RAD had the absolute HONOR of performing as the opening act for THE Sharon Cuneta and her daughter KC Concepcion at the Sharon Cuneta - Mega Thirty Tour at the Peppermill Resort and Casino in Reno, NV last weekend!
It was an absolutely FANTASTIC show and RAD is happy to report that we've had nothing but great reviews!
We would like to thank each and everyone who came out to Reno to show support, as well as those who's spirits were right there with us even though they couldn't be there in person.
We had the TIME OF OUR LIVES up there and we can only hope to have an experience like that in the future!
PS: PICTURES AND VIDEOS ARE DEFINITELY ON THE WAY and will be up ASAP!
Today, I sat at my keyboard, playing a few random chords when I stumbled across a chord progression that sounded kind of familiar. After playing it a couple more times, I realized it was the progression to Desperado, by the Eagles. I started guessing the words and mumbling a few when I realized that I never really knew the lyrics! So I looked it up on YouTube and MAN, was I AMAZED. Not only did they create a masterpiece, musically, but they took the essence of their theme and matched it PERFECTLY with the music. I have to say, that in my opinion, Desperado is one of the most beautifully written songs of all time. I've been trying to get back to my roots musically and, based on today's findings, I can say that I'm definitely on the right track!
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You've been out ridin' fences,
for so long - now.
Ohh you're a hard one.
I know that you've got your reasons.
These things that are pleasin'you
Can hurt you somehow.
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if she's able.
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table.
But you only want the ones
That you can't get.
Desperado,
Ohhhh you aint getting no younger.
Your pain and your hunger,
They're driving you home.
And freedom, ohh freedom.
Well that's just some people talking.
Your prison is walking through this world all alone.
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine.
It's hard to tell the night time from the day.
And you're losing all your highs and lows
aint it funny how the feeling goes
away...
Desperado,
Why don't you come to your senses?
come down from your fences, open the gate.
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you.
You better let somebody love you.
(let sombody love you)
You better let somebody love you...ohhh..hooo
before it's too..oooo.. late.
I wonder if Dancin' Kim is still available. We TOTALLY need these dance moves for our Reno show. Sharon would LOVE it! LOL
Just browsing through old videos and came across this one again. Enjoy!
On behalf of RAD, I would like to wish you a very Happy Easter!
Here's a few fun facts about Easter that I found:
1. Each Easter season, Americans buy more than 700 million Marshmallow Peeps, shaped like chicks, as well as Marshmallow Bunnies and Marshmallow Eggs, making them the most popular non-chocolate Easter candy.
2. As many as 4.2 million Marshmallow Peeps, bunnies, and other shapes can be made each day.
3. Ham came to be the traditional favorite for Easter dinner because in pre-refrigeration days, hogs were slaughtered in the fall and cured for six to seven months. Just in time for Easter dinner...
4. In 1878 President Hayes and his wife Lucy officially opened the White House grounds to the children of the area for egg rolling on Easter Monday.
5. The most famous decorated Easter eggs were those made by the well-known goldsmith, Peter Carl Faberge. In 1883 the Russian Czar, Alexander, commissioned Faberge to make a special Easter gift for his wife, the Empress Marie.
6. The largest Easter egg ever made was constructed in Vegreville, AB. It weighed 5,000 pounds, and was 25.7 feet long
Even More Easter Facts
Churchgoers wear at least one new item of clothing to Easter services
7. Americans spend 2 billion dollars on Easter goodies, and eat 7.1 billion pounds of Easter goodies each year! With 60 million chocolate bunnies being sold each Easter.
8. The name Easter comes from Eostre, an ancient Anglo-Saxon goddess, originally of the dawn. In pagan times an annual spring festival was held in her honor. Some Easter customs have come from this and other pre-Christian spring festivals. Others come from the Passover feast of the Jews, observed in memory of their deliverance from Egypt.
9. Yellow Peeps are the most popular, followed by pink, lavender, blue, and white.
10. In 1953, it took 27 hours to create a Marshmallow Peep. Today it takes six minutes.
