It was so much fun to sing with the Magnolia Jazz Band again late last month, on such a beautiful day in Napa.  It seemed like Summer, but the next thing I knew, it was time to get ready for October Share The Music Day.  This is an informal event where the students play for each other and their parents.  It’s not easy to get everyone organized into  groups and  feeling confident about a couple of pieces, but it’s one of my very best tricks!  Meanwhile, I sent off the copyright papers for the fourteenth and final song for the album I’ve been writing.  This called for a celebration,  so I stopped at Burger King for an ice cream cone.  Since I count calories everyday this 170 calories of frozen vanilla delight is one of my very best treats!

    Memories of Halloween come “trick-ling” back to me this time of year. My family lived in a small town where traditional Trick-or-Treat was entirely safe.

  • Can We?

    We try, and try, and try.  Our effort is not enough.  We cry, and cry, and cry.  Our tears flow to nowhere.  There is a Loving Source, call it what you may, that can heal every heart, take the world’s pain away. Can I, can you, can we focus on Love, and Light, and Peace?

    With leftover turkey soup in the freezer, and the new year feeling about a quick minute away, I’m deep in the holiday to-do list. Every year I try to simplify, but it still overwhelms. Apparently I don’t now how to decorate just a little, or invite less company, or keep the shopping to a minimum….

    I’ve been hit with a sudden urge to audition for America’s Got Talent.  Apparently the desire to share my inspirational originals with the world at large is filling me with some serious chutzpah.  So, it’s time to sit at the piano for hours, somehow cutting my precious jewels down to 90 second finely facetted gems…

  • “Springified”

    It’s the season for something new.  So when I got an email intro to Dan Damon from our mutual  webmaster, I absolutely had to go hear him.  Dan performs both jazz & spiritual music just like I do, and plays an extremely pleasant jazz piano at Hotel Mac in Pt. Richmond.  It was a lovely evening and so nice to meet…
