Groban Archives Updates
July 23, 2005
Hello, everyone! Here are the latest updates to the Groban Archives.
Although there have been no new Josh articles written lately, I have made several updates to the site:
WELCOME
- Put a link in the scroller at the top of the page to order Josh Groban Foundation wristbands
- Added three new quotes to the random quote generator:
"What people see and hear is who I am. The most rewarding risk is the one you take based on trusting the voice inside you. If you make a decision not based on who you really are and it's not a success, you'll always regret it. So far, I have no regrets." -Josh Groban
"Josh has all the right pieces to the puzzle -- he could have a career like Elton John or Sting. He'll have longevity. He has the potential to do this as long as he wants to and, God willing, we'll be his band." -Tim Curle
"In this business it can be very tempting to not be yourself, to follow a formula, and a lot of people have success doing it. I stuck with what I believed in and the road was much harder but it was worth it." -Josh Groban
