How many E-mail accounts do I need?!!

Wow! I just realized I haven't logged into my gmail account in almost a year.   I have four e-mail accounts!  WHY?!!!! I wish it could be simple but alas... life is not simple.   If you knew how old I was you'd realize I have clung to two old e-mail services but have also tried to stay relevant so I did add the gmail account against my "big brother" worrisome mind a few years ago. Everything online is watched/monitored by someone (Big Brother).    Does everyone have

Yesterday (what a great movie!)

Wow! It is everything I wanted it to be.   I've wanted to see it but hate going to the movies alone. I was watching to see if it would hit Netflix but my lack of patience got the best of me at Wal-mart... I bought the DVD (Is this old fashion now to buy a DVD?)   Such a cool plot. Who thinks these things up?!!! A world with out The Beatles...brilliant plot!   The actors were amazing and the singing was beautiful. @Gazebo he plays at Latitude! (I totally thought

Sliver of A Moon

I met my co-writer on Facebook. We've done two songs via the internet as I live in the States and he lives in Wales. I didn't have a good melody for my lyrics and he created this awesome guitar lick and sang it. Funny thing to note is that he sang the word silver instead of SLiver but you'll get the gist of the song. Her is SLiver of a moon hope you like it:

Nashville is my home

It seems strange that I never dared to dream that Nashville would be my home. Yet, here I am living just north of it and driving in to see it's unmistakable skyline every weekday! I'm HERE!!! I have to tell anyone who wants to be in the music business, that yes being in Nashville is better for your career. I have not yet set all my music goals into motion and have already gotten networking connections without even trying. I will always consider Nashville my home from now on. I have no

Whoa! Time flies

What happened? Have I really been too tired to write? Ugh! Maybe it's because I've been busy, distracted, and uninspired. Perhaps the few projects I've been working on have been enough...but I really do want to write. There's a song on the tip of my pencil just waiting for me to find the time to get it to paper.   I wrote three songs for a specific project. I'd like to do two more for it. Somehow writing for someone else isn't as rewarding to me. When I write for me my brain goes on th

Lyrics about grief. Can they be used in music really?

Working with a licensing publisher by shear chance has opened my eyes to the uses of all lyrics.   My current grief has all these poems, thoughts, and full fledge lyrics pouring out of me. I kept thinking there is no way they can be of any use. They are dark and personal. Can anyone really identify with this? (enough to make it worthwhile?)   When I write, I try to make it a timeless scene. One that young and old, present and future can all identify with. Grief can be so spec

Nashville was great!

I was thrilled to have a week off to go visit friends up North and take a jaunt to Nashville. Yes, it was colder than Florida by a long shot. The warmth came from visiting with friends and moving toward my goal to move to Nashville this year. It amazes me what we will put with just to see friends and visit new places. All well worth it. Nashville was as expected. A big city with more crime than I want to live with and tons of traffic. On the positive side, the cost of living in the area is

Nashville in the air

Ah the smell of coffee! The empty page looking at me. The pen in my hand, patiently waiting for inspiration. Then WHAM! My Twitter lights up with some new followers from Nashville! YES! Love it! That starts the conversation with a co-worker (yup, the day job scenario...) who used to live in Nashville, has contacts there, and knows a realtor there! If you could only see my happy dance. (OK maybe you shouldn't see it! LOL I'm a writer not a dancer!) James, my co-woker, is on board to help me get t
