    She likes whiskey with her water She starts dancing when the stars come out She ain’t your typical preacher’s daughter She’ll leave you dreamin’ yeah there ain’t no doubt There’s a little bit of devil in her angel eyes She’s a little bit of heaven with a wild side Got a rebel heart a country mile wide There’s a little bit of devil in her angel eyes A little bit of devil in her angel eyes Saturday night she’s rockin’ out by the bonfire Flirting from that tail gate and crankin’ up the dial Come Sunday mornin’ she’ll be singing with the choir Drivin’ me crazy with that kiss me smile There’s a little bit of devil in those angel eyes She’s a little bit of heaven with a wild side Got a rebel heart a country mile wide There’s a little bit of devil in her angel eyes There’s a little bit of devil in her angel eyes And I can’t stop wonderin’ what it would feel like, to hold her all night She’s got that something, that sexy innocence, she must be heaven sent There’s a little bit of devil in her angel eyes She’s a little bit of heaven with a wild side Got a rebel heart a country mile wide There’s a little bit of devil in her angel eyes There’s a little bit of devil in those angel eyes She’s a little bit of heaven with a wild side Got a rebel heart a country mile wide There’s a little bit of devil in her angel eyes There’s a little bit of devil in her In those angel, in those angel eyes

    @ brown eyes
    Well, this one was the natural choice... Hey, where did we go Days when the rains came ? Down in the hollow Playing a new game, Laughing and a-running, hey, hey, Skipping and a-jumping In the misty morning fog with Our, our hearts a-thumping And you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown-eyed girl. Whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow Going down to the old mine with a Transistor radio. Standing in the sunlight laughing Hide behind a rainbow's wall, Slipping and a-sliding All along the waterfall With you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown-eyed girl. Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah Just like that Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah La dee dah. So hard to find my way Now that I'm all on my own. I saw you just the other day, My, how you have grown! Cast my memory back there, Lord, Sometime I'm overcome thinking about Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium With you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown-eyed girl. Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah Laying in the green grass Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah Dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee dah dee Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la Dee dah la dee dah la dee dah la D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d...

    Raindrops on roses and whiskers on Stanley.....Sorry wrong song..... Here we go..... Don't know what's come over you You've found someone new And don't it make my brown eyes blue I'll be fine when you're gone I'll just cry all night long Say it isn't true And don't it make my brown eyes blue Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies Give me no reasons, give me alibis Tell me you love me and don't let me cry Say anything but don't say goodbye I didn't mean to treat you bad Didn't know just what I had But honey now I do And don't it make my brown eyes Don't it make my brown eyes Don't it make my brown eyes blue Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies Give me no reasons, give me alibis Tell me you love me and don't let me cry Say anything but don't say goodbye I didn't mean to treat you bad Didn't know just what I had But honey now I do And don't it make my brown eyes Don't it make my brown eyes Don't it make my brown eyes blue

    and my eye color. "Blue skies smilin' at me Nothin' but blue skies do I see Bluebirds singin' a song Nothin' but bluebirds all day long Never saw the sun shinin' so bright Never saw things goin' so right Noticing the days hurrying by When you're in love, my how they fly Blue days, all of them gone Nothin' but blue skies from now on Blue skies smilin' at me Nothin' but blue skies do I see Never saw the sun shinin' so bright Never saw things goin' so right Noticing the days hurrying by When you're in love, my how they fly Blue days, all of them gone Nothin' but blue skies from now on" [Version 2] I was blue, just as blue as I could be Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me Then good luck came a-knocking at my door Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore Blue skies Smiling at me Nothing but blue skies Do I see Bluebirds Singing a song Nothing but bluebirds All day long Never saw the sun shining so bright Never saw things going so right Noticing the days hurrying by When you're in love, my how they fly Blue days All of them gone Nothing but blue skies From now on I should care if the wind blows east or west I should fret if the worst looks like the best I should mind if they say it can't be true I should smile, that's exactly what I do

    Boom Shaka Laka......Congratulations Ms. Katniss!!!!!! Happy Friday Kristine..... Now on to pressing matters....it's cuz rainbows are cool, good luck, pots of gold, end of the rain, sunshine, unity, diversity....all in one simple natural light refractory prism..... Somewhere over the rainbow way up high There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far Behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow. Why then, oh, why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow why, oh, why can't I?

