The Osmonds

Hello everyone, hope you are all having a great Monday night, I sure am as I just finished watching the Osmonds 50th Anniversary Reunion on PBS. Yes, that's right, I said the Osmonds and PBS! (God bless the Arts) I never hide or deny the fact that "it's gotta be Rock n Roll Music, if you wanna dance with Dan". But I want to make one thing perfectly clear and clear up any confusion (per all the emails I have been recieving), I am first and foremost a MUSIC fan.

While the beat of Rock n Roll pumps through my veins, and the spirit of Elvis hovers around my aura at all times, I also possess a very diverse and wide open love of music of all genres. So hold onto your hats and brace yourself, but I personally feel that the Osmond Brothers are some of the finest entertainers to ever step onto a stage and I will debate anyone who disagrees till the proverbial "cows come home".

Open up your mind and listen to some of the great tunes these guys have put out over the years, they may not fit the profile of "cool" to alot of people, but to me the Osmonds are very cool for sticking to their principles through the years and cranking out some great entertainment.

While Donny and Marie have garnered the most attention thru the years, Merrell Osmond has got one fantastic voice that can hold it's own with almost anyone past, present and future.

My bottom line is the Osmonds can Rock, call'em corny, bubble gum, whatever, but if you have a brain you should have the abililty to clear your ears and hear some great music.

To the Osmonds I say, you can definitely CALL ME DAN!!

By the way, I also love the music of Tom Jones, Tony Orlando, Wayne Newton, Andy Williams, Neil Diamond, Tony Bennet and many others. Don't even think about dissin Mr. Sinatra.

Call me Dan.
