About Me

I'm so happy to finally have some of my original songs available to listen to online. I am currently independently working on an original project of which these songs will be a part. The first song, "Not Lovin' You" was recorded last year with producer Gary Bosko. I wrote the song about a woman who has been dating a man who seems to think very highly of himself, and this is her response to his "attitude. It features Dan Warner on guitar, Jason Rosner on bass and Jason Furman on drums. The next song "Miss Oklahoma" was recorded by my friend, RJ Ronquillo, who also played acoustic guitar. I had wanted to write a song about how young women in our society are made to feel that they have to be perfect in every way, but especially looks, in order to get ahead or even to be accepted. The third song, "Diamond Ring" was also recorded and played by RJ Ronquillo. I am currently in the studio recording full versions of all these songs and another called "Coming back For More". I sing in a cover band here in south florida and in a band that does weddings. that's my job. Hopefully, one day, writing music and singing my own songs will be my job! Until then, hope you enjoy my music.

"In the circle of light on the stage in the midst of darkness, you have the sensation of being entirely alone... this is called solitude in public... During a performance, before an audience of thousands, you can always enclose yourself in this circle, like a snail in its shell... You can carry it wherever you go." - Constantin Stanislavski

Band Members: St. Pete Times, 10/01/06 The talent trapCan Carrie Furman be a star if all she has is the best voice you've ever heard?By SEAN DALY Published October 1, 2006HOLLYWOOD, Fla.In a dark, ritzy jazz joint, Lady Marmalade is being strangled.The saucy LaBelle hit is proving too much for a pretty blond singer with more teeth than talent. So before she gets to the song's octave-spanning climax, she leaps off the stage and into the crowd, looking for a friend.She stops at a small candlelit table and thrusts her microphone at a young woman who is just finishing her chocolate dessert. With knife and fork still in hand, the ambushed diner swallows her food and her surprise, rolls her blue eyes and leans into the mike. A spotlight illuminates her full face as she unloads a thunderous, blues-dripped roar - "CREOLE LADY MARMALAAADE!" - featuring a note that is not just held but rocket-launched into the night.Jaws drop. Applause swells. The blond singer scampers back to the stage, grinning.And with a comical air of nonchalance, Carrie Furman resumes eating her dessert as all too familiar whispers echo around her: Who is that girl?Read the entire article at http://www.sptimes.com/2006/10/01/Floridian/The_talent_trap. shtml
Influences: Wynona Judd, Bonnie Raitt, Kasey Chambers, Alison Moorer, Gretchen Wilson with a little etta james thrown in there... I've recently been listening a lot to Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Miranda Lambert and Gretchen Wilson.
Sounds Like: I'd love to be able to say "like nothing else"... But, there's only so many chords and so many notes and so many words that can be strung together to create music. I try to be as original as possible with my songwriting, but if you think you hear some of my influences in there, it's because they've "influenced" me... ;) I love country and I love blues. I think my songs are a lot of country with a little blues thrown in there.

False Alarm

Thought I was in labor last night. I had really bad cramps which started in my upper thighs and progressed to my back. And some sort of strange, umm, leakage. But everything is back to normal. Well, a...

some things make me crazy

Ok, I am not perfect... but there are some things that just make me nuts! If a word has an apostrophe, it is taking the place of a missing letter. For instance- "we're" is "we are".  Not "were" a...

tornado alley

Dammit, I'm getting a little tired of running to the only "fully enclosed" room in the house (the bathroom) every time the tornado siren goes off... especially when it's dark out and I'm in my pajamas...

7 weeks to go!

Is it possible that days can go slowly but weeks can go fast? I'm just waiting less than patiently for her to be here... As the actual birth gets closer I am getting nervous, of course, about the imp...
