Just hosted my second SF Singer-Songwriters' Workshop a few hours ago. Small group, especially due to the last minute change in venue (thank you Russo Music  for accomodating us on such short notice!) But I got to hear some great songs (and even sang some harmonies) by some up-and-comers. Apart from that, I've been teaching at the above mentioned music store. I've forgotten how fulfilling teaching can be. I feel incredibly lucky. Not only that, but putting in long hours editing my tracks for …

  ~ Happy Thanksgiving! ~   Last night, just before midnight, you helped me raise $2,600 so that I can complete my album. You read my newsletters. You answer my call. You guys are my heros. Here are the things I am grateful for, in no particular order: 1. I have friends and family that support me, even if they aren't necessarily into my music (is this you?) 2.

There are lots of other nifty rewards that you should definitely check out (if only for your entertainment).

I really appreciate you taking the time to read this and hopefully clicking on that link. Your support means the world to me! And please, if you think your friends would enjoy the music I make, pass this along!

Much love to you all,

True, it started a little late, but there was a first-come first-serve sign-up sheet (there was actually a choice of when to play!). Kanoa is probably the most talented bartender I've ever met. And I don't necessarily mean as a bartender. That man can SING! If there had been more women in the room there might have been swooning. And amazing, that can be said of a lot of the talent I saw last night. And that's what I love seeing at an open mic.
