Hey, that quote looked familiar and then I saw it was my quote! Cool! Thank you! I was anxious when I put that posting out there, but you keep saying “be yourself” and sometimes it is not all happy sunshine and rainbow artmaking, sometimes it is process.

I am currently thinking about Marty’s return to school and happy that I can resume my walking the bike path at least twice a week now (when he is in class). I am also grateful that school is back in session so that Donkey baking orders have increased. And I have five new paintings on the drawing board. My head is kind of full right now.

I can’t wait to check out all this new music. Yay! I’d like to offer up one of my Musical Happy Buttons, complete with an adorable little yellow robot:

Music recommendation! Just one song- A friend gave me a mix with a song by Kurt Elling, “The Waking.” It’s his vocal interpretation of the poem by Theodore Roethke: http://is.gd/375jZ This guy is usually categorized under Jazz, and (shocking admission) I generally don’t like jazz… but this one’s a keeper. Very simple, beautiful vocal arrangement accompanied by a subtle bass line, and it feels true to the intent of the poem but also seems to break it open into something new.

Hi Havi One of my fave tracks of all time, which I think you might like too, is Banderas "This is your life". Another current fave of mine is the Pet Shop Boys "All over the world", from the album "Yes". .-= Jennifer´s last blog ..Link roundup =-.

Hi Havi

I’ve been allowing myself to listen to songs again and again – feels forbidden somehow, like grapes, which were always a ‘treat’…

My favourite at the moment?

A Boy Like That from West Side Story with Marni Nixon and Betty Wand, the original singers from the movie.

For ‘You should know better… you were in love…. or so you said…’ and *that* harmony in the I Have A Love part.

*shivers*

(Sidebar: How did my monther not know I was gay?…)

On my drive home this evening I was getting really into Sing by the Dresden Dolls – enough that I played it again after it finished the first time. I find it powerful and inspiring, plus the end is really fun to improvise harmonies to at top volume!

Since I’ve been thinking about The Heart Of Business and my friend Mark lately, the music I recommend is “Carrot Juice Is Murder” by the Arrogant Worms:

It’s the tender story of a Vegan and his principles.

I’ve been listening to “Wake Up (It’s Africa Calling)” by Youssou N’Dour. It reminds me that Africa is calling, and that I will visit it someday.

I do love my new candy colored dot painting from Barbara. I stare at it when I’m weary of current work and want to remember that it won’t last forever and then I will be doing my right work. :)

Yay for freedom from self-improvement!

I am so thrilled, I ordered all the NIA music as they were all marked down from $15 to $5 – so I bought all of them and saved heaps of money.

I love the NIA music there is something in there for all the moods I’m in and I love it when music speaks to my person within.

One music ritual I’ve loved doing is having a music bath. I put my seriously favourite music of the moment on as loud as I want it to be or as soft as I need it to be and just lie down and let it wash over me.

Lovely!
