Sonny and Nina's LOVE LANGUAGE is off the charts on General Hospital. Backstage Pass News is well aware of the blow back this couple has gotten this past year but  their chemistry is undeniable. The love language between these two keeps on growing. They are becoming simply irresistible to not only each others characters but to many viewers. It is hard not to love them together. 

It is hard not to imagine that there is a lot of integration going on between Sonny and Mike. There is definitely plenty of Mike still alive in Sonny and that is not a bad thing. Mike had much more compassion than Sonny has ever had. Sonny remained the scared little boy hiding in the closet to protect himself from his terrible step-father. 

So we know that there are going to be a bunch of people griping about Back Stage Pass News liking the pairing of Sonna or will it be Ninny?  This couple has grown on us and we are sure if you stop griping and just really watch the scenes, they will grow on you two.  ​​

Kirsten Storms knocks it out of the park on Maurice Benard's State of Mind. There is so much more to this women than people are aware. She was on 7th Heaven and a show on Disney Channel movies.  Social Media used to affect her negatively so she tries to stay away from it. She tries to send out positive vibes into the universe. They go so deep in
this interview. This one is right up there with his interview with Tyler Christopher.

Kirsten cares what people think about her but can't look at it because it does hurt her health. She talks about being Belle on Days of Our Lives. She talks about being good friends with her EX husband Brandon. They were good friends before they were a couple. This is a great episode to watch for women of all ages.  Thank you Kirsten for sharing your story with us.   We don't want to tell you anything else.  This is something you should see  for youself.

Lynyrd Skynyrd's Johnny Van Zant pens and records Ron DeSantis campaign theme song.  Long time lead singer Johnny Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd took time out of his  days between tours to complete this songwriting task.  We are going to let you decide if this is a  hit or miss?   Take a listen right here and tell us do you think it is a YAY OR NAY?  

Young and Restless look back at this week and into next week.  Have you ever been so happy to see someone back home in Genoa City?  So many people thought that Ashland may have had Michael killed. Maybe he is not a killer.  He will let his best friend burn to death in a car but he wouldn't light the fire. 

Anyhow, this past week we saw Victoria fall apart and then act like she has a plan. I was actually quite relieved to hear Victor tell her she can go to Italy with  her husband but that he is appointed Adam acting CEO. 

Victoria stands there looking all hurt that her father was appointing her brother in her absence.  She really does think she can do anything and there will be no repercussions. 

Is anybody surprised that Allie doesn't seem too shocked at the drama Diane has pulled her into? She actually seems to be feeling interested and maybe even a little protective of Jack. Ultimately, what Diane did may prove to bring Allie and Jack closer together.  Can't wait until next week when Phyllis will have a shot at Diane. 

Victor really seems confused over what to do about his daughter's bad choices.  He should call for an emergency board meeting and get both his daughter and her husband pulled out of power at this mega corporation. 

Much anticipated Tyler Christopher interview on Maurice Benard's State of Mind Premiering NOW! Tyler has two children, a boy and girl, 12 and 6. His name is Grayson and he is trying to be the father he can even though his children don't live with him. We don't want to tell you anymore. This is a MUST SEE!!

Little River Band's next 9 shows in the United States are all on the east coast but they are varied.  There are many  more dates in 2022 but this article is focusing on these nine dates.  To get tickets and check the rest of the bands schedule, all you have to do is go to their website at https://reallittleriverband.com/eventstour/​

Little River Band's is bringing the fun, delivering memories along the way.  

Through the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, LRB enjoyed huge chart success with multi platinum albums and chart topping hits like: “Reminiscing”,     "Cool Change”, “Lonesome Loser”, “The Night Owls”, “Take It Easy On Me”, “Help Is on Its Way”, “Happy Anniversary”, “We Two”,  “Man On Your Mind”, “The Other Guy”, and It’s A Long Way There”. 
  
Worldwide album, CD sales and digital downloads now top 35 million and LRB has set a record for having had Top 10 hits for 6 consecutive years - In fact, they were the very first band to achieve that remarkable status! According to BMI, “Reminiscing” has garnered rare status with over 5 million airplays on American radio, and “Lady” is close behind with over 4 million airplays. 
 