    Why are there so many songs about rainbows And what's on the other side Rainbows are visions But only illusions And rainbows have nothing to hide So we've been told And some choose to believe it I know they're wrong, wait and see Someday we'll find it The rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers, and me Who said that every wish Would be heard and answered When wished on the morning star Somebody thought of that And someone believed it Look what it's done so far What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing And what do we think we might see Someday we'll find it The rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers, and me All of us under its spell We know that it's probably magic Have you been half asleep And have you heard voices? I've heard them calling my name Is this the sweet sound That called the young sailors? The voice might be one and the same I've heard it too many times to ignore it It's something that I'm supposed to be Some day we'll find it The rainbow connection The lovers, the dreamers, and me

    I like this topic, good for a Friday. This one's a two-for... Nights in white satin, Never reaching the end, Letters I've written, Never meaning to send. Beauty I'd always missed With these eyes before, Just what the truth is I can't say anymore. 'Cause I love you, Yes, I love you, Oh, how, I love you. Gazing at people, Some hand in hand, Just what I'm going thru They can understand. Some try to tell me Thoughts they cannot defend, Just what you want to be You will be in the end, And I love you, Yes, I love you, Oh, how, I love you. Oh, how, I love you. Nights in white satin, Never reaching the end, Letters I've written, Never meaning to send. Beauty I'd always missed With these eyes before, Just what the truth is I can't say anymore.

Excellent suggestion. rrrrrgrrrrr can be our coordinator to lead the GD50 2nd set mmm bop-bopping with hand signals. Add "practicing mmm-bop-bop sign language" to your to-do list. Alternatively, just using "coming in for landing" and "prepare for take-off" hand signals can be used and will be universally understood by everyone.

I sure they wont let me have one but I wanted to make sure. Can we take a go pro into the concerts ? It says no video . no camera with longer than 6 inches , again your safe totem ,. they also say no item will be saved which is taken from us. I really wanted to film the crowd , and the party but of course also do not want to have to rush to hotel to get rid of items . What are your ideas?

If the security checkpoints are anything like the NFL (at least in Buffalo), it will be very difficult getting any cameras in that exceed specs...a good quality lens on a cell phone is another story. Have a good day, grab some coffee for the road....king

Some hometown NHL action. So will the Bolts steal the face off Chicago? Jumped in for the presale Cup tickets over the weekend and had sticker shock. I'd need to see the Stones open the game for the price of those tickets.

Steve - Rich nailed it...I wouldn't risk them snatching your GoPro. Bet the bank you'll walk through a metal detector and if it were me, I'd just use the video capabilities of your iPhone - it shoots in amazing HD. Kyle - your 2nd cup chance in 10 years. There are cities that wait a lifetime. No better live sport, bro, so if you get a chance, I'd get your but in the building - amazing fun !!! I don't have a dog in this fight but I have to admit...the Blackhawk's home sweater is the best in the business :-)

Steal this face? The headline looks like speed vs. experience. Feeling confident? Bet you an over-priced beer at Soldier Field the Hawks prevail. Either way it's going to be great entertainment. Fever is running high here. Chicagoans love their Hawks. Sweaters, Ts, Caps everywhere. It's a great time of the year. Ticket prices for the finals at the United Center make FTW look like a bargain.

One possibility may be to hook up with a taper. The security guys rarely can tell a go pro from a tape deck, preamp, ADC etc. I will most likely be bringing some of my gear but I will give it to someone with a taper ticket if I can't swing a taper ticket myself. Missing Jerry today, but looking forward to Trey.....

Give me a song-a About a son-a gun that went and done her wrong-a. But keep it clean-a, With a cottage small-a by a waterfall-a, Any sob-a that will throb-a to a bluebird's call-a, I love, I love to sing! I was born a singin' fool-a, Lah-de-dah! Ol' Major Bowes is gonna spot me, Got through Yale with boula-boula, Lah-de-dah! Old microphone's got me! I love to sing-a, I love to wake up with the south-a in my mouth-a, And wave a flag-a, With a cheer for Uncle Sammy and another for my mammy, I love to sing! The swingin'est, Hot singin'est, Bell-ringin'est, Song singin'est High tootin'est, Sky tootin'est, I love to sing!
