Bon Yard

I met these young men on the deck of "Liberty of the Seas" during the Rock Legends Cruise II. They were kind enough to hang out with me for a while, as my hubby was filming a show at the other end of the ship. I'd like to think they considered me a pretty cool, "older" chick, instead of thinking they were feeling sorry for me because I was alone at the time. So, until I hear different, I'm going with the "pretty cool, older chick" theory …just so you know.
Harley 18, Elijah 15 and Stephen 17 live in Florida, have their own rock band called "Bon Yard" and seemed super wise for their ages. We talked about music, among other things, and, to my delight, they were well versed in, and had great passion for the topic.
The short time spent with these three was a fun part of my day. It must have been, at least, an okay part of their day as well. I received an email from them yesterday. The part of the email I loved most was this …"We (the band) thought one of us should email you to say hey". The "one of us" was Elijah. (Thanks Elijah!) They, (the band), sure knew how to make a pretty cool, older chick's, day.
My hopes for my three new friends are …that they stay as kind and curious as I remember them. I hope they find beauty even in the ugliest of days and they never let anyone destroy their dreams nor their inner peace. And, I hope they are always moved by the sweet sounds of music. Play on, my friends …you guys ROCK!
