Grand Saline!!

Okay Grand Saline was really fun!! Everyone was SO nice!! It’s a small town where everyone knows EVERYTHING about EVERYONE!! Which can be cool…or not so cool according to a really cool check out girl at Brookshires! J  I completely understand though!! Everybody in “your” business? Eek!! She was so funny! Well, I stayed at an AWESOME Bed & Breakfast called Little Fannie’s! (…the story about it is AWESOME too!!) Anywho I went into town to get some vittles for in the morning….because I’m picky…(hee, hee)…and when I was checking out she (the really cool check out girl at Brookshires) said…so you’re the girl who’s picture’s been all in the paper! I was like….uh yeah, I guess that’s me! (Eek!!)


 


Anyway, the concert was SO much fun!! And people actually danced!! (Yeah!!!) I did however goof on Dancing in the Dark/Night & Day!! I’m not sure what happened, but I lost it…the words…I know I said something…in rhythm…and as I understand…it even rhymed!! ARG!!! I thought only my mother and producer, Bill (who came…thank you SO much you are SO awesome and having my first “Canton” experience with you was FAN-TABULOUS!!! I love you, Bill!! And I LOVE my gifts!! And I can’t WAIT to see the dresses Reggie has for me!!!!….insert music…..“I feel pretty, oh so pretty…..”) Okay, back to the concert….I thought no one would know, but….JOSH!!! Lew’s cool son with REALLY awesome hair…came up to me and said, “so, did you change the words to Dancing in the Dark/Night & Day?” I was like, oh my gosh, yeah, I had a brain laps. And Josh told me that he had listened to my CD quite a bit and so he knew I messed up, BUT he said that unless you knew, you wouldn’t have even guessed!! Mom and Lew told me the same thing!! YEAH!! Oh well, no one’s perfect!! And sometimes that’s hard for me to deal with!!!! At least…ME being perfect!! (hee, hee!!!)


 

More later, but Grand Saline…was awesome!! Thank you Grand Saline for making me feel so special….i’m SOOOO honored that you asked me!!!

Wow! I'm glad my hair left such an impression... Anyway, I wanted to tell you again how much I enjoyed the concert, or performance (can you call a show in front of 100 seniors a concert?). Your song "Drifting" was by far my favorite, though I loved all of it. Even the improvisation on Dancing in the Dark was well sung ;->. I wish you the best and I hope you get everything you deserve. Let me know ok!

Happy Thanksgiving! Now where's my kast?

Yes, it's been a long time. The long and the short of it? Family illness (my father is recovering perfectly - praise God!), I've been working (praise God!) and I have not had a lot of time. I honestly have 3 podcasts ready, BUT as I was getting the first one edited, one of my extended hard drives started acting strangely. I took it in and.....well......it's not looking good. For some reason it won't boot in my computer and it makes other computers crash. My LIFE is in that drive. My computer guy said I could pay $800 (WHAT!) to take it to a special transferring place. And one of his clients paid $15,000 to get that done. (The client? James Cameron.) Well, I don't have that kind of money, so he's (my computer guy) making a few phone calls to HP to see what can be done. I am grateful for a lot of things! And if the drive is lost for good, I'll have to start ALL over. All over. Not just with my kast, but also my music, my professional photos, resumes....everyth

...get me some cig-rettes!!

Yeah, yeah, I know it’s been awhile since I “really” blogged. But I can tell ya some cool stuff that’s happening. First off, I’m working with an amazingly talented brass musician and composer, Dr. Tomas Stone!! (Who happens to be my best friend, Jen’s hubby!! They are SO adorable together!! And in all honestly they could and SHOULD do stand-up comedy together! I laugh so hard I hurt every time I’m with ‘em!!…………“Baby, go thru Starbuck’s & get me some cig-rettes!!” ROAR!!!!) Last week Tom & Chris (…sorry, I can’t remember your last name at the moment…but your wife sounded nice on the phone!!! J ) informed me that one of the tunes I wrote was a NO, R&B song….well….COOL! All I knew was when Chris (last-names-less) played on it, I was like…uh, that’s like EXACTLY what I’m hearing in my head!! (Which is actually a scary thing…no one needs inside my head…not even ME sometimes!) Anywho, Tom’s brass sounded PHENOMINAL on it….yeah, Tom’s brass….(Jen……stop with the comments!!!) HA!!!
