Music Review: Nuttin' But Stringz

Who would have thought that my next fabulous music discovery would have come as a result of watching Noggin? As StickyBun-Scotti was watching Jack's Big Music Show (the "Jack's Big Oops" episode) the other night, I noticed that even though I was plugging away at some homework on the computer, I had started bobbing my head to the music that was playing.  When I looked up, I was surprised to see that the musical guests were two guys playing violins with a hip-hop beat in the background.  After a little bit of research, I found out that the group is called Nuttin' But Stringz and is comprised of two brothers that were classically trained at Juilliard.

I downloaded a few songs off of their album, Struggle from the Subway to the Charts, from iTunes, and I have been enjoying them all week.  If you get a chance to download these, they are definitely a crowd-pleaser for kids and adults.  I highly recommend downloading "Broken Sorrow" and "Thunder"...my two faves from the album.

Economic Outlook

This was just too funny not to share...

If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago you would have $49.00 left.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.

With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214.00 cash.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

It's called the 401-Keg plan.

A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found Americans drink, on the average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon. How about those CAFE standards.

No Kitties Were Harmed In The Writing of This Post

I had to steal this pic from TerriblyShy's latest blog post about StickyBun-Scotti. As you can see from the picture, StickyBun-Scotti is notorious for harassing TerriblyShy's and The Boy Dentist's cats whenever he goes for a visit. You can find the full story with additional pics on TerriblyShy's blog.
