3 DOORS DOWN

3 Doors Down
an American rock band
from Escatawpa, Mississippi

Formed in 1996
Drummer/vocalist Brad Arnold,
guitarist Matt Roberts,
and bassist Todd Harrell.

Arnold eventually ended up acting as the group's singer
because, as he puts it, "nobody else would do it,
but I did and enjoyed it a lot."
Arnold is also their lyricist,
and wrote some of their early hits
when he was 15, often working on songs
during math class.

The band got its name during a trip to Foley, Alabama.
While walking around town they saw a sign
where some letters had fallen off that said,
"Doors Down."
Since there were three members they added 3
to create 3 Doors Down.

A couple of years after performing together,
Todd Harrell asked guitarist Chris Henderson
to join the band.

Although, they have had several drummers,
their current drummer and percussionist
is Greg Upchurch who has been with the band since 2005.

Kryptonite

Success

After Chris joined the band,
they gave a demo CD to local radio station.
The station started playing the EP version of "Kryptonite",
and it became the No. 1 requested song
on the station for over 15 weeks.

3 Doors Down's first studio album,
The Better Life was released on February 8, 2000,
and went on to become the 11th best-selling album the year,
selling over 3 million copies.
It has since been certified 6x platinum,
thanks in large part to the international hit singles,
"Kryptonite", "Loser", and "Duck and Run".

3 Doors Down released their
self-titled fourth album on May 20, 2008.
It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200,
selling 154,000 copies in its first week.
It is the band's second consecutive No. 1 album
on the chart after Seventeen Days,
as well their fourth album to reach the Top Ten.
The album contains the hit singles "It's Not My Time",
"Train", "Let Me Be Myself"
and "Citizen/Soldier",
a song written as a tribute to the National Guard.

TRIVIA:

3 Doors Down started The Better Life Foundation (TBLF) in 2003,
with a goal in mind to give as many children as possible a better life.
Since its inception TBLF has supported numerous charities nationwide,
as well as providing aid and assistance
to the Gulf Coast region of Mississippi
during Hurricane Katrina.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good to hear...it is good for kids to take care of Dad.

So far today is one of those “lots of little things” days.
Got the email sent out that drop dead time for timesheets is 10am Tuesday as payroll has a short week due to Labor Day. No corrections allowed! Tuesday will be a bear here. Homework could be daunting.

There should be no Monday holidays. They should all be on Friday. d:o)

[ConorMacNessa]

Hi again, Kathy! Just had a harrowing half-hour here - virus attack - "Security Shield" - totally tied my machine up - disabled my browsers, etc. Did a scan with my antivirus which appears to have worked so far. Crossing my fingers!
