Welcome to my world...

Hello Okie’s Blog Followers!

My partner, Paige, and I are big fans of “So You Think You Can Dance.”  We are both on the same page when it comes to the name of the show because it tends to make one think of either “America’s Got Talent” or “Dancing with the Stars.”  Thing is, this show is actually all about a mass of insanely talented dancers all hoping for a shot at fame.  Even during the qualifications there are no dancers who make us cringe.  It is simply a matter of one dancer being better than the other and we appreciate the honesty of the show.

All that said, this first post of mine is about the music.  During one of the dances, there was this amazing cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way.”  That song is one of my favorites so I was intrigued.  I tracked it down eventually and found it was done by the singer Lissie.  I promptly went to iTunes and was able to find it.  Of course, I bought it.  From there I found her cover of Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness.”  Oh my goodness.  I could listen to that song many, many times a day.  The music, her voice…they both hit me at a level that I am never able to explain.  There are simply times when I come across something that makes me wish I had the artistic talent it takes to make that form of art come to be.

So…here you have it…my first blog post.  What I am telling you is to look her up.  See what you think of this cover work of hers.  If you like it, keep checking in on me…I might have more for you.  If you don’t, well…keep coming back.  I might just have something for you in the future that you would never expect.
