As my wife will attest, my new favorite band is The White Stripes. I can't seem to get enough of them. Her best friend from high school sent us a cd last winter and I was hooked. To my credit, though, I actually was "this close" to buying their cd back in 2002; a couple weeks ago I found a list of cd's I wanted to buy that I'd written down before Robyn and I got married and we laughed when we saw The White Stripes.
Anyway, I found out that I can embed songs into the blog, so the first song I added is "Jolene". It's a cover of a Dolly Parton song, so when you hear the lyrics, you'll understand. The reason I decided to start with this song, besides the fact that I love it, is because of my 2.5 yr old son, Jacob. Yesterday morning, as he was eating breakfast, I sang the first little bit of the chorus. He finished it for me (apparently I sing this song a lot) by singing "please don't take my man." It was too funny.
I hope you enjoy it. I'll post some other songs later.

I need to get a video of Jacob singing Jolene. And yes, I will attest to one and all that the White Stripes are his favorite band.
