AWESOME for David Cook! I knew "Light On" would be the little engine that could, slowly rising up the charts and then BAM, surging up the charts like that. I wish all the best for him. I've always liked him from the first time I saw him... his voice at his audition blew me away and I was hooked. Just amazing how far he has come. I've never enjoyed watching someone become a star before my eyes as much as David. Hope you are enjoying the troops... I know they are loving you!!! Congratulations and keep on ROCKIN!!!
