Summer Is Here Oh Dear 

Disappointment is looming within me. All of this that I do in music is close to my heart. Some of the songs that I learn and generate touch me so personally. Others are a brief infatuation. Some, I am so excited to share for a multitude of reasons. Originals of course are always like that because they come from deep inside of your "artistic" place obviously. Some covers though feel more special than others. The challenge to put together or maybe just the chord progressions that grip you emotionally. Intensity and energy that they are to do mentally… Anyway, when you are on fire for what it is you have done that you are really pleased with and it falls flat… such a lonely feeling! You feel so misunderstood and you wonder why others don’t want to share in your joy. Almost makes you question your own perception and perspective! You begin to wonder why you feel so excited about something nobody else has any interest in taking the time to listen to! I pick covers of songs many times that aren’t hits. Obscurity is probably part of the issue with my latest SoundCloud cover. As with originals, obscure songs are hard to get people to listen to. My originals are so difficult to get heard!  

This cover makes me happy to share because of the intensity it took to produce the outcome. In this, I am beaming…Something about this one is very special to me.

This week, actually Tuesday is the last day of school for my Kindergarten gal. I think it’s sweet she doesn’t want it to end! She has been tearful about her school year being finished! She has had the best experience I could have hoped for! A wonderfully patient and good teacher! My little gal is starting to read and has a love of books and reading! Amelia has learned so much and had a lot of fun with the process! I’m thrilled with her progress.

In this past week, I attended two end of the year class preformances and a late Mother’s Day lunch with daughter Britt. Britt took me to lunch at a beautiful outdoor Aviary in downtown Chandler. The weather was beautiful and the birds chirped and spoke to all of us while we ate. The food was delicious and the company terrific! Such a nice Mother’s Day lunch out!

Aaron’s performance….

Amelia’s performance…

It was hat day, crazy hair day, PJ day, Hawaiian and Western Day all this past week… 

Zoe finished school this week and I ran a bunch of her friends around to lunch…

Crazy busy but many fun times for all… We are going to squeeze in a vacation to California here soon. A visit to my native state and the ocean is just what I need. Only a five day trip but a welcome change from the desert! Summer is here…kids will be home and oh boy… 

Have a great Sunday!
