I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...I am a woman of the sixties...yes, that means finishing high school and college in the 60's. Have not been into music for a while...career, raising children, and just a general lethargy toward music. David Cook's music has created a new interest and passion for music....just now started down loading from itunes etc. I guess I am finally into the second millineum, huh? I also am very impressed with DC's intellect, personal communication style, and his kindness. Looking forward to the album and many, many live performances. calkona