Bassist/vocalist Wayne Nelson joined the band in 1980, and worked alongside founding members with some of the most distinctive harmonies and vocal abilities, creating the unique LRB sound. In 1981, Nelson was recognized by world renowned Beatles producer Sir George Martin whom, while producing ‘Time Exposure’, chose Nelson to record lead vocals on two of the band’s biggest hits, “The Night Owls” and “Take It Easy On Me.” 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lauded by Rolling Stone as "a tough-girl with vocals that swell, yell and sometimes recall the gritty badassery of Amy Winehouse," Meghan Linsey unleashes her powerful, blues-driven single, "If You Need Me Don't," available everywhere today. American Songwriter exclusively premiered a first listen to the track, noting it "lands somewhere between an Americana-steeped singer-songwriter and full-bodied soul singer," while People.com premiered the music video which "embodies female empowerment."
Reviewers are applauding Linsey:

"In the 'If You Need Me Don't' music video, Linsey lets her passion shine as she belts out the lyrics, complimented by colorful outfits and sets with this 'female empowerment' anthem."

- Daniela Avila, People.com

"Raw, and refined, Linsey’s unabashed vocal strength radiates through a newfangled production palate. Brassy layers of jazz-rooted instrumentation present a clashing contrast to the whining pedal steel that often softened the edges of her thoughtfully constructed country sound."

- Madeline Crone, American Songwriter

"With that big, soulful voice, Linsey has a sound that is hard to forget and is well on her way to becoming a household name"

- Bethany Bowman, The Tennessee Star

Gibson Guitars sponsored Linsey's single release event on Thursday, March 17 at their innovative new showroom in Nashville. During the release party, Gibson helped Linsey raise money for The Roots of Music non-profit organization in her hometown of New Orleans. A portion of the profits from her single will be donated to The Roots of Music, which helps underprivileged students have access to music education, academic support and mentorship.

ABOUT MEGHAN LINSEY:
With her soulful voice and unique ability to rattle the rafters with gritty vocals, Meghan Linsey knows no boundaries in the realm of music. Linsey captured the hearts of America along with the ear of Scott Borchetta, a judge on the CMT reality singing competition Can You Duet. She won the show and Borchetta, the head of Big Machine Records, immediately signed the country-soul duo Steel Magnolia to his label. Linsey also signed with EMI Publishing and went on to pen seven of the 12 songs on the duo’s debut album.
Success came quickly after the debut single “Keep on Lovin' You” catapulted to the Top 5 on Billboard. The pair toured with superstar acts including Brad Paisley, Bob Seger and Reba and appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel Live. They were nominated for multiple major awards, including CMA’s, ACM’s and a Teen Choice Award. The whirlwind only subsided when the pair, unfortunately, parted ways in 2013. Linsey embarked on her solo career writing and releasing two EP’s before getting a call in 2015 from a producer for NBC’s Emmy award-winning show, The Voice. The next day she was on a plane to LA and the rest is history.
During her time on The Voice, Linsey landed at No. 1 on the Billboard Christian chart with her rendition of "Amazing Grace" and had multiple No. 1's across all genres of the iTunes chart. She was crowned the season eight runner-up and was the first contestant in The Voice history to perform an original, self-penned song on the show’s finale. Since her success on The Voice, Linsey has toured throughout the U.S. and abroad and collaborated with GRAMMY winners and hit artists including Chingy, Aloe Blacc, and Fred Schneider of the B-52's.
Linsey finds inspiration from women with powerful voices and stories to tell such as Tanya, Dolly, Aretha and Whitney. These influences helped shape the powerhouse that is not only confident in her vocal prowess but who is also not afraid to use her platform to speak out against injustices. With passionate fervor, she faces challenges head-on and aims to share truth, inspire and love people.

Joss is appalled by her mothers behavior on General Hospital.   You have to wonder if the girl ever met her mother.  She can't keep her nose out of everybody's business when it is not important, never mind staying out of it when this is so important.

Having your daughter and her boyfriend's first time video taped and released to the general public online against their knowledge is a huge deal. It is not only gross but it probably crosses some legal lines.  However, it is pretty obvious that Esme is not going to face as penalties for her actions.  

This got me wondering to what the name Esme means and where it comes from, especially if she is supposed to be Ryan's daughter. This is what her name means and where it comes from:
Old French esmé (feminine esmée), "esteemed", past participle of esmer, "to esteem"

Do you think they will ever find out who taped and released the video? 

