Tonight, Tonight…
Tonight’s acoustic show was so much fun! We did two sets for different groups of people and it was really cool to be able to feel out the songs differently, twice in the same night. It was a very intimate setting at Pangea Cafe in downtown Clearwater (thanks for having us) and the whole experience was wonderful. I love the staff there and everyone who came out was great and really participated in the show! Thanks guys! Now I’m watching some “Lost” (mid season 6 so don’t tell me what happens!) and then off to sleep to prepare for tomorrow. …

New Game
Have you ever heard of Running Charades? It’s just like Charades but with teams. One person makes a list of about 15 movies, bands, books, etc. and this person is the list holder. He sits in between the two separate rooms (so the other team doesn’t hear) where the teams act out items from the list. You start by having one person from each team get the first title on the list and they go back to their teams at the same time and start acting. Whoever guesses from each team gets to act out the next item. The holder’s …
Singin’ in the Rain
There’s something about the rain, you know? It makes me want to curl up and read forever while drinking hot chocolate or chamomile tea. Or write a love song that makes you feel like you’re caught up in some wind that has no direction but where you want to be. The rain romanticizes the world, gives everything that soft feel, that gentle haze or fog. Rain makes everything magical…especially kissing. Why do you think there are so many movie kisses in the rain? To drink the rain is like drinking diamonds. To feel it on your face, tracing lines down your …
The Favorite Color Dilemma
Must we have a favorite color? How does one pick such a thing? What does it even mean? Are we talking about your favorite color to wear, look at, eat, the color you use most when painting? How has this question become so common in our society? You can have a million favorite colors, one for every tiny facet of your life. I know I do! When I’m on a walk in the woods, my favorite color is that perfect shade of green in the trees. When I’m at the beach, it’s the magnificent blues of ocean and sky. When …
Video Killed the Radio Star?
Video killed the radio star? I don’t think so. Music is more relevant and important now than it’s ever been. Throughout histories, down through the ages and eons, in times of political, economical and personal, emotional stress, music has been turned to as a point of relief and release. When you’re in a bad mood, what do you do? Turn on the radio and probably turn it up. When lost in sadness, one puts on soft and soothing tunes to ease the pain or simply to have a voice to cry to. When we’ve won a victory we sing a …
The Art of Singing
Tonight what’s on my mind? Singing. Ever since I was a little girl this art has captivated me in its uniqueness. There’s nothing else in the world quite like it. The way it feels to have notes slip up through your throat and out your lips, turning from nothing, non-existent, into sound, music. It’s magical. It’s global, cutting across all races, religions, ages, every barrier that we, man, have put up between ourselves comes crashing down in the presence of music and in particular, singing. What is singing, and I mean really singing? I don’t think it really has much …
