New York, Here I Come!

Wednesday, 15 October 2008, 19:04 | Category : My Musical Friends, Other Stuff

In LESS THAN ONE WEEK I will be in New York City!
This is a Big Deal for me because I’m not a big fan of travel. Especially travel that involves airplanes. Only desire and crazy love could make me book such a trip. A love larger than my dread of being packed in tin and [...]

When Your Singing Sucks

Saturday, 11 October 2008, 13:52 | Category : Being a Singer, Music & Singing, My Gigs, Performing

There were moments last night when my singing truly sucked.
I remember each of those moments vividly. The last note of “It’s Only Love.” The high phrase near the end of “I’ve Just Seen a Face.” The Ab in “Don’t Blame Me.”
AND there were moments last night when I never sang better. Actually, there were whole [...]

and yet I don’t care.
Because soon, at 5:00 pm today I’ll be standing in front of a room
of strangers, [...]

Brilliant At Love

My friend Argo once told me that he’s not enormously talented at any one thing. Rather, he’s good at many things. Music. Acting. Directing. Graphic art. Now, I could have argued with him. I think he’s enormously talented at ALL those things. But I got his drift.

Facebook Fast

Wednesday, 8 October 2008, 14:04 | Category : Other Stuff

That’s it! No more Facebook.
I’m going on a Facebook Fast for at least a week.
I used to LOVE playing around on Facebook. Checking out what my “friends” are doing. What Jason is writing. What videos Lorrie has put up. Ali’s supportive comments and messages. Chatting with Mark every now and then.
For me, it was [...]
