Well, it's not a Tuesday...

...but here's a "two fer"! Found this one and had to share. Damn, I love this guy!

Your Friday Frampton

I'd like to post something every week (at least), but work has been crazy busy. So, let's kick off "Frampton Fridays" with a classic...

The MySpace campaign is going along well, I have a few friends from the (now defunct) Family of Friends on board (now located over at Frampton Fans.) I just got my tickets to see Peter in June in Ft. Myers, Florida. He's going to be i Hollywood (FL) in August as well. Looks like it's going to be a goooooood summer!

The Set List

The story so far...Peter Frampton...my 40th birthday party...an impossible dream. Scroll down to see what I'm talking about here.

If I do get Peter to play at my party, I'd love to have the dream set list. But how can you choose a mere 20 or so songs from an incredible catalog? I do have my favorites ("Frampton Comes Alive" of course, but my favorite studio album is the underrated "I’m in You") and, surprisingly, I also love the hits (I can never, ever hear "Baby I Love Your Way" enough. It’s even the ringtone on my phone.) Here's what I've got, so far:

Won’t You Be My Friend? (I’m in You)
Tried to Love (I’m in You)
Rise Up (Breaking all the Rules)
Cornerstones (Fingerprints)
Verge of a Thing (Now)
Flying without Wings (Now)
Doobie Wah
Something’s Happening
Golden Slumbers (can’t not hear a tune from SPLCHB)

And...of course...
Penny for Your Thoughts
Show Me the Way
Baby I Love Your Way
Do You Feel Like We Do

Did I forget something? I'm sure I'll change my mind along the way!

The Proposition

This is me...

This is Peter Frampton...

I love Peter Frampton. I have loved him since I was a child. I still have the battered copy of Frampton Comes Alive that my aunt “donated” to me. My other blogs have had stories about the man sprinkled throughout (check Sugar’s Smacks for more Frampton love.) I’ve been into metal, punk, disco, alt rock, ska, reggae, new wave, show tunes (theater major, sorry) – and through it all, my love for Peter Frampton has never wavered. I have had the privilege of seeing him 7 times. This is quite a feat since I wasn’t allowed to go to the arena where the "big acts" played until I graduated from high school (I missed the I’m In You tour for just such a reason – I didn’t actually see him for the first time until 1993, at Pleasure Island in Walt Disney World.)

So...here’s my proposition.

We share the same birth date, April 22. Big deal, huh? Well, April 22, 2009, 2 years from today, is my 40th birthday (it pains me to confront this fact, but such is life.) I have had many dreams in my life (and a whole lot of fantasies) but, with the exception of marrying me wonderful husband (check), none have come true. I don’t see why I couldn’t have been a ballerina, an actress, a rock star or a fairy princess.

I want nothing more than to have Peter Frampton play at my 40th birthday party – which (at this moment) will probably be held in Orlando, Florida. I haven’t worked out all of the logistics quite yet, I think lining up the entertainment is priority one. In the next few weeks, I will be drafting a formal request for my dream party to Mr. F. I want to have the site up and running for a little while as well, so he can see that I am dead serious about this.

And what happens, you may ask, if this doesn’t happen? Vegas and a boob job! But, I’d much, much rather have this very special night. Stay tuned to see if my dream will come true...
