You Have To Listen To

I Guess The Biggest Thing Is That I Committed To A Spiritual Center Before I Do Anything Else. And I Put Some Daily Things In My Life Into Practice And I Maintain That, To Make Sure That I Don't Drop The Ball.

There Is A String Attached To Maia Sharp's Voice. And When She Sings, You Find That The Other End Is Attached To Your Gut. Her Voice Is Lush And Sensual And The Emotions She Articulates Resonate With The Small Feelings We Have That Sometimes Are Hard To Face..there Is An Edge To Her Songs, But Also A Softness...she Is Lyrical And Conversational At The Same Time. Her Cd Was The Only One In My Machine For A Month. Her Work Inspires Me To Dig Deeper.

Or If I Have My Head In The Results, I Can't Work With What I Have, Because I'm Trying To Force Something To Happen. And With Singing, Any Time You Force It, You Tighten Up. If You Tighten Up, You're Screwed, Nothing Will Work.

You Have To Write Badly To Write At All. If It's Crappy, I Will Rewrite It Later. But It Will Be Mine. You Can Hear The Resonance Of An Artist Who Goes Into Herself.

Sally Barris Has A Voice Like Sparkling Crystal. You Could Have Knocked Me Over With A Feather The First Time I Heard Her. Her Writing Is From A Deep, Yet Innocent, Place And Her Point Of View Is Just A Bit Off Center. I Am Excited For Her, She Is Standing At The Beginning Of Her Journey In This Town, With All Of It Ahead Of Her. It Reminds Me Of The First Time I Heard Beth Nielson-chapman Or Nanci Griffith. It's Going To Be Fun To Watch.
