Music makes it better...
This is what I was thinking as I reviewed the following photos.

Melodious tones and other musings...
At the ::a-hem:: "balloon festival"... we saw these two fellows playing a rather mellow and relaxing tune that seemed to last forever. No, really, MCF and I passed them a few times over the course of a few hours and it sounded the same. I think they were hawking CDs with their tunes on it.
The guitar player had the following look on his face the entire time he was playing. A kind of half-smile-squint... and the thought going through his head was probably akin to: "In Guatemala I owned acres of farmland. I had women, money and wine. And then there was that little incident with the machete and 32 unfortunate villagers... and now I play guitar and hawk CDs in America... at the ::a-hem:: "balloon festival"...
I hope you enjoy it more than I did :(

The DJ Tay Review...
First off... EXCELLENT selections! I can definitely see Taylor going into radio. Does he do any pod casts on the net?
I took a drive to help a friend move some French doors and listened to the CD that I won on the way. Luckily I had a CD player that plays mp3s. The CD was one track that clocked in just over an hour and five minutes. What freaked me out was when I looked at the player to advance through a track the name of the track is tagged as "Watching You Die" with the artist as "Jonah33"...
I looked around to make sure a rogue trucker wasn't barreling down on an unsuspecting "me."
Anyway...
The track started with Queen and got progressively heavier as I drove along. I tried to drive leisurely at 65mph which was working for a bit through Steely Dan, Guns & Roses, Toto, and Black Sabbath (all along the way there were cool tidbits of info about the bands interspersed between songs.)
The songs got heavier and advanced through Yngwie Malmsteen, Pantera's "Cemetery Gates," and Nevermore.
Then a driver in a Plymouth caravan drove up on my bumper and lingered there before swerving into the lane next to me and glared at me as he passed on my right.
I thought to myself... "Oh no he did NOT!" As DragonForce kicked in to gear I estimated that the caravan was a quarter of a mile ahead of me. I gunned the gas and screamed up to just over *****mph (what, you want me to incriminate myself? Use your imagination) and as I passed him I made a surprised look... ah-la-Jamie Dawn.
He glanced to his left and did a double take as I passed him... the look of shock seemed to be in slow motion and was priceless... and then he exited in disgrace at the next turnoff.
King's X, My Chemical Romance, and The Showdown rounded out the set and made this an enjoyable drive.
I had not heard of The Showdown before but really like them, so thank you for introducing me to something new :)
Some bands that Tay probably already enjoys... but if not, he should check out... Hatebreed, Sworn Enemy, Trivium, Bullet For My Valentine, 3 Inches of Blood, and Mindless Self Indulgence.
