Timing Is Everything
Timing Is Everything
Phrases becomes cliches for a reason. Whilst overused and not terribly interesting in conversation, they are, most often, spot on! Let's take a look at the very popular saying, "It's all about timing", for instance.
I recorded a song called 'All Mine' half a decade ago at Studio Litho in Seattle, with some fabulously talented musicians - Brian Boland, Tim Kennedy, and Dave Krusen. I chased the recordings to L.A. when a drunken ex-producer sent them to the assistant engineer - after being fired for ridiculous incompetence - and stayed there until we had a sub-mix worth listening to.
I pitched this song to publishers, artist's managers, labels, etc. but with no luck. Industry was kind and said things like, "I don't know where it fits", and, "nice track but I wouldn't know how to sell it"... so I never released it.
Always one to follow the sounds of the airways - digital, terrestrial, t.v. and film soundtracks, I decided now was a good time to revisit this song. I pulled it out of the 'unreleased' file in January and remixed and mastered it here at Bedrock Recording Studio. I passed it around and in less than a week I had three hits from sub-publishers and a music supervisor. Now it's in the hands of some lovely folks who believe they know just where to put it... and now so do I!
I'm releasing it next week to radio, media, and you! I do hope you enjoy it. I love it more now than ever before! COMING NEXT WEEK - 'All Mine', from the upcoming compilation of 'previously unreleased gems', 'Not Your Nanna's Country'.
Kevin Borich - An Intimate Gathering
Was so very pleased to have been invited to Piece Of Me's party where beautiful owner, Melissa Borich, had her incredibly talented Rock Star husband, Kevin, play for our exclusive little group. Kevin is a wonderful musician and great writer and it was an absolute pleasure for Neal and I to see him play in such an intimate setting. Thanks Borich Beauties! xx
The Generation One Roadshow
"Andrew was not asking for their money, but, simply, a commitment to lead by example."
Generation One's, Andrew Forrest
The Dichotomy of Andrew Forrest is, indeed, intriguing. Fabulously
loved by one group of people, and in a moment toppled from the
graces of 'the others' to be the whipping post of the moment. Big
business... you can Keep it!
Smart, funny, generous and kind. A good sport - even as I,
unintentionally, interrupted his walk into a media scrum, filmed by the
networks and out to the nation within hours via ABC News!
AF: "Hey ..."
CL: "Hey Farm Boy. Looks like you are a big deal in these here parts..."
We are all smiles on the t.v. that night.
I adore country boys. Real.

In Perth, Andrew's wife, Nicola, was beautiful and kindly as she and
Andrew held breakfast for a large audience of corporate and community
leaders - those who could assist the project in changing the minds and
practices of business owners, and aboriginal communities, throughout
Australia. Andrew was not asking for their financial support, but, simply,
a commitment to Lead by Example.
This is a man to watch in the global, philanthropic community. Now that
he has started, there is no stopping him. GenerationOne will do what it
sets out to with the support from Australians who care to move forward.
There is no doubt in my mind this man can move his countryman to a
change that will benefit all.
re: Main Picture - I LOVE that I got this shot. He seems to BE just as he looks here.....
relaxed AND stately. Again with the dichotomy...

The Month After Christmas
I lost 5lbs over Christmas...ahhh the one sweet effect of Divorce hell.
That said, most i know are complaining about their Christmas fat so I thought i'd share a giggle my mama sent along.
enjoy it ladies and remember.... eat a cookie AFTER the uphill walk and you'll get all you need and want!
read on....
T'was the month after Christmas,
and all through the house,
Nothing would fit me,
not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled,
the chocolate I'd taste
At the holiday parties
had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales
there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store
(less a walk than a lumber),
I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt...
I said to myself, as I only can,
"You can't spend a winter, disguised as a man!"
So, away with the last of the sour cream dip.
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip.
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie, not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie.
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore...
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all, and to all a good diet.
