Why Corona New Music Vid

I just recorded my first parody — creating clever, heartfelt art is helping me cope with our changing world. Several members of my family are medical professionals, on the front lines — and a member of our own family passed away from COVID-19 only a few days ago. There is suffering all around us from dear ones lost to those we love facing financial crisis. (The new song I’m writing right now explores this suffering, and I’ll be sharing that next week…)

Now back to this song, Why Corona. These lyrics were written by my oh-so-amazing hubby, to express his frustrations and fears, but also in an attempt to cathartically add a little humor to this dire situation we’re facing. It is a parody of The Knack’s My Shirona, and I really enjoyed singing and recording it. I hope it brings a smile to your face, even in this challenging times. A special thanks to Kara Square for incredible video production! Her skills are unmatched, and she is a real joy to create with. Stay healthy and safe my friends. Peace.

New Earth Album Release!

I’m excited to finally share my album New Earth with all of you! It took three years to produce, but in actuality, it took 16 years! So you can imagine why I’m pinching myself. Is this really happening?!?

It’s true, I have released several albums since Valhalla in 2003, but those albums were compilations of previous material or curations from remixes at ccMixter. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of those albums too! But New Earth is extra special to me because it was crafted one song at a time, each song representing the depths of my heart.

The most important thing to me about New Earth is its lyrical theme — awakening to a new harmony on this planet earth. I believe that we can create the world we envision, the reality we imagine. I feel certain that through a connected collective, we can create the world we want to see, together.

I’m spilling over with so many emotions, all encompassed in these 12 songs I share with you. These words and melodies represent the purest part of me, and express the genuine desires of my Soul. As you listen, I hope part of you connects with me too, and that our combined energy illuminates new possibilities for us all! Music is that powerful.

I’m truly grateful to Nico Fyve for an incredible partnership in production and creativity! Also to my hubby for advising me every step, from songwriting to artwork. It is especially emotional that our daughter, Carly, did all of the photography for this album — she is amazing! A special thank you to Kara Square for all of her work to get each track packaged, uploaded and delivered to distributors — and for proofreading every detail. I’m also grateful to Al Linker for his exceptional drumming, and each of the ccMixter artists who contributed their artistry to this record (Uwe Hermann, IDZero, Javolenus, Copperhead, Brad Stanfield, Airtone, Abstract Audio, Martin Cee, 7OOP3D, and PorchCat).

And to you, who support my music, thank you for listening!! By receiving these songs and melodies, you expand my heart-center even more. Your encouragement means soo much. Namaste.
