So I have my show at Symphony Space Nov 16th at 7:30 PM, with Voices in Unity choir..... we are sold out 700 seats, yahoo. I'm excited about the show. 

Just got back from Tin Pan South in Nashville met some great songwriters and heard great music all week. I will be going back for sure to do some more music related stuff. And so the journey continues.......................................................

Just got back from Kauai music festival It was amazing once again. I had the best time, met the nicest people. So many talented songwriters it was inspiring once again and if I had my way I would live the rest of my life hanging out with other musicians and songwriters. I had such a great time. I have written a couple of new songs, It's a beginning and I'm very excited to be writing again. yippee and on to the next musical adventure. I have my next gig at Gizzis September 13th at 8pm I will be part of the Women in Music week. My sleep patterns are a little screwy right now since it's 6 hours earlier in Hawaii.

Well i just went out to see my friend Amy Lennard and i'm so proud of her progress, she had her CD release show at the Cutting Room tonight and had a great turnout. I need to put together a band and get out there again. My last full band show was my CD release show at the Bitter End a year ago March.

Although I'm grateful I have been doing solo gigs at Gizzis. I would really like to put together a group of really super fine musicians and get out there and start playing again. I have just started writing a new song...... finally it's been 2 years since I wrote my last song right after my dad died. It's been a rough couple of years for me and I hope this hard time is coming to an end soon. At least that's my prayer, suffering is overrated and you can take it for just so long and then it gets exhausting. I'm pretty tired right now. Ready for some good stuff, praying for some good stuff. Bring on the good stuff.

Well I had my CD release at the Bitter End and it was a great success 100 people came and now I need to get my butt in gear and get out there again.

I am trying frantically to figure out where i will be having my CD release party and finishing up some last minute details on the CD. I still need to get some new photos taken since the Time Will Tell photo is tres old. Need a website too.
