Color Me PINK

Is it any wonder that music evokes such passion? What a night for the Grammy Awards. Is it just my imagination, or was it one of the most incredible shows ever? From the moment Sir Elton took the stage with Lady Gaga, we were mesmerized.

It's tough to choose just one highlight; but surely, Pink owned the night, with her astounding performance of "Glitter In The Air". Have you ever...???

"Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care?" Pink

The MJ tribute was a stunner, its meaning driven home by the children. I was so moved.

Joe and I had watched "60 Minutes" prior to the show.... sooooooooo, we were not one bit surprised that Beyoncé went home with six trophies. They were not flukes; she is a brilliant talent, following in the footsteps of the Boomers' Barbra.

Taylor Swift! What a story! We are thrilled for her and loved seeing her paired with Stevie. Though not the strongest vocal number of the night, who cares? Certainly, Ms. Nicks has nothing to prove. Come to think of it, neither does Ms. Swift.

Always more of a male-crooner fan, I was totally in awe of all the female talent last night. Sure, I was lovin' Andrea; but how about that Mary J. equaling him with her vocals?

There is no better way to welcome February than via the afterglow of such a memorable night. I am so grateful for the inspiring gift of song.
