Master

Laying in bed

In a hotel room with parents

They are sleeping

I am listening to my MASTER CD for the umpteenth time

Hope it can finally go into production tomorrow

Had a Crumbs cupcake and lovely walk with Cara Scherker, my beautiful friend and background singer who is leaving for 5 months on a cruise. Boo, I will miss her, but I think it will be a great experience for her. 

Had some dope salad and pasta with parents at Patsy's in Chelsea,

then went to the Clearview theater to see

"Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"

and it was a reallly good movie!

Warning Shot

After doing some music for babies,

I took a walk in the park

with Neil Schwartz

We discussed "Warning Shot."

He is doing the choreography for my performance 

at the next "Sirens After Dark" show on May 8th

We are so excited!

It was so beautiful in the park!

I took Anes at Peridance

and saw a dancer

who I haven't seen in a long time

She is 20

So young,

such a great spirit.

I love Anes and his choreography

I love the music that he chooses to dance to

I love art

Parkway

Listening to one of my favorite songs, "Parkway" by Gaelle.

Parkway - Gaelle

I love her album, "Transient." It is so amazing.


I had a great day today at work, singing for babies, at the park with my friend and the cute little boy she nannies, getting some things done at home, and having a great Bikram class.


Now it's time to eat noodles and watch "American Idol" and then hit the sack!!

Nap times

So I am a night owl. We probably know this...

I was so tired at work today, when I got home I napped. Then I got up to try to skype with my brother and nephews. Their internet wasn't working the best, but I did get to see my new baby nephew who was so precious.

Then I napped some moooooore....

However, after work, before my nap, I DID take the master to the printing house. Cross your fingers that the master works out, and they can duplicate and print this sucka!!

Limonade

Going a little crazy here at my computer desk getting things done, emails written....

Listened to the master, and it sounds pretty good....I think it's ready to go to the printing house tomorrow, thank goodness!!

Today I got to see my friend Anton Briones (who is designing my website) in the play Limonade Tous Les Jours by Charles Mee. Great acting & great play. I love Charles Mee, who also wrote the play "Big Love," which remains one of the best shows I've seen.

Oooh lalalala....

GREAT show tonight at Pianos!!

I really had a fun time at my show tonight....I wasn't in my head too much...I enjoyed singing and playing with my band...

There was some confusion, they had too many acts playing upstairs, so we had to cut the set down to 30 minutes. We did Saturday, Still, 2 Bad 2 Do Good, Two Time, Ooh-la la la / Red Light Special medley, & Warning Shot. The guys sounded great, and it was Cara's last gig with me before she leaves...boooo....its ok, she will be back.

Next show, May 18th @ Bitter End...CD Release Party....weee!!!!

ICED COFFEE

Spring is here....

Iced coffeee......specifically Blueberry iced coffee from Dunkin' Donuts. My favorite!

I slept innnn this morning, and then got a few things done....

Went to take LaJon at BDC, and it was a good class. The twins were there (Scott & Brian Nicholson) who are two of my favorite people. They have danced for me on a couple shows. We were all wearing a white shirt and navy sweatpants. WEIRD....accidental uniform....

Went to Cara Scherker's going away gathering. (I work with her and she sings backgrounds at my shows) She will be on a cruise for 5 months, so I will miss her greatly, but she will be singing lead in the band on the ship, and I think it will be an amazing opportunity for her....

SHOW tonight @ Pianos....yay!

The Moon and the Sky

I love this song by Sade:





Trying to finish up master, ALMOST ready to take into printing...AAAGGH...


Had a long morning/afternoon of kid's music classes. Found myself very up and down again today, getting caught in negative thinking, comparing myself to other artists, etc.


However, I was able to take a walk in the park for a little bit, and it was a BEAUTIFUL day. Also made a bunch of calls to people who were able to give me some great insight, and make me feel better, including my dad. I talk on the phone alot with my mom, but it was so good to talk to my dad. He is so supportive and encouraging. I love both my parents so much. (Mom, I know you read this, haha...you may be one of the only readers. LOL)


I also had a good workout at Bally's, including going in the pool for a little bit and swimming some laps. So refreshing! I really needed it. I'll have to swim more often.


I had a rehearsal with the Bloodsugars tonight at Funkadelic, and it went well....even though in the first hour, we blew a fuse AND broke a lightbulb....hahahahahaa...I love playing with those guys so much: Brendan, Kenneth, and Jason. They are good people.


Tomorrow's another day. I hope I can stay strong, and never stop growing.

SADE

Thank goodness for Sade when you're feeling crazy!!

This is like the calmest music ever!!

Tried it!!!!

Aaah!

What a rollercoaster day.

I had therapy this afternoon, which is like my happy place. So appreciative for a good therapist.

Had rehearsal tonight at AM studios, which went pretty well. Interesting set-up. Keys, backgrounds, cajon, sax/flute, and guitar.

Went to Craig Derry's vocal class and saw Erin Christine, which is always good. She is working it. We both performed, and I sang Warning Shot which was fun, and Erin sang a new song which was awesome!

BUT, I am having problems with the the "Suitcases" master CD. and I am really hoping we can figure this out SOON, and it needs to be perfect, because there will be 1000 copies printed.

EEGGGGH, cross ya fingers for me!
