Osmond Brothers here I come!

Osmonds Brothers here I come!
Yes dear friends its sad but true .... I still love the Osmond Brothers!
I was mad about David Cassidy at the age of 10 then a friend told me about this new pop group.
Well I took one look at them and I was hooked. Every inch of my bedroom walls were covered in pictures and I collected anything and everything I could find.
I even told my poor niece Emma over at mama syders that she could not like anyone else lol and bought her Donny Osmond picture socks!
Over the years I grew-up and married and had my family, but I still could not hear them without getting all silly. I must say even at the age of 53 I only have to hear "Puppy Love" to   end up in tears.
I can't believe its been over 40yrs since that first picture and here they are just about to go on tour again.
I think Jimmy was on twitter and said of a UK tour so I went on the hunt. I am not really keen to visit London these days, but found they were at a local theatre I knew this maybe the last time I see them in concert.
I had planned to stand at the box office until it opened but I chickened out as I thought it was a bit daft as my age. So I sat on the phone with no luck then got   in    via the  lovely Internet.
We the end to this rather boring story is I got the third row, the best I have ever had for one of the many Osmond's Brothers concerts I have ever been to.
I am also grateful that my super daughter does not mind being dragged with me, so thanks Natalie. I even had my son Matthew trying for tickets for me, a truly family event lol.
So if you are in Essex next march, look out for a large amount of ladies (of a certain age !!) chanting,

" We love the Osmond's"

  1. Gosh just reading your post had the song Puppy Love going through my head. I used to think Jimmy was the cutest Osmond of them all!

  2. My big sister claimed Donny so I had to settle for Merrill. Still have a bit of a soft spot for the man behind my girlhood crush. Sure the concert will be wonderful xx

  3. I'm excited for you!! I LOVE the Osmonds! When I was at University my Bishop at church lived on Osmond Lane in Provo, Utah. Every time we had a church activity at his house we would instead go Osmond stalking. (but don't tell anyone!) And yes, Osmond Lane is a road where they grew up and some of them still live and us regular folk, with a lot of money, can buy a house on the lane, too. Nothing short of awesome!
