H.R. Rustica --- Another big hit for Armada, MI

Armada Area in Michigan has been producing some winners in recent years.  We all know about the Armada Fair.  But Armada is also the home for Achatz Pies,  Slaughted At Sundown and recently Blake's Hard Cider.   Now there is H.R. Rustica a home grown, alternative, funk, rock band. 


My son took me to see H.R. Rustica on Friday night and I was pleasantly surprised.  So many bands get into performing and end up becoming wedding bands.  But I don't see that path for this band.   over 50% of what they play is ORIGINAL.   Friday night they were the headliners.  In another year or they will be headlining for the Armada Fair. 

They are a hot new original music alternative rock band with major talent and creativity.   I was very impressed with the following: 

• The voice.... Michelle is awesome!
• The sound.... Truly cohesive integrated "alternative rock" band.
• The look.... Cece is the hot rock-n-roll babe of the band.
• The driving creative force..... Don is the leader and song writer for this band.

They play mostly their own stuff.   If you get the opportunity do go see them.    If this band keeps going they will be big and I get to say I knew them when....

Real Relationships have Trust

If you don't have trust, you don't have a relationship.  You have an acquaintance.  I have found 3 things that you must have for a real relationship.

1. You have to have trust.  Trust that keeps us together.  I trust him, he trusts me. 
2. Respect for each other.  He has a life, he is busy with work, his friends and his theater.  I have my work,my friends and my stuff going on too.  So, if we don't have time to talk for a couple days, we are cool with it, because we understand that the other is busy.  
3. Understand what pushes their buttons.... With my Mark... he can't take drama.  That is cool with me, because I'm not a drama kind of gal.  If we want that we turn on Judge Judy or Dr. Phil.
