I will be whipping up more quips and strips of statements that strike me…
…right now I’m delving into a writing from 2009 in light of the recent events in North Carolina. I want to send out a positive thought to those with an open-mind to KEEP an open-mind on those that may be a little less open-minded…remaining negatively invested will lead only to continued hate and bigotry. Please, if you will, keep your mind as open as it can be.
Don’t Sell Yourself Short.
For the immovable objects with the idea
That anything forcible will change you.
For the unstoppable forces willing to explode
With the theory of the Big Bang inside them.
Everything has been and everything will be
Our job is not in the moving but the keeping…
Watch the holding pattern of the sky
And only let go when need be.
A lesson for all to see
Don’t sell yourself short for anyone or anything
Be a taker. And then a maker…you’re creating
Give them something that will have them look forward
It’s in the cause and effect.
And remember it was never our creation to begin with.

Here we are, the second to last song on the road to Key West. This was something special to create because Stefan and I recorded this song on a whim and on one take without any special effects to enhance the magic that naturally is between us. This is Stefan and myself covering Train Song…with one more song to go on the mix.
[Track 16 on my mix made for the Keys, “First Sight of My Heart.”

Coming shortly to a close on the mix made for the Keys with 3 more songs left, Rodrigo y Gabriela give a new voice to the sounds of the guitar. Perfect for sun, sand, and beach, this is “11:11.”

If you hadn’t heard or seen this band do it’s cover of Goyte, then now’s the time. At over 9 MILLION views, Walk Off the Earth has gone viral with the song “Somebody I Use to Know.” Though it may have been tracked before videoing, it’s hard not to love their take on this song, all scrunched together on one guitar delivering a very emotive tone in it’s own right. Coming down the home stretch on my mix made for the Keys…

Getting close to the end now…5 more songs to go. This one is worthy of checking out the video, The Shins - “Simple Song.” Sometimes it takes something “simple” and what seemingly is an homage to the Royal Tenenbaums (which I love!) to say what you’ve done. Key West was fracking awesome and a departure from things that have been done…”like an ocean made warm by the sun.”

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]This track has had 16 playsRat Trap by One Hundred FlowersLove the heart. Love the flowers. Another band I picked up from @Daytrotter…One Hundred Flowers with “Rat Trap.” It’s simple. It’s symphonic. It’s groovy. It’s good to take a listen… heading to Mile post Zero
[Track 12 on “First Sight Of My Heart,” a Key West mix]

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]This track has had 35 playsLove Interruption by Jack WhiteDown the road (and very far out) is Jack White’s latest single and dynamic duet with “Love Interruption.” Who says love can’t interfere to one’s detriment, but also to someone’s advantage. This song showcases all of that.

Hey yeah it is Good Friday!! and following behind Jason Mraz’s inspirational song is another BIG name, Rihanna, with her song that says it all… “We found love in a hopeless place!” And that is exactly where I found it… EVERYTHING I was looking. I’m a lucky girl to have Stefan (who’s Birthday is TODAY!!) in my life, now nestled on a little lane called Hopeland.
More coming from us out of Hopeland Studios!
[Track 10 on “First Sight of My Heart]

I have been listening to this guy since his first album, Curbside Prophet. Jason Mraz doesn’t let down with his latest single, “I Won’t Give Up,” just released. Be prepared to be inspired with words that let us know there are no limits while I continue with the mix made for Key West, because “God knows we’re tough enough. We’ve got a lot to learn. God knows we’re worth it.”

Appreciate all the recent follows!! Thank you :) Hope you’re enjoying the music being shared from the artists in my queue.
Also looking forward to sharing some new demos out of Hopeland Studios from myself as well as other artists I am currently pulling together from the greater NoVA area.
Not to mention the 48 Hr Film Project I’ll be involved with this year… more to come from that project. :)
So keep following and feel free to ask questions or offer up any artists you think I might like. Always love.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]This track has had 20 playsA Sucker for Your Marketing/Vulnerable by Sarah JaffeNow we’re digging down deep with Sarah Jaffe’s two-for-oner from a live Daytrotter-session with “A Sucker For Your Marketing/Vulnerable.” Can’t go wrong playing this at least once if not twice daily for the rest of your natural-born life. The strong bass line on this is like hearing that heartbeat pounding down the road to mile marker ZERO! Phenomenal.
