WHOA! I had my first Pod-interview yesterday!! It was on the BIG SHOW with Aaron Bates !! I think he told me it will air on Podcast #51. If the number changes, I’ll fix the banner. Any way, I’m SO hoping I didn’t sound like a complete idiot!!  ARG!! He did his homework and we covered a lot of ground. Seriously, we talked about music, or course, acting, pageants, speaking Spanish, and The Passion of Christ…you name it! Oye! We did the interview, via Skype, and I have to admit, I’ve had a better time with Yahoo Messenger than Skype. In fact, Tim, from RadioGetsWild , told me as much, and man, you were right! By the way, here’s a little plug for RGW: I have an interview with them this Wednesday. I think it’s my interview week, because I have an interview scheduled with C-Dogg on Tuesday. It’s kind of fallen that way. The first interview with RGW was delayed because of technical issues, so the reschedule happened to fall this week. ...

Yes, it’s 2:30am and I’m up!  But there is good reason!! First I am SO grateful to Kelly Carr of Pilotdrift !!! Kelly you SO rock!! He allowed me to use his home studio to rush some dry vocals to Slau for the PMN Holiday song!! It’s pretty cool! Slau wrote the song and it’s really AWESOME! A bunch of people were asked to sing on it and I found out about it pretty late in the game. Oh well, I am very honored to be asked and am excited about the song. All of the proceeds will go to UNICEF. I was a bit tired so the vocals may not be the best, but hopefully he can find something to put in.     BTW – If you haven’t heard Pilotdrift ? You are SO missing out!!!! And another thing...this is an awesome website for uploads: http://www.yousendit.com     Okay, here’s the lyrics to (I’ll Be There) On Chris tmas Day:   Oh, it's Chris tmas time again How I miss you I wish I hadn't been so far away I'll be comi...

Well, writing a Christmas holiday song has got to be listed as one of the toughest things to do.  I wanted to write a song…like a carol…that you could hear Bing Crosby or Rosemary Clooney sing. I toiled and toiled over every detail. I think I honestly irritated my mom. She’s a pianist and knows how much of a perfectionist I am and probably got sick of my melody, chord and lyric variations. She’s my mother, but also my second worst critic. I had to let it sit for days at a time while I “stepped away” and worked on non-holiday songs.   Well, last weekend, Chris heard it, put in the “Chris factor” and that was it! I guess one thing that made me really happy is that Chris really liked it…and he’s a HARD man to please musically. We drove around in the car to hear the levels from a typical car stereo and he commented on how he honestly liked the song. (PTL!!)   Now, to C.C. and the U-Turn Café. C.C. was the ...

Happy Thanksgiving!!   I hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving! I spent most of the “off” day I had today trying to hook up my JX-10 to my computer! ARG! What a headache!  (…may ask for help on this one!!) Anyway, I have a new page on the website: http://www.karmyntyler.com/music1.html . I’ve been getting quite a bit of response for Drifting and am honored! Hopefully this way, Chris and I can put a little more food on the table! We have also recorded a Chris tmas song (DEMO-ed) that will be put on the PMN after Thanksgiving. I’ll blog more on that later…THAT was an experience!  (hee, hee!!) It’s not like Drifting ; I really wanted it to feel like an old traditional holiday song, but always allowing the “ Chris -factor” to make it extra special. (Yeah!!) So, grab your cocoa, snuggle by the fireplace with the one you love and enjoy!   Thank you again for enjoying our music! And I’m SO sorry for the bl...

Poor Rafa! He had to bow out of the Shanghai Tennis Masters Cup because of an injury! You’re still adorable!  Take care of yourself so we can watch you…and Federer play at the Masters…and let us NOT forget Andre!

I have to give a shout-out to Dr. Mike of RadioIOJazz !     You are SO awesome! He featured our album all last week! And now...they are playing Drifting! Whoa!! Thank you SO much!!! He was also kind enough to put the Drifting single artwork (made my Debbie) on the page. It's toward the bottom!     I can honestly say that the music on RadioIOJazz is great!!! AND go ahead and invest in SoundPass!! It's worth it!! The sound is a zillion times richer!!

Okay, a word about my song Drifting. In response to the Podcast issue, I wrote a smooth jazz song, had Chris arrange it and put it on the PMN. Well, Bill heard it, really liked it, and wanted to start another album with some original music. (Eek! No pressure!) Well, with Chris and I having day music jobs, it may take awhile…such is life. But, I did want to go ahead and blog about it because I’ve been getting a pretty good response from the PMN! (Shout out to Adam Curry, C.C., the PMC Top Ten , The Big Show with Aaron Bates, and all you guys playing the tune!) It’s so surreal!! Also, blogging gives the platform to share like this…   The inspiration for the song? That’s easy, heartache. We’ve all had it and it’s usually difficult to put in words or song. I tried…and here are the words:   Drifting Words/music Karmyn Tyler (BMI) Arrangement Chris Meeks (ASCAP) © 2005   The rain trickles down the corners of my mind Heaven wa...

I literally just talked to Dee and the (European) interview has been changed to November 30 th .   Check out Radio Gets Wild ! They are really awesome!! (And not just because they play my stuff! I’d listen even if they didn’t!!)   Going to teach! (la, la, la!!)
