Thursday, October 27, 2011 at 05:35PM Seriously. One year and one day since I posted last. Much has changed and some has not but time has passed and I've seen green growth and big big trees. I am feeling feelings again and looking them straight in the face-maybe then I give them a hug or just a nice pat on the head. It's looking up around here.
Tuesday, October 26, 2010 at 11:45AM Hello!! I've had some good things happen in the last few weeks. There has been reason to celebrate. Now, it's time for me to get back to the work of art making. It's good work and I miss it. I needed to be ready though. I've been dabbling, but now I'm going to take a little bit bigger of a step. I want and need balance in my life. I'm ready for my artistic self to return fully to the scale. I've been focusing on some other really important things for a while now, but I lost sight for a while of how much I missed living artistically. Now, I think that there is art inside of us all the time and it comes and goes as it pleases in many ways. However, I do know that there have been times when I have not given it the attention and nurturing that I believe it deserves. I've been on hiatus with a few blips here and there. Hiatus over.
Thursday, August 19, 2010 at 11:03AM Hello there! I'm in the middle of a long work week and my head is full to boot. I am working on these different songs and they are all stuck in various parts of my brain. Two songs are ones that Tony sent me for Venus Hum. I need to sit with them and soak them in-see what happens. One is for a project with a friend of mine from Nashville. It's more in the dance world. I need to get those lyrics running. Then I'm working on a few for Anniversary Party. Whew! and Wonderful! love it. Next week will be the magic time to get into all of these. Right now I'm just knee deep in chocolate world. This Saturday however I am very pleased to be attending one of my friend's shows for the Fringe festival here in NYC. It's going to be fantastic! I'm sending love out there today, we shall see what boomerangs back.
Sunday, July 25, 2010 at 10:35AM I wanted to report that the Artists on the Brink show in June was our best yet. It was so fun and tuned in. I am very thankful. What's been happening since then? Well, I've been working a lot and writing a bit-more lyrics then melodies. Kirk and I have a few more songs that are mere steps away from being finished. Hopefully, we will be playing our next show very soon.
The writing process is a complex one. There are so many layers to it. Right now, if you asked me to, I couldn't sing you a new song, but I could show you some journal entries or tell you about what I've been working out on my insides. It doesn't sound like music but it ends up that way. It is like a colorful kaleidoscope that when focused just the right way gives a thousand pictures of the same tiny detail. If you look at it another way all you see is that tiny detail. At the moment I am inside the kaleidoscope. Perhaps in the next bit I will be the one looking in.
I can't wait to share new music with you. I'm excited and curious to see what it will be.
Saturday, June 5, 2010 at 08:42PM I am sitting here on the couch after a productive rehearsal with Kirk. He is playing his guitar and looking for perfect sounds for our show on the 10th. I'm so excited to play. There are going to be many talented acts that night. We plan to play more New York shows after this one.
It's been a hot day here in the city. We went in looking for a pedal for the show. Kirk found it. Thank you Ludlow Guitars! One day I will buy Kirk a double cut away White Falcon. I've seen it and it's a beauty.
We are all creating all the time, though not always consciously. I would like to consciously create more in my life and see (or hear) what happens. Here's to new creations!
