Play That Funky Music

 If you know Carlin, you know she lives for music.  But did you know that her favorite above all else is funk?  Yes, it's true. She grew up on funk, soul and R&B....played records and danced with her brothers in the living room.

So let's just funk it out, shall we?

Funk is a music genre that originated in the mid-late 1960s when African American musicians blended soul music, jazz and R&B into a rhythmic, danceable new form of music. --wiki

ooh...these young guys got it goin' on!  Carlin rocked it out with these guys at The Jefferson theater!  Lucky.

George Clinton was the principal architect of P-Funk. He was the mastermind of the bands Parliament and Funkadelic during the 1970s and early 1980s, and launched a solo career in 1981. He has been cited as one of the foremost innovators of funk music, along with James Brown and Sly Stone. Clinton was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 with fifteen other members of Parliament-Funkadelic. -wiki

And saving the best for last:

This is Carlin's all time favorite song.  It has gotten her through Hell....

Let's all Keep on Keeping On.

We Love To Read...

...Carlin is reading "Intimate Chanel" and probably 3 other books at the same time.  

What are you reading?

Island Hopping

Yes, we know, autumn in Central Virginia is beautiful.  However....we love the islands this time of year and want to dash off to paradise.

How does Barbados sound?

More precise -- how does Sandy Lane Resort sound?  Let's have a look, shall we?

From here, we'll jaunt over to Petit St. Vincent.  I believe this is what heaven looks like.

Next up:  Spice Island Beach Resort.... even the name sounds exotic and sexy.

Heading to St. John?  (God, don't we LOVE St. John??)  Rent this villa.  It is the best of the best....

If you can tear yourself away from St. John, head up to Harbour Island and Pink Sands Resort:

Quite apropos that we end our excursion at Bitter End Yacht Club.

Realizing there are many, many resorts and gorgeous spots in the Caribbean, you might wonder how these were selected to be featured.  Well, Carlin's been to all of these....and she knows what she's talking about.
