I can feel fall's crisp air mixed in with the lingering summer breeze...Seasons change...


It's time to get out and play!


We've found a nice venue to play regularly at!  The boys band that is recording here is setting up  to play


there on the 17th, Friday.. "Red Crow Cafe" , and asked me if I would do a guest appearance..solo, you know, 


So I am looking forward to getting back out with the people.


Meanwhile looking forward to the finishing of Vol. 2 of our latest cd. 


I am also getting all the garden goodness in, and wood for the wood-stove, so we can create some 


new, beautiful music!!


May you have a wonderful day!


Rachel.........for the band

The sky is clean once again and I am busy working on many things.....


I went to  a local small town and stopped at a really cute little sandwich place. Great food, the guy has made a beautiful stage with a new sound board...ect... He is eager for gigs...so I am eager to play and have exchanged info with him...!! 


With the band or solo, I am looking forward to playing there. I will wear my glittery dresses and go!!


Looking forward to this outlet to sing...


I have been stocking the freezer with organic veggies...grown by me!! Lovin the fresh produce!


Well , better get back at it! 


Through all the pain that life brings....we can overcome and find our place...


Looking to the beauty not the pain, is wise....


Looking to hope, not to despair, letting go of our bitter weeds, growing flowers , instead.....

It is really interesting to learn new info. 


I have been enjoying the interaction with these talented guys.!!


After we get our cd finished, we plan on spending more time marketing it!!! 


I am learning the value of enjoying every day for itself, learning to always be grateful, learning how to love.


Love is a powerful thing.


Have a wonderful day, as we keep on, keepin on!!

Never able to still oneself into calm. You cannot help but long for the music to go on. To create and visit it always. Like they say, a jealous mistress, or an untamable beast, one cannot let it go. Sometimes it is torcherous to be an artist . Needing always to create and why do we want so much to share our work with others??? It is our nature I guess, to paint the world, so to speak, with art.


Have a beautiful day. 


May you live your passion, 


Rachel.........for the band

I am sitting here on a beautiful sunny day , drinking green tea, and thinking about you. True. 


The band has been everywhere but here lately. We are taking a break after working so hard to create this next beautiful CD. 


So I have been gardening, weeding, cooking new foods, painting,  and getting a pottery studio made.


We know we need to update the website, soon.


 Some times life's ebe and flow takes us to heights and then to quiet uneventful moments where we can think and know we are most hopeful.


With the wind chimes blowing in the wind , I wish you a wonderful day.


For this still moment....


Rachel

Beautifully sunny days lately. I have a big garden growing and have been munching away!!  I work hard to have time to pull out the guitar and play...music brings me the most joy in life.


Well we just got our cd mastering back from Abbey Road. We will listen to it today and critic the sound quality. 


Putting life to melody...one song at a time!!


I hope your part of the world is well and that I can sing to you a song of love.


For now..

He coaches with another fellow, who is older and in his 60's. The other fellow is from London like Phil...


The other fellow was in Liverpool playing soccer when three young,  gents came walking across the field. They asked if they could play a bit ...they did and wern't very good at it... Good thing they went into music, after all, as the three fellows,  were Paul, John and George....


True ...:-)


Well best be getting on with this day!!!!!!


Making melodies...

I had an interview done the other day. I thought it would all be good, talking about the music, how it is being used in the world...how we love to make it....ect... and when I read the article it was about me....personal things that I didn't remember telling him.....I was stunned. I didn't expect it. I was hurt, felt vulnerable...


I really didn't expect that...


I guess it's a good lesson to learn, and not to take oneself too seriously as weather in a day easily changes.....It's the music that lives on!! Heh.


It is a beautiful sunny day today and I am going to enjoy the weather!!!!


Hope you are having a good day and if not remember the weather changes...


Rachel
