It's painful to rehash the story, but I think its one that should be told. 8 Young people, musicians and artists among them, lost their lives in a fire in New Orleans last week. If you would like to know more about what happened, or have information you think I should add, please see this page: http...

Last week a horrible warehouse fire claimed the lives of eight young people, ranging in age from 17 to 30. They died of carbon monoxide poisoning in one of the worst fires New Orleans has seen in some time. Among them were buskers, artists and street performers. The warehouse was sometimes used as a...

Today I found some really cool interviews, pictures, and other stuff about Tori Amos. I decided to play around and put together a tribute page. You can see it here if you like :-) : http://www.squidoo.com/tori-amos .

I'm working on putting together a number of pages about artists I think are amazing, and found some great video to add to the one I'm making about a local New Orleans musician I love- Coco Robicheaux. Take a look at how it's coming here: http://www.squidoo.com/new-orleans-blues-legend-coco-robicheau...

I love when a musical moment just happens, like now, when I walked in and my room mate was playing this on You Tube. :)

I. Different everyday things can sometimes have interesting metaphorical meanings that feel somehow natural as inspiring for songwriting. One thing that has always evoked interesting creative thought for me is the experience of traveling. You set out towards a destination, and move towards various...

This is fun. I do a lot of research on line, which frequently involves lot's of searches. Last month I joined Swagbucks and started doing my searches through their toolbar.

I had a really fun musical moment a few days ago. You know, it's really great to just sit down and play, especially if you have a few minutes to play all by yourself with no one listening. It's usually during those moments that you find some little inspiration and dare to explore it. I haven't gotte...

I was looking for a few good songs to listen to this afternoon while I was cleaning houe. "Cells" by the Servant had been in my head, along with "Gamemaster" by Lost Tribe, and some other electronic and trance club music. I managed to find a great EP with good versions of Game Master on Amazon, whic...

I was excited tonight, when I realized that I could get Coco on Amazon. Coco Robicheaux is a genuine New Orleans Legend. His music embodies the spirit of the blues that is so rich there, you can taste the sound almost as much as listen to it. I was missing New Orleans, and remembering a performance ...

I was going through some things online today and found this picture. This People International rehearsal had to be six or seven years ago.

This interview is amazing. Leonard speaks at length about music and about philosophies on life. It was moving, and only made me feel even more that I'd love to have a long conversation and cups of coffee with this amazing songwriter I share a birthday with. He handles difficult questions with grace,...

This made me laugh, so hard. It's a perfect example of "using your songwriting powers for evil" ;-)~ Not only is it a really cute and funny music video, but some of the lines were just brilliant.
