It's new music Friday!!

I'm stepping back to my songwriter roots with a classic from Fiona Apple.

No AI was used in the production of this video.
No pitch correction was used in the production of this video.
No page turner was used in the production of this video. 🤣
No sampling, beats, or synthetic instruments were used in the production of this video.
This is 100% real music, flaws and all, in a single take.

Sometimes music is just about having fun, and not about perfection. This was not a take I was planning to post, but my husband urged me to do it. He always said I was a straight man comic. Feel free to laugh. It's good for the soul.

This is your friendly reminder to never take yourself too serious. Go out and do something you love this weekend, regardless of whether you do it perfectly ❤️

It's New Music Friday!

Let's talk about imperfection, because there is no such thing as perfect.

Yet, we live in a world where we are being forced into believe perfection exists.

LinkedIn prompts me to rewrite a post with AI. Because AI will make it perfect.

The music industry can compress and enhance a vocalist's voice so it's pitch perfect. Mine, in this video, is not.

Today, I humbly present to you my perfectly, imperfect version of Evergreen that was sung by, the close to perfect, Barbra Streisand.

I chose to learn this song because I'm fascinated with the songwriting of the 1970's. IMHO, one of the greatest decades to the songwriting craft. Moving baselines against the chordal structure enhances the tonality...and makes the playing and singing simultaneously that much harder.

Sometimes you have to embrace a little imperfection. I'm no Barbra, but I hope you enjoy my perfectly, imperfect take.

My musicals tribute continues with my singer-songwriter rendition of Evergreen from A Star is Born. IMHO, the greatest of the all the versions of this movie....

It's new music Friday!!

I know my legion of fans couldn't sleep last night waiting for a washed up dreamer to post music to the World Wide Web. 🤣

Continuing the musicals theme with my singer-songerwriter version of Easy To Be Hard from Hair. One of my favorite all-time musicals.

When the film version was released in the late 1970's, my parents took my sister and me to see it in the . I was about 10 at the time. My parents should have checked the rating and content as the quantity of questions coming from my sister and me on the ride home was comical.

I hope you enjoy it!

PS. Thanks for all the views last week. 😊

A few years ago I started a channel called Cover Girls. Then menopause hit and I lost my voice. It was incredibly devastating to lose something that was ingrained in my existence. For the last several months, I've been rehabilitating my voice back. And while it will never be what it was, I am focusing on owning what it's become.

I'm excited to share a new iteration of Cover Girls solely focused on musicals. This transition has been inspired by my good friend and collaborator, Ivey. Together we've been writing a new musical. To get ready for the music writing, I've been studying some of my favorite musical songs.

With no further ado...It's new music Friday!

It's new music Friday and I have a new video to share. Last summer I saw the musical KIMBERLY AKIMBO on Broadway. I loved everything about this show. The mus...
