Tore My Heart
Magic and Madness and Video…
Lo & Behold, look at all the fresh young minds!!!!! I love you all, and wish I could touch my toes to my ear.
On songwriting…
Hey all Haven’t had a chance to post for almost a week here, my apologies! My brain has been exploding with musical ideas right and left, so I’ve been trying to take advantage of the inspiration and write some new music. I am pleased with the results, especially when they are given even the most [...]
Last night’s band practice.
Yesterday I told you about learning guitar chords that twisted my brain into an enamored frenzy.

I mean it isn’t a pleasant sensation, but check [...]

Dear 2009: A love letter
Dear 2009, what adventures we had! I’ll always remember you, and thank you for preparing me for what may come….
The week between…
Chock full of musicians, piano playing that made my heart sprout tentacles just so they could sway along. Flip-flop-heart. Felt so good. Guitar around a fire did the same, Viva el Clandestino….
More creepy Tore My Heart magic!

Ohhhh what a night.
This is Sonya Tayeh. She is from Detroit. She moved to San Francisco, sat in a studio for three years and thought about how she wanted to move, and then she headed for Los Angeles. Look at her now. You go girl. I think that’s what we all do, to various degrees, if we are [...]

One week later…
One week ago I woke up to a 5am text message from my sister in DC letting us know “Tore My Heart” was on iTunes. We had canceled Tuesday’s band practice so we could watch “So You Think You Can Dance” – and we rarely cancel band practice. A lot can happen in a week. [...]

Ice Skating: Fur, Velour, but no spills.
Yesterday I was corralled by a dapper man in a mustache, who swept me away from the computer and took me to the Oakland Ice Center, where we boldly slithered across the ice balanced on razor blades. I’ve been once before, a Valentine’s day field trip in gradeschool. My older sister, ever the athlete, could [...]
