It's a bit late... but does anyone have any interest in going to Rocking Horse Saturday afternoon?
Okay, to add some detail- How about meeting there at 12 pm? Little later than usual. Then perhaps lunch somewhere and Coldstone? (must have Coldstone. ;) )

So a while ago I was looking for new music, primarily because I wanted to get something surprising for the husband for his birthday. Naturally, this led to my talking to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
losgunna about it. She recommended (among other singers) someone named Nicole Atkins. I'd never heard of her, and so some of her songs were played for me. Her voice astounded me. She has a full voice, one with actual depth to it!
I did end up buying her CD- Neptune City, but for me, not the hubby. ;) It's been playing quite regularly on my iPod ever since. :) And honestly... when I first heard "The Call" by Regina Spektor (the song is on the soundtrack for Prince Caspian) I had to wonder what Nicole Atkins could have done with it... Though I like the song as is.
So I must share. Embedding these two isn't possible- they've been uploaded to YouTube by Nicole (or someone using her name...), but do go watch/listen. :)
Maybe Tonight: Fun video

The Way It Is: kinda shakey camera work in this video, but her voice comes through. :)

Here's one I can embed, but I will cut to be kind. :)
