My website is finally live! I want to express my appreciation with much gratitude and joy to each and every one of you who have given encouragement and support for my new holiday album, Noel!! I hope the album will become a cherished collection of Christmas music to be enjoyed for many years to come. Your kind words and enthusiasm have made every penny spent, every minute spent in the studio, worth it! Recording is both painful and rewarding. I love it when the magic is captured in the studio! But what I love even more is the energy exchange that takes place when I sing for an audience, looking people in the eye, and knowing that what is inside of me being expressed through song is well received. In the studio, it's just me and the lone microphone and the weight of knowing everything has to be so.....perfect. It reminds me of my college years studying classical piano, hours spent perfecting and polishing the repertoire. While I'm so grateful for the experience and discipline I learned, I've found the freedom of the guitar and writing my own songs to be rewarding beyond measure. (no pun intended.) Metronome??? Shmetronome! (I know my former students will need to pick their jaw from off the ground if they didn't just die of cardiac arrest.) Ah, the beauty of rubato! (said with an Italian accent.) I'm so grateful to be doing what I love to do most. It is liberating! And so, with much joy from my world to yours, I want to say thank you! and Joyeux Noel!!! |
