Merry Christmas!   I hope everyone is having a terrific holiday! I’ve been battling a cold off and on, one with a mean desire to keep my ears stuffed up!! My head feels like a balloon and it sounds like I’m listening to cotton move around in my ears all day long! Without having cotton in them! Actually it sounds like I’m in a silent classroom when all you hear is the soft buzz of the overhead lights…only through cotton! ARG! At the bottom is a quirky card I made to send out and for the parentals to send out. The funny thing about making it was finding the “best” picture of Annie!! J Mom, a.k.a. “Nana” to the dog, wanted a cute picture of the baby! SO after futzing trying to take several pictures, Nana finally caught the baby being cute AND looking at the camera! (Oye! my dog’s a genius!)   Two things:   1. Eban ( Reaching For Lucidity ) emailed me the coolest news! I’m like the queen of his Royal music Court! How cool is that! THANK YOU!!!

I'm WAY to sleepy to typing ANYTHING!!!

This is random….if you know me, you find out that “random” usually always means the “that’s really stupid, Karmyn; you need to get some sleep and/or seek professional help” category….well….RANDOM:   Okay, so I bought a paper cutter the other day…it works fine…it’s not industrial grade or anything…you know to trim up photos, paper, blah, blah, blah. Well, I was getting ready to put the packaging away…not throw it away in case something happens and I need to take it back. But while I grabbed the packaging, I saw something…interesting. On the box it had…quite ‘pridefully’ indicated…that this product has a “limited lifetime warranty.” Hmmm…what kind of oxymoron is THAT!? So, I read it and it’s for random things that go wrong with it from the manufacturing side; not for the “out of the ordinary” things that happen. I guess they just had one too ...

The Passion of...Karmyn??? Eek!!! The interview on The Big Show w/Aaron!!

Image
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. ...

(I'll Be There) On Christmas Day...lyrics...Slau...& Pilotdrift

Image
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...

C.C. Chapman's U-Turn Cafe-Holiday Show!

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 CafĂ©. C.C. was the ...
