Sunday Singalong: A She & Him Cover
This was a super busy week for me! Between getting back on track after my trip to Atlanta, the holiday, and two big performances, I barely had time to breathe -- let alone record a "Sunday Singalong" video :( But as I was downloading some video from last night's gig,...
Friday Fave: Not-So-Black Friday
Last year, my friend Katie and I ventured out at 4 a.m. on the day after Thanksgiving to participate in the absolute chaos that is Black Friday. I do have to admit that we had fun, and I did score some great deals on items for my studio, but I am not sad to have...
So Much To Be Thankful For
Last night as I stood in front of a huge crowd of family, friends and strangers, doing one of the things I love most -- singing and playing my heart out -- I was reminded of just how much I have to be thankful for. Not everyone is lucky enough to do what they love...
iTunes Match: Music in the Cloud
As I type this blog post, iTunes is currently uploading my music library into the cloud. Actually, it's uploading the songs that aren't available in the iTunes store -- about half of my 8,741 song collection. With that much music in my library, it's always been a...

Sunday Singalong: The Sneezy Scarecrow

Up, Up and Away!
As I type this, I'm sitting in the airport waiting to board my plane to Atlanta. #AMTA11, baby! (That's the American Music Therapy Association's national conference, for those of you non-music therapists). I already wrote about the things I'll be doing while in...
Is It Too Soon for Holiday Music?
No, not at all? Okay, great...glad we got that settled! At least, that's my opinion. I consider November 1st to be the day on which I can officially start listening to holiday music without getting funny looks from my husband. Now that we've just about reached the...
Sunday Singalong: Ten Little Turkeys
The other day while singing this song during a music therapy session, I completely blanked out when it came to singing about that 7th little turkey...oops! Isn't it funny how the brain can fail you like that, even after singing a song year after year? Luckily I...
