Greetings:
up close and personal...did you
ever imagine you'd be here doing this?
look at your
life today...how many of us could have predicted 10 years ago-even 5
years ago that this is how we'd be spending it? where we'd be
living? who we'd be spending it with? I wrote a new song that we just recorded
that begs the question, what if you already knew?
maybe that's
the beauty of life-not knowing what happens next. not knowing what
tomorrow brings. For me, I believe everything I have experienced
happened to bring me to exactly where I am. Now the obvious
rhetorical question is: what happens next?
memorable
musical moments.. the muse is determined; will the universe
deliver?
Three new singles have been recorded,
mixed and are sounding great! Excited to be getting the masters
during the next few weeks and will hopefully be able to release them
soon! Now I am eager to work on more songs and keep the creative
vision moving forward. We plan to record in LA again end of this
month.
I
also am really thrilled to have just finished a draft project
proposal to help move forward ideas for Alice
in Waterland-connecting teens with their watersheds through story
(my young adult fantasy novel), music (companion cd) and film.
Hopefully the project will be compelling enough to attract some
partners and grant funds!
Just a
quick shout out to those of you who stopped by to see us play at the
Chocolate and Chalk Festival in Berkeley last Saturday. Many
heartfelt thanks! A special shout to sister Helen for filming! It
was a beautiful sunny day chalk-filled with amazing art and melty
chocolate, much melodic music, silly signs sporting pictures of my
dented del sol (poor blue) and you:
Cool
Stuff-check it
out (sidebar) and let me know if you have stuff to include next
time!
SHOWS/RECORDING
We are excited to be doing more
recording in LA end of June and SF Bay Area during the summer. In
the meantime, feel free to send email or connect with me on Facebook. We will
continue to keep sending newsletters of course!
DO YOU
HAVE QUESTIONS,
SUGGESTIONS FOR ME?
Do you
want to know more about a specific lyric? Do you have ideas for
collaboration on a future project? Do you have thoughts for what you
want to see in the newsletter? Do you want to know more about the
directions we are taking with environmental awareness and music or
film? Hear us on a radio show and want to know more? Want to know
how to get us on your radio show? Want *POP ROCKS*? CONNECT with
me!
