Spring in Ohio is like warm, cool, warm, cold, and so on.
Can you guess which it is today? Flecks of snow earlier! ❄️
Was cold even in the house, so why not work on a new song
with my hood up while in the headphones! 🎧😂

Thought this would be a good day to share 2024
#music
news! 🎶
1st of each month will be a new
#acoustic
song, written about that month along with a simple video!
15th of each month I will be sharing a new video from the Green Room (Re-envisioned) series on YT!
SO, does anyone else highly prefer the original recordings of older songs than the re-mixed or remastered?? I guess if I really liked a song the way I once heard it, those are the elements that drew me in.
I'm usually disappointed and a re-do sounds off to my ears!! 🤔😜🎶
Thank you Kate for the photos used as a base for the new website design and promo shot. You took both pics and I use a photo editor for the special effects!!

and the weather here continues to play along … snow still on the ground in patches that the 50 degree temps yesterday afternoon did not quite melt! But the sun is shining today! We’ll take it! ☀️😊
Good Morning ☀️ somebody was tired! Got in bed at 8 pm to read and unwind (with the fall back time change that would be like 7) and got up at 8:30 am today with the new time! 🙃 Guess I was tired! No wonder it is called a day of rest! Hope you all have a wonderful, restful day!!!

Hard to Breathe (Re-envisioned)
"All I've ever known has slipped me by and I feel alone.
All I've ever shown has left me dry and far from home.
All I've ever felt reminds me ...
it so hard sometimes to breathe."

So I was sitting in a parking lot waiting for a library to open and noticed the pattern of the light snow on the flagstones in a flower bed, then I realized what was in the right upper corner of my field of vision ... can you zoom in? 🤔 Fork in the road? 😲😅

Dear twitter family ~ just wanted to pop on a moment and wish you all a beautiful new year ⭐️ I got news yesterday morning that my mother had passed away so it is a time of mixed emotions for me and I may be quiet for a time, but it is also one of joy & hope for what is to come❣️
So last night I had a

I released a
#NewVideo
last week of one of my favorite songs I ever covered, "Hard To Breathe." Written about lonely, uncertain times in life when it can seem difficult to even breathe. Written by Ben Kesler & Danara Shurch.
Very rare that I get the chance to kick back and just attend a concert, rather than being the one playing🎶
Excited to see the amazing

Here is a 9 minute clip of an instrumental piece, so amazing.
