This is a guitar player to watch. He’s only 11 peeps. Wow. just WOW
Music Monday: Tracy Chapman, Stand By Me
I was living in Chicago when I discovered Tracy Chapman’s music. Love this woman’s vibe and sound.
Make Your Life Spectacular, Robin Williams Tribute
I’m not one for celebrity, so I have no idea why Robin’s death impacted me so hard. Maybe it’s because I’ve been depressed before, maybe it’s because I do comedy for a living. I don’t know. I just know that I grew up watching this man, loving every minute of it. He was part of my childhood, my young adulthood, and my kid’s lives (think Aladdin and Hook). He’s even part of me now as I find the courage to make people laugh. I would give anything for his spontaneity and talent.
My favorite memory involving Robin is when I was 13. We didn’t have cable so of course my mother had never seen his real stand up. We were at Sears N Robuck and I saw his album Reality What a Concept. I begged my mother to buy it for me for my birthday. She looked at it, though Oh It’s that Mork guy – sure you can have it.
HA!
We listened to it, I laughed at the funny voices, Mom laughed at all of the jokes that went over my head and she took it away from me until I was 18.
This is a beautiful tribute. It’s only just over a minute long — I love the words.

Music Monday: Don’t You Forget About Me, Simple Minds
Do you know what scares me the most? Being forgotten.
My leg is broken. My ankle is shot. It will be over a year before I am well enough to perform again. It’ll be 2015 before I’ll be allowed to ride with the Tulsa Diva’s.
All proof that I ever did comedy is in a video camera that was stolen last summer. I keep my Facebook page alive simply because I don’t want to be forgotten. I’m not alone.
Most authors, comics, actors,athletes, hope for just some small piece of immortality. We want to know we make a difference. That we matter. This song is for us.
Music Monday: John Hiatt, Have a Little Faith in Me
I love songwriters.
Real song writers.
Maybe I’m partial because I married one. Granted mine has a day job, so he’s more like an artist who eats.
I love real musicians who not only actually play instruments, they write their own songs.
I’d rather listen to an original than a cover.
John has a gritty and soulful voice that lifts me up.
Enjoy.
Music Monday: I’m gone be an engineer – Pete Seeger
This song was written by Peggy Seeger. This is Pete’s performance on banjo. When I think of banjo, I think of Pete Seeger style – boom ditty. I hope you enjoy.
Music Monday: Groove in G, Playing for Change
This is cool. I had to share it with you guys.
