Rolling in the Deep..

Ave Maria

I might as well explain the story so you can fully appreciate this new song of mine. I’m not usually one to write country-sounding tunes, however, the nature of this one lent itself to that…

There is this wonderful person I know who just really appreciate Jack Daniels. She has joked off and on about her relationship with Jack. So the last time we were hanging out and I witnessed first hand this steamy little love affair between her and Jack I jokingly told her I was going to turn it into a song.

Well low and behold, it happened! Below are the lyrics…let me know what you think! Thumbs up? or Thumbs down?! You be the judge…

“Jack”

well I’m a sweet little lady, I work my 9-5.
I’ve never been to jail and I sure don’t drink and drive
my friends say I’m a planner, sad to say it’s true
but when a get home and someones there, I do things most girls don’t do..

chorus: So give me my Jack back–I cannot tell a lie
I belong to him and he is mine all night
so give me my Jack back–it’s a sweet little love affair
Mark, Even, Elija and Jim won’t do but Jack he’s always there!

I’ve seen my fair share of men and they’ve all let me down
but Jack he’s always faithful, always up for another round
he makes me laugh, he makes me sing, he sure can make dance
well Jack and I have a satisfying steamy little romance

Bridge
I don’t understand why my friends try to intervene
they just don’t understand what Jack he means to me
what is AA anyway, I think they’re makin it up
cause Jack and I go way back, so we ain’t breakin’ up!

I recently got back from a Cruise to Jamaica and the Grand Cayman Islands and helllllooooo beauty! Wow, there is something about the ocean that just brings you back to who you are…all of that being said, I’ll post some pictures on here soon for you to see! I got to sing a few tunes on the Ship as well–few things beat a lovely baby grand piano~! mmmhmm!

Last thing to share–mark your calendars for the weekend of St. Patty’s day. Got shows in Cincinnati and they are going to be FUN stuff!

Talk to you soon~

A few months ago I went to Haiti to sing for some stuff and to help out in one of the orphanages there. I came back changed. My heart went out to these precious people; especially the little ones in the orphanages, the poor people in the villages. Because of this experience, several of us have joined forced to put together a Benefit Concert for Mission Haiti.

Kevin Heider (http://kevinheider.com/wordpress/), Brian Kissenger (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/kissinger) and I have been working hard to put together an amazing show you for guys on Sat. Jan. 28th at 7:30pm in Washington, DC.

Go to my ‘shows’ link for more information and to buy Tickets. All proceeds go to Mission Haiti. You can also go directly to the site to buy tickets here: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/2702753007

Even if you can’t come, if you know people in the area please share this with them! Heck, buy a ticket anyway, since the proceeds will go to the lovely people of Haiti!

Thanks so much guys!!!

I wanted to tell you about a few things that are adding to my excitement for the new year: I BOUGHT A NEW KEYBOARD! That’s right. The one I have, a sweet Yamama has served me well, but it is ever soo HUGE and HEAVY to the point that I can’t hardly put it in my car without help, or set it up without help. This new one (well, new to me…bought it on Ebay!) is RED and a Nord. Has fabulous keys and B3 sounds. Needless to say I can’t wait to use it!

Also, Jan. 28, (Everyone mark your calenders!) in Washington DC I”ll be playing a benefit concert with a few other artists where all of our proceeds will go to helping Mission Haiti (http://www.mwts.org/missionhaiti/Home/Home.html) I’ll be posting details about it on here very soon! So keep your eyes open.

3rdly, the game plan this year is to Release a 5 or 6 song EP…You have all been asking when can you get my music on Itunes, or CD so you will be excited to know that also is in the works. I’ll try hard to keep you all abreast of what’s going on in my music world!

And Lastly, if you would like music for a show, house show, a wedding, a festival,a dinner party, you name it, I would love to play! So email me if you have questions or to book me! I look forward to hearing from you!

I also look forward to meeting more of you this upcoming year!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012~!!!!
