Song Rec for Exchange Playlist
Jun. 4th, 2011 09:34 amPerfect Severus song. Jonny Lang sings this like a man whose soul is being torn from his body by the cold-hearted woman walking away from him. This song has haunted me since I first saw this, not only for the lyrics, which could have been written by Severus about Lily, but the heartbreaking performance of a man listening to the retreating steps of the woman who is holding his heart in her careless hand.

Guitar Pr0n - And Just For Me!
May. 17th, 2011 07:13 pmMy former music student, now guitar god, Todd, promised me a customised pink Telecaster at Christmas. Then his gorgeous, sexy as hell belly dancing wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to had a double mastectomy. But they are the bravest, toughest, most positive thinking family I know, and Glen dealt with her surgery in the most fearless way, and is now tackling her chemo treatments like a Valkyrie, and Todd is supporting her in the most Husband-of-the-year-award ways a man can. I take my hat off to them both.
In between, he emailed me today that he's almost finished with my guitar, known as either the TeddyCaster or the TeleRadiator, I'm not sure which, but I had to show you how talented this dude is in so many ways. He and Glen are heroes deluxe, and I'm so proud to call them friends.

Like A Girlie With A New Bike
Mar. 21st, 2011 10:09 pmWhoo hoo! I've just received three of the seven mixdowns from our recording sessions. I'm really so happy with it that I'm just going to share it with you.
The song is called Thanks For Nothing, and can be heard HERE, I think. This is the original link, and I know it's safe, but it will download the song, so you can listen if you like, then delete it. If you have Windows Media Player, it should download it automatically to that. I'm playing the piano (you'll know why I'm NOT known for my keyboard skills!), singing and the Hubs is playing bass.
I hope to add others later, but this is one that I wanted to share.
The last two chapters of The Sensual World have been posted on Ash, and that means my vacation is over. I've been using them as an excuse not to finish Lay Me Low Chapter 17, and now I have to get back to work. It is, after all a tough chapter.

Ten Feet Off The Ground
Mar. 20th, 2011 06:25 pmToday has been a day to remember. We returned to the recording studio to finish the CD for our Songwriters Guild concert on Saturday, and all the boys show up with guitars, mandolins, percussion, the works, and proceed to spend most of the day producing the hell out of my song. Incredible. We ended up with seven songs for this CD we're doing. Three of them are mine. One is the title track. I'm totally stunned. I'm just sitting there, hearing all this beautiful work on MY stuff, tears rolling down my face, thinking: these guys are just the best.
Tomorrow we're on our local radio station promoting the concert, which will be next Saturday. If y'all are in the neighborhood, drop by and see us. We mix down tomorrow, and I promise to put a couple of the tracks on YouTube. Yes, I'm that proud of them, that I'm going to put them here. Gosh, I might even put a photo of myself on it. Nah, who am I kidding?
Saturday from Hell turned out better than I expected, and once the problem group arrived, they were actually very nice and courteous and loved everything we did. We made money and ate Mexican afterward. It was a nice day.
Off to eat at our friends house for games night. I think K's serving Brinner (breakfast eaten at dinner). I'm starving. Being inspirational is hard work.
