When I was thinking of something fun to do for our Anniversary, I found that Neil Diamond would be here for one night on January 2 toward the end of his 2008 European/American tour -- so we started our celebrations early. He will be 68 years old this month and is still in top form. It was a great two-hour performance, leaving us wanting more. He sang some songs from his newly released album, but his greatest response of course came from his oldy, but goody ones. We had great floor seats . . . and there was dancing! I love living in Las Vegas!

Neil Diamond is one of pop music's most enduring and successful singer-songwriters. As a successful pop music performer, Diamond scored a number of hits worldwide in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Common themes in Diamond's songs are: "A deep sense of isolation and an equal desire for connection. A yearning for home - and at the same time, the allure of greater freedom. The good, the bad and the ugly about a crazy little thing called love." Wikipedia
