Wonderful Week Wind Down

It's after 5 o'clock and this wonderful week is winding down straight into the weekend. There is so much sunshine in the ATL skies and the commute is probably well underway on the interstates.

The Atlanta Braves play their season home opener against the Milwaukee Brewers tonight at Turner field. Fans have fired up the grills for the tailgate party and will head into the stadium soon. The temps will cool by first pitch so hopefully fans brought a jacket. Go Braves!

By the way, it's legendary singer Al Green's birthday today. Why not head over to YouTube and enjoy some of Al's greatest hits like the one President Obama sang a few months ago, "Love & Happiness."

President Obama sings Al Green

President Obama was attending a campaign fundraiser last night at the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem when he sang a snippet from one of singer Al Green's hits "Let's Stay Together." The reference the President makes when he says "the Sandman didn't come out" meant that if someone singing on stage was getting booed by the crowd, a guy from backstage who they called "Sandman" would come out and kindly escort the contestant off the stage. It was all in fun and part of Amateur Night. I must say the President has a smooth voice, he's so cool!