We know Esme is acting and doing things to get Nikolas to side with her. She is ultimately going to come on to him in an effort to break up he and Ava. Her father Ryan wants Ava and Nikolas broken up. That is his main goal. 

In this scene Esme over acted, Nikolas fell for it and Joss was appalled at her mother's aggressive behavior toward Esme.  So many conflicts and mixed emotions here it was hard to keep up.  Do you  think that Nikolas will fall prey to Esme's charms? Like Son, like Father??

​Hannyta's EDM version of "17" lands at #5 on EU Electronic iTunes right out of the box.  This song has been released in two versions, country and electronic dance music. The Boombox dance mix version landed at #5 on the EU iTunes Electronic Charts two days after it was released. 
​With more than 50K Spotify streams and three international iTunes hits in just 4 months, (including a Top 5 in South Africa and a Top 50 in UK!) 17-year-old singer-songwriter Hannyta's music career is off to a remarkable start. The electro-pop starlet with folk tendencies is also lighting up airwaves on both sides of the Atlantic. Her first two singles, "Wildflower" and "Make It Through The Night" have received plenty of press around the globe, making Hannyta one of the hottest young artists to come out of Scotland in decades.
On March 8th, International Women's Day, Hannyta is releasing her most ambitious track to date, the aptly titled "17." Written by the husband and wife team of Donna Nolan Wilson and Greg Wilson, "17" was a perfect fit for the youthful artist, both in lyric and style. The empowering theme of the song will resonate as a young women's anthem. To put a twist on things, Hannyta and her producer recorded three versions of the single: a country-flavored "radio edit;" a Gypsy Kings-inspired remix; and an EDM "Boombox" remix. Videos are also being released to accompany the mixes.

ABOUT HANNYTA: Born Hanna Olah, Hannyta is a 17-year-old singer and songwriter based in the UK. Originally from Hungary, the talented young starlet grew up in Scotland. Having spent a lot of time with her Aunt from Florida, she has developed a love of all things American. After releasing a string of successful cover versions of songs by Idina Menzel, Rachel Platten and Lauren Daigle, among others, Hannyta released her first original single in October 2021. The video for "Wildflower" has received critical praise, receiving Film Festival selections, nominations and awards.

Carly and Sonny sign  what is supposed to be Divorce Papers on General Hospital.  Being a Paralegal for 16  years and having handling lots of divorces in New York, I am able to point out some issues with these Uncontested Divorce Papers. 

Perhaps the writers should have looked up NEW YORK Divorce Law before creating these bogus documents.  Yes, I know it is only a TV show but if you are going to take the time to create fake documents, fake them right. 

1. All actions for Divorce have to be served by a Process Server ;
2. Both Sonny and Carly signed what should have been the Affidavit of Service, not what should have been the signature page of their Uncontested Divorce;
3. I couldn't see what Sonny signed but we can see here that Carly signed Carly and that is not her legal name. You have to sign as typed out and your legal name. Her name is Caroline. That is how she should have signed these papers. A reputable law firm would return them for correct signature. 
4. Carly (Caroline) is the Plaintiff and Sonny (Michael) is the Defendant. Carly is absolutely divorcing Sonny. 
   

Let's see how long it takes for this uncontested Divorce to go through. It should take 6 weeks to 6 months if they try and make it realistic. Nina shouldn't be moving right in. 

Little River Band is heading to 3 Florida shows with 7 piece Orchestra Ensemble. Keyboard player and vocalist for Little River Band is the man behind the Orchestra Lite shows.  Chris Marion has over a decade of classical training in piano and brass instruments.  He minored in arrangement, instrumentation and conducting at Carson Newman College.   He had never thought about doing a complete orchestral arrangement but took on the task nevertheless. His formal education in addition to his practical experience regarding arrangement and production in Nashville guided his way.
 
Over the past 6 years, LRB has done several pops orchestra shows with various sized orchestras with Chris conducting some and local conductors at others.  It’s great for the community because it gives a very local, personalized variation of the music the LRB fans love.  It’s the ultimate expansion because it takes the songs to a new level of experience.  Quite by accident, the band discovered they could pull off a downsized version of the orchestra show with one player from each of the primary brass and string sections - they call it orchestra lite.  They usually work with a local contractor to put the section together from their local and regional contacts.  The band has dubbed Chris “The Maestro.”
