Before the anthem

Poor guy was terrified

He started a little hoarse, but it got better.

“Really, only one thing stood out: David Cook singing the national anthem with “I love being famous, I am getting laid nonstop” vigor. I have to say, the kid is a star. He carried himself like one of the biggest stars in the building (and maybe he was). Still, I couldn’t help but think about how much fun it would have been had David Archuleta won “American Idol” and gotten the Game 3 assignment, then sang the anthem and done his sheepish, overwhelmed, “Oh my God, I can’t believe you guys liked it, I’m fighting back the tears” routine as KG stared him down and waited for him to get off the court. That would have been fantastic.”

They do video camera footage, if you want one, when you do a Tandem Skydive and they put music to the video.

I thought I had explained my online name before...... I have done numerous Tandem skydives. I love the sport..........I just can't do it on a regular basis or learn to do it on my own, for a lot of reasons......cost, trust in myself to be able to land it safely , age............. I would sure love to though, maybe in another life.....

Anyway.........one of my skydives videos used the song "Hero" and everytime I hear it.........it brings back such great memories..........

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Sky! I didn't know you did that!

Way cool.

Cookie's latest video blog! He looks and sounds so tired They have written seven songs so far for his upcoming CD!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQzZQwpJ2bg

Who is he writing with? Anyone with some creds?

Ryan Tedder of One Republic (they are so good!) and Jesse McCartney who wrote "Bleeding Love". Interesting combo of Rock and Pop. I think they will all do really well together!
