The Making of 2011 Blog 13, lucky?

Yes i am!! very lucky girl, woman, of the human species.

what's new you might ask? well, I'm off to Chicago tomorrow to join Corky Siegel and his group called Chamber Blues. An eclectic mix of his harmonica playing [ps. he know that thing so well, it's really like a mini piano in his mouth, haha!] and a string quartet, plus a percussionist. they are all lovely people and dear friends. it will be a year since the last gig i did with them nearly. always fun to see them and i have to say corky has enough enthusiasm for a million people. what a showman!!

then what? i'm back here in cali to figure out what's gonna happen next with my "record". i'm also planning some very exciting music stuff/rehearsals/possible gigs when i get back.

been doing some writing with a very cool new guy I met named klaus derendorf. v talented. we're writing for some very big artists right now. names will be disclosed later. don't wanna jinx it, hehe!! i know i know, not very evolutionarily evolved to b superstitious; i ain't perfect...:-)

i did a vocal on a "dance" record, co-wrote it with a cool dj who is american via the uk named gina star. that will be out sometime this summer. you know me, I love all kinds of music.

my heart is in my eternal love for "soul". found a cool station on satellite radio called 'soultown" love it.

oh, and sporting a new haircut by a gr8 stylist i just got turned onto named krystal @ guy matthew salon, she roxxxxx!!

all in all, things are good and i am very fortunate. wishing much love and happiness for all our brothers and sisters here in the us in overseas in recent killer storms and quakes.

BIG love, peace and out xoxoxoxo

The Making of 2011 Blog 12

Well, I'm up to my usual antics: it's 1:32 am and I'm wide awake...what's new??

i haven't blogged recently cuz there wasn't much new to tell. but just a little update: last week I went to my publishers and we had a "listening" session to the 5 tracks that larry produced. everyone seemed to really enjoy them. there's talk about doing another 5 which will be determined a few weeks from now.

meanwhile, i'm writing some new songs for myself and working on some demos on some of my songs in my home studio which is just great fun and easily transports me to a fantastic mood.

i'm also writing some songs with other writers for other artists which is going well. i'm getting antsy to do some gigs in the LA area very soon, over the summer. I have already been invited to do a gig at a very cool venue which i'll divulge soon....

that's it for now, until i get the next urge to do a new blog..

much love, always xoxoxo
