The Verve Pipe is going to play in Atlanta!

I know I have pretty much kept this blog to posts related to photography or my business; but I couldn't resist this one. As I blogged about before, I was so excited to get to use a song from The Verve Pipe's Family Album on my site. Well, now I'm going to get to take my kids to see these guys play at Eddie's Attic. The kids are all SO excited and I am too. So, if you haven't already made plans for May 15 (or if they can be changed), consider this show. The album is so awesome and I am betting the show will be too! You can buy tickets here:
Kid Show

And if you want to go see them without the kids, they are playing on May 14 at Smith's Olde Bar:
Adult Show

A big thanks to The Verve Pipe!

I am so glad to have my site up! I have been working on it for at least a month and it is a weight off of my shoulders to have it done. A little back story...

I decided I wanted music on my new site. My husband wasn't sold on this. But he humored me as I talked about it. I could NOT find the right song. I must have listened to hundreds of songs that I could get permission to use or royalty free music. But nothing was right. In my mind I kept thinking of this song on a kids album that my three and I started listening to online at the end of last year. There was this one song that was right. The problem was it was a song by The Verve Pipe. I mean seriously, how would I even get in touch with them? But... as time went on I just couldn't find anything that was as perfect as that one song. I couldn't even find anything that came close. So, I asked my husband how I would get in touch with a band to ask to use their music (he knows WAY more about music than I do). He gave me some suggestions. I found an e-mail address for The Verve Pipe and decided to go for it. I e-mailed and asked if I could use it for my new site. I called my husband and told him I had sent the e-mail and I hoped that I would hear back. At this point he asked who the band was. When I told him he chuckled and asked if I had a back up plan... they were kind of a major band and might not even own the rights to the song.

But I kept my hopes up and I worked on my site. And last Friday I got an e-mail from The Verve Pipe's manager. And we worked it out. I got permission to use the ONE song I wanted for my site!

So check it out here. If you like the song, check out the album. You can listen to it and buy it here:

My kids love all of the songs and I enjoy them too! Even my husband had to admit that if I'm going to have music on my site that this is a good song for it.
