Greetings:
up close and
personal.. when one door closes another must
be opening
My heart goes out to all the people in
Haiti for lost loved ones and for picking up the pieces and starting
over. Sometimes life has a way of putting things into perspective
and illuminating what really matters. January has been a very
reflective month sparked by some crazy personal health-related stuff
that compelled me to do some serious soul searching - and I came
through it with the support of loved ones via baby steps each
day-moving forward that new song; getting through that piano book;
recording bits and pieces of the new album; keeping the hope and the
strength to be inspired and to inspire. I had to make a tough choice
about a potentially life-changing future performance opportunity-and
it was so hard to choose to pass something up that was once my
dream-what I can say is that maybe the dream never dies-it just
becomes a new dream...here's to making your dreams realities and to
making new dreams.
memorable musical
moments...
In January
I went with the flow...that flow took me down, and is currently
encouraging, two related paths. The first path is working on
recordings that will culminate in some singles and the next album:
some are brand new songs while others are songs such as
Skeletons or Nothing Special that seem to be
begging to be recorded. The other path I have embarked upon is
developing a childrens book of sorts and companion cd to feature
water and environmental issues in a pop-friendly style-Blue
Gold, released in September, is intended to be part of this
project. I welcome the flow and look forward to many surprises and
to what arises...

Stories Behind The
Muse-ic-the seeds for If You Already
Knew
...as
usual, these stories are just for you-thank you for reading and
making a connection! So, here are the seeds to some musical
stories-ones we are asked to play often.
If You
Already Knew is one of our newest and most simple songs, and I
wrote it on piano. Imagine the feel of a fair or circus combined
with a simple sweet melody about the stages of life-if you already
knew what life would bring. The idea for the song was sparked from a
discussion with a dear friend about how it would be if we knew what
the day would bring-how perhaps nothing would be left to chance. We
are currently recording pieces of the song.
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!
Huge thanks
as always to YOU for reading and supporting and please write and
update me! We couldn't do this without you!
