KPRiFM Greg Holden Private Listener Concert

Private Listener Concert On A Cruise Around
the San Diego Bay on the Inspiration Hornblower


KPRiFM Private Listener Concert
03/22/2015 - Greg Holden - Give It Away

KPRi 102.1 uses their Private Listener Concerts as their way of saying THANKS for spending time with the radio station. The Private Listener Concerts happen randomly all over San Diego. They’re free and intimate, and feature new artists before they hit the big time (like Adele, Jason Mraz, Imagine Dragons… just to name a few).

I was one of the lucky chosen participants for the March 22nd Greg Holden Private Listener Concert. Husband Paul and I boarded the “Inspiration Hornblower” docked at the Grape Street Pier at four p.m. sharp. There was plenty of seating in the floors below. We started our evening with a light dinner/snack of Crackers and Cheese. I also enjoyed a glass of red wine.

The band performed on the outdoor deck at six p.m. Greg Holden is a New York-based British singer-songwriter. He is best known for his hit charity single "The Lost Boy" and for co-writing "Home," the 2012 debut single for American Idol-winner Phillip Phillips.

Holden is very good and I sang along on several songs including “Home.” He has an easy stanza to his chatter and the crowd was effortlessly drawn into the show.

"The Lost Boy" was written by Holden in 2011. Greg explained that it was inspired by the book What is the What by American writer Dave Eggers about a Sudanese refugee. Holden recorded it and released as a charity single in December 2011, and it became a hit for him in the Netherlands, topping the Dutch iTunes singles chart on Christmas Day and reaching No. 2 on the Dutch Top 40.

The Best Way To BBQ Fish

The Best Way To BBQ Fish

Because fish sticks and falls apart so easily on a grill, this is the best way to cook it! Not only does the fish soak up the citrus flavor of the lemons, but it keeps your fish in one piece and makes clean up really easy.

Best Way to Save Fresh Herbs

Best Way to Save Fresh Herbs

Oma hates when her fresh herbs go stale and limp in the refrigerator.  If you freeze your herbs in olive oil it will prevent them from browning and getting freezer burn. Not to mention they will always be handy, whether in season or not. Toss the cubes in a pan for sautéing meat and veggies, or use them as a sauce for pasta.

Jewelry Travel Organizer Review + Giveaway #jewelryorganizer

Specialty Styles Jewelry Travel Organizer

Specialty Styles is interested in providing organizational products to reduce the stress in your life. When your life is organized, your inner self is too. Organization takes the stress out of our bodies and helps us use our energies elsewhere.

Oma loves to travel. However, before the Jewelry Travel Organizer, it was just too much hassle to bring any jewelry. Necklaces were especially difficult to travel with. They always ended up becoming tangled – what a hassle.

The Jewelry Travel Organizer is both stylish and convenient. It holds earrings, bracelets, and necklaces securely. This is going to be perfect for my European trip later this summer. It will help keep my important valuable pieces of adornment protected and help to keep them from becoming a tangled mess.

THE SECRET TO KEEP YOUR JEWELRY SAFE
WHEN TRAVELING

  • A Jewelry Travel Organizer To Protect Your Jewelry
  • Keep all your jewelry in one area in your travel bags
  • Keep necklaces from tangling with 4 snaps top and bottom
  • Has a soft fabric cover necklaces to keep them from being scratched

Bonus: For your larger jewelry pieces, there two 4 inch pouches included with your purchase. The strings on the pouch can be put around the closure to keep all your jewelry together.  

Tip: Basic rule of thumb: If you would cry over it being lost or stolen, and/or it can not be replaced – think twice before taking it along.
