This song is self explanatory and will go on the new album. Darryl Manuel is responsible for the production on this track. I loved our Wednesday night music sessions. I would bring him a new song and he would urge me to change chords or add in an extra lyric. It is an honest song […]

When my daughter was small, or even the last time I saw her sleeping, I stared at her like serial killers do their victims. Okay, that sounds harsh eh? What I mean to say is this. I stare deeply and from a corner at the people I love. Wait, that sounds even worse now… Last […]

I am deeply aware of a few people who stalk me. The usual and rather unexpected kind  (thank you ex husband for informing me about the weirdos). And so one learns to be more careful with words – everywhere. Or not speak at all. A friend told me a few weeks back, ‘There is so […]

Every single time I am out on the town with friends and that moment finds me… when the music is perfect, when the crowd is in sync with each other and I had just enough whiskey….it’s that moment when everything within me becomes silent.  Just as I do when I rehearse and we are so […]

It is such a blessing performing with my band, for so many reasons. Aside from the real fact that they bring a fullness of sound….each and every one of them are so talented that when we play together it feels nothing short of joy. This performance was better than what we did when we opened […]

So damn windy and cold. One literally had to either dance, drink or sleep to deal with those icy cold swells that […]

At the end of each year I send friends a rather specific mail or text, a little prayer for them if you will. In it one does encounter the usual suspects. Hope and love above all. Of course I add in some titbits that is just for them. Yeah, I pray a lot and being […]

When I write music alone a few things are inevitable. Someone dies or love is uncovered in a post apocalyptic world amidst flame and ruin. In short when I write music there is no balance at all. One extreme or the other is all I know to do best. My life is the tightrope…. My […]

Ah yes. It is time I implemented my new plan, time I stopped focusing on other people. More music. Less people, that’s what 2020 has to be about. I mentioned all these weird moments in the last few weeks, didn’t I? And even with those I am still bored. Musically, emotionally – I need a […]
