Work Work Work (Talent Talent Talent)

keith's Words-- Dated October 10, 2001
In keith's latest newsletter, he wanted to thank all his fans for "driving for miles & hours & miles" to see them play, for "writing such heartfelt letters, emails, notes, signs & prayers".
"For hootin', hollerin', shoutin' & singing and generally 'lettin' it all out'". For patiently waiting in all sorts of lines--To get inside, to get a photo, traffic, even to wait for the darn bathroom!"
For telling your friends about keith and his bandmates and for dragging your friends (Yeah right, Keith...as if we had to "DRAG" anyone to see you, LOL)to see them play the greatest show on earth (my words, as keith would never toot his own horn)
"But above all this--for lifting ME up. For making me feel loved. For allowing me to keep doing what gives me the most pure joy in the world...MUSIC. I thank God for the gift of music and if it touches you in any way, then you understand the therapy I feel. For everything on this page & in my heart--"THANK YOU!"
He signed off by telling us to be good to each other and to take care of yourself.
Her Hero (A Little Girl's urban Proposal)
A 3 year old little girl in Portland Oregon USA was sick with a high fever. Her parents were taking her to the hospital where keith's "But For The Grace of God" was playing on the radio. The little girl perked up for the first time since becoming sick and squealed "that's keith urban!" Her parents told the local radio station, KUPL, about their daughter's story and when keith visited the station, he heard her story and rang the little girl on the phone. When she heard keith, she screamed "keith urban! I love you, keith urban! I want to marry you!" keith then asked her "when" and, as any of us hot blooded gals would, she said "Today!" The next night, her parents brought her to the Neon Circus & Wild West Show in Portland Oregon, where she met her hero face to face!!!
A Recipe From keith's Mum, Marienne
From keith's Mum...
"Following is a recipe which has been a favorite in my own family. I think this one is probably keith's favorite as well. Whenever I made it when he and his brother were still living at home, there was always enough left over for them to have it for breakfast the next morning! What a start to the day! It is very rich, but they would reheat it and have it with milk. We usually have vanilla ice cream or cream with it, or both, if we really feel like indulging! Here is the recipe":
Chocolate Sauce Pudding
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 TBSP cocoa
1. Cream butter and sugar, add egg and beat well
2. Add sifted dry ingredients and blend well
3. Add in milk and mix well
4. Pour into greased baking dish and cover with chocolate sauce (see recipe below)
Chocolate Sauce
1 1/2 cup boiling water
1 cup sugar
1 TBSP cocoa
1 tsp vanilla extract
1. Mix all ingredients together and pour over pudding mixture
2. Bake at 350 degrees for 1/2 hour. Enjoy
YUM YUM Let's hope Marienne has a LOT more of these recipes from home!!!!!
