I Want to be Adored


After many years of dreaming, practicing, writing, throwing away and trying again, I have written a song that I finally had the courage to get professionally recorded...

My friend Jay Perris was kind enough to invite me to his recording studio and after spending a day
recording, mixing, laughing, sighing and crying we came up with a song I wrote a week ago called
I Want to be Adored....I have a dream...a big far fetched crazy nearly impossible dream of being accepted at The Holiday Music Motel songwriters week coming up in February called Love On Holiday.   To do this I have to submit orignal songs.  I Want to be Adored is my first submission...

I really jumped off the ledge into the unknown this time...I opened up an account on Soundcloud...I made my "album cover"!!  I just kept at it, one step at a time...when I got frustrated with the music I switched to working on the cover.   One tune down, two more to go...

Have a look and a listen.

UPDATE!!!!   I HAVE SINCE RECORDED TWO MORE SONGS WHICH NOW APPEAR ON MY SOUNDCLOUD......

Long Beach Open Studio Tour

Long beach open studio tour kept me so busy making earrings that I didn't even post it here...
Had a really time...GeriatriX got to play on Sunday and that was very cool...
Realized I had no interest in promoting my jewelry...I did' even hand out cards...Music seems to be my main thing now...
I did have some nice sales however and to some very nice people...Husbands buying their wives a little something....
No Pics...I was too busy....

The GeriatriX

 I am in a ukulele group with a couple from the Long Beach Ukulele Club...An old friend of mine jumped on board to play bass with us and his contribution has added so much...Nothing like a seasoned bass player to take things to another level...
Here is a photo of us playing at Fox Coffee House, a cool little place that conveniently opened up at the end of my street...Open Mike nights on Thursday and Saturday got us our first taste of performing.

This little band of ours is a lot of fun and the people who are involved, Jeri, Mike and Gerald have made our little group a joy...

A darkening and the faint image of orange wings!
