Songs In The Key of Life

This is the phenomenal photo-cover of the new coffee table book, 'Their Love of Music', authored by professional cameraman Steve Azzato.  Steve can usually be found behind the camera at NBC's network morning show - 'The Today Show'- where he works, diligently, to bring them amazing photographic shots the likes of those in this phenomenal photo montage.

For this project, 117 musicians were interviewed and photographed.  Each photograph is accompanied by a poignant account of what inspired, and continues to inspire, these ultra talented musicians to produce the unique melodies that they- an their audiences- so love.

With a foreword from 'The Today's Show' eloquent host, Lester Holt, this book is definitely on my list of 'must-have' reads. 

Below is a short slideshow of a few of the musical legends that are featured.
ENJOY!

Play it 'Forward' Ring...

{buy it::special thanx}

Last year NBC proudly honored TODAY host and breast cancer survivor Hoda Kotb. with the wonderful commemoration ring aptly named the 'Forward Ring'. 

Last year, with every purchase of the 'Forward Ring', NBC donated $2 to the Susan Komen Organization.  The better new is that this gem is still available for purchase. 

I have my order in, can't wait for the guys in brown to ring the doorbell.

Hoda Kotb says she wears her ring as a reminder.  "I feel safe with it on...And I also wear the ring just because I know that I'm in a big club with lots of people."

Did you order your 'Forward Ring' yet?  I would love to share photos of your purchase...send them in.  Can't wait to show mine...
