A SHOW FOR MY MOTHER

My mother – bless her – will turn 90 years old this year. She insists that I sing somewhere, anywhere just so she can sit in the audience and watch. So, in honor of my mother, I am doing a small performance in Connecticut in the spring. Something intimate with jazz standards and music from her era with probably just me and a pianist.Here is an exclusive preview from a rehearsal. It’s a video of me working on Summertime: http://youtu.be/l7lZ3A6HIU4. Only lucky people who have this link can see it! (Don’t you feel special? You should because are to me!) : )I wasn’t going to share it because it’s not perfect, but then I thought about it and decided that is why I should share it – because it’s not perfect! This is real life and I will always be real.

OTHER PROJECTS

I’ve been putting a lot of effort and work into our new website: http://WomenMovetheSoul.com. It is women inspiring women, with inspirational stories by and about – who else? Women! Please visit, leave some comments and think about contributing a story or giving a shout out to your mom!

BACK TO THE MUSICAL PERSPECTIVE

There are plans to attend NAM (a music convention) this year in Tennessee, a possible gig in Chicago this summer and a trip to Detroit to do some recording.The CD? Working, working — slowly working on it. I seriously hope to be posting a completed new song by the end of February. I just might post some roughs of ideas that I’ve been working on to get some feedback. If we’re not connected on Facebook, please join me there and subscribe to me on youtube.Happy 2012! Your presence means a lot to me. Thank you so much everybody for being here.
