Was it because Tori got tired of some people thinking the songs played on the air from the previous two releases was something new the Imperials had done?? Or was his wife, that wizard with the words Tori, not around when the call came for a title??

“Hey, Russ, the new album is about to go to print. Is your wife around so we could get a title for it??”

“Well. No.”

Oh, man, RUSS, what’re we gonna do!?! We needed that new title like YESTERDAY!!”

“Uh. How ’bout we call it “Russ Taff.””

“Well… OK. Does Tori know about this??”

“Uh. No. But I could take her out to a show and dinner, then let her know.”

“I don’t know, Russ…”

“I could also tell her I think I’m ready to have kids!!”

“Wel… OK, but remember, this was all YOUR idea!!”

“Sure, sure. Uh. One more thing.”

“Yeah Russ, what is it.”

“Could we also have a big picture of Russ Taff on the cover?? Maybe with my new shoes??”

“Well, OK, Russ, but this will probably delay things a few days.”

“That’s OK. It’ll probably take a few days to break the news to the little woman anyway.”

“Well, alright Russ. But remember, this is ALL your idea!!”

“Got it! Thanks!!”

I’m afraid I’m not able to do iTunes.

I just wanna get it straight.

I know, not the same as the CD with all the liner notes, but you can still get it. Downloadeding a couple of tunes from it later today.
Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Tori, I betcha the three Taff girls are building a snowman today…and papa could be helping. Time for a photo!

Compared to the situation in northern countries or abroad it’s rather ridiculous to call that snow. Of course in higher regions it’s more…

I think it started last night already! Definitely more than a foot. Apparently there are a few cars on our street buried under those piles of snow out there! Haven’t gone out today though, just opened a window and took a look = /

Oh, and I believe this is the first time I’ve had snow banked up against my third story windows since moving here over a year and a half ago!!

Welcome, Karin!! I’m glad you finally got “logged in”! Come back often! As for your age, since the Bible says a thousand days is as one and one is as a thousand days to the Lord, and we’re new creatures in Him, we have the same “calendar”, don’t we? And it’s really irrelavant when you were listening to the Russ sing “Trumpet of Jesus” with those other guys! We were listening to it then and a million years from today, we’ll be listening to it still!!! You could theoretically be one year old or a thousand! Don’t matter!

I’m rambling, aren’t I? Sorry.

And I agree, the Imperials were never the same after Russ. But his self titled album is one of my all-time favorites. And no worries about the spelling, happens all the time.

Of course, your parents could’ve been into the Imperials and you were first turned onto to him through them when you were just three or four!! And, who’s to say it didn’t happen after Russ already left the group, years afterwards, but to your folks the group was never the same after Russ.

And Former, who’s to say the hair wasn’t photo shopped along with the car! Maybe one of the new things added to the blog are better means to mask, or help protect one’s identity. Obviously that isn’t quite perfected yet seeing as how I was able to spot who it was in the photo, but then again, no one else here has been as obsessed with you as I was back in the day = /

Tell Daniel the Computer Genius “thank you” for working on that and getting it fixed. Been a long-time fan of Russ’s (like when he started with the Imperials, ok, so that dates me because I think that was somewhere around 30 years or so ago ?!?!?) Anyway, been a reader of your site for a while and love your take on life. Looking forward to what you and the “genius” cook up for the site.
Karin

Just call me “Eagle Eye”. And “prettier and easier” are wonderful things, especially together!

Jonny, Jonny, Jonny! You should have known that picture above was not me! There’s one thing that gives it away——MY hair isn’t that long. But other than that, it was an honest mistake.

Delighted, we’ll be sure to pray for you Feb. 8 & 9th! You can do this!!! Just relax and don’t overstudy, which has never been a problem for me, but I’ve heard others say that they do that. We’re with you on this!

The idea is to make it EASIER…

Mostly I am just working with Daniel to redesign the way things look a little bit AND give me some more options in the way that I post photos and videos, make it clean and open-looking so it’s easy to read, organize the old posts better using categories, introduce you to some cool sites I’ve found that you might like… stuff like that. Nothing real earth-shattering, it’s just that we haven’t really spruced up in a while and I’ve seen stuff on other blogs that I’d like to incorporate.

Glad you have a computer guru in the family. I recognized you standing next to Daddy Bud’s car. Oh! My mistake on both counts but it could be.
Faroe Islands look like the perfect spot for Russ to be creative. Can’t wait for his new project.
I’m with Madi. What a dream place to visit. On your next trip to the Islands I think close family friends should go with your family. I searched my kitchen and didn’t find any lobster or king crab legs but the food pictures looked yummy.

Jonny– Every time you call her ‘Former’ I start laughing! And she’s STILL in her prime, baby!

swerchon– All of the changes like Feedburner, new design, etc. will just be to help make things easier and prettier around here. I’m excited, too! (Russ’ little ears are already perking about about that dang iPad– boys and their toys!)
