We've been busy finishing remodeling our master bathroom so I haven't posted about another song in a while. But we are in between projects a bit on our fixer upper, so here is a little insight into another.
My title track, Take Me Away, was composed by Shelby Neece. He asked if I could put vocals to it and I accepted the challenge. This song came together quickly and I was so happy with how it turned out. The instrumentals just begged for amazing harmonies. I even took my son to the studio when I recorded and he had the idea of adding the wind to the beginning. The lyrics wrote themselves as I listened to the music and this turned into one of my favorite songs on the album.
You can look this up on any streaming site as usual, but here is the YouTube link. Enjoy!

The first time my daughter heard "He Loved Her" she said, Mom? Is this a song about you and Dad?" Well, yes. I originally wrote this song 20 years ago in college. My husband and I had been together for 4 or 5 years already (I don't remember exactly when I wrote it) and married for a couple of those. When this project started coming to life, I brought it back out and revamped the 2nd and 3rd verses. It is my country song that tells a love story. I hope you like it.

Modern Problems was composed by Jeff Thornton and the boys at The Lounge Studios. They gave it to me to add vocals and lyrics. I think it turned out really fun! This song makes me think of Blondie. Its smooth and jazzy, yet funky. Enjoy!!

Hi families, I know it's been a super long time since I've posted anything. Life keeps moving forward and after working 3 part time jobs this past year I decided to go full time. I am now bookkeeping and will be limiting my studio to a very few sporadic lessons. I will not be accepting new students. Thank you all for a great 8 years as being my main occupation. I'm looking forward to my next phase in life.

I'm going to advertise for a new piano teacher since I am full and can't take any more students at the moment. This gal is teaching our of Medical Lake and has a masters in Piano Performance. Her portfolio is impressive! She'd be great to learn from especially for more advanced people.
