Hi All

It’s supposed to be a nice afternoon. I plan to head downtown around noon today. If you find yourself near RiverPark Square, look for me. I’ll be the one with the guitar.

If I need to relocate, I’ll head up to the South hill.

Don’t forget to check out older blogs for more music and stories.

Donations Happily Accepted😀

Morning

The robins are singing

Light, airy

Morning songs

The night crawlers are running in terror

The president is having breakfast

With coffee

The soldiers are freezing in the sand

Waiting to die

The school children are on their way to classrooms

The teenage, junkie hooker

Is on her way to bed

The sun is smiling

Drying the dew

Somewhere in another galaxy

A star is falling

A planet left frozen and dead

I set up kind of randomly in Riverfront Park today. Oh my goodness. It was so pretty and peaceful. I met nice people and promoted my blog. It was such a worthwhile outing.  I am truly grateful for this amazing Fall weather  and that people are liking my music.

I am working on getting my originals recorded and available for public usage. In the mean time here are some links to today’s music.  Remember, this is as live as it gets flaws and all.  Enjoy

If you wonder why I’m smiling so much, this is where I live!

I’m heading out right now determined to find the perfect sunny spot to play and sing for an hour or so. I’m not sure where I’ll land, but i’ll start at River Park Square and if that is a bust, I’ll find a place in the park. Look for me if you are out and about😎

Sometimes joy requires only waking up, looking up and calming down. Peace is already here

Yes, it is getting colder, but you can still find me singing around Spokane on and off.  Tuesday, I sat outside of the Main Market Downtown.  No one seemed to mind, and the people who stopped by were super kind as usual.

My only issue lately is the wind and the cold.  I have to be spontaneous, but if I know for sure I’ll be someplace for a while, I’ll post here or on Facebook. In the mean-time, check out videos on Facebook and  YouTube.

Thanks again to everyone who made summer street music a viable thing for me.  I’ve been having more fun than even I thought I would.

I hope September finds you warm, safe and happy.

More a capella garage music.

This is the short version of a jazz song I wrote when I was much younger chronologically. There is an old lady vibe to this that makes me laugh now.

TOO GOOD

WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR

I KNOW JUST WHAT I’LL SEE

GRAYING HAIR

WRINKLED BROW

TIME GETTIN HOLD OF ME

WHEN I LOOK OUT THE WINDOW

THERE’S NO BIG SURPRISE

THERE’S NO LOVER WAITING WITH MOONLIGHT IN HIS EYE

YOU WANNA CHANGE ALL THAT

AND MEND MY BROKEN HEART

YOU WANNA HOLD MY HAND AND HEAL WHAT’S TORN APART

YOU WANNA SAVE THE DAY

AND TAKE MY HURT AWAY

BUT HOW WILL WE KNOW WHAT I’LL BE

I’M TOO LONELY FOR YOU

AND YOU’RE TOO GOOD FOR ME

IF MY HEART WASNT BROKEN

IT WOULDN’T BE ME

CAUSE ID HAVE NO RAESON TO CRY

OR STAY UP ALL NIGHT LONG

PLAYIN GAMES LIKE SOLITAIRE

AND WANTIN TO DIE

IF MY DREAMS STARTED COMIN TRUE

NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN WHAT WOULD I DO

YOURE TOO GOOD FOR ME BABY

AND I’M TOO LONELY FOR YOU

Dosed by Red Hot Chili Pepper is one of my favorites

i am totally in love with simple, live, real music that is free for the taking. My page is about sharing entertaining content with anyone who wants to experience it. Donations help me do that, but even if you can’t donate (especially if you can’t) dig in. Enjoy!

I couldn’t stay inside again, so I packed up my cares and woes and headed for downtown Spokane with a song in my heart and a heavy sweater on my shoulders. I set up beside a hotdog vender in front of Wells Fargo. Funny, I’m a vegetarian, and I seem to spend a lot of time singing for hotdog lovers.

Oh, well  it’s all groovy.

I played for about an hour and some. It was fun until the security guard from the bank asked me very nicely to move it down the road a bit.
