- Hanson - Where Are They Now?
I will admit it: I have "MMMBop" on my Ipod. Now, it's not like I absolutely worship Hanson - I don't have their poster on my bedroom wall or, at least, I don't anymore - it's just that I kind of like their music. Love 'em, hate 'em, or make voodoo dolls of 'em in your spare time, it's hard to deny that this trio can carry a tune. But, since the craze of "MMMBop" has ended, where exactly have they been carrying one? - American Idol: Are the Heroics Coming to a Close?
I have to admit that American Idol, or A.I. as the real cool kids say (for the purpose of this article, I am one of the cool kids), is a good show and a great concept. Not only has it launched the careers of several talented people who may have never been discovered, but it unites America in a celebration of song. With the music programs in so many schools subject to budget cuts, it's nice to see America supporting the Arts: this will not be the day the music dies. - The Gamble Rogers Festival
For those of you who are planning on attending the 12th Annual Gamble Rogers Folk Festival in St. Augustine, Florida on May 4, 5, and 6 of this year, you may know that this festival showcases a variety of musical talent, ranging from Michael Smith, to The Burns Sisters Band, from Amy Carol Webb, to The Cook Trio. You may also know that this festival offers performances by local musicians, contests, arts and crafts, and discounted local accommodations. What you might not know, however, is the story behind Gamble Rogers. Its not only a tale of talent and tragedy, but also of uncompromised heroism.
