And now.... well, I've been writing and continuing my hunt for a producer for album #2 which is way over due! I'm pretty excited about the new songs....and I'm excited to record it and have you hear them!
Today was a beautiful, crisp, windy day. When I looked outside there
was a big morning moon hanging so delicately in the sky. It made me
think of my favorite Beatles' song, "Julia". I realized I didn't have
the song in my computer though, and crazy enough, The White Album isn't
available to purchase on itunes! (There's something I sort of like
about that though)
So I decided to cover it. It only took me 30 minutes, and it was
simply to satisfy the "fix" I needed to hear, sing, and play this
song. You can hear a lot of lip smacking, and a lot of unfinished
'ideas' of harmonies....
I've put the song to a bunch of tour videos* I've been collecting over
the past 3 years. I didn't try to synch anything up. These are just
randomly chosen clips** that I really like.*** (sigh...) I've come to
terms with the fact that I am just not a perfectionist, and I never
will be. So take it as you will. I hope you enjoy it.
love,

*some of these clips were taken by my friend Wendy Wang.
** can you guess where some of them are from in the world?
I've become addicted to Google Reader. For those of you who don't know, it's a thing on google that organizes all the blogs you're subscribed to, and makes them all available on this neat little page, so you don't have go to like, 20 different blog sites to see if they (hopefully) added a new blog.
In the beginning, I was only subscribed to 2 blogs. I didn't even really get what blogs were until I one day was searching for photographers online, and I stumbled upon some really pretty fashion photos that were on this girl's blog. I became fascinated with all the things she posted because they were so beautiful! The other blog is my friend Wendy's. She's hilarious, and tells good stories filled with her awesome dry humor.
So, I started out with these 2, and then from them, I started checking out more blogs via links they would post. Now I'm subscribed to 10 blogs, and "following" 3 people. Every morning, I have a cup of coffee, and sit down at my computer, and before I even look at emails, I open up Google Reader, and look at all the new posts. It's like my own new edition of a magazine every day. I find them all really inspiring!* I'm subscribed to ones on art, Paris, flowers, Japan, street fashion, and some in between. One has inspired what I want my wedding to look like. Another gives me confidence in how I dress**. So now....I've been reading tons of blogs, and writing none.
Until now.
As I've typed this blog (made just for myspace and my website), I've just created my own Blog! So holy poop--here we go!
*as I'm writing this, I'm wondering if this is boring people to tears. Are blogs so 3 years ago or something? I have no idea! I apologize if I'm behind the times and this is old news and/or you don't care about how much I'm into blogs these days. There always seems to be some lag time between popular things and me embracing them....I didn't start watching Sex & The City until last year!
**is it weird that I'm not telling you what blogs I belong to? the answer is probably "yes". I can't help it that I'm weirdly protective of them! :-o

So, one of the cover song suggestions came from a guy somewhere in cyberspace who recommended Louis Armstrong's "What A Wonderful World". As I was looking thru some of Louis' songs, I came across his version of "La Vie En Rose," which is a pretty kick ass version. I love Edith Piaf, and so...this song seemed to suit me even better! Jake Blanton is on guitar. I hope you like it. It's a very humble recording. ;)
