I am the mother of two amazing, wonderful daughters and that is my foremost devotion, along with being a wife and my novel writing career. But I also have a LONG list of hobbies, which includes song writing, singing and learning to play guitar.., among many other hobbies ( see albums :)
My music... well, i am re-teaching myself to play the guitar with the help of Estebans 10 CD 220 lesson set. I also bought his Duende classical guitar which i LOVE (see blog). I'm really having alot of fun getting reaquainted with the ol' six string :) I love it like no other instrument ! Also, I now sing as a hobby in my garage/home music studio... I have always sung along with the radio (who doesn't), but only recently got a microphone and some equipment due to some pretty cool circumstances (see blog). So, while I was planning on getting back into guitar playing, I had not planned for the singing part.., but I guess it was planned FOR me :) Well, I had this new, FREE equipment that had so awesomely landed in my lap and so I playfully experimented and much to my surprise, I discovered i have a nice voice and that I really enjoy singing. I love expressing myself in many different, creative ways.... I am a woman of many talents and hobbies, so this is just one more I have added to my ever growing list... as well as song writing :) Yes I write my own songs too and I love it. Such a beautiful way to express myself ♥ The songs just seem to flow so easily for me, a natural talent. Every time I turn around it seems a new one finds it's way into my thoughts... I have written quite a few original songs so far (see count below as it is always changing) and have no plans to stop. So, as you can see, lots of new stuff goin' on here :) Even my two daughters get involved sometimes too. At 5 and 6 they already come up with and write poetry on their own (ya know i save them all :) We even wrote one song together so far (hear it in blog) and I am sure we will write many more as they so enjoyed every bit of that one. Truly just runs in the family ... beauty, brains, talent and big, loving hearts to make the whole package even more priceless :)
My goals...where music is concerned, my goal was to write enough songs for at least one album... but now I am leaving that limit behind because music has no limits, just as I have no limits. I will just keep going and who knows how many I will write and perform :) I want to write, sing and record all of my songs, for my own enjoyment but also as a great keepsake for my daughters and family and friends. An original album, a little piece of me immortalized for them...along with all the other treasures I have created :) I have even thought of doing an album with just the songs my girls help me write and sing. A Rush girl trio album ♥
What I am working on now... right now I am working with the guitar lessons, practicing the vocal for my songs, writing new songs as they come to me and going back and perfecting the songs I have already written, making sure that they are JUST how i want them before I file for the copyrights to each of them (still waiting for copyright papers too). Once I have filed for the copyrights I will record them by digital recorder in my home studio here and post them in a blog for my family and friends to hear as well as burn them onto CDs for all who want one :) I can't wait ! I am also working on drawing my own album cover as well. So it will be a beautiful little CD package full of me :) my words, my voice, my guitar, my art and my picture on the back... all me and all ORIGINAL :) You can check my photo albums here for new uploads as far as sketches,.. i am still playing around with the album design. My fav, so far, is below for my "travelin' gypsy" album that I am currently working on, but is subject to change...., like i said, still playing around with the design.
Read the latest updates and more about me in my blogs and albums. My blogs have all of my latest music updates and recordings, all things music related. My photo albums are the more personal "blog"... kind of my photgraphic journal where you can get to know me on a deeper note :)
