Josh and I go waaaaaaay back, before he was a global superstar (but very well on his way!) His recordings have become nearly synonymous with the Delilah Christmas program; that smooth, soulful, touch-your-heart sound.

The vast majority of us have, at one time or another, benefitted from the TLC of a nurse. It's a grueling profession with long hours on your feet, strange shifts, not entirely pleasant duties (understatement!) and is often taken for granted.

Since her break-out hit, "Hands" in the fall of 1998, this sweet and sparkly Jewel is much beloved, but I'm willing to guess that many of you are just as clueless as I was as to the absolute powerhouse of intellect this woman is!
