I'm sorry.....!

HI All,

I know it's been awhile since I last posted. I have had problems accessing the internet. Anyhow, how is everyone doing? I'm doing okay just still worrying about the money for Colombia.

I've started guitar lessons again this week which is good. Piano is going the same. Voice, the same.

I just found out that June is going to be a big performance month for me. I will be singing for the first time in public at a recital from my vocal school. My first time coming out guys!!!! Additionally, I will be performing at my last classical piano recital. I will be playing Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven and Clair de Lune by Debussy. Additionally, I will be accompanying a beginner piano player on the piano. Additionally, during the same recital, I will be accompanying a couple of beginner piano players but on my guitar! Thus it will be interesting, taxing, nerve wrecking but GOOD! I need this. I volunteered on playing the guitar and accompanying also on the piano. I need to start making my moves. I gotta make this happen.

I will hopefully start jazz and pop style piano the first week of July. And I will start playing more rock/pop style guitar this summer. So things are coming.

Oh HAPPY LATE VALENTINE'S DAY!!! I didn't do much, just had piano class and worked out that nite and I worked during the day. Nothing much.

I have not been working on any songs lately actually. The couple I have started are just sitting there. That’s not good. But I don’t want to force the writing process. It’ll come when it comes. I’ve recorded some of the melodies and they sound pretty good. However, I have one that is so stuck in my ear. I guess that’s a good sign. It’s a rock song about what we are doing right now and how it will affect our future generations. I have a pretty good idea how I want it arranged, I just need to actually do it. I found out the Sibelius program but it costs like $600 for the program and then an additional $200 for the rock/pop program. That’s a lot of money that I don’t have. MONEY MONEY MONEY!!

I found this place in the bar district here that does open jam sessions every Thursday nite so I’m going to start going to that and just get a vibe off it. NO I’m not going to go up there and perform yet!!! However, I just wanna get a feel for it.

I’ve been reading a lot on chords and stuff cuz I feel stuck and not able to create the sound that I want so that is frustrating.

Anyhow, I know this was a boring post especially after a long delay. Sorry but more will come!!!!

My Time To Shine...has to come...it has to.....

Hello All!

How is everyone doing?! I hope well and better than me. I just found out that my hours are going to be cut short from my present job thus putting my money for Colombia in great jeopardy. I am currently working as a contract attorney in DC for this firm in Virginia. This is not good!! I was trying to stay there until the end of July but looks like I'm going to have to reconsider that unless my agency decides to pay the difference for what we are losing. So, I'm really up shit's creek now.

I hate to harp on the bad because I'm trying to get away from it. However, I am getting impatient with my music career. I know I have this voice that's gorgeous, beautiful, serpentine-like, but it's just not coming out. I am so out of control with my voice and to be in control of my voice, I have to lose control but not all of my voice, oddly enough, which is something I am having great difficulty doing.

Lastly, which is adding to my impatience...an old friend of mine, the one who I thought would be there for me when shit hit the fan last year at this exact time is now on a major TV commercial doing a cell phone spot. She's done some other major commercials. It's frustrating. When will it be my turn? No I don't want to do commercials but my time in the spotlight, performing to sold out arenas, MSG, Plaza de las Ventas all for me, when is it going to come. It has to come soon cuz although I get mistaken for a college kid, I know my age will be a factor in the music industry especially since I'm a girl.

The one good thing that has happened this week is that I actually came up with brief melodies for 2 songs. Which is great!

But my time to shine has to come....in the next few years...right...it has to...
