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.

Note the big truck that goes by right as I start 😎

Life is good.  Breathe easy if you can.

The Picture with this post is at a rest stop somewhere between Missoula Montana and Coeur D’ Alene, Idaho.  It was one of the few days on my visit that wasn’t crazy smoky.  I hope this little bit of music finds you safe and cool.

I decided to record my version of LET IT BE  while sitting next to my newly dented car.  My poor little car was involved in a little disagreement with another car.  Everyone walked away, so all is well.

If you would like more music, poetry, stories and stuff, check out “my blog” older posts.  Lots of fun stuff.
