WOW, I've never heard the Star Spangled Banner performed the way I heard it on Superbowl Sunday. Alicia Keys sounded like a "torch singer" while she tickled the ivories of a beautiful Yamaha Grand piano. I wasn't sure if it took me to that place of goosebumps I normally hit, but it was a great rendition.
Did you like her version? Inspired by some classical friends named Ludwig, Wolfgang, and Frederic (Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin) she started playing the piano at age 7. And the rest is history!
Hope you had a fab weekend, and here's to an easy, fun week as well. Thanks for taking us to work with you. xoxo Jordan
