Mind the Memories... Love is Friendship, Found ......

About Me

Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist/Poet/Computer Artist and Purchasing Assistant who's working hard from home at the Purchasing Assistant gig so she can Sing and Songwrite and play her Guitar and write Poetry and play on her computer drawing Art! I am a founding member of the recently formed Tullahoma Songwriter's Circle, which for any songwriter's out there interested, we hold a writer's nite, open mike type session every TUESDAY evening at the Sweet Aroma Cafe on Wilson Avenue in Tullahoma, TN from 6-8 pm. The motto at the Circle? You're always welcome 'round here! :)Since I started my page quite by accident, and didn't realize there were 2 different kinds of pages, this is not an artist's page, so my own music is not listed. To get a listen to me, you'll need to visit my personal website (www.kathymartinmusic.com). I thought this was a great way to find new (at least to me) talent, and by adding their music to my page, a way to let other people listen to great music too! So I try to change the song on my page every once in a while to reflect any new and exciting sounds I've encountered while making friends on this space... Hope you'll enjoy as much as I do! :)

My Interests

Singing, Writing, Poetry... going to the movies... walking through an art gallery... getting to go to the beach... being able to sit quietly at the lake and watch the ducks swim by... Who am I kidding? I work so much, I don't have that kind of time! I'd be interested in getting time off to do things like that! :)Rate my poem, Go here

I'd like to meet:

Other singers or songwriters or poets. Also anyone named Kathy Martin. Per the suggestion of another Kathy Martin, I've taken to collecting hits on the world wide web for "Kathy Martin", starting a page on my website. So far, I've hit 60 and I'm still counting! It would be great to see how many of us there really are out there! My dream would be to reach 150, contact Dave Letterman, get all of us together and be his studio audience. Then when he asks, "Anyone here in the audience tonight named Kathy Martin?" we could all stand up!!!! It would be a "Just Kathy Martin" night, to go with his "Just Lamps" and "Just Shades" segments!!! We'd definitely make a "Best Of" show, don't ya think?


Music:

Love it! Biggest influences and favorite artists: Bonnie Raitt, Linda Rondstadt, Billie Holiday, Billy Joel, Glen Campbell, Barbra Streisand, Beatles, Monkees, John Denver, Eagles, Karla Bonoff, Ray Charles, Janis Ian, Brandywine, CSNY, John Prine, Lisa Loeb, Rickie Lee Jones, Smokey Robinson, Melissa Ethridge, Patsy Cline, Eva Cassidy, KT Tunstall, Diana Jones, Nancy Moran... just to name a few... :)

Movies:

Love them! All of 'em... except for anything gorey and maybe "The Great Gatsby"... sorry Robert R., much as I love ya, I thought it dragged....

Television:

Love that too, but NOT reality TV -- those shows annoy me! The only reality I can watch are design shows like Trading Spaces or Design on a Dime, but even those get on my nerves... I just like the before and after!!! My favorites are the CSI shows, Numb3rs, Criminal Minds and now The Closer. Kyra Sedgwick rocks!

Books:

I do enjoy reading, but my very favorite books are those by Nora Roberts, especially her series as J. D. Robb -- the "in Death" books. I hope she'll be continuing the saga of Eve Dallas and Roarke. I'm hooked! And of course I'm a Harry Potter maniac! I was in line at the stroke of midnight to be one of the first to get the last book so I could have the complete set! :)

Heroes:

My Mom, who is a 2-time cancer survivor, my Dad, who survived it along with her... they've been married as of this year for 55 years; my sister, who's favorite saying is "How hard can it be?" and survived her cancer surgery and recovery ordeal; and my friend, Henry Slevin, who has dedicated his life to helping those who are in need. Four stellar people who it's a privilege to look up to! And of course all our brave men and women who are serving their country right now. I keep them in my prayers every day, and hope the time will be soon when they can all come home!

Always Welcome ’Round Here! :)

Just a little UPDATE on the Tullahoma Songwriter's Circle to let you know that we've been going on now for almost 9 months, and we've met well over the 45 songwriters that have joined our ranks so far...

Tullahoma Songwriter's Circle...

I thought songwriters would be all over the place, close as we are here to Nashville.  So far, we've had some visits from a few songwriters, but not as many as I thought... so for anyone in the T...
