Hot

Music: kt tungstall
Book: once an angel

Wonderful house concert last night at Parlor Parties hosted by CollectedSounds in Minneapolis. Got to hear Gregory Douglass - spectacular song writer with a beautful voice. Shopping for organic goods earlier in the day I threw out something near my tailbone so I've been lounging in bed with ice packs THE WHOLE DAMN WEEKEND. Its getting better-I think. Made for quite the interesting show. Back up dancers have never been my forte but let's just say I played as still as possible so not to upset my spinal chord - thankfully my roadie husband was along and hefted me and my guitar around with minimal amounts of laughter. Sold some CDs, had some snacks and a lovely Saturday night in Minneapolis. Now if only Pro Floors would come and install my new doors, Mr. Husband and I could move along with putting our house on the market and heading back to Wisconsin. Summer is looking more stressful by the minute - but change is always good. Happy Fathers day to al the dad's out there....

so hot...

Just doing yard work ALL WEEKEND! Ugh. I miss shoveling snow...

muggy and gloomy today

Music: blues
Book: none *gasp*

I really need to hit a book store. Not much literature peaking my interest right now though...Quiet on the home front today.

Baby boy

Music: none
Book: the world is flat

My big sister had another baby boy this morning - Leo David is his name. Hurray for nephew #2. Chadly and I are hitting a couple of open mics in the Twin Cities followed by a house concert in June. So to all you lovely people who have emailed asking for Minneapolis shows - well, here you go. We can't wait to see you there. I have pulled out all of my winter clothes that I packed away in April when it was 70 degrees, but now it's 40 degrees and I can't feel my fingers. So I'm covered head to toe in sweat shirts and flannel. Ahhh Minnesota. More house hunting today with Mr. Husband and practice tomorrow with Chadly. Good weekend, wouldn't you say?

chores

Music: Imogen Heap
Book: the world is flat

Loving Imogen's new CD - great music. I truly believe she is the most visionary musician in todays world of corporate owned record companies. How she maintains her high standard of creativity mixed with commercialism is a complete mystery - but an enjoyable one. She never dissapoints. I'm working on a cd review at the moment to send to collected sounds.com. Stay tuned.

Rainy and fabulous in the twin cities at the moment. Love it. No golf this weekend but I can catch up on laundry and chores - the exciting life of a rockstar. I'm exploring some twin cities shows in answer to the posts and emails I've received about having a show in the area. I'm working on it - I promise.

Revisiting Pemberley

Music: none
Book: Elizabeth & Darcy

Only Jane Austen fans will have a clue what I'm writing about. Stormy and dark in the Twin Cities right now and Mr. Husband and I will waste away the weekend looking over floor plans of home as we contemplate building. Quite an endeavor though. I have been receiving so many lovely emails from new music lovers who have been kind enough to share with me how much they are enjoying Mulligan. *sniffle* It just brings a tear to my eye... I'm recording a live CD in late summer and hopefully will have it out in stores by Christmas. Off to Starbucks....

Long time.."

Music: REM
Book: Elizabeth & Darcy

I've been travelling and reading and writing. Yes I have been lax in my journal updates but golf and cleaning and music - I guess you could call it - LIFE - has gotten in the way of working. Go figure. Chadly and I are looking into some area gigs with almost ZERO travel time. The city of Minneapolis is getting me down lately....hard to get an answer from your city council member as a homeowner. Working through it...
