Almost…really…I really mean it!
It’s almost ready! I just delivered the master CD to the CD manufacturer. Yay!! My first EP (a collection of 6 songs, less than a full length CD, often used as an introduction to a new artist) is now out of my hands and being duplicated. I’m so proud of the...→ Read More

CD??? Nope, not yet. It’s close though! I know I’ve been saying that for weeks…months even. But really, for real really this time…really! Close. All the ducks are lining up, the eggs gathering in a basket, the cats being herded, etc! Until then, you can come hear me perform...→ Read More
A Quickie…
If it’s brief, does it count? Last week, I committed to writing my blog on a more regular basis. Today was a day filled with tasks, meeting with old friends from afar, more tasks, making dog food (I need to write a blog devoted just to that new task),...→ Read More

So, I’ve taken up this new task of waking up at 7am every morning (awfully difficult for a vampire musician like myself) and spending 30 minutes writing. The purpose is to free my creative mind and hope that it will yield a bounty of compositions, essays, screenplays, choreography, recipes,...→ Read More

Bossanova?
I had a writing session with Cava Menzies and Lisa Forkish (of CavaLisa) this afternoon. These ladies are amazing! I met them through their work with the students at the Oakland School for the Arts. We all sat in the yard, enjoying a burst of January sunshine and then moved...→ Read More
Time to focus!
Hello my friends, It’s again that time: I have to shut down my online presence so that I can focus on my project. Stage one is to complete a demo CD and use that for fundraising. It’s going to take a huge chunk of money to pay for production,...→ Read More
The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee
Sitting on the airplane, flying over the Atlantic ocean, it just hit me; an emotional wave of gratitude, surging forth beyond the point of my control. I’m usually a somewhat stoic person, but from time to time, I turn into a regular old girlie-girl. Today is one of those...→ Read More
Portugal concert and castles
Last Thursday, the entire band flew to Lisbon, Portugal to perform in the second Rock In Rio concert performance this season. Last October, we played the concert in Rio De Janeiro. The concert series also has shows in Lisbon and Madrid, Spain. As is typical for my peripatetic nature,...→ Read More
April is ended. May is here. Project? Not yet…
I’ve been spending much of my time practicing and composing new music. I’m determined to complete and release my first non-seasonal musical product by my birthday, this September. I don’t want to whine. I don’t want to complain, especially when it comes to things fully in my control. “Don’t...→ Read More
