Don't Give Up

Jeff Martin and Tina Arena gave a beautiful and very inspired performance of Peter Gabriel's 1986 duet with Kate Bush on RocKwiz. I'm in awe.

Too Much Tina

Anyone who knows me, knows I am possibly the biggest fan out there of Tina Arena so you must understand how incredibly excited I am that I'm going to see her (FINALLY almost five years after I saw her on her Greatest Hits Tour 2004) this March when I am in Sydney for Mardi Gras! And after Donna Summer alluded she may be touring Australia at that time and would love to perform "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" with Tina again AT Mardi Gras, I'm over the moon to think it may actually be happening! Stay tuned!
