This week’s Blogging for Fun (BFF) Inspiration: DANCING ACROSS THE KEYS I stop here for a few moments as within the music of the sea gently rocking my soul, cradling my emotions, I find a bit of respite from the frenzy of the day as I stop and inhale the soothing music of the waves […]
If I had courage, I would put this on the other FB where it belongs…but I don’t, so…if any of my so-called friends (the musicians, that is) want me to go to the AmerLegion tonight and make them sound better (because they’re just mediocre on their own) I need $20…and that’s a bargain…well, I feel […]
…I wanted to say “yes”…a drummer friend of mine invited me to sit in with his band (I think he needed to stretch his legs–it was a tiny place) but frankly I was too scared…went to see another band, they were pretty good…a member of the audience suggested I sing with that band–I can only […]
a rather bizarre day IMO…the power went out ’round 2pm, I ripped the ass outta the only jeans I had left…the money I thought was in the bank (even though it was “spoken for”) was gone–so I’m NOT overdrawn, but I was willing to be…the gig I so counted on was canceled (the power outage) […]
The inspiration for covering this song came from my Facebook activity feed. Someone posed the question: “What is your most romantic song of all time?”… This song was my reply. To this very day, I found that listening to the Jennifer Warnes version (this song was originally written by Leonard Cohen and then modified by […]
It seemed like it was going to be just the kind of go-out-and-meet-new-people at sober places event that I’ve been looking for in my neighborhood. I found the listing on the calendar of the Seattle Ukulele Players Association. It showed a “ukulele cricle” on the last Wednesday of every month not too far from my […]
I’ve performed in front of live crowds 100, maybe 150 times in the last few years. Each venue has it’s particular idiosyncrasies, and my state of mind and preparedness on each occasion varies as well. I’d think I would have gotten used to these variables by now, but last night, I was really thrown off […]
I am mirroring something here, that I just posted over at UkuleleUnderground.com. It’s kind of an interesting story, and I’m certainly curious as what it was that ended up in my hands tonight! I’ll update this blog if any of the ukulele experts at that site (where I happen to be a “Senior Member) come […]
that’s what Dad would say referring to someone who had crossed the line past confidence into arrogance…for the time being, that’s where *I* am…sat in vocally with a band I’d never seen/heard before…I’m acquainted with most of the band members a little…I was quite happy being a listener, hanging with some other acquaintances…The two guitar […]
when it comes to computers I’m fairly ignorant…but this blog is about a computer dilemma of sorts…somewhere, on the hard drive of a CPU I no longer own is MY iTunes library…this library is also in my iPod–I think, it needs to be charged up…I’ve let it die before and charged it up; didn’t lose […]
