Tag: 300 songs

January's over, and I'm about 5% of the way toward my BHAG of recording 300 songs in 2013. That's 21 songs toward my ultimate goal of 300. Only 279 to go! Anyone else would say "Holy crap! you've recorded that many songs!?! That's Awesome!" Me? I have to remind myself to not be all "meh" […]

It won a Grammy for Best Disco song - and then the category was promptly removed. I guess you could say when they made this award-winning song they broke the mold! Put on your platforms, and don't be afraid to get a little goofy - I certainly did! Have a good laugh and enjoy this […]

So if this post feels strangely familiar, that's why.] This past year, I've been not-so-covertly working with Karl Staib on his twitter parties. He's been helping […]

How could I not sing this song as the end of the year approaches? Reminder: These are my "audition" videos -meaning they're meant to give you a tastes of what I'm working on. They are NOT the final recordings. This is the last video I'll post before the 300 songs in 2013 begins. Wish me […]

I don't watch much television and rarely, if ever, watch the news. I had just finished my certification in Reiki training and a favorite song of mine jumped into my head. So I got a wild hair to start working on it in my studio. About an hour later, I was taking a break when […]
