    “Diamonds” with Keith Urban. She dedicates this song to her daughters. It's a fun upbeat song and I'd love for it to be a single. The second duet is “The Real Thing” with Buddy Miller. It feels like a southern rock song! I think many people would enjoy both these duets, even people who don't consider themselves Martina fans!

    "Today?" Nodding, Kel and Johnny quickly worked out it would be best to see if Cap could be there as well. Figuring it'd be best to have the talk at the hospital, Doctor Brackett called Hank first and then Roy, setting up a meeting time a half-hour from now. Heading to the hospital, Kel tried to reassure Johnny that things would be fine, but to no avail. Giving up after a few minutes, he just let the silence stretch out, praying he wasn't wrong about how Roy would react or that he would be…
