Loved the interview with Gigi Grazer. She sounds very down to earth, which makes me want to read her books. Visited her website and had a hard time choosing which one to buy first. They all look like great summer reads! Thanks for continuing to bring us such great authors!

Love this site!!! So glad I found you! I am a musician/singer-songwriter and music tends to be agist, but I have found that we baby boomers are diehards when it comes to following our dreams. So, I continue to perform, put out CDs, and last year I landed a part in M. Night Shyamalan’s next movie “The Last Airbender” to be released July 2, 2010. I can attest to the fact that age does not slow down us boomers! I encourage everyone to go for their dreams-it’s not too late! I plan to visit this site often. And, please feel free to visit my website at cdbaby.com/nancysadowl and read my bio and listen to clips of my music. My CDs are for sale there and if you’d like to receive my newsletter the info is there. Thanks for this blog radio!!!!!
