Got to brag here. Yesterday a friend (yes Ron, on of the many I have) took me up to Shepherd's Bush to the Jonathan Ross show (never heard of the man, but was forewarned for good reason) because he was interviewing the Osmond's, and one of his other guests was Neil Diamond. Of course the Osmond's were wonderful, but WOW! Neil Diamond performed and I wanted to run out and buy tickets to one of his concerts. What a performer! He sang one of his new songs, then sang Sweet Caroline, then Jonathan Ross asked if he would sing Love on the Rocks, so he did, coming out into the audience (I was on the front row of course). He stood right in front of me at one point, and he put such emotion into the performance. I was very impressed to say the least.

Right, that's my update. I'm off to Wales (Hey-on-Wye, so hopefully any pictures I take can be submitted as it's on the border with England). Probably no computer access for a few days.

Neil Diamond? Is he still alive? LOL! Laughing Acutally, I like old Neil quite a bit and have several of his songs from iTunes.

The Osmonds!!!  I think Marie is lovely, and I had a huge crush on Donny when I was 9 years old. LOL!

Oh he is very much alive, and not that old, maybe Ron's age :)

I like his music, not enough to go to a concert, well until I saw him live, and he was so good I know you'd get your moneys worth.

I've heard the the it never shows the audience on the Jonathan Ross show, so we have to wait and see. If it does show me, I have to confess now that it won't be very flattering, as when I had my picture taken with Jonathan Ross, I looked like I was about 80.

I certainly would have enjoyed seeing him having enjoyed many of his songs for over 40 years now ( I started young!) and my own request list would have to include -Solitary Man; Forever In Blue Jeans, Cherry Cherry, Cracklin' Rosie, Kentucky Woman for starters.

Hardly surprising one of The Monkees biggest hits--I'm A Believer---was written by him.

I wonder how many of today's recording artists will still be touring in 40+ years time and still wowing the crowds?

Well he will be on the Jonathan Ross show this coming Friday if you want to see him interviewed and singing. I don't know which of the three songs they will show him performing, but I hope one of them is Love on the Rocks, as he did such a wonderful job (and I might get my mug on the TV screen to boot).
