Pictures of Friday's Show at the Historic 23 Club

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800

It was so much fun playing at 23 Club last Friday night! To be able to be on the same stage that was once graced by legends such as Hank Williams, Jerry Lee Lewis and 'The Man in Black'...Johnny Cash! I played with Cristian Hernandez who was on an upright bass and Ben Badura on trumpet. It was the first time just the 3 of us and it was awesome mixing it up like that and venturing into my jazzier side. :-) We will definitely do it again. Check out the pictures on the photo page of this site.

Another New Moon (Twilight) video made with my song 'Fallen'

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0700

This is so cool, I'm loving it! Thank you for making this video, it looks so awesome! I didn't realize just how much the song fit the story til I saw this video!

There's a comment posted by the person who made it that I wanted to share, it's really cool!
Here it is:
This is how I intended it to come across with the lyrics-
Why can't you see, I'm on my knees and I'm crawling on the ground for you?
(on the ground in the forest after Edward leaves)
seperate minds can be one of a kind and now it's the only truth
(she always haunted by him and hears his voice in her head)
givenï»¿ time it will all come together in this constant plea forever- it was in my grasp, but its fallen too fast
(hope for someday Edward coming back, but in so much pain that he left)
share your empathy for my tragedy and maybe I can get up off the floor
(finding friendship with Jacob)
but it seems to easy to cause insanity so now watch I'll cause some more
(still haunted by Edward in her head, going crazy and riding motorcycles and jumping off a cliff)
-then in the last chorus, given time it will all come together (she and Edward are back together)
then the perspective changes from Bella losing Edward to Jacobï»¿ losing Bella
and you know from the books that it goes back and forth from Bella's perspective to Jacob's a couple of times - so,ï»¿ fans of the book probably already picked up on this intention, but just in case :) but, cool huh? perfect!!!
