My new favorite band is now The Fray. They're based out of Denver, and are absolutely amazing.
Think: A mix of Coldplay, U2, Keane, and Lifehouse all
fused into one band. They're most definitely at the top of my favorites
list right now. New CD out: called "How To Save A Life." I suggest
getting up on these guys before everyone else does, because they will
be an awesome group if they keep putting out songs like the ones on
this CD.

In other news, last night: Andy Williams at the King Center. Got to sing with him for 20 minutes. Of course, only received one piece of music when we were supposed to receive four, so Encore learned 3 songs in the matter of one and a half hours. I love being with such a talented group of people.
Found out the school musical is "Pippin." Very 70's. A smaller cast
than in previous years. Look for it the second weekend of March.

Exams finished up today, and, in a sense of irony, the exam period was
disrupted by an electrical fire. That marks something like the 8th time
in a semester that there has been some sort of power/electric problem
at the school. That's about 8 times too many, if you ask me, but that's
what you get for allowing condo builders to build during the school
year.
So, now, I get to relax, take 3 weeks off, do some Christmas shopping,
and hang out with the family and friends. If I don't see you before
then, here's wishing you a very Happy Holiday of whatever you believe.
