A game of catch up...

This life is fast and Boy I boy just when I think I have caught up I look up to enjoy the view and woopsy I do, I trip on the remains of my procrastination pile. The good news about this is that this particular pile i claim as mine very own is not going anywhere with out me! so as fast as life goes it really knows I am the only way to proceed to put that pretty little pile in its proper place, no matter how turtle like the doing of my work.

And so onward ever onward toward the main goal here, music = love = wildfire
Keep on moving along and spreading the soul of
This song of mine. yes, I must, it keeps me happy.

Celebrating the success all the while.
Earth Song my 2001 original song, was chosen to be included on an earthday compilation put together by a friend and musical talent Mary Danzig. What a great way to celebrate music and earth! I am grateful for the hard work that went into the making of this album! This month i have had oppurtunity to perform at earthday celebrations and promotion concerts along side Mary her husband Peter and the other artist who's songs are featured. It has been most memorable as well as inspiring.

Finally as I have suggested several times in posts and blogs over the years, I am working on my album! Yes, it's true, actually as I have organized and reviewed the recordings, some self produced and others co-produced, I should have released or rather could have released 3 full albums by now. My mentors and managers are telling me, do it now, so ok! In the works for realsy and with my accountability buddies I shall share my craft one album at a time and then next and in between a finally finished web site full of my doings of music and yoga. These are the things I must expose and allow to bloom in order for these roots to grow deeper. I get that, weeds up rooted and a soul song planted long ago growing a little bigger with ever scary thing proposed. Yep scary, I get the nerves when projecting my presence upon stage, I don't know if they will ever go away, friendly little butterfly's I have swallowed ( a belly full ) :) so, now that you are in the loop, and Do my best I do to keep you there, I must recharge my spirit with a sweet little savasana and then get busy.

In gratitude and goodness
Your gal on geetar

september already! Holy cow really. I am so excited for a change in weather, literally and metaphorically. The album I recorded with my little folk band Kinfolk is in motion in an unofficial sort of way. I have decided it must flow. With baby steps of course. I hand made some covers and burned some copies. In one of a kind heart grown quality you see. The songs were studio recorded over 2 years ago. Its time to share and move on. I have new songs and ideas blooming and with the release of the Kinfolk finally, I can give my solo stuff full attention, i can grow on with the music that sings me! I am performing here and there around home and am entertaining the idea of booking some out of this town gigs. House concerts and small listening room style shows are most suitable for this gal, so we shall see what the universe has in store, eh! So far Playing festivals and opening sets, keeps me seasoned and in tune for more to come. Keep checking in if you will. This just the begining.

Really, it has been a year since I last took a look here. I have been hopefully refining and reinventing my magic, my music, me. Over the course of this wave i ride i have felt the friction, i have felt the rush, i have felt the gentle hand of heaven, the sturdy earth to ground me, i have felt the seeds grow. I am ever so blessed and humble here. knowing that my experiences have catapulted me to this higher place. The place where only love exists. and for the first time ever i am putting my talents my gifts, me, first. To feel and receive to share and give that love back, for my good, for the greater good. so, yes, you can find me, right in the middle of the heart. and when you do, i would sing for you a song, quite happily.

gig-gles

We had the opportunity to gig last weekend during an open house art show at Sugarhouse coffee. It was most inspiring and we were glad to have been invited. WHile the many faces of people gazed at teh colorful interpretations on the wall, Kinfolk played "naked" and had a ball. Naked meaning, no PA! We performed our music in a subtle background fashion for the artists and patrons and gained the experience e could have only hoped for during the hustle. this gig makes us giggle our way into a few up coming shows, we kinda like playing "naked"... perhaps our next one we shall do just that!!

always in the works

Well Kinfolk successfully completed the first mix out of three for the album. Lending our own ear to hear what the record sounds like in stages is quite the learning experience. I know I have said this before, just when you feel like you've raised the bar, you realize your still in the works, always in the works. Thinking of way s to grow, not just musically but via the canvas of life that has oh so many hues. So, mix two here's to you, reminder number umph-teen that life is always in the works.

p.s. Album duplication fund raising begins now!!

crawling the web.

The inter-web is a modern way of bringing global awareness about in all ways. SO, here am i, scratching my head in wonder of why i never created my own website. I have many hosted web-lings, such as facebook, myspace (oh crap what was that password? scratch scratch), blogspot, which All serve the idea fore mentioned, but what if all you had to do to catch up was type a simple url, and there they all are one happy little link after the other... brilliant. Welcome to the cutting edge of technology I say to my geeky self. Get a web site, what have you been waiting for? Or perhaps, I AM right on time.

One down two to go...

The first of three final sessions in the studio took place yesterday. Listening over and over to the songs can take the day out of a day, but what better way to spend a day than preparing to share heart with all whom might be interested. Heart in this case being the music. The heartfelt energy behind every song sung is open to interpretation and I am happy to have the ability to inspire the unknown for all who lend an ear. i am very excited for this release as we move through the final stages. Thank you Skinny Guy (sound & production), for precision detailing and production on sound. Thank you Red Buffalo (percussion), for holding time in perfect rhythm and beat. Thank you Pableo (violin & cello), for free forming melodies with the action of the bow... Thank you Mr. Mandolin (mandolin,cello & bass), for hearing the music take shape, instigating flow & harmonizing through intricate picking & grounding arrangement. Many thanks here, ready to get on, move forward and continue to grow. One down two to go.
