Pocketful of Words
It’s a rainy Saturday morning in March. Perfect weather for working on a new song … unless of course, you have a strange obsession with fonts. Rod came home the other day and said, “have you heard of this Google Fonts thing? Apparently its . . . (trailing off)” I didn’t hear anything after “fonts” – I was already typing “google fonts” into my search window. Michigan Radio’s Saturday morning programming is keeping me entertained while I figure this font thing out. Will get back to work on the song after “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” is over. (Note: if you’re looking at this website in IE, you won’t see the cool new fonts. Don’t know why, yet).
Now about that video!
We spent an off night at the Trinity House Theatre with my nephew, Andy, behind a really nice camera while we played a few songs. Got our hands on new video editing software and voila! We’re excited to share a couple of the initial practice results. Looking forward to sharing more in the near future!
I Heart Love
“Love is all you need”, “Love makes the world go round” and yes, “Love hurts”
It’s quite possible that you’ll hear a love song or two at the 8th annual My Folky Valentine show, like you would at most any concert you attend. HOWEVER, this concert is not just for lovers. We celebrate the couples on stage – the way their love of music brought them together and the way their love of each other infuses itself into their music. But you don’t have to be a couple to appreciate what is always a magical time. Visit the calendar page for all the details.
The rest of the month you’ll find us on the road traveling through southern Indiana and southern Illinois then on to Tennessee. For those of you bound to southern Michigan, there is much going on. Two things of note are The Ark’s Annual Storytelling Festival (Feb 18/19) where the lovely Allison Downey will be performing; and our pal Dave Boutette will be guest-hosting Empty Chair Night at the Trinity House on Feb 19th.
Now, about this LOVE thing…
Feeling Good
“It either makes you feel good or it don’t. It all comes down to that.” she said.
She was talking about music. Jazz specifically. But in general, how some ‘critics’ can be so judgmental and opinionated, becoming rather belligerent when one disagrees with their opinion. Continue reading
