost as much as she loves writing.  (True, I used to act, but now I just "mom."  And I write.  But, again to clarify: Not a critic.) And these her blogged thoughts are just my day-after impressions after having seen some great theater in Los Angeles last night. I have to say, I was in a hurry.  I had my kids to juggle,  too pick up from their schools...Dance classes, etc.  Hustling them home (interesting choice of words, in r

I tried to flush Schaeffer's sweater down the toilet.

Especially when those paths go back even farther than high school.  I think he and I were butting heads as far back as elementary school! If my memory serves me right, Schaeffer and I ended up, briefly, in the Guilford Central School together.  Fall 1968.  Yep. I was a newly transplated girl from New Orleans dropped unceremoniously into a tiny, extremely humble elementary school out in the boondocks of southern Vermont.  I had NO idea what the hell I was doing there and was suffering my own case of "Other-itis."   I In my case, as an only child of often charming, but highly eccentric parents, my wild ride hit some very bumpy patches, More on that later. Back to Eric:  See as a newcomer that year to Vermont from New Orleans I had an accent.  I wore dresses and probably continuing too make my parents happy by literally curtseying to the adults they trotted me out to meet. Politely.  Of course.  That was my job.   I can promise you, however, once you curtsy to a farmer, y
