Top 5 Acoustic Artists

Through my life, I have encountered and enjoyed many genres of music.  With  well written Metal comes in at a close 2nd, I feel my heart will always live most with acoustic artists. There is something so simple and special about a voice and a acoustic guitar. You can love any artists in any style of music, but only in there can you really hear the voice of the artist. Being an acoustic artist myself, I thought I would share my Top Five Favorite Acoustic Artists. Hopefully, one of them may speak to you and you will discover a new musical friend for your listening pleasure.

Pittsburgh Steelers' Fans Should Root For The Colts and The Ravens This Weekend

The Pittsburgh Steelers proved all the experts wrong this year by going 12-4 and earning themselves a bye in the playoffs. Now with a weak off, the Steelers have a chance to sit back and watch the first round of the playoffs as fans, and have a chance to get healthy.

The Steelers will host a playoff game in the second round of the playoffs at Heinz Field. If the Indianapolis Colts defeat the New York Jets, the Colts will come to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers in the second round. If the Jets defeat the Colts they will play the Patriots in the second round and the Steelers would then face the winner of the Ravens/Chiefs game.

Pittsburgh Penguins sign Deryk Engelland to an extension

Courtesy of Pittsburgh Penguins.com, the Pens have resigned Deryk Engelland to an extension. The new contract is for three years. Engelland is becoming a much better hockey player, but he's mostly know as a tough guy.

It's going to be interesting to see what the Pens do with their defensive core in the future. They have seven NHL defensemen signed for next year and still have some good looking prospects in the farm system, including Simon Despres.
