Reflecting on 15+ Years

Can't sleep - still ticked at Letterman was so much drivel and no time spent discussing the thought and purpose behind IGLYTI. They must think their audience is made up of idiots.

I'm really intrigued with 11 - I'm betting that Broken Umbrella will climb the charts higher than any song in the last several years. Great beat and a great message in these days of difficulty for so many. Let It Rain, Let It Rain - as long as we are together. All with a sound of "Chicago" - pretty cool.

Can't wait for Orlando on February 11, 2012. I recently turned 72 and am newly committed to reversing my heart disease despite my stents and quadruple bypass. It's prophetic to me that on 2/11/1959 I joined the Marine Corps and headed for Parris Island. The Corps is a lot like Martina. GREAT a what they do but even better for what they stand for. Bonnie and I have been fans since Martina played a struggling young country singer on Baywatch and have had the pleasure of seeing her several times but never have met her. Maybe the stars will align for a Meet-and-Greet in Orlando. Pretty amazing take to see the QUEEN and KING in one evening. Not too shabby.

Hoping that the person continues to rule the personality as you continue to add lustre to your career. I'm still hoping that you choose to do a Christmas Show kind of Dinah Shore style. You'd be great at it. While I think of it - find a way to meet Megyn Kelly of Fox. You guys have a lot in common. Oh, yes ... let me put in my order for a Blues and Big Band album ... Martina Sings the Blues and Martina Visits the Big Bands. You would be a SuperStar in any era I've ever heard and I remember the '40s clearly. Think of it as being part of your responsibility as an educator. God knows you did a great job with Timeless. We traveled some 13 hours to the Grand Ole Opry to hear you debut some of those songs. Wouldn't think a Yankee from the North Shore of Boston would have that much class would you ;-)

Finally getting sleepy (1:56am). Thanks for being you and enriching our lives and those of so many others. God Bless You Girl and Your Family.

Semper Fi,
