Flash In The Pan or The Hope Diamond: Understanding True Heroes

Anyone can be a hero for a day. An above-and-beyond gesture. An extra dose of good-will. Being in the right place at the right time. Anyone can have a day like that, do something awesome, and be a hero for a day or two. True heroes walk the walk, even when it's difficult. They do […]

Piano Man

It's not an easy song for a woman to sing. It wasn't written for a woman to sing. Until we started the studio rearrange, I wasn't sure I'd ever attempt to sing "Piano Man" - since my low range isn't very strong, and I couldn't boost the signal enough for it to be understandable. But […]

It reminded me that nobody's perfect, we all make mistakes, and that's how we learn. Have you been beating yourself up because you're not perfect? This catchy little tune might […]

And So It Goes

One of my favorite songs of all time, I think it is one of Billy Joel's most underrated pieces. It's a powerful, melancholy, yet hopeful tune. You kind of yearn to know how it's all going to turn out. I sang this for an audition once with an Irish accent and it got me the […]
