I woke up just before 5 a.m. and waited until the clock read 5:05. 5:05 on 05/05/05-this made me smile. Then I rolled over and went back to sleep. I have a 13-month old baby, and sleep is precious.
Today is, of course, Cinco de Mayo, which is an important holiday, not just an excuse to get drunk on tequila or kahlua. Did I mention
tequila?
This weekend in Albany, NY is also the the Tulip Festival in Washington Park, featuring the Funk Brothers and the Family Stone Experience (featuring founding members of Sly and the Family Stone -"oooh-lawd!") on Saturday and Little Anthony and the Imperials on Sunday.
You don't know the Funk Brothers? They've played on more hit songs than anyone as the sensational backing band for Motown's biggest stars. Even if you don't live around Albany, find out more by renting or buying "Standing in the Shadows of Motown". I saw it in the theaters, enjoyed it tremendously, and learned a great deal about the music I love.
I would have served on the djt jury
