A Few of My Favourite Things

Great Friends, Good Food and Decent Wine
(in that order)

Art (Impressionists and Canada's Group of Seven)

Architecture (Frank Lloyd Wright in particular)

Live Theatre - especially the Stratford Shakespeare Festival (North America's Leading Classical Theatre) in Stratford, Ontario - www.stratfordfestival.ca

Laughter - especially Monty Python, Firesign Theater and improv conceptual humour

Movies - "A Fish Called Wanda", "Truly, Madly, Deeply", "Love, Actually", "Bull Durham", "The Commitments", "When Harry Met Sally", to name a few

Chocolate - I believe everyone deserves one really serious vice in life ... and Chocolate (especially the dark evil stuff) is MINE.

Travel - I haven't been to all the places on my list ... but I've hit a few of them, including Italy, Egypt, Greece, Turkey, Alaska and Sweden

Photography - I'm strictly an amateur, but I love capturing great light, brightly coloured flowers & foliage in closeup, architecture & architectural elements, and things with striking graphic details

Music - (duh - I'm a Josh Groban fan, guess that was a given!)

My husband (and a fellow Groban fan) - we celebrated 25 years of marriage last fall and he is still my very best friend


Greetings & Salutations!

Hi there and welcome to my tiny section of the Josh Groban Forum Community!

Why am I a member here? Simple - this community provides a welcoming place for those of us who celebrate Josh Groban's voice & music, along with his belief that "a little bit goes a long way" - we can all help to make the world a better place. I am a proud supporter and contributor to the Grobanites for Charity Race to a Million campaign, the South Central Scholars Organization, the GFC Christmas & Birthday Auctions, and the Josh Groban Birthday Wall.

If you would like more information about how you can contribute to these and other fine efforts led by Grobanites all over the world on behalf of the Josh Groban Foundation, please visit the GFC Web site at www.grobanitesforcharity.org and/or the Race to a Million site at gfcracetoamillion.org. If you are a member here at joshgroban.com, I invite you to send me a private message for any additional information. (Just click on the box that says "Message" over on the left side of this page, under my avatar.)

If you're looking to make a new friend, here are a few fun facts about me that might help you determine how much we have in common (besides being fans of Josh!):
  • I'm a Baby Boomer - I remember begging my parents to let me watch The Beatles and Topo Gigo on the Ed Sullivan Show way back in the early 60s
  • I'm a Bluenoser (a what?) - that means I was born in the maritime province of Nova Scotia, Canada
  • But I live in Toronto - Canada's largest city
  • I'm a Leo - not that I put much stock in astrology ... except that I'm a "textbook" Leo!
  • I'm a Librarian by training, but I don't work in a "traditional" library (I work in the audio publishing industry)
  • Best skills - Organization, Coordination & Communication ... oh, and Lists!

    Hi Cathy! I'm just getting back to you now, I meant to reply sooner. I saw you posted in the Canadian thread, and remembered! The more of us the better!:) It tends to die pretty quickly.

    Yes, McCartney was amazing. I heard the Elton/Joel concert was amazing. I saw Elton last year in his solo tour. He was amazing. It was just him and his piano, I was blown away by his talent. Yeah, I've never seen Josh live either, I hope to though. I highly doubt he'll come here, so I want to make a trip out of it (money permitting of course!). I want to go somewhere halfway close, and where I can meet up with Grobie friends. I'm kind of thinking NYC. I would love if he played here, and I think he'd sell out too. Even though I can't find any Grobanite's on-line from here, I know they exist. Every time he has an album out it's the #1 seller at all the CD store's, and for a long time too. I know I'm not buying all those albums.:p Sarah Brightman sold out the metro centre, Buble did, Il Divo almost did, same with Celtic Thunder, so there is an audience for that kind of music. I'm not comparing those artists to Groban exactly but just the crossover like appeal. Anyway, I'm just dying for him to come here!

    Yes, you've lived in quite a few different places! I've lived in the same small town my whole life (well except for 5 months living in PEI). It's a good place to live though really. I'm less than an hour away from the city, so I go there a lot. Most of my friends live in Halifax, so I try to go quite a bit. More to do there too.:) Oh, I live in Windsor, in the valley.:)

    I probably should have PMed this, it's kind of long.......

    Hello! I know you have no clue who I am, but I saw you were originally from Nova Scotia, so I just stopped by to say hello frpm a fellow Bluenoser.:) I was bored and randomly decided to google "Josh Groban Nova Scotia", just to see what came up (I'm weird like that:p). Anyway, your profile came up, so I thought I'd say hi! I see on your profile you like the Beatles. I just saw McCartney is concert, and he was mind blowing! Well, have a great day, and sorry for the complete randomness. I swear I'm not completely crazy, lol.

    Steph

    BTW, what part of NS are you from?

    Hi Cathy! Thanks! I'm glad you like it! I figured after it aired to change the thread from being about the new info to everyone putting in their input about the whole performance. Talk to you soon too!
